Dr. Garan Herix

Dossier
In salarian years, Herix is ancient, and has the experience to back it up. He is extremely intelligent, with several master degrees under his belt including Alien Biology, Pharmacology, Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics, and Neuroscience. While he isn't a fighter on the battlefield, Herix has performed his fair share of assassinations during his time at STG, usually in the form of a poison. STG high command held the Doctor on a pedestal, right up until his time of defection. He was previously on the run and had hunkered down in a secret place on Omega station determined to wait out the reaper invasion, however, RIFT found him before he could even finish unpacking. With his primary defenses destroyed, Herix had no choice but to accompany the RIFT fireteam back to their ship. Now aboard the CSV Caesetia, Herix works hard trying to uncover the mysteries of reaper indoctrination, while at the same time, screening anybody new that comes aboard for signs of it.

History
Dr. Garan Herix is an STG defector that went rogue several years prior to the reaper war after high command had sent him to investigate an artifact that they had potentially dated back to the time of the protheans. Days after his dispatch, he went dark, and the artifact went missing. Somehow, this man has managed to stay one step ahead of both STG and Council intelligence, and he has kept himself hidden. Only now that the entire galaxy is threatened has he come to light; but he remained unreachable until the RIFT fireteam sought him out in person.
