Sha'ira

From Mass Effect Wiki

Sha'ira (known to many as the Consort) is a well-known and influential asari living in the Consort's Chambers of the Citadel. She has many famous and powerful clients that see her for a variety of reasons: each person's needs are unique, but Sha'ira always manages to accommodate them. Sha'ira offers personal services as well as entertainment and conversation, but she is also known for the value of her advice. Commander Shepard claims she sounds like an oracle, but is assured there's nothing mystical about her. Sha'ira has many acolytes from different species - other asari (including Nelyna), salarians and humans - who tend to the needs of her clients if Sha'ira can't see them. Despite Nelyna's claims that Sha'ira is just a generous, compassionate woman, her first human acolyte, who has recently begun working there, tells an asari colleague that she felt a calling to work in the Consort's Chambers.

Sha'ira is a powerful and highly respected figure on the Citadel. She is so popular that it can take months to get an appointment, and a visit to the Consort's Chambers can cost half a year's pay. Her fame causes many characters to discuss her, especially in the nearby Embassies; Xeltan, an elcor diplomat, and Private Fredricks of the Alliance both mention Sha'ira. When Shepard arrives on the Citadel, Sha'ira is having trouble with a friend and client named Septimus who has been spreading lies about her. She asks Shepard to help by speaking to him. (If Shepard's romantic interest is in the squad at the time, he or she is a little discomfited when Sha'ira says she gives "advice to some... comfort to others", asking her to explain just why she wanted to see the commander.) It is only possible to enjoy the Consort's services after helping her with Septimus and being dissatisfied with her given reward of words. Being gracious will earn a mysterious trinket that can be used on Eletania to unlock a prothean ruins system on the planet.
