Some of the Leviathans managed to get away and hide until the final cycle, aka Mass Effect 3. Without warning the Catalyst attacked, slaughtered, and processed its creators into the first Reaper, we call HARBINGER. PEACE WILL NEVER HAPPEN BETWEEN ORGANICS AND SYNTHETICS The Catalyst gathered some pawns (kind of like the Collectors) and went across the galaxy watching relations and secretly gaining genetic material, and after a while it came to the conclusion: It was given a mandate by Leviathan to preserve organic life at any cost, but this would prove to be their downfall. The Leviathans created the Catalyst to help oversee organic and synthetic relationships. So what they did was they made a synthetic solution of their own called the Catalyst. These "synthetics" however, would usually rise up violently and destroy their creators, causing the Leviathans to lose precious slaves since synthetics couldn't be indoctrinated. They made note that the species that served them would make "synthetics" to help out. Reapers were created I think about 2 billion years ago or 37 million years ago.Īnyhow, they were created by the Leviathan, an over-confident species that controlled most species through indoctrination, which was a talent they had by birth, as almost all the species that served them were just about slaves. These massive constructs exist so that any intelligent life in the galaxy would eventually discover them and base their technology upon them – all part of a scheme to harvest the galaxy’s sentient life in a repeating cycle of purges that has continued relentlessly over countless millennia. Sovereign also reveals that the Reapers were the original creators of the Citadel and the mass relay network. The first Reaper known to have communicated with organic life, referred to by Saren Arterius as Sovereign, claimed that the Reapers have neither beginning nor end.Įven their true name is a mystery "Reapers" was a name bestowed by the Protheans, and Sovereign stated that whatever the Protheans chose to call them is irrelevant: "we simply. They hibernate there, dormant for thousands of years, before they are given the signal to return. The Reapers reside in dark space, the vast, mostly starless space between galaxies.
The Reapers, known by the geth as the Old Machines, are a highly advanced machine race of synthetic/organic starships. There is a lot of information about them here - I'll copy the summary, but the whole page is worth a read (beware of the obvious spoilers of course) In the end, what they choose to call us is irrelevant. "Reaper? A label created by the Protheans to give voice to their destruction.
