From the outside looking in, the Hanar don’t seem all too threatening. Sure, you wouldn’t want to get stung accidentally by one of their floating jellyfish tentacles, and one of their sermons about the Enkindlers might bore you to death, but they are an otherwise docile race. 

That is until you meet the Man o’ War known as Blasto. Whether it is in Blasto the Jellyfish Stings, Blasto Saves Christmas, or Blasto 6: Partners in Crime, this Hanar actor is known for putting on quite the intimidating performance. 

Every time they are on the screen, the Hanar is either roasting bad guys with impressive action moves or cool one-liners like “enkindle this.”

All of this doesn’t even factor in Blasto’s right-hand Man, Bubin, a gruff veteran Elcor C-Sec cop with just three solar days left until retirement. The pair’s good cop and bad cop routine is so good that they’d likely be able to talk the Reapers down with one interrogation scene, easy peasy.
