Samara

Samara is an asari, and a new squad member in Mass Effect 2. Very little has been revealed about her thus far, other than the fact that she is apparently very willing to join Commander Shepard's team.

Judging from her trailer, she is a powerful biotic and moves gracefully when in battle. Her battle tendencies lean towards extreme, yet effective. It is likely that she is able to be recruited on Illium. She wears a fitted suit that has a low v-neck, along with peculiar head gear.

According to a Hands-On review from Gamespot, Shepard first hears Samara at Illium, where she has developed a reputation as a Justicator - someone who operates strictly outside of the government's rule - and is known for her ruthless efficiency at bringing down the scum of the universe. Shepard speaks to a Pitne For, a volus merchant, who avoids questions regarding Samara. Shepard then speaks to an asari police officer, who points them in the direction of a local mercenary hideout. They arrive and find Samara brutally interrogating a merc, who she ends up killing and is then arrested for it. Shepard manages to chat with Samara briefly, who tells them to find out more information on the mercenary group and to track down the ship that had the person of her interest aboard. For where to get some leads, she sends them to Pitne For. Shepard handles the mercs, finds the target, and has Samara freed. It is then that Samara offers herself to them, knowing her biotic abilities will be a valuable asset to their mission.
