Meet Kasumi

The above image shows a cloaked figure appearing to be a woman as the 12th and final Mass Effect 2 squad mate.  The image was supposedly taken from a debug PC version of the game.  Bioware was quick to pull the original forum post breaking the news, they have since admitted that Kasumi is a potential squad mate (although they are not releasing any details).

No word yet on what race the character is.  But if the screenshot is to be believed, she appears to be an engineer type class with AI Hacking and Overload as her primary abilities.  Guess there isn't really too much more time to wait before we see for ourselves.

Editor Update:  According to in game dialogue on Illium, Kasumi is a human thief currently wanted for for stealing priceless pieces of artwork and an omni-gel converter prototype.  How this ties into the game is your guess.
