My idea is that since he knows everything about shields. He gives you 10 local shields on defense.
I don't mean to be rude, but I completely disagree with what you said.
One can argue about whether or not being able to drop shields while captured matches his "character." That is almost a personal thing. I think it matches well because it is still infiltrating in a sense, and it works well with how people use the infiltrator.
Additionally, you say it is a bad idea because it doesn't match his character, while your idea completely undergoes the whole character of the infiltrator. In the flavor text of the character, it hardly makes sense. Being an infiltrator has nothing to do with knowing shields. It is like asking a bomber to help build a house because in order to blow it up they have to know everything about it.
Secondly, it betrays the playstyle "character" of the infiltrator. As of now, the infiltrator is a purely offensive specialist that only works while attacking. Giving him defense would completely flip how you are supposed to use him. Additionally, you aren't really balancing him by now making both below average attacking and below average defending.
Zyxe? Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time.
