- "I never settle for anything but for the best."
- — Miranda Lawson
CEO Miranda Lawson was a former member of Cerberus, former second-in-command and assistant of the Illusive Man, a former SIA operative and a member and founder of Red Sky, who is also a member of the Normandy Squad. Miranda, while initially arrogant, grew to admit to some of her infallacies, especially in regards to her supposed "perfection." Not so much as born on Earth as she was grown in a lab, Miranda is a literal example of a human being grown from a test tube. Her "father", Henry Lawson, then head of his conglomerate Lawson Enterprises, was looking to create the perfect human, as he wanted a candidate to encase and perptuate his legacy; he wanted to create a dynasty. Miranda was born with a unique set of biotic powers and was perfect in nearly everything: she was attractive, she was highly intelligent, could process information very quickly, had a much longer lifespan and could multi-task extremely efficiently, and was also an exceptional combatant. However, she wasn't quite perfect enough, and despite his attempts to do the same on her "successor", Oriana, Miranda didn't give him the chance; liberating Oriana, she fled Earth and into the hands of Cerberus, who hid Oriana in exchange for Miranda working for them. During the Collector campaign however, she was persuaded by Marcus of the brutality of Cerberus and she defected, something that angered the Illusive Man intensely. Following the Reaper War, she co-founded Red Sky with Zaeed Massani, effectively becoming their leader following Zaeed's death.
