The reapers from Mass effect. Technically through the entire series, you only actually kill 3 until the very end. One in the first game, two in the third game. Nobody else kills any reapers. I guess you could technically say you killed a fourth, if the human reaper hybrid counts. But you pretty much killed that thing with machine guns so no.

Definitely reapers.

But they're just tools fullfilling commands?

That's where things get kind of iffy. The original reaper was an a.i. the original reapers where are those giant floating head tentacle things that show up in Mass effect 3 DLC. The reaper killer. They were all converted into the giant ships. Then we've got the protheans, who formed the majority of the reaper shock troops. And apparently when their troops get low they simply start converting the modern races. Like the big hulking things are the same species as the shadow broker.

and there are individual reapers that act independently. Saryn in the first game. That dopey yellow jerk in the second game. The illusive man in three.

They operate more as a kind of hive mind. They are living and they appear to be able to take independent action while under command of a Central intelligence.

History has always taught the Reapers organics and synthetics will always wage war unless united or the other was destroyed. The reapers acted on self preservation due to a solid frame of past references so it would seem. Not sure first strike tactics make them villains? The moral relativism of machine A.I. can't really be judged by organics from an organic perspective. The honey trap Citadel is warning to the Reapers organics are becoming a technological threat when they find it. The Reapers probably have a 99.95% probability rating the organic crap is going to hit the machine fan at that point.

Villainess self preservation ooh!?

Those from the DLC - Leviathans, they constructed the A.I. - Catalyst, who turned against them and truned most of them into Reapers. Reapers to Leviathans, are like Collectors to Protheans, mindless twisted husks. At least that's what comes from the talk with the Leviathan in the DLC
