Space frogs don’t get much harder than Mass Effect 2’s Thane. Instead of spending his days croaking on intergalactic Lilly pads, this green dude kills and destroys with the slick and greasy precision of a professional. He’s an assassin, apparently one of the galaxy’s best. And he can be recruited into your ME2 suicide squad.
Thane seems like an odd bird -- dude says he sometimes feels remorse for what he does, but most of the time he feels “nothing.” Sounds like he’s a borderline sociopath, right? We're not exactly sure if space frogs can be deranged, so we won't judge the man-beast quite yet. But our years of watching Dexter has us on alert.
Gotta say, Thane's looking pretty badass, if a bit one-dimensional right now. If I get a chance to learn more about him and who he is as a character, he might end up being a permanent part of my party...assuming Garrus doesn't join. No one beats Garrus.
@spotlight 51- Frog would win by default. He cut a cliff in half with a sword. Even a neck-snapping space frog can't beat that.
From what I herd your selected crew may not get along with each other. From what I've seen of the various characters I can imagine a certain degree of infighting. It will be interesting to see how this comes about ingame.
See, if you felt remorse for killing, how can you be an assassin?? So, if you are a top assassin, it goes without saying doesn't it?! This video is just there to show us that the nerdy looking frogman is serious business. Its fail character design explaining itself.

Nice trailer, makes me wish Borderlands didn't come out while I was trying to finish Mass Effect.
Kind of like Sten.
LOL, I hated Sten and never used him, but Thane looks pretty bad ass.
@spotlight 51: he'd lose frog is the best rpg character ever, and always will be
Thane Dissaproves (-20)
So, uh, what happened to Liara guys? Hm? Kinda wanna know. Don't care if she's in the party. I just really wanna know.
In the preview Anthony wrote he said that Liara had wandered off and was working for some shadowy company.
