The thing is that the Protheans were deemed extinct in ME and more or less confirmed with the Collectors in ME2 (being heavily-modified Protheans). But now there's this DLC which seemingly provides a deus-ex-machina for the plot. Now you have a Prothean who somehow survived the genocide by the Reapers 50,000 years prior. The only way this would completely work is if the DLC simply makes the character a squadmate, though the character would really appear in the main game; similar to what BioWare did with Liara in ME2.
