"The relationship is symbiotic. Organic and machine intertwined; a union of flesh and steel. The strengths of both, the weaknesses of neither!"

— Saren Arterius

Spectre Saren Arterius was a veteran Spectre who served the Council with distinction for many years. Considered easily one of the best spectres in existence, and the Council's top agent, Saren's record was nothing but commendations and victories, showing his vast retinue of accomplishments. However, these victories came at a price; Saren's methodology and MO was to get the job done no matter the consequences. This meant Saren was ruthlessly efficient, willing to sacrifice civilian lives to neutralize a dangerous threat. Saren also held strong prejudice towards humans, considering them arrogant and not ready for the power that came with a Council seat, making him an arch enemy of Anderson. He was the mentor of Nihlus Kryik, as well as his closest friend. Unfortunately, Saren's ambition meant he easily succumbed to the power of a mysterious dreadnought, which would lead Saren to betray the Council and begin a campaign to bring back the Reapers. By the end of the war, Saren eventually broke free of his indoctrination to kill himself, "neutralizing" the threat he posed to himself and the entire galaxy.
