Thane’s Death – Mass Effect 3

Though Kai Leng’s shenanigans helped rush the result, the death of Thane Krios in Mass Effect 3 was due primarily to Kepral’s Syndrome. Despite Shepard’s attempts, Thane was laid to rest in the Citadel hospital after the attack by Cerberus. Before dying, he recited a prayer with his son Kolyat continuing when Thane was in too much pain. With the impact Thane had in Mass Effect 2 and his heroism in Mass Effect 3, we felt more than a bit of satisfaction when killing Kai Leng and hearing the words, “That was for Thane, you son of a bitch.”
