[@SgtEasy] Strangely I always considered Balak to be Shepard's true rival. Sure Shepard fights villains, but they never seem to last more than a single game. Saren, The Collectors, Harbinger. But Balak lasts the entire series.

And the best part is that Balak is not some big evil force to be defeated. He's just a soldier fighting for his people like Shepard. Balak, for me at least, is like the anti-Shepard.

Which is great isn't it? His brother, unknown of most of Citadel space but feared as a boogeyman of the Hegemony, now working to unite the races with a spectre. 

Balak, and in extension, the Batarians as a whole, were mostly dismissed as barbarians and brutes of the worst kind. The regular mook villains of the galaxy. With this character I hope to shine more light on a potentially culture rich society that was never really explored in ME.

Edit: I love his relationship with Shepard XD
