"One person did that?" Kaidan frowned. Creepy. Definitely creepy.
"SPECTRES? They're all different. Different races, different abilities, different methods. Some are heroes, some are assholes, some see things in black and white while others have a spectrum gradient of gray." Kaidan considered it for a moment and shrugged a shoulder, "First human SPECTRE was Commander Shepard. The guy who gave his life to save the galaxy. You think I'm a boyscout - he'd have made your teeth hurt. He was the best person I've ever known in my life, and there are about four entire species in my galaxy that would say the same thing about him. He was pretty much a paragon of all that is good and right and just in the universe. Kind of sickening, really, except that he was also very human, with all the faults a regular guy can have. The second human SPECTER is kind of a dick." He shrugged a shoulder, "That's not saying much. One of the Turian SPECTREs was the kind of guy I'd follow into any battle, because he was that kind of leader. Another one.. I think he was like your Sith. He started off with a purpose, but after indoctrination, his purpose twisted. It was like he couldn't see, or didn't care, about the cost of achieving his goals."
"In the end, he tried to fight it. He remembered who and what he was," Kaidan finished, "Ate his gun to stop being a threat, when he realized his will was about to be broken."
