===Urdnot Wrex===
Wrex is among the last of the krogan Battle Masters. They are rare individuals who can combine biotic abilities with advanced weaponry. Wrex quickly gained fame for his battle prowess and became a leader of one of the smaller Urdnot tribes at a very young age. To date, Wrex is the youngest krogan to be granted the honor in 1000 years.
<p>
Following the krogan genophage, Wrex realized that his people had degenerated from the honor-bound people they once were and had become senselessly violent, preferring death in battle rather than saving their culture through peaceful means. Wrex subsequently turned his back on his people. During the past three centuries, Wrex has worked as a bodyguard, mercenary, soldier and a bounty hunter.
<p>
Despite his menacing appearance, Wrex rarely loses his temper. Likewise, Wrex doesn't voice his thoughts very often. But when he does, people are more than willing to listen. The mere threat of his anger is enough to ensure that. <ref>{{cite website| title = "Galactic Codex - Krogan Series Part 3: Wrex, Krogan Battle Master" | url = http://masseffect.bioware.com/galacticcodex/krogan_wrex.html | publisher = BioWare}}</ref>

A Spectre turian agent gone rogue, Saren Arterius was best known for 'getting results' through brutal but efficient means.
