WREX
{
Urdnot Wrex is a fictional character in BioWare's Mass Effect franchise, who serves as a party member (or "squadmate") in the first game of the Mass Effect trilogy. He is a krogan, an alien race near-sterilised by other galactic races for their violence and high population growth. Introduced as an experienced krogan mercenary, his role changes in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 where he becomes leader of an expanding krogan clan and eventual head of state for the krogan as a whole. After over 1000 years of aimless apathy, Wrex seeks to bring back hope to his people and reverse their fate by undoing the genophage. He is voiced by Steven Barr.
Wrex was given a "splash" of red color and scars to distinguish him from other individuals of his species. The scars further stress his combat experience. His stand-off with the player-character was presented as an example of Mass Effect's cinematography. The character will appear in the second and third games if the player imports a savegame where Wrex survives a stand-off with the player character, Commander Shepard. In the Citadel downloadable content for the third game, he is available as a guest squadmate for the DLC's duration. In addition to the games, he is the star of the Mass Effect: Foundation comic series' second issue. Merchandise of the character has also been made available.
The character was positively received, with praise going to his humour and writing. His stand-off with Shepard in the first game drew attention and commentary from video game journalists.
