I have 2 ideas for villains.

Cult of Knowledge - a secret society that collects knowlegde of the whole galaxy and preserve this in their hidden library on a space station. Knowlegde is the most valuable and sacred for them. However they have no desire to share it with anyone outside the society out of possible usage of their knowledge to war. To keep their existence in secrecy they erease memory of ones who discover them or brainwash them into make them join the society forever. They are even ready to kill the witnesses and fabricate an accident or suicide. With they memory modifying devices they can even frame innocent random people into their murders. They not only collect data but also steal resources to make their space station bigger for more books and discs. If you ask for their knowledge about the reapers, then I say they misinterpretated the prothean warnings and consider reapers as a mythology or fiction.

Order of Unity - genetically modified fish-like monogendered species that believe wars have basic sources in difference. They condemn all goverments and wars. To ensure permanent peace they plan to change all intelligent species into their kind by various methods like drugging food, poisoning air and water with mutagens. Only those, who have stomach would survive. In their vision there is no place for synthetics, quarians, humans and turian because their mutagens don't work on them out of dextro-aminoacids and too wide genetical varierty. To preserve peace after the galactic mutation they would also keep animals don't evolve, so they wouldn't rise against them.
