Kendo Holin is a freelancer salarian tech specialist recruited by Zaeed Massani in his mission to bring down the Verrikan. According to Zaeed, Kendo Holin is a sadistic bastard smart enough not to antagonize people who pay him. The salarian is in the middle of torturing a human with an omni-tool when Zaeed comes up to him with the lucrative proposal involving the Verrikan. Holin expresses interest but requests Zaeed to wait while he finishes his "project" first.
