The one thing I've read that makes the most sense is that we all are using the Exo starting scene as opposed to each races unique starting experience. #conspiracies #illuminati #ermagherd

You've been dead hundreds of years plus the awoken on the reef have a way different set of ideals and beliefs then the ones on earth which is where your character is from. Plus if you're male then it makes more sense since the reefs awoken see females as higher up then males. The queens brother is just up there because he's her brother.

Also your character has been dead for hundreds of years and we dont know what the awoken and human ties were like when the character was alive

I imagine it's like an African-American going to Africa for the first time. Or a Caucasian-American going to Europe for the first time.

Two answers, 1. At some point a few awoken came back to earth to fight and their decendants (us) share no real ties with those that stayed in the reef nor do they know much about them. ( I believe this is stated somewhere in the grimoire cards) While this does make sense and answers a few things, I feel it leaves a lot to be desired and still makes your character out to be an idiot in the game. I believe the real answer to your question is the theory that....... 2. There was supposed to be three different version of the intro and reef sequence; one for each race. I really do believe this as it would make so much more sense.
