Samesh Bhatia is the human husband of Nirali Bhatia, an Alliance marine who served and died on Eden Prime. He can be found in front of the Embassies reception desk in the Citadel Presidium, after Tali has been rescued. If Ashley Williams is in the squad, both he and Ashley can reminisce about Nirali. Samesh can offer the Citadel: Homecoming assignment.

Samesh Bhatia is voiced by Brian George.

Samesh says he needs help from someone in the Alliance. He explains that his wife's body has not been returned to him for cremation, for which there has been no explanation. He asks Commander Shepard to speak to Clerk Bosker in the Embassy Lounge. Shepard discovers Nirali's body is being held for tests and reports this to Samesh: the Commander can either assure him that his wife's body will be released promptly or convince him to let the Alliance conduct the tests. In the latter case, Samesh is distraught, demanding to know why the Alliance cannot treat a loyal soldier like Nirali with the respect she deserves. Shepard can be respectful or dismissive in response.

If Ashley is in the squad, she also speaks to Samesh as he is leaving, telling him either that Nirali died to keep him safe and that she would want to make the most of her sacrifice, or that Nirali loved him and used to listen to recordings of his voice every night. Samesh is grateful for Ashley's support, and leaves.

Mass Effect 2Edit

In Mass Effect 2, Samesh will send a message to Shepard's private terminal, thanking the Commander for retrieving his wife's body. He has opened a restaurant that she intended to open, where Alliance soldiers eat for free.

Message: Thank you again.Edit
