Changes: Vido Santiago

Revision as of 07:00, 14 November 2010

“Actually take your shot. Give me a reason to put you down like the mad dog you are. Again.”

“The chances of surviving are… slim.” — Spoilers for Mass Effect 2 follow.

Vido Santiago is a human mercenary and a co-founder, with Zaeed Massani, of the Blue Suns. Zaeed controlled the mercenaries while Vido managed the finances. Arguments ensued when Vido wanted to hire batarian mercenaries, citing the cheap labor opportunities; Zaeed strongly disagreed with this policy. Eventually, Vido betrayed Zaeed by turning their men against him. Vido usurped Zaeed by paying six of his men to hold him down while he shot Zaeed in the head. Vido took control of the Blue Suns, managing their activities from the shadows. At some point thereafter, Vido ceded de facto leadership of the Blue Suns to Solem Dal'serah, a batarian. This ingenious strategy both strengthened public relations and ensured his own safety. Since, he has gone by the title of 'Co-Executive Officer'.

Vido was contacted by a Dr. Farrin from ExoGeni Corporation to provide safe transport for a Prothean artifact on Joab. Believing the artifact itself to be far more valuable than Farrin's transportation fee, Vido betrayed Farrin, instead directing Captain Narom from the Blue Suns Base on Sanctum to torture Farrin's intermediary until he gave up the location of the dig site. Vido then sent a team to steal the artifact and transport it to the recently hijacked MSV Strontium Mule, but this plan was foiled by Commander Shepard.

Vido also seized control of a refinery on Zorya, using its workers as slave labor. Shepard and Zaeed are able to track him there. However, the ensuing battle resulted in a fire which endangered the refinery's civilian workers. Shepard has to make a difficult choice: let the workers die in order to take Vido down for good, or save the workers, potentially giving Vido the chance to escape.

Vido Santiago is voiced by Richard Green.

Fate

During Zaeed's loyalty mission, one of two things can happen to Vido. If the refinery workers are saved (Paragon), then he will escape the refinery, but will be reminded of his own mortality when a soldier next to him dies from one of Zaeed's shots. If you leave the workers to die (Renegade), then he will be wounded by Zaeed, causing him to drop in a pool of flammable liquid. Zaeed then ejects a heatsink into the pool, burning Vido to death.
