Lieutenant Durand

Lt. Marie Durand is in charge of the 10th Frontier Division on Nepmos. She sends a mayday asking for assistance when she and her men are attacked by hostile lifeforms.

After landing on Nepmos, Commander Shepard meets Durand at the listening post. She's tough-talking but exhausted after hour upon hour of sustained attacks by rachni. To Durand, it doesn't matter that these 'animals' are actually a sentient species, they're still extremely dangerous. She co-ordinates her remaining people and holds the line with the help of Shepard's team.

After they fight off several waves of attackers, Durand receives word of the main rachni nest deep underground, though she is reluctant to send Shepard to clear it out alone. If they haven't been there already, Durand also asks Shepard to check the other listening post in the Acheron system, because they've dropped out of contact. Shepard can also tell Durand about Depot Sigma-23 if it has been investigated already.

Lt. Durand is voiced by Grey DeLisle.
