Looking Into Aria’s Mysterious Past

Piecing Together This Asari’s Story

To start up with what we bonk , Aria T’loak arrived at Z many decades before the start of the trilogy . Back then , a krogan ruled the station , and made Aria one of his dancers in the Afterlife nightspot . Aria ’s ambition reached much higher than that , andafter year of rising through the ranks and garnering power , she usurped the krogan and turned his own soldiers against him . She spared his life and gave him a new name – the Patriarch – and was thereafter regarded as the queen of the Afterlife club and Omega as a whole . She still give this position inMass Effect 2 , wield a flimsy balance betweencriminal organizations like the Eclipseand Blue Suns .

TheMass Effectcomics hold a bit more data about Aria T’loak and her actions between this mo and her show in the main games . However , these comics are not all believe canyon with the games , and therefore wo n’t be considered here .

Being an asari , Aria is incredibly long - lived , and it ’s intemperate to figure out how long ago all of this actually happened within the lore . But it ’s clear that Aria has been on Omega for at least a 100 by the start of the second plot , and any ties she has to her previous life are long severed . Still , devotee have deduced from context clues and Aria ’s power in the Omega DLC that she was potential an Asari commandobefore her time on Omega , a soldier with exceptional biotic power .

Urdnot Wrex from the Mass Effect trilogy

Wrex’s Mercenary Stories May Hold The Answers

Two Long-Lived Warriors Squaring Off With Each Other

It may not seem like there ’s much to go off of from that , but there ’s one bit of lore in the firstMass Effectgame that may view as a clue . Urdnot Wrex , another krogan who has lived for hundred as a mercenary , may tell Shepard the storey ofhis rivalry with another merc , an asari commando named Aleena . Like Wrex , she was an good killer , though the two turned against one another when Wrex was rent to pour down Aleena before she could kill Wrex ’s client . The two battled on gameboard a monolithic space post for days , until Wrex blew it up and escaped . Though , as he discovered later , Aleena made it out as well , and he never saw her again .

Urdnot Wrex can be find in a few locations on the Citadel in Mass Effect . Like Garrus , he can be missed if players are n’t looking for him .

The theory goes that Aleena , this asari ranger reverse mercenary , was Aria operating under a false identity . This battle with Wrex happen over a century ago , right beforeAria fled to Omegato build a Modern life . The two asari seem to have very similar power levels and personalities from what Wrex articulate about Aleena , andsince the character never meet during the game , there ’s never a fortune to rise or confute the theory for good . Still , it ’s an interesting idea with just enough grounds for it to act as a possible account for Aria ’s past before the events of theMass Effecttrilogy .
