Golo

From Mass Effect Wiki

Golo, once Golo'Mekk vas Usela, was a quarian living on Omega in the Terminus Systems. He was an exile from the Migrant Fleet who became a contact for Cerberus.


[edit] Dossier

Ten years ago, Golo was a member of the Usela's crew, until he made a deal with the elusive Collectors. They wanted two dozen 'pure' quarians from the Flotilla, quarians who were uncontaminated because they had not gone on their Pilgrimage. Golo agreed to sell his own people in exchange for new technology, but he was discovered and punished with exile. After he was thrown out of the Migrant Fleet, Golo established himself on Omega.

Golo managed to survive on Omega despite the harsh and dangerous conditions there. He eventually became known to Cerberus, and made himself into a useful contact. In 2183, the Illusive Man had become more interested in the Migrant Fleet, and wanted the Fleet's codes to monitor its movements and communications. Golo promised Pel he would help in getting the codes.

Golo contacted a scout ship from the Idenna, the Cyniad, and claimed he had vital technology to sell. Feda'Gazu vas Idenna agreed, with caution, to meet Golo on the planet Shelba to make the exchange. Though she and her crew came prepared for treachery, they weren't prepared for an ambush by Cerberus forces. Golo helped to capture Hilo'Jaa vas Idenna, the Cyniad's pilot, who became enraged when Golo used his old quarian name and insulted him by referring to him as "Golo vas Nedas" or "Golo nar Tasi" (meaning 'crew of nowhere'; 'child of no one'). In response to the insult, Golo spitefully smashed the faceplate of Hilo's environmental suit.

After doing his part, Golo returned to Omega, but Hilo contracted a virulent disease, making it harder for Pel to interrogate him and get the codes for the Migrant Fleet. Golo offered to make amends to Pel by extending an offer from the Collectors, who were interested in buying healthy human biotics - like Gillian Grayson. Once he had passed on the offer Golo believed he was safe, only to run into Lemm'Shal nar Tesleya.

The young Lemm had heard of the Cyniad ambush, and suspected Golo's involvement. Under interrogation at gunpoint, Golo claimed he was only the middleman, and, playing friends, sent Lemm to find Hilo, who was being held captive by Pel. Golo tipped Pel and his men off beforehand, hoping Pel would kill the younger quarian, but Lemm, mistrusting Golo, launched a surprise attack before they were ready.

Lemm escaped to the Migrant Fleet with Kahlee Sanders, Hendel Mitra and Gillian Grayson after rescuing them from Pel's warehouse. Eager to recover Gillian, the Illusive Man contacted Golo to help get them aboard the Flotilla, using his knowledge of Fleet protocol. Golo was offered a high sum of credits, but was also happy to exact revenge on the people who had exiled him. He and Paul Grayson travelled to the Fleet together in the stolen Cyniad, got aboard the Idenna with Hilo's code phrases, and launched a surprise assault.

Armed by Cerberus, Golo killed many of the Idenna's crew in the attack, then caught Kahlee Sanders attempting to rescue Gillian. Under Paul Grayson's orders, Golo beat Kahlee into submission, but had reckoned without Paul's change of heart. Paul managed to distract Golo and shot the treacherous quarian in the head.
