The Awakened Collector is a playable character type in Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode, made available in the game's Reckoning DLC. According to its in-game character bio, a small number of Collectors were severed from Harbinger's control by the Leviathans when they joined the war effort against the Reapers. The Awakened Collector's class is Adept, thus it specializes in the use of biotic powers in combat.
Biography[]
When the Reaper-killer known as Leviathan fought the Collectors, it severed their connection to Harbinger with a thrall device. Most Collector forces died as a result, but a few survived. Now, these rare individuals fight for the memory of their people, a proud race broken by the Reapers.
Protheans appointed avatars to embody and model a single virtue for their society. The Awakened Collectors' virtue is vengeance.
