"Yeah, so I'm a totally stereotypical grunt (No, not -that- Grunt, that Grunt is still awesome) with absolutely no aptitude for machinery (vide Rannoch AD turret interaction), yet I'm maintaining the weapons aboard the ship. I'm also so bulky my biceps have their own biceps, I have lots of tattoos, and my character class and loadout is just human version of Grunt's. I even charge people up-close."

So yeah. I still don't see how the guy was "supposed to reflect a perspective of a new player coming to the franchise". He knows about Shepard and what he did, the Collectors and all that, so he's not really new or even misinformed. He's just there as a meat shield on steroids, with character only slightly deeper than Mr. But-the-prize.

Give me an actual krogan.
