As a response to the theory that the Prothean appears in flashbacks, some audio files have been leaked. He specifically mentions several modern-day races, repeatedly says "Commander," refers to "his cycle" in the past as if recounting it to someone in the present, and converses with other squadmates. Assuming these are actually used in the game, this would indicate that he appears in the present.
