Line 724:
* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type]] [[Black and Grey Morality|IV]] or [[Sociopathic Hero|V]] in the original [[Your Mileage May Vary|depending on your view]]; {{spoiler|moves up the scale to [[Good Is Not Nice|Type III]] in the sequel if he survives.}}
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: He is a krogan, and thus tends to equate ass-kicking with respect. He may even [[Discussed Trope|discuss this]] with various other crewmembers, by asking them if they could beat Shepard in a fight <ref>Kaidan dismisses the question with how he'd realistically never have to fight his superior officer; Wrex decides that that's why Shepard is his superior officer, and why s/he would win. Tali asks if Krogan size up ''everyone'' for a fight, to which he replies yes.</ref>
** {{spoiler|In Mass Effect 2, assuming he survived the first game, he is in the process of reforming and uniting Krogan society through sheer force of personality (and ass kicking, when necessary).}}
{{quote|'''Wrex:''': {{spoiler|Speak when spoken to, [[Jerkass|Uvenk]]. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|I'll drag your clan to glory whether you like it or not]].}}}}
* [[Badass]]: {{spoiler|MOFO ICED A THRESHER MAW ON FOOT IN HIS RITE OF PASSAGE. A feat nobody else would pull for hundreds of years afterwards.<ref>Shepard can get in on doing that ''2''.</ref>}}
Line 746:
* [[Death Glare]]: Displays a great one in ''3'' when the Salarian Dalatrass insults the Krogan. The look on his face makes it clear that he wants nothing more than to pull out a shotgun and leave a large hole in the Normandy's bulkhead where she was standing.
** For bonus points, its done in close up, so you get to see just how pissed off Wrex is, taking up the ''entire screen''.
* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]: Betray him by sabotaging the genophage cure and he'll completely lose it. He'll withdraw krogan support, leave the galaxy to burn, and tries to gun you down with a shotgun to boot. As far as he's concerned, if his species is going to go extinct, humanity can join them.}}
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: In ME3, according to Eve, he's a bit... enthusiastic about fertile Krogan females.
** [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: On the other hand, he respects women a lot more than the average Krogan
Line 771:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: {{spoiler|Gives Shepard a very warm greeting as the krogan overlord. From a grizzled old cynic like him, that really means something. He even invites Grunt to be part of the clan. As warlord, he does everything in his power to aid his people, [[Good Is Not Nice|whether they like it or not]].}}
{{quote|'''Wrex:''' {{spoiler|Shepard! My friend!}}}}
** {{spoiler|1=Despite disliking salarians in general, he honestly comes to respect Mordin in ME3, affectionately nicknaming him "Pyjak."}}
** {{spoiler|After Mordin sacrifices himself to cure the genophage, Wrex says that he'll honour him by naming one of the newborn children after him. Maybe one of the girls.}}
* [[Just Eat Him]]: He's fond of using this to end arguments. It's generally effective at making people go away.
* [[Like an Old Married Couple]]: {{spoiler|His interaction with "Eve" in the third game.}}▼
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Possible in the first game, which has repercussions throughout the series. Also possible in the third game, if you sabotage the genophage cure: he'll find out and you'll have to blow him away on the Citadel.}}▼
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: He'll kill the local crime lord Fist after you get Fist at your mercy. Tali and potentially Shepard certainly don't disagree.
▲* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Possible in the first game, which has repercussions throughout the series. Also possible in the third game, if you sabotage the genophage cure: he'll find out and you'll have to blow him away on the Citadel.}}
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Yes, he does help save the galaxy and eventually becomes chieftain of Clan Urdnot but he's also as cynical as they come.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: He hits hard ''and'' fast.
▲* [[Like an Old Married Couple]]: {{spoiler|His interaction with "Eve" in the third game.}}
* [[Magic Knight]]: In addition to his substantial toughness and general combat skills, he's also a biotic.
* [[The McCoy]]: To Dalatrass Linron's [[The Spock]] and Primarch Adrien Victus's [[The Kirk]], in ''3''.
Line 814:
* [[Stop Being Stereotypical]]: Dislikes the self destructive violence of the other Krogans and is working to change it.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: What he thinks of anyone that goes up against Shepard. Which {{spoiler|makes you wonder what that says about ''him'' when he does this on Virmire. [[Played With]] in that he likely knew he had no chance at actually "winning" but was doing it as a matter of principle or honor rather than tactics. Thankfully, the player has three ways of talking him out of it.}}
** {{spoiler|The same logic also applies to his confrontation with Shepard in 3 if the cure is sabotaged, though there it might have been blind fury rather than any other reason.}}
* [[Uncomfortable Elevator Moment]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOg-nLWe71w Wrex seems to really like the elevators.]
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: By the second game, even if he can't go with Shepard, it's clear that he has nothing but undying respect for him/her and will help him/her in anyway he can.
Line 823:
** If he's taken to Noveria and Shepard spares the rachni queen. As he reminds you, millions of his ancestors died to defeat the rachni the first time.
** If you deleted Maelon's research, he has some choice words for you in the last game - it takes rescuing Eve and following him to the Shroud before he's willing to call you a friend again.
** {{spoiler|If you betray his trust by sabotaging the genophage cure, he tries to kill you. On the same occasion, he also calls you out for your actions during the Citadel coup if you killed the VS - *and* for the turian bomb on Tuchanka if you let it go off. It's a bit of a low point for Shepard, all in all.}}
{{quote|'''Wrex''': {{spoiler|What's the matter? Ashley not around to do your dirty work? Oh right, you killed her too! And it's time you found out how that feels!}}}}
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Considered his [[Friendly Enemy]] Aleena to be this.
