Illusive Man

The Illusive Man runs Cerberus. His face is perfectly symmetrical and his nose perfectly proportioned. He has close-cropped silver-grey hair and is clean-shaven. (p. 152) His eyes are "steely blue" (p. 153). He is almost certainly a pureblood Caucasian.

His birth name is forgotten.

Quotes
"Not everyone can be saved." The man who quotes this continues, "If humanity is to survive, sacrifices must be made for the greater good. The Alliance doesn't understand this. Cerberus does." (p.204)
