Commander Shepard has to assemble the nastiest and deadliest cast of characters around him if he — and the rest of human civilization — is to have a chance at finding out why his race is disappearing inMass Effect 2.

Grunt is described as an erratic Krogan whoneverfelt defeat. Like Wrex, Grunt is billed as a strong fighter with a mean streak. The official release questions his loyalty, which we’ll take as a good thing. Grunt is like the Wrex we’ll never have — but we may see — in the nextMass Effect.
