User blog comment:Aleksandr the Great/Prothean Squadmate is Officially DLC/@comment-1388547-20120222042938

Huh. I'm almost less disappointed that they're charging for it, than that having it be DLC means that the character can't be very integral to the story. They're missing out on a lot of plot possibilities by not having the Prothean be a required character that is part of the core game.
