Trish is a former asari commando and a veteran from the frontlines of the Reaper War on Thessia. Her years as a masterful tactician in the art of war show themselves in her role as the Dashers’ XO. A close friend of Declan Callaway’s since their first meeting at a ravaged Citadel following the war’s close, she has always been the calm and collected counter-weight to the captain’s more… rash decision-making habits. In fact, she had originally advised [i]against[/i] forming a pirate crew when Declan met Zik, but she eventually found herself dragged into the mess nonetheless. Declan picked the missions, Zik called the shots on combat operations, and Trish did her best to keep things from falling apart.

Before her time with the Dashers, during her years as an elite soldier of the asari military, Trish’s skills came to light as her unit’s central pillar to almost any operation. Her mastery of technical armaments and equipment, combined with the naturally powerful biotics expected of her occupation, allowed her the ability to keep her comrades alive and in the fight, while also clearing the field of nuisances by using tactical diversions whenever possible. By modern military classification standards, she was her unit’s sentinel.

One hundred years before the Reaper War, Trish, among two others from her unit, was recommended for the Special Tactics and Reconnaissance (Spectre) program. During the observation phase of the aptitude assessment, where Spectre candidates are partnered with an accomplished Spectre for an actual assignment, it was noted by her partner that her keen eye for the totality of any situation never wavers under pressure. She’s able to recognize when something isn’t right, even from the slightest clues. It goes without saying that the Spectre accompanying her returned with complimentary praise for the Council, which influenced them to grant her the commission. However… for reasons unknown, Trish turned down the opportunity. She remained an elite soldier of her people’s military up until the end of the war.

Personality-wise, Rayana is socially detached from most of the crew. She’s not cold, so to speak; but, rather, professional with her relationships. With two hundred years of rigid military posturing ingrained in her, certain mannerisms are hard to let go of. Besides, there’s a good reason why those in her position ought to put space between those they work with. Becoming too friendly with people stuck in a cramped vessel for months-on-end can lead to disastrous consequences when situations arise. Nevertheless, she is probably one of the most approachable individuals among the Dashers. As long as she’s shown respect, Trishar Rayana will back you up to the bitter end.
