Cleaning blitz. Updated on 17 May 2021 BioWare has changed a Mass Effect character's race from human to turian - fixing a long-standing issue many (correctly) assumed was a bug. THERE MAY BE MASS EFFECT 1 SPOILERS AHEAD. Elanos Haliat, a human-hating pirate and previous leader of the Terminus Systems, appears in Mass Effect 1 on the world of Agebinium. Shepard encounters him when investigating a mysterious nuclear probe which needs to be defused. Haliat has a history - he organised the attack on the human colony named Elysium prior to the events of the trilogy. This attack, named the Skyllian Blitz, is frequently referenced in the series.
