Matriarch
From FABT
- "Matriarchs are powerful asari who have entered the final stages of their lives."
- — Councilor Tevos D'gois describing Matriarchs to Marcus Shepard.
A Matriarch is an asari who has reached the third and final phase of their lives; the Matriarch stage. Occurring at around the age of 600-700 years, the Matriarch stage represents the culmination of all knowledge gathered by that asari during their lifetime, rendering them wiser and more experienced than any other being in the galaxy. Through their ventures, they have developed a personal perception of life and all that comes with it, and many choose to devote their lives to either protecting the Asari Republics, becoming missionaries of peace, or simply assigning themselves as diplomats or ambassadors. Matriarchs are also considered the most powerful asari, as by this point they have fully honed their biotic abilities, and have experienced numerous combat scenarios.
