Daro'Xen vas Moreh

Daro'Xen vas Moreh is a member of the quarian Admiralty Board. She possesses a great-if very clinical intellect, having performed surgery on her toys as a child with no apparent sign of attachment.

When Tali'Zorah was accused of treason in 2185, Daro'Xen derided the trial as ""a farce born of fear." Despite that, she was on the fence regarding Tali's guilt- her only interest was in the tug of war between the various factions over whether they should try to launch a war on the geth to reclaim their homeworld- of which Xen was in favor. She wished to return control of the geth "to their rightful masters", reasoning they were created to serve the quarians who made them. When Shepard made the decision to withhold results of Rael'Zorah's reseach, Xen sent a cryptic message to the *Normandy*, stating that humanity will not reap the benefits of the research that Shepard tried to hide but instead they "will watch from a distance as the quarian people reclaim not just their homeworld, but the largest synthetic army in the galaxy."

Rael'Zorah's weapons research along with Xen's R&D corps creation of a means to cause mass white-noise jamming against the geth ladar scanning convinced most quarians and the Admiralty Board (with Admiral Koris dissenting) to launch an attack to retake Rannoch in 2186. Xen took pride in her technological contributions to their war with the geth, much preferring war to the stalemate of the last several centuries.

In the aftermath of the peace between the geth and the quarians Xen joined the Crucible Project- turning her considerable intellect and talent toward improving the their weapon against the Reapers- though she also expressed that she was not satisfied with the device to fellow quarian Admiral Shala'Rann.

### Every One That Asketh

Daro'Xen was instrumental to the success of Operation Scalpel. David Anderson initially contacted her for help for safely extracting Commander Shepard from the fallen Reaper, just after the end of the Reaper War. Xen used a geth "sheepdog" program to condense what appeared to be Shepard's consciousness from a dispersed set of life signs throughout the ship to a localized area in and around Shepard's comatose body.

In late May 2187, following the return of the Tali along with the rest of the *Normandy* crew after reactivating two Mass Relays to return to Earth, Xen and Han'Gerrel made the argument that the technology Tali used to disguise the Normandy as a Mass Relay and the signal to reactivate the shut down ones should be consisted a Migrant Fleet state secret. Their logic was the quarian people needed every bargaining chip at their disposal in the post-war environment, but Tali'Zorah was able to make Xen and Gerrel reconsider due to the dire food crisis facing everyone stuck on Earth. Xen and the rest of the Admiralty Board was critical in assisting in the creation of the Reactivation Fleet.

In February 2188 Xen testified during Shepard's trial to her assistance in extracting Shepard from the fallen Reaper. Prosecutor Lincoln requested that Xen clarify what she meant by "whatever was running on the Reaper mainframe", going on to question that 'whatever' might not have been Shepard at all. Xen testified that she did not know at the time, and Reaper technology is far beyond her own understanding, it was possible that what she saw was not the Commander. Defense Council Pearce asked Xen what her opinion was, and Xen replied with confidence that the woman seated at the defense table was Captain Shepard vas Normandy- the processes in the program did not resemble geth, or reaper code- they branched in ways that traditional AI programming does not. The program more closely resembled organic minds.
