Mass Effect 2 Story Explained: Plot Summary and the Suicide Mission
The plot of Mass Effect 2 in order, from Shepard's death and revival to the suicide mission through the Omega 4 Relay. Who the Collectors are, what they were building, and how the ending can go.
Cerberus
Cerberus was a clandestine, human-supremacist paramilitary organization led by the Illusive Man, willing to use any means to advance humanity's place in the galaxy. Branded a terrorist group by both the Systems Alliance and the Citadel Council, it was ultimately destroyed during the Reaper War.
Collectors
The Collectors were an enigmatic insectoid race dwelling beyond the Omega 4 Relay, long dismissed as myth. In truth they were the last of the Protheans, genetically rewritten and cybernetically enslaved by the Reapers, who used them to abduct human colonies and build a Human-Reaper.
Garrus Vakarian
Garrus Vakarian was a turian former C-Sec investigator who left the law behind to chase justice his own way. He fought beside Commander Shepard against Saren, waged a one-man war on Omega as the vigilante Archangel, and helped coordinate the turian fleets during the Reaper War.
Harbinger
Harbinger was the first Reaper ever created, forged from the Leviathans and serving as the template for every Reaper that followed. It directed the Collectors from dark space, possessing them to fight in person, and later led the assault on Earth as the oldest and largest of its kind.
Human-Reaper: The Proto-Reaper of the Collector Base
The Human-Reaper was an incomplete Reaper under construction by the Collectors at their base beyond the Omega 4 Relay. Built from the liquefied remains of abducted human colonists, the larval being was meant to become a new Reaper in the image of humanity before Commander Shepard destroyed it.
