So by now, most of us have played the first two acts of the Mass Effect Trilogy. By that standard, I think that a solid 99% of us recruited Wrex into our intergalactic crime fighting team, and for good reason. It's pretty damned hard to not like Wrex, and that's a fact.
If you killed Wrex in Mass Effect 1, you're a sadistic asshole, and I'm just going to get that out of the way first. Seriously, this guy is one of the smoothest, baddest, meanest, and ugliest characters ever imagined. He always gave the wisest, manliest advice, and when things got tough he kept a level head (unless his head was busy ramming mercenaries into walls). If you shot him, or let that god-wad bitch, Ashley shoot him, hang your head in shame.
The one time that Wrex lost his cool was when he realized that the protagonist was about to seal the fate of his entire species to extinction. AND EVEN THEN IT ONLY TAKES A FEW SENTENCES TO LOGICALLY CONVINCE HIM THAT IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD. See? Not just brawn, but brains too.
And finally, when you meet him again after two years, you find out that he went from being some old mercenary to THE FUCKING KING OF THE KROGAN. I'll tell you what. You name one person who has gone from zero to king of his god damned species in two years, and I'll revoke Wrex's bro status.
And there you have it: Urdnot Wrex, the official Game Nebula "Bro of the Month" for May
