Garrus Vakarian is a male turian who serves as a squad mate in all three of the games. Garrus is initially a C-Sec officer who joins up with Shepard to escape from all the "red tape" in his job but becomes a vigilante under the alias Archangel on Omega in "Mass Effect 2" before his squad is killed. Garrus is a potential romance option for a female Shepard in "2". In "Mass Effect 3", he leads a "Reaper task force" for the Turians, with the option to continue their relationship from "2" if he was Shepard's paramour. The character is also the star of the third issue of "Mass Effect: Homeworlds". Garrus's blue-and-black armour colour scheme was kept consistent throughout the series, as was his visor, although grey was added in the third game to reflect his new rank.
