Scott Ryder

Scott Ryder is a fictional character and the male protagonist of the video game Mass Effect: Andromeda. The son of Alec Ryder, Scott signed up with the Andromeda Initiative together with his father and twin sister Sara, obtaining a part in the Pathfinder team chosen to find humanity a home in the distant Andromeda galaxy 600 years into the future. His father Alec was supposed to be humanity's Pathfinder, but the title is unexpectedly passed on to Scott after Alec's mysterious disappearance.

The protagonist of Mass Effect: Andromeda is, depending on player choice, either Scott or Sara Ryder. Both Ryder twins are inexperienced recruits who remain a part of the game's plot even if they are not selected as the main character.
