BioWare may have just tried to pull a fast one on gamers with the release of the new cinematic trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda. While we were busy analyzing our cast of supporting characters, the plot and the villain, BioWare may have been hoping that a massive connection to Commander Shephard's adventures went overlooked. Of course, that wasn't the case.
Among your team of Pathfinders is your second-in-command, a Biotic named Cora Harper. Through the tie-in Mass Effect novels and the comic book Mass Effect: Evolution, we know that Cerebus' leader, The Illusive Man has a family before he joined the clandestine organization and that his real name was Jack Harper.
Is it possible that Cora is TIM's daughter? Nothing has been confirmed by Bioware and this could just be a coincidence but that seems pretty unlikely. These type of connections are definitely creating a lot of excitement as the game's March 21 release date draws ever closer.
