* Adaptational Badass: He has a cybernetic arm and an eyepatch. The first time we hear him, he humiliates the Batarian ambassador in front of the Council with very little effort. His first proper introduction involves him killing what is effectively a boss by uppercutting him into the air, followed by nailing him dead-center in the chest with a Torgue pistol, while said enemy is still falling.

Also, after every mission he walks around in the ship and stops to stare at everyone for a second, as though he's looking for a sign that he should ask them a questions.//

And then there are those really awkward pauses where he spaces out and stares at you for a minute or two for no apparent reason.//
