Douglas Einarson

Private Douglas Einarson is a medic working under First Lieutenant Karissa Skyler. He is notable for being the person who found the crashed Reaper from which Commander Shepard was rescued. He has described himself as a "medic who plays with tech in his spare time".
=== Early Life ===
Douglas was best friends with Chris (no last name given), and they attended primary school together in Birmingham. Later, he trained in university to be a medic and was inspired by Commander Shepard's victory at the Battle of the Citadel to join the Alliance.
=== Everyone That Asketh ===
In the aftermath of the Battle of London, Douglas got permission to mourn the death his friend Chris while the rest of his unit were taking a break. While scanning the horizon, he discovered the crater from the crashed Reaper. He had scanned the ship with his omni-tool and discovered a signal coming from the wreckage before running back to report. 
Together with their tech, Corporal Willemer they managed to clear up the signal but were still getting diffused readings. Admiral David Anderson recommended trying to isolate a signal spike in the data and were able to locate a KIA signal that eventually led them to the location of Commander Shepard's living body inside the Reaper.
While on watch three days after finding her, Douglas accidently allowed his head to brush the Commander's while fighting to keep awake and was given a vision- first of enormous danger and death, and then of life and hope. He would later describe it as "it was like the Commander was telling me everything would be okay, sir. The danger was gone and we were all safe. We could live now, however we wanted to. Life won". He slept for several hours and awoke refreshed, though he felt guilty for falling asleep. His state of feeling "zen" inspired Anderson to reach out to the quarian Admiral Daro'Xen. He assisted Anderson, Xen, and Willemer in carefully cutting the commander out of the Reaper, making sure to limit their torches to parts that were not emitting the signal that seemed to be "Shepard".
He was one of a number of witnesses called regarding "Operation Scalpel" during the grand jury trial to attempt to charge Shepard with treason.
