The Shaman is a krogan residing on Tuchanka at the Urdnot Camp. He is in charge of the Urdnot Clan's rites.

Despite being responsible for keeping krogan traditions alive, the Shaman is nonetheless irritated by the ostensibly traditionalist Gatatog Uvenk's complaints about the tank bred Grunt. The Shaman allows the young krogan to perform the Rite of Passage over Uvenk's objections. If Commander Shepard taunts Uvenk for using politics rather than fight to achieve his ends, the Shaman praises the Commander for undermining Uvenk's position by using words, Uvenk's "natural weapon". However, if Shepard is more aggressive and goes as far as to headbutt Uvenk in krogan fashion, the Shaman is particularly amused, believing the Commander understands krogan ideals better than "those who whine like pups".

After the rite is complete, Shepard can talk to the Shaman about himself. He admits he went through many rites to become shaman, including giving up his name. He claims the rites he underwent were so physically and mentally torturous that they made him wish he were dead, and other rites must be performed every dawn and dusk. If Grunt is in the party, he comments that the Shaman's job is terrible, to which he agrees.

Also, after completing the Rite of Passage for Grunt, Shepard can return to speak with the Shaman again and tell him stories from Shepard's past battles with worthy enemies, including how Shepard stopped Saren and also a Reaper invading the Citadel. The Shaman is apparently aware of and respects the combat prowess of the Spectres.
