Nassana Dantius

Nassana Dantius is an asari diplomatic emissary assigned to the Citadel. She can be found seated in the Embassy Bar on the Presidium and is the starter for the Asari Diplomacy assignment.

Nassana will not talk to Shepard while the commander is in the bar, but sends a brief message to the Normandy later asking for a discreet meeting. She needs the help of a Spectre for a personal mission. Nassana's sister Dahlia has been taken prisoner by a band of mercenaries and they are holding her sister to ransom. Nassana broke Citadel diplomatic regulations and paid the ransom, but Dahlia has not been returned. She has tracked her sister to Sharjila in the Artemis Tau cluster and she begs Shepard to bring her back.

After raiding the mercenary base Shepard discovers that, far from being a captive, Dahlia Dantius was actually their leader and she was blackmailing her sister. After being confronted with this, Nassana drops the act and thanks Shepard for eliminating a potential embarrassment. (If Shepard investigates Sharjila independently, Nassana is almost disappointed that she didn't get the chance to manipulate the commander, but it doesn't matter now.) If Shepard says Nassana could have just told the truth to begin with, she concedes the point but "we have trust issues in my family".

Nassana then offers payment. Even if Shepard refuses her blood money, Nassana will pay up anyway, claiming she doesn't like being in debt to anyone and saying Shepard can give the money away if the commander's conscience is so bruised.

Shepard can also Charm or Intimidate her for a bigger payout. Nassana agrees that any fool can come up with credits, but she can put Shepard on the buyers list for prototype asari mods.

Nassana Dantius is voiced by Grey DeLisle.
