“Make no mistake — this is a one-way trip.” — Spoilers for Mass Effect: Andromeda follow.

Mass Effect: Andromeda: Nexus Uprising

At the start of the Nexus uprising, Spender discovered Calix Corvannis and his crew raiding the armory. Instead of immediately calling security, Spender decided to abstain a while, planning to side with the winning faction.

When the Nexus leadership chose to wake Nakmor Morda and her fellow krogan warriors in an effort to cull the uprising, Spender was sent to negotiate for their cooperation. With the promise that he'd be promoted to chief of staff, Spender overplayed his hand by promising Morda a seat on the council and a voice for the krogan race in future Nexus affairs.

Once the uprising was quashed with the krogans invaluable help, and the agreement came to light, Spender disavowed any knowledge of the deal. Whilst he was privately reprimanded by Foster Addison, he was publicly credited for ending the uprising, prompting Morda and the krogans to leave the Nexus.

Mass Effect: Andromeda

In the wake of the Nexus uprising, Spender devoted much of his time disparaging the sole remaining krogan aboard the Nexus, Nakmor Kesh. As Superintendent of the Nexus, Kesh played a crucial role in its leadership, notably in the construction and technical departments. This was much to the chagrin of Spender, who did all he could to belitle the efforts of Kesh and her teams and to limit her influence in the affairs of the Nexus.

Upon getting to know Kesh's grandfather, Nakmor Drack, Pathfinder Ryder was asked to investigate Spender's part in the Nexus uprising. Working alongside Drack and Kesh, Pathfinder Ryder exposes Spender's role in assisting the exiles, and is given the choice to either exile Spender himself, or imprison him.

Trivia

If Pathfinder Ryder chooses to imprison Spender, he can later be found in the cells in Nexus Operations. Provided he was not killed by Drack, Spender's exile collator, Aroane Tao, can also be found in the adjacent cell.
