Lia'Vael nar Ulnay

Lia'Vael is a [Quarian] living on the [Citadel] in [[|Mass Effect 2]].

In the mission [|Citadel: Crime in Progress], she will be accused of theft by a [Volus], Kor Tun, who claims that she stole his credit chit after bumping in to him outside of a Saronis Applications store. Lia'Vael claims that she is innocent, while Kor Tun demands that a [C-Sec] officer investigate. Shepard can choose to help resolve the situation, despite the disapproval of the C-Sec officer.

During the mission, Shepard can surprise the Quarian with his/her knowledge of the Quarians. After Shepard asks her about her interest in the ships sold in the area, he/she casually mentions the [Pilgrimage]. Lia'vael is astonished that he/she knows about the Pilgrimage. Shepard states that he/she used to have a [Quarian Machinist] (Tali'Zorah nar Rayya) aboard his/her ship.

If Shepard decides to do the Paragon interrupt, he/she will find out that things are not going so well for Lia'Vael. To survive, the Quarian has had to resort to utilizing charity services on the Citadel. It is during this time that she has come to face all of the prejudices that exist about the Quarians.

Utilizing the Paragon interrupt to defend Lia'Vael will grant the player 10 Paragon points. For having simply helped Lia'Vael clear her name, the player will be granted 5 Paragon points.
