Jarun Tann is a salarian politician, who plays a prominent role in the Andromeda Initiative's efforts to establish a government in the new galaxy, though his actual competence as an administrator may be called into question. He is described as meaning well, "but also likes power, and plays up his own effectiveness and importance". The Pathfinder may find themselves navigating the moral shades of grey the "Mass Effect" series is known for in their dealings with Jarun. He also appears in the tie-in novel to "Andromeda", "Mass Effect Andromeda: Nexus Uprising", where he is portrayed as the central character of the uprising led by former security chief Sloane Kelly at the Nexus. Ben Gilbert from "Business Insider" mentioned Tann as an example of the best aspects of the "Mass Effect" series: characters "who respond in realistic ways, who are just as likely to be honest as they are to be manipulative".
