- After the early experiments found that Humans couldn't function with machines in their brains, Lazarus began using subjects on the verge of death such as accident victims, wounded soldiers and coma patients. The running theory was to hardwire the subject's brain with a computer intelligence that kept the brain functional while the body was surgically repaired. After this a telepathic deep-scan would fixate the subject on the moment of their death, shutting down all conscious thought and allowing the computer to exert complete control while the subconscious is dying over and over again. The computer's power crystal emits a low level of a benign ironium radiation that, while not normally detectable by nominally configured environmental scanners, could be used to track a Lazarus subject.

| - After the early experiments found that Humans couldn't function with machines in their brains, Lazarus began using subjects on the verge of death such as accident victims, wounded soldiers and coma patients. The running theory was to hardwire the subject's brain with a computer intelligence that kept the brain functional while the body was surgically repaired. After this a telepathic deep-scan would fixate the subject on the moment of their death, shutting down all conscious thought and allowing the computer to exert complete control while the subconscious is dying over and over again. The computer's power crystal emits a low level of a benign ironium radiation that, while not normally detectable by nominally configured environmental scanners, could be used to track a Lazarus subject. Officially the project was shut down in 2239, but was secretly continued by the clandestine Bureau 13. In 2258 Abel Horn's body was recovered following his death during the Mars Rebellion. Thirteen oversaw his "recruitment" into Project Lazarus and in March 2259 she coordinated with Control to smuggle Horn onto Babylon 5 to assassinate FutureCorp chief executive Taro Isogi and Mars Provisional Government representative Amanda Carter before travelling to Mars to cripple Free Mars from the inside. Isogi was successfully terminated but the Unit was unable to complete the mission and was destroyed before it could leave the station for Mars.
- When Commander Shepard was killed in a Collector attack that also resulted in the destruction of the SSV Normandy, Cerberus was able to recover Shepard's corpse with the help of Liara T'Soni. The Illusive Man created and funded the Lazarus Project, pouring virtually unlimited resources into the belief that only Shepard could stop the Reaper threat to humanity as the Council stood idly by. The exorbitant project took 2 years and over 4 billion credits to complete. Undertaken by the Lazarus Cell, which was headed by Miranda Lawson and her assistant Wilson, it involved attaching cybernetic implants to reconstruct the Commander's skeleton, reconstruction of the skin, and fluids to restart the blood flow and internal organs. The one thing that the Illusive Man refused to do was implant a control chip in the Commander's brain, fearing that it may affect Shepard's personality and abilities. As part of the project, Shepard underwent facial reconstruction and partially lost prior abilities and talents. The project proves to be a success in 2185 when Shepard manages to regain full neurological activity. When there was an attempt to steal Commander Shepard's identity in 2186, the Commander tracked down the person behind the scheme and discovered it was none other than a clone created by Cerberus. The clone was kept a secret, intended to be used for spare organs and other body parts over the course of the true Shepard's revival through the Lazarus Project, but it was never utilized and remained in storage. It was awakened by disillusioned ex-Cerberus operative Maya Brooks six months before the Reaper invasion, and Brooks convinced it to kill and assume the identity of the original Shepard in order to pursue a pro-human agenda. Shepard stopped the clone from escaping the Citadel with the Normandy SR-2. The clone is killed, and Brooks is either captured or killed. During the assault on Cronos Station near the close of the war against the Reapers, some Project Lazarus records are discovered within the station. They affirm Miranda Lawson's claims that Shepard was reconstructed without genetic or neural tampering per the Illusive Man's wishes.
