Kasumi Goto
From FABT
- "I'm the best thief in the business, not the most famous. Got to watch my step to keep it that way."
- — Kasumi Goto
Kasumi Goto was a professional thief and stealth specialist, as well as a member of the Normandy Squad. Born on Earth, Kasumi ran away at an early age to explore the planet, eventually leaving altogether and exploring the galaxy. She became a professional thief, and eventually the best in the business, capturing one of the only tactical cloaks with unlimited charge. At some point, she ran into fellow thief Keiji Okuda, and the two became partners and, eventually, lovers. Unfortunately, the two of them eventually stole from a very wealthy criminal, and Keiji ended up dead: Kasumi then swore vengeance on the man who murdered him, which led her to join Shepard and eventually kill the man responsible. Since then, Kasumi had been a special and reliable member of the team, forming a sisterhood with Tali'Zorah, and developing a flirtatious relationship with Garrus Vakarian, that eventually developed into a proper relationship, and later marriage after the Reaper War. She sided with the New Council during the Post-Apocalyptic War, becoming the only human to serve in the New Council military during the war. After the war, she was given amnesty by Prometheus, but was stripped of her rank and status and forced to live on Feros with her husband as CEO of a weapons development corporation.
During the buildup to the Dominion Civil War, Kasumi escaped Feros to help Thane'Shepard and Reby'Reegar in evading Prometheus, who were trying to eliminate all of Shepard's team members, and had been doing so gradually ever since the Reaper War, in preparation for expanding human influence. Kasumi was instrumental in having them team up and reveal Prometheus' subtle takeover of the Galactic Dominion, and as a result, indirectly helped start the Civil War. She was later lured to Feros by Reia'Inas, who had murdered Garrus and faked a message from him asking her to return. There, Kasumi battled and severely injured Reia, but not before being mortally wounded. Kasumi perished in the destruction of Vakarian Weapon Industries' headquarters.
