Through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began.

EDI - THE CHARIOT

EDI is a symbol of willpower to Regis Shepard. Born out of a VI on an Alliance base on Luna, her determination knows no bounds, even when she was a shackled AI on the Cerberus SR-2. Perhaps her determination was best shown when she took over the Cerberus infiltration unit and gave herself a body. She takes action on her own terms, as she is the Normandy, and the Normandy is her. But she's not just a ship nor is she just an AI - she's a dear friend and just as alive as the organics on board. RENDERED IN BLENDER v5.1 CYCLES

ASHLEY WILLIAMS - THE HIEROPHANT

Ashley Williams has always believed in something deeper, that there is more to the galaxy -- how can you look out there and not believe in something? Her beliefs extend further into a strong tradition with the Alliance and her family. But now she has grown far past the shackles the Alliance placed on her family name, rising above being just a gunnery chief stuck on planetside missions, and now a respected member of the galaxy's Spectres. It's a reminder that she's not afraid to challenge the status quo and willing to speak her mind and her truth, the core of her beliefs and her place in the galaxy. Regis Shepard is glad to have her as a close confidant. RENDERED IN BLENDER V5.1 CYCLES

MIRANDA LAWSON - THE HIGH PRIESTESS

KAIDAN ALENKO - THE EMPEROR

If there is one thing Kaidan Alenko has craved throughout his life, it's control. The Alliance gave him structure and purpose, but it was Regis Shepard that helped him accept his biotics, a piece of himself that is forever a part of him -- not something to be held back out of fear of losing control, just like that fated day in BAaT... Kaidan has risen far above being just an Alliance soldier with an L2 implant to being a human Spectre and leading his own biotic spec ops squad, speaking to his experience, his system, and the authority he is capable of holding.

REGIS SHEPARD - DEATH

Regis Shepard is an agent of change, whether he likes it or not. His life can be measured in changes happening to him - becoming a biotic, becoming the Butcher of Torfan and an N7, becoming the first human Spectre, dying and being brought back to life, and saving the galaxy from the Reapers, although many critics would say some prices he paid were too high... but the bell tolls for all, and without his ability to bring about change, there would be no critics for his actions. He is the hand that could help save, or the hand that could help end. RENDERED IN BLENDER V5.1 CYCLES
