The councilors might complain about our methods to soothe their consciences, but they never look too closely.
~ Vasir

Tela Vasir was the secondary antagonist of Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker, though she also appeared in Mass Effect comic Foundation.

Vasir was a rogue asari Spectre who threw her lot in with the Shadow Broker in exchange for "valuable intel". She served as one of his top agents and hitmen. She claimed that she was doing this for the greater good.

Biography[]

Foundation[]

Lair of the Shadow Broker[]

Tela Vasir first appears in Illium investigating the disappearance and attempted assassination of Liara T'Soni. Working alongside fellow human Spectre and Liara's old friend, Commander Shepard, Vasir seems like a pleasant enough individual, also following Shepard's lead on Liara's location and expressing apparent shock at the bombing of Dracon Trade Center building by Shadow Broker goons.

However it is revealed that Vasir herself was behind the bombing and that in fact she has been attempting to kill Liara all along. Revealing her true colors, as well as contempt for Liara being a pureblood asari, Vasir flees, but is pursued by Shepard and Liara.

Eventually, Vasir crashes her sky-car, and retreats into Azure Hotel, as well as radioing for backup. Though injured, Vasir still has plenty of fight left in her, taking an innocent woman hostage and threatening to kill her if Shepard and Liara do not stand down. Shepard, however, is able to distract Vasir long enough for Liara to incapacitate her and save the hostage. Vasir then engages Shepard and Liara in a pitched battle but is ultimately defeated. Mortally wounded, Vasir insists that her actions were necessary and refuses to be judged, least of all by Shepard, who she views as being no better due to working for Cerberus

Trivia[]

  • The boss fight with Tela Vasir is widely considered to be the stand-out one in the game, especially given that the fight with the "final" boss was largely considered anti-climactic and overly easy.
  • Despite being a Vanguard, Vasir uses an assault rifle, which is unavailable to the Vanguard class in Mass Effect 2.
    • The assault rifle in question is a M-15 Vindicator.
  • Vasir was known for her investigation of the theft of confidential galactic economic data from the Citadel Council's Ministry of Finance in 2185, and her role in the dissolution of a slave trading ring in the city of Aegohr on the salarian colony of Nasurn.
  • Vasir is rendered more sympathetic in light of a Cerberus Daily News update that reveals she arrested over 200 batarian slavers due to intelligence received from the Shadow Broker.
  • Vasir is correct concerning herself and Shepard if the player is a full Renegade. Renegade Shepard's loyalty to the Illusive Man is little different from Vasir's own loyalty to the Shadow Broker. Both are also terrorists, xenophobes, hypocrites, and sadists.
  • Vasir's voice actor is believed to be Jessica Anne Bogart.
