Ento

Name: Ento Rank: Civilian Race: Salarian male Born: Mannovai - 2166 Class: Engineer

Ento is a talented technophile. Hacking, VI crafting, information dealing, electronic warfare, and spectrum security are all lines on his resume. A proud free agent, he's farmed his services out to groups both within and beyond Council space, although he is careful to make sure he stays on the right side of Council law.

He gained some amount of mild infamy in turian circles by hacking through massive exploits in their military communications network. When discovered, he claimed he was contracted by a Spectre in a bid to tighten up Council information security. Perhaps as a face-saving measure or perhaps because Ento was telling the truth, the turians never pursued any action against him.

Recently, his stock has been rising with the Systems Alliance. He built ingenious VI gatekeepers which were installed in human colonies near the Perseus Veil, which confounded Geth war sorties without having to fire a shot, freeing up the Alliance Navy to actively bring the fight to the enemy rather than play defense. Though the Geth are expected to defeat the countermeasures eventually, it was breathing room the Alliance greatly appreciated, and they paid Ento well for his consultant work.

Ento is fast-talking, prone to ego-stroking and bragging, often to his detriment. While this has the effect of making him appear to be a self-important primadonna, he is careful to deflect close examination of his life and activities. One with knowledge of Salarians can take certain assumptions from this, and it's a fair bet that Ento holds far more cards than he shows. He knows this, and delights in neither confirming nor denying wild rumors, further obfuscating himself.
