About
Legion is the name given by EDI to the gestalt consciousness formed by the 1,183 geth programs, as well as the "mobile platform" they reside in. It is a recruitable party member in Mass Effect 2.Legion is a unique geth mobile platform, designed to operate outside the Perseus Veil and interact with organics directly. To that purpose, it houses 1,183 geth programs, as opposed to the one hundred or so in other platforms, enabling it to operate independently and speak. It was created and dispatched following Commander Shepard's destruction of the Old Machine "Nazara", known to the rest of the galaxy as the Reaper Sovereign, investigating several of the worlds Shepard visited. Eventually it finds the Normandy crash site on the planet Alchera, salvaging a piece of Shepard's N7 armor and incorporating it into itself to repair damage sustained on Eden Prime after being shot by Alliance soldiers, though it is unable or unwilling to say why it waited that long or why it used Shepard's armor specifically.
Legion is encountered during the events of Mass Effect 2 while searching for the IFF on the derelict Reaper. It is surprised to find Commander Shepard (to whom it refers as Shepard-Commander) alive, but assists Shepard's team against the husks roaming the dead ship. Eventually, it is knocked out by a husk while opening the way for them to reach the ship's mass effect core. If recovered, it can be sold to Cerberus for research (as intact geth are hard to come by), or brought aboard the SSV Normandy SR-2 and stored under guard in the ship's A.I. Core room. It can then be reactivated, at which point it will join Shepard's team.

*Can't stand another second of being near the geth. Wishes Shepard had never brought the geth onboard in the first place.*
... I-I... *Doesn't know how to answer that. Is starting to think that maybe, just maybe, her judgement of the geth might be unwarranted. Shakes her head.*
I don't have a simple answer for you, Legion.
*Narrows her eyes at him.* And you will have to earn my trust.
*Goes a little quiet. Remembers she's on a ship that is now controlled by an AI... Decides to ease-up on the anti-synthetic sentiment a bit.*
Really? Was driving us off of our homeworld something that any other sapient race would do? stare
No. You're wrong. Your kind started it, not mine. stressed That's why it's called the Geth Rebellion.
>___> It's not as if I'm going to stab you in the cortex in the middle of a fight, Legion. But beyond fighting... I don't have to agree with or even cooperate with you. *Crosses her arms.*
