To her mother's defense, Liara knows Benezia well enough to be astonished to discover she is working with Saren, and does not believe she could be aiding him of her own free will.
Liara is shy and not used to lying, a trait Ashley Williams is tempted to take advantage of-"Want me to ask about her sex life? Might be illuminating." Regardless, Liara is viewed with suspicion by the rest of the Normandy's crew because of her connection to Benezia. Liara is surprised by Shepard's revelation of the Reapers' responsibility in the Protheans' doom, but believes it to be true, as there was remarkably little evidence of the Protheans' existence-as if something or someone did not want the mystery of their disappearance solved. On her first debriefing aboard the Normandy, Liara shares her theory of cyclical extinction: the Protheans were just the latest in a long line of civilizations violently cast down after reaching their apex. Half a century of dedicated research caused her to uncover telltale patterns that hint to an ancient galactic coverup - unprovable, but her gut feeling tells her otherwise. She is used to defending herself on remote digs-sites are often raided by privateers for artifacts-and in combat, she makes a formidable ally due to her near-complete focus on biotics.Īs it turns out, Liara's knowledge of the Conduit isn't much at all, only that it was connected to the Prothean extinction. Ostensibly her Prothean expertise and assurances of safety are her justifications for being aboard, but Liara becomes one of Shepard's possible squadmates, available for dangerous frontline situations. After a brief scuffle with Saren's forces and subsequent escape from the doomed ruins, Liara joins the Normandy crew, and takes up residence in the labs and storage room behind Doctor Chakwas' med bay. When Liara asks why the geth are after her, a squadmate speculates that Saren may have wanted her Prothean expertise to help him find the Conduit. Shepard's team soon learn that Liara is clueless on Benezia's activities as she hasn't even spoken to her mother in many years. She only realizes they're real when the squad reappears behind and close enough to release her. Nevertheless, she humors her "hallucinations" and answers their questions. If Shepard pursues other leads first and significantly delays rescuing Liara, she mistakes her rescuers for figments of her imagination as a result of being stuck for so long. Liara pleads with Shepard's team for help when they find her, offering to explain her circumstances and means to be freed. However, she accidentally suspended herself in an energy field, unable to move unless someone else came and freed her.įollowing the exposure of Benezia's involvement with renegade Spectre Saren Arterius, Commander Shepard travels to Therum to find Liara T'Soni and discover what she knows. When geth forces showed up on the world in 2183, Liara hid in the old catacombs and activated its barrier curtains. Her work eventually took her to Knossos in the Artemis Tau cluster, to the site of a Prothean ruin on the mining planet Therum. Because of her work, Liara spent most of her time in contented solitude. Liara chose a career in archaeology to indulge her interests and to escape the pressures of being the daughter of such a prominent figure. Benezia's position meant Liara faced high expectations from everyone.
Growing up, she did not relish her role as Benezia's daughter and has shied away from her mother's life as an important figure in galactic affairs. Liara is a pureblood, a fact she speculates to be a reason why her "father" seemingly did not wish to be identified.įrom an early age Liara became fascinated with the Protheans, seeing them as wondrous, mysterious figures. She knew little of who her father was, only that it was another asari. The only child of Matriarch Benezia, Liara was raised by her mother alone.
