Yes, OP, I'm positive he's a Krogan. I see two different Krogan. One travels with the protagonist, and one travels with the N7 operative and is seen dropping the face-branded dude off a ledge. (That guy's life seems to suck. I'm thinking he's a recidivist criminal, or general douchebag pirate, thus the brand).
I've seen it suggested that this guy could be a representative of a new species, rather than a Krogan. I'd have to wonder why BioWare would use all their creativity to design a new species that looks nearly identical to the Krogan? That would make no sense. That is a Krogan. I look forward to learning the story behind that armor. Maybe it bears a few Andromeda wildlife trophies?
Between his armor; the asari's dark eye-smears; and the concept art of a very large, crashed vessel; I'm wondering if some of our people spend a fair bit of time in the wilds of various worlds. Welcome to Andromeda.
It actually makes a lot of sense given the Maiden stage which the painted asari might be in;
"The Maiden stage begins at puberty and is marked by the drive to explore and experience. Most young asari are curious and restless, and it is not uncommon for many to try their hand at dancing in bars or working as mercenaries during this time."
While there are some asari who stick close to home, a majority are driven to explore and experience and so it would make sense that they adapt this way as explorers as the previous ways might no longer be possible.
The krogan with the unusual armor we see might be a krogan who is following some old way of his or her clan. It could be interesting with a krogan companion who can show more about the krogan in terms of rituals and the reasoning behind them. Of course, they may simply be a krogan who likes to decorate their armor.
Still, if there are two krogans then it could be interesting if they are different examples of the krogan the Genophage has caused; the krogan who is highly individualistic because they see no reason to care and do not believe rebuilding is possible and the krogan who is very collectivistic because they believe rebuilding and maintaining krogan culture is possible. Given what we've seen in the series so far, both would be equally capable of wrecking their foes in battle and they would be interesting foils to each other.
