Commander Shepard has to assemble the nastiest and deadliest cast of characters around him if he — and the rest of human civilization — is to have a chance at finding out why his race is disappearing in Mass Effect 2. The faceless assassin Thane is one of these characters. Add Grunt to the sure-to-be-growing list.
Grunt is described as an erratic Krogan who never felt defeat. Like Wrex, Grunt is billed as a strong fighter with a mean streak. The official release questions his loyalty, which we’ll take as a good thing. Grunt is like the Wrex we’ll never have — but we may see — in the next Mass Effect.
Below in the gallery are five fresh screenshots of the alien toad. In addition to his youthful glow, notice how sharp the follow-up is looking. We’re excited; confirmed.
