Lieutenant Kurin

Lieutenant Kurin is an asari that appears in Mass Effect 3. Commander Shepard meets Kurin while attempting to recover a Prothean artifact on Thessia.

Lieutenant Kurin's orders are to hold a barricade against Reaper forces on Thessia. She is more concerned about the possible loses of her squad than following her orders. At first, she is resistant to Shepard's request to continue past the barrier due to possible loses, but Liara steps in and convinces her that there is too much on the line to worry about the possible risks. Alternately, if Javik is present, he approached her and reads her biology through touch. He reveals that Kurin comes from the lineage of skilled warriors, but grows tired and disillusioned as the fighting goes on. Either way, Kurin is convinced Shepard's mission is of dire importance and chooses to aid the Commander in making it to the temple.

At the end of the mission, Kurin attempts to radio Shepard to make sure they made it to the temple and procured the relic. Before Shepard can respond, a Reaper lands off in the distance, near Kurin's location. She is presumed to be KIA.
