I just finished my first (and likely only) playthrough of Andromeda, and while it was an interesting time I understand all of the criticisms it received. The one thing that I took away from my playthrough was the way they connected the story to the original trilogy by using the “Benefactor” as an anonymous figure who helped fund the Andromeda initiative to get humanity and the council races out of the Milky Way to “save” them from the Reaper invasion. The only person in the Milky Way who I’d think could be the Benefactor that would make sense lore wise is the Shadow Broker or the Illusive Man. Especially if the implications of Cora’s last name (Harper) of her being TiM’s daughter are true, it gives him even more motivation. Who do you all think is/would turn out to be the Benefactor in a now canceled Andromeda sequel?
