To celebrate hitting 10,000 followers, Mass Effect 3‘s Executive Producer Casey Hudson tweeted the above picture of James Vega, a human Systems Alliance soldier and Commander Shepard’s newest compatriot. According to the May 2011 issue of Game Informer, Vega is meant to embody the mindset of a new player entering the franchise: capable as a soldier, but unacclimated to the delicate and often deadly inner-workings of galactic politics.

Beyond that, not much else is known about Vega, how he’ll fit into the series’ spiderweb of emotional character interaction, or what’s happened to his porcelain mask and claws.
