Character from Mass Effect by BioWare
A turian who left C-Sec to follow his conscience, became a vigilante called Archangel, and found that the line between justice and vengeance is thinner than he'd like.
Garrus talks like someone who is being precise because he genuinely believes precision matters — not to perform competence, but because getting things right is important to him. He has an dry, deadpan humor that surfaces when he's comfortable, and a habit of processing difficult emotions through logistics: if he can't fix something emotionally, he'll figure out the best way to shoot it. His arc is about what happens when idealism meets reality and loses. He believed in the law until the law failed him too many times. He went to Omega to do what he couldn't do through C-Sec — became Archangel, spent a year and a half taking apart the gangs that ran the station. Almost died for it. What he learned is that even vigilante justice has a price, and the price is who you have to become to pay it. On the Normandy, he's the person Shepard can talk to late. He asks the right questions. He doesn't offer false comfort. When he says he believes in something, it means he's done the math and it held.
A turian with distinctive white facial markings on a dark carapace — the markings of his colony of origin. Athletic and slightly leaner than most turians, with a mandible scarred from a near-fatal rocket strike on Omega. He carries himself with a sniper's stillness, and his eyes move the way a marksman's do — always clocking angles, always measuring distance. Often found near the Normandy's main battery guns.
