Chronologically, I believe Shepard is 29 during ME1 and 31 in ME2.

Here's the ME timeline: http://masseffect.wi...m/wiki/Timeline

Turians are like trees, you have to chop them in half to count the rings. Luckily, ME 3 comes with a nice omnitool blade device so you likely will have your answer shortly within the game if you so choose.

This reminds me of something Zaeed or some krogan would say; except for the metagaming.

How old is Shepard, for that matter? He wouldn't have technically aged the two years he was dead, so isn't he still 29?

yeah...it doesn't work like that.he may not have memories of the last 2 years,but time never the less passed so he aged.he may have been dead-ish but he's alive now so yeah time didn't skipped him,he's older.

Biologically and mentally, it can be assumed that Shepard is still 29. Jacob said that (s)he was brought back exactly the same (scars apparently nonwithstanding), and there's no reason to have aged Shep up a couple years when the change would have been next to none anyway.

Chronologically, it's a little more tricky. Shepard was dead; turned into space-dust. Maybe I'm only speaking for myself, but if someone asked me how old my deceased grandfather was, I would say how old he was when he died - not how old he would be today. Time doesn't skip anyone, but the way society focuses it does.

Of course, there's no real way to tell when in the Lazarus Project did Shep's heart start beating, which is the point I would consider him/her officially alive again. So to me, Shepard could chronologically be anywhere from 29-31.

His age is floating around but sense I care not to find it basing it off his looks and voice I'd say he's about 25 in ME and 27 in ME2.

 Do Turians live about as long as humans do? If they do then I think he's gotta be like 28-35 in Mass Effect 2.

Ah, yes, the greatest mystery of the ME franchise.. put simply: we don't know for sure.

Assuming he did his 15 years of military service prior to working at C-sec, he could be older than Shepard in ME1 (he mentions having worked at C-Sec for a few years and given his role in the Saren investigation, he's had time to rise through the ranks). But given his attitude and personality, it is easier to think of him as younger or about the same age as the commander.

The lifespans of turians are the same as humans, however all turians go into the military at age 15 (well, start of basic training anyway, they become the equivalent of adults at 16 and can begin gaining citizenship tiers then) so there may be some differences as to how different age groups behave.

It would be simply divine if we could get an official confirmation on this, every other major character's age has been revealed and can be found on the timeline on the ME Wiki.

As for Shepard's age.. that's debatable, especially since we don't know which month the suicide mission occurred during (or if stuff post-SM counts as part of the timeline for ME2). I'd argue that Shepard is 31 or 32 at the end of ME2 but it really depends on if you count those two years or not and whether the suicide mission happened before or after his/her birthday (which is April 11th).

Turians are conscripted at the age of 15 and serve in the military until age 30.  In turian society the military is a massive spanning public works body.  The military police and military firefighters serve the civilian population as well.  As such, Garrus was probably filling his requirement for military service while in C-sec.  He is probably 32-35, but I always got the impression he was younger than that.

...It is probably because his relationship with femshep always seemed like a student/teacher crush.  My gut says 25 years old in ME1.

How long is year on Palaven?

Don't forget that turians begin their military training at the age of fifteen, though. They have a bit more time to rack up their ranks than we do. Plus, like someone's already mentioned, one of the writers confirmed that Garrus is under 30 years old.

I usually figure him mid-to-late twenties. Around 27-29 sounds about right to me.

I completely agree... I always thought him as being roughly 27 by ME1 and thus 29 by ME2...

Agreed

Good question but I assume all species adhere to some sort of galactic "standard" when it comes to how many years old they are. Otherwise converting would be a pain in the arse.

And it's quite possible that his C-Sec job counted towards his military service, given his father's influence he was probably able to land a respectable rank within C-Sec early on so that makes it even hard to gauge how long he was actually there for and at what age he started.

I always just assume he is the same age as Shepard was in ME1.

Shouldn't be much shorter/longer than our year.

Also, good point about public work counting as military service, I was thinking about this, then saw your post.

My guess is that Garrus is the same age as Shepard. Wow, that was radical and refreshing, right? 

[S.A.K]

Shepard is 28 at the end of ME1, Garrus 25-30, Tali 22

[SkittlesKat96]

In Mass Effect 2 he's gotta be over the 30 because of the whole 'Turian military until they are 30' thing.
He seems kind of older too anyway...that Turian politician person you need to follow on the Citadel for Thane, HE is young, not Garrus.
