Talk:Kai Leng

I think the merc on the GameInformer article, with the black hair, tattoos and cybernetic upgrades is Kai Leng. The picture is in the Know Your Enemy section IIRC, and it wouldn't make sense for a no-nonsense Alliance soldier like James to dress like that (unless he was undercover in a merc unit, which I don't think is likely).--Darth Something 14:50, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * So you have a source for that as it could be a lot of things? It is a possibility but for the image to go here, we would need confirmation. If we want to specualate about who is in the image, then take it to the forums or a blog post as that isn't what a talk page is for. Lancer1289 15:57, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Confirmed for ME3
According to the following:

http://www.gamer.nl/nieuws/67817/mass-effect-3-wordt-moeilijker

Kai Leng is the one ultimately sent to kill Shepard. The article is written in Dutch. Translating the relevant part using Google Translator yields this:

'' A character by that which Shepard has to deal with conflict is Kai Ling, an assassin with an aversion to aliens. He was previously addressed in Mass Effect: Retribution, the third book on the Mass Effect universe.''

So, should we add it? Or wait for an English source? -- Fiery Phoenix 18:53, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would wait for an English source and another source altogether. I'm not entirely convinced that is a reliable source to begin with. Lancer1289 18:56, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * To be honest, Kai Leng in ME3 is anything but a stretch. I almost took it as a given that he would appear in one form or another. But I agree that we should wait for an English source to settle this. -- Fiery Phoenix 19:03, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not to mention that Google translators or Tradukka (which I sometimes use), have some flaws and don't appropriately translate certain terms, leaving some in the original language. Literary devices are also not picked up by the software (like idioms) in the exact way they are meant to be translated, and so an actual English source privy to the information is needed.
