Verity Wilkes Scott

Spoilers!!!!!
=== Help for Shepard ===
Captain Shepard had been experiencing daily migraines since May, and was having trouble juggling her duties as Councilor, Captain, and mother. When Garrus experienced a near-fatal attack and further flatlined, her mental health continued to decline. While he recovered, Shepard experienced an episode where she lost touch with reality and believed he was dead for five or ten minutes. Knowing that he had to return to the Normandy, Garrus promised to get her some help. Dr. Rossi, one of the new medical staff on board the SR-3, recommended Verity to help Shepard with things like household chores, cooking, and keeping an eye on Viatrix. Almost immediately, Shepard's health began to improve- presumably due to the relief of stress on her.
=== Background ===
A month into her employment, Garrus asked for her background as a way to verify her good intentions- given he had been busy trying to recover and continue to hunt for the Marquis d'Apien. 
Verity explained that she got her home care aide certification in 2183 on Elysium's McAuliffe Memorial University, and hasn't had any breaks in her employment with the exception of the war.
She went on to explain that her sister's wife's family had been killed on Mindoir, and had been on the ground during the Skyllian Blitz. Unfortunately, her sister-in-law didn't get to meet her child until they were almost two, and had come back extremely broken. This informed Verity's choice of specializing in trauma care and early childhood development.
Unfortunately, it is unknown how much (if any) of this is true.
=== Agent Mary ===
Verity was in fact a Minos operative. Dr. Rossi had been poisoning Shepard's meal replacements with a compound that caused copper to build up in her system- and making her cybernetics corrode. Unfortunately, it was working too well and too quickly, so Verity was brought in to control the doses and help hide the evidence. As Shepard's mind deteriorated, Verity was able to access the secure line Shepard kept in their apartment and passed along the information that the Sun was dying back to Alexander Trechenkov, the head of Minos. Shepard's condition continued to worsen steadily, hidden at first by Verity, Dr. Rossi, as well as Shepard herself. As her ability to tell reality from memory weakened, she began to experience paranoia, though she was also hearing Verity lie to Garrus about how well she was doing.
=== Death ===
Shepard was at death's door when both Khonine and Solana were kidnaped by Kairius Calix. He demanded Shepard in exchange for their release, and Shepard demanded to go because there was nothing else he could do to her. Seeing an opportunity, Dr. Rossi and Verity planned to kidnap Shepard by rerouting her shuttle from the Normandy. The two of them were counting on Verity's status as a trusted caregiver and Garrus likely being mad with grief to also kidnap Viatrix- in case Shepard wasn't the one "they" want. Unfortunately for her, Verity didn't hear Dr. Chakwas re-enter the apartment due to forgetting Viatrix's bottle. The good doctor had initially planned to shoot Verity in the leg and interrogate her, but when she hear that Viatrix was in danger, Chakwas decided to dispense with the niceties and killed Verity outright by shooting her in the back of the head. Chakwas dumped her body in the bathtub with some ice to be dealt with later.
Eventually, Garrus and Chakwas decided to dump her body in the disposal chute where the keepers would find her, and use Major Kirrahe's Spectre status to make the paperwork problem go away.
=== Easter Eggs ===
Verity is a female name derived from the Latin "Veritas", meaning truth. "Wlkes" is the middle name of the famous stage actor "John Wilkes Booth" who assassinator American president Abraham Lincoln. 
==== Meanwhile, on the Discord Server ====
The discord server was up in arms almost from the instant Verity was introduced, believing that she was up to no good. Mentions of her name often had reactions of "knife" emojis.
