Anthony "Tony" Mariano Shepard (February 14, 213X –) is a human biotic marine, N7, and the first human SPECTRE; notable first and foremost for his involvement in the Reaper War. Shepard's name is one of those that is all but synonymous with the Reaper conflict, chiefly due to his pivotal role within galactic politics during the War itself, and his hand in the ground operation that decimated the Reaper assault and disabled most of the galaxy's mass relays.
She was almost related by marriage to Anthony Shepard. She had decided to also legally change her name to Mariano after her youngest brother married him; however, her brother died on Akuze before it could happen.
In the Milky Way timeline, Fiona stays on Omega and keeps her surname intact, so that she and Anthony appear related. In the Andromeda timeline, Fiona leaves the galaxy as part of the Initiative and registers using Anthony's original surname of Mariano. She is estranged from her family and considers Anthony her only living relative.
