User blog comment:Aleksandr the Great/Prothean Squadmate is Officially DLC/@comment-1440333-20120223192334/@comment-1655340-20120223213549

Someone made the comment in the announcement forum that Michael was very specific with his words, stating that we were getting a new squad-mate, not a new character, so I'm still holding out hope.

However, from what I remember, don't you find Javik (the name that a few of the BSN members are using, I think because it's the name that's used for the Prothean's audio files) on Eden Prime? If so, since EP is a part of "From Ashes", how would you find him otherwise unless there are two different missions, and maybe the DLC one is going back?
