Arcelia Silva Martinez

Arcelia Silvia Martinez is a colonist at Zhu's Hope on Feros. She was originally a 'rent-a-cop' for ExoGeni Corporation, hired to "keep kids from writing graffiti on the walls". After the geth attacked, Arcelia took shelter at Zhu's Hope, though she may have done some scouting along the Prothean Skyway, and spends most of her time talking with Fai Dan.

Though she can give an idea of the tactical situation - at least one dropship at ExoGeni Headquarters and Geth Armatures on the Skyway - Arcelia remains very negative and hostile when Commander Shepard arrives, claiming the commander's heroics don't impress her. If Shepard comments on the strange behaviour of the colonists at Zhu's Hope, Arcelia snaps that they are civilians, who were never trained to deal with the horrors of war.

Arcelia has been infected with Thorian spores and, like the other colonists, will fight to defend the freighter when Shepard returns from ExoGeni Headquarters. If she survives the attack on the freighter, Arcelia apologises for her behaviour; she tried to fight back against the Thorian's control, but any thought of her own was excruciating.
