   Summary

   In 2183, Nihlus was shot by his mentor on Eden Prime. He survived.

   By 2185, Nihlus had spent two years lying on a Citadel operating table, his body and mind pieced back together by the Council’s finest surgeons. From the confines of a hospital room, he watched the vids as Shepard filled the void he'd left behind.

   Come 2186, Nihlus forsakes his Spectre status to join the Normandy, chasing phantoms and answers to questions he's afraid to ask. Ahead of a war summit that will determine the galaxy's future, Nihlus and Shepard reforge a connection that should have been allowed to stay broken.
