I noticed him as well, was kind of hoping he was part of a quest or something.
No clue who it is and he doesn't seem to do anything.
Makes me a bit weary though when sitting in the captains chair, I always get the feeling that this guy thaws out when I'm not looking or when I sleep and tries to take over the ship or something, murdering everyone on board
Hey BIOWARE: That would make for a great storyline, a previous owner coming to reclaim his ship! Lol hint hint
