Cerberus is a secretive organization in the Mass Effect universe that exists to protect and advance Human interests in the galaxy. Many Cerberus personnel think of their organization as merely pro-human, but outsiders widely regard Cerberus as an anti-alien terrorist organization.

Organization

Known Cerberus operations are controlled by an individual who calls himself "the Illusive Man". The Illusive Man, once called Jack Harper, founded Cerberus after the First Contact War and an incident with the turians involving a Reaper artifact (no connection to the Reapers was known at the time). Cerberus has small cells operating on many planets in the Terminus Systems.

Because the Illusive Man like to keep Cerberus operations under tight control, the organization never has more than about a dozen operations in progress at any given time. Even so, some Cerberus projects have "gone rogue", conducting their operations in ways that would be unacceptable to the Illusive Man and attempting to hide their actions from him.

Threat Assessment

Cerberus has a well-developed intelligence network and resources comparable to a large, interplanetary corporation, but it is evidently not a match for a major government organization in a direct confrontation.

Known Operatives

  • The Illusive Man
  • Miranda Lawson
  • Jacob Taylor
