it was announced awhile ago the illusive man will get his own mini series in the vein of redemption taking place during the first contact war with humans and turians. piecing some bits of info i remember saren lost someone during first contact and i can guess/hope the illusive man had some involvement. any other ideas for what the illusive man was doing during the war?

I could be wrong but I don't think there's a whole lot we can really assume about the Illusive Man's past, he's a character that's meant to be very mysterious.

I read the Redemption stuff and it was great, looking forward to this too
 
It could be really interesting to read about The First Contact war and about the Illusive man's past, aslo, does anyone else think a prequel game taking place during the first contact war could be interesting? Shine some light on how humanity joined the galactic community?

I wish I could have pulled a gun and shot the "illusive man" in the face, with his brains dripping out, at which point I'd turn round and state "not so illusive now" and walk away.
