Admiral Kahoku

From Mass Effect Wiki

Rear Admiral Kahoku is an Alliance officer, who fought with distinction against the batarians, earning the loyalty and respect of his men. He can be found in the Citadel Tower, frustrated at being unable to obtain an audience with the Council. Kahoku is attempting to gain help discovering the fate of a group of his marines, who vanished while on an assignment.

Rear Admiral Kahoku is voiced by Brian George.

Spoiler warning: plot and / or ending details follow.

Commander Shepard can speak to Kahoku after hearing his name from Captain Anderson, while investigating Dr. Chloe Michel's blackmail, or after finding Kahoku's marines on Edolus, reporting that the marines were lured to a thresher maw nest. Once told what became of the marines, Kahoku leaves, vowing to uncover the truth behind the deaths of his men.

As Shepard later learns, Kahoku then went to the Shadow Broker and purchased information that lead him to Cerberus; Kahoku manages to pass on the co-ordinates of Cerberus' facilities to Shepard, though Cerberus is already hunting him. After Shepard's squad raids the research facilities on Binthu, they find Kahoku's body, covered with needle marks, imprisoned with some of Cerberus' test subjects. They avenge him by launching an assault on Nepheron.

Later, Shepard can hear a news report in the Citadel elevator about Kahoku's death. Due to the circumstances, the Alliance attributes his death to 'natural causes'. The report mentions Kahoku was married and had three children.

[edit] Trivia

The dialogue box when his body is found lists him as Rear Admiral Kohaku, instead of Kahoku.
