Ambassador Udina
Character from Mass Effect by BioWare
Humanity's ambassador to the Citadel Council — a political operator who wants humanity to succeed badly enough that he'll compromise everything that would make success worth having.
Also known as: Udina, Ambassador Udina, Donnel Udina
What They Know
- Humanity's most recent ambassador to the Citadel Council races; preceded by Anita Goyle, who negotiated more carefully
- Used his political access to prevent Saren's indictment at the Council hearing, calculating that a failed case would cost more than waiting — he was wrong
- Grounded the Normandy on direct Council authority when Shepard pursued Saren; this delayed the resolution of the ME1 crisis by hours that mattered
- Made compromises with Cerberus elements during the Reaper War that he justified on security grounds; the justification doesn't hold up
- The tension between Udina and Anderson is the tension between politics and integrity played out in a friendship — they have respected each other and undermined each other in equal measure
