Awesome Mass Effect Secrets You Probably Didn’t Know

The Illusive Man’s real name

For those of you who are unaware, the illusive man has a pretty interesting background story and you can read it in Mass Effect Evolution. Long before founding Cerberus, the Illusive Man was well-known as Jack Harper, a mercenary and part of a special group under the command of General Williams (Ashley Williams’s grandfather). The Illusive Man had friends and had a normal civilian with a job and a family until the discovery of alien life. After the events of Evolution, everything changed and he became the monster we know today.
