"The swords of evil have arrived to kill us all..."

— Dr. Manuel

Professor Robert Manuel was an archaeologist in the Systems Alliance Science Corps. Passing through the Alliance Academy of Science as one of the top students, Manuel ignored a job offer to work at an asari university on Thessia to follow his colleague and friend, Dr. Warren, into the Alliance Science Corps. Whilst brilliant, Dr. Manuel was socially inept, and found that Warren was the only person he could legitimately communicate with. Sharing her interest in prothean archaeology, he followed her into that field, continuing to do so wherever she went. He was later enlisted with Warren into a classified mission on Eden Prime, where he was allowed to work on a prothean beacon until Council forces arrived to retrieve it. During the geth attack, he had a panic attack, which allowed Sovereign to infiltrate and indoctrinate him. This left him perceivably insane to Dr. Warren, who watched as Manuel tried to kill Shepard, only to be knocked out. Afterwards, Warren had him committed to a psychological corrections facility on Ferris Fields. After the destruction of Sovereign, Dr. Manuel gained some semblance of control over himself, only to have that yanked away when the Collectors abducted the colony, including himself. Taken to the Collector Base he, and the other colonists, were then melted down and pumped into the Human-Reaper.
