Mass Effect 2 screenshots focus on new teammate for Shepard

Click above to see this character with a very-much-alive Shepard.

Hey you, have we met before? BioWare has updated the Mass Effect 2 website with a few new screenshots, and we can't help but notice this green character unmentioned in the first game. Clearly he (she? it?) is of some importance, as BioWare has decided to showcase the character in not one, or two, or three or four screenshots -- but five. (Update: Readers have pointed out this character can be seen in this video and is named Thane.)

This screen also shows a Krogan teammate, which we're assuming is Wrex because we totally didn't shoot him in the face.
