- "You do not know the privilege of being a mother. There is power in creation. To shape a life. Turn it towards happiness or despair."
- — Matriarch Benezia
Matriarch Benezia M'Soni was a powerful asari matriarch and the mother of Liara T'Soni. Being a former Thessian Rangers mercenary and asari commando, Benezia had a large array of combat experience under her belt, making her especially dangerous in combat. She had also experienced many different professions in her life, having been a former stripper, mercenary and soldier. By the time she had Liara, she was an exceptional combatant, as well as a powerful biotic. During her time in the Commando Corps, she was approached by members of the RBI and informed about the Athame Project and, despite her disgust, kept it a secret. Before then, she fell in love with Aethyta V'Eahi, eventually having a child together. Eventually, Benezia became a matriarch, and handpicked her own commando unit to act as her entourage.
She eventually met Saren Arterius, and attempted to turn him away from his dark path; however, she and her commandos ended up under his sway, and eventually joined him instead. She continued to serve him until the Battle of Peak 15, where she finally broke his hold, giving Shepard and his squad the necessary information for victory. It was then her own daughter that put her out of her misery, putting a bullet through the back of her head.
