Hey, Ayden, going to do ability ratings soon? :P

I'm tempted to say that some of the reasons for this decision would become more obvious during early play. For now, let's just note that the turian a) has little to no leadership experience to speak of (well, I'll have to check with Ampharos as to whether she ever led a team, but I'd assume an assassin her expertise was more in sneaking around and actual combat) and b) took part in an extremist anti-government conspiracy. Not really an improvement over putting a levelheaded krogan mercenary in charge. :P
