Charn

Charn
Charn is Balek's Second-In-Command on the attack of Asteroid X57.

Originally, Charn and his underlings were signed onto for a quick and effective slave-raid, but the arrival of Balek changed the entire mission. Dispite harboring negative feelings and rebellious, Charn is found guarding the final Fusion Torch as the last line of defence. Charn, however, wants nothing more to do with this mission and only want's to leave. His fear of Balek 'Skinning him alive out of spite', however, keeps him on the asteroid to face down Shepard and his/her crew. When Charn confronts Shepard and the crew, he tells Shepard 'This doesn't have to end in bloodshed' and trys to negotiate.

Shepard can convince Charn to leave the asteroid peacefully, under the promise that Balek will be eliminated. To that extent, Charn agree's quickly and provides Shepard with the means to get to Balek.

Or

Shepard can attack Charn and take what he needs.
