What They Know

• First human to complete the N7 Special Forces program at Arcturus Station; first human considered for Spectre status — Saren sabotaged his candidacy
• Commanded the SSV Normandy SR-1 at the start of ME1; gave up his command to Shepard when the Spectre induction required it, knowing what it cost him
• Has a personal file on Saren Arterius that is twenty years old and was closed without resolution; opened it again when Shepard's evidence arrived
• Served in the First Contact War against the turians; his record of that war informs his understanding of alien relations, which is more nuanced than most Alliance officers
• Elected to the Citadel Council's human seat briefly; resigned when he understood what the Council was and wasn't willing to do about the Reapers
