There is only references to Garrus' father, who was a C-Sec officer like Garrus as well. Garrus spoke about this in ME1, when he talked about being one of many being chosen from the army to be Spectres.



But it is a curious question. I wonder the reason why they don't have Garrus' mother is because they have to introduce female turians to the game (which it looks like BW is being lazy... again)

[Bugsie]

Shepard looked out of the starboard window admiring the beauty before her, no the universe wasn’t cosmic turquoise as the scientists had said, it was pink fabulous pink!!!



Garrus came to her side “My darling Shepard, what a fabulous outfit you’re wearing”

Shepard responded with stars in her eyes “You too Garrus that is the most fabulous armour your wearing, my favourite colour”

Garrus reached around her waist “Anything for you, specially designed haute couture from the house of Alexine” Shepard looked down and gasped with amazement “Oh Garrus, your sniper rifle, its pink too!”

“Yes, yes it is, and that’s not all, you know how, well ahem, my banana is shiny metal blue, I’ve just been to the body shop and um they……”

“No!”

“Yes! They had some of that speckled pink paint that shines different colours in the light, I think they used it for hotted up cars back on earth in the 21st Century. But its oh so fabulous!”

“We should head over to Clan V’s discussion group to view more fabulousnessness”

Shepard and Garrus headed to the Hammerhead, which now thanks to the special speckled paint was now a fabulous colour and disappeared in to the cosmic pink universe.



Ok I will get back on topic now.

Yes, I remember the kind-of trauma he had because of what his father represented to him (or, well, that's how I interpretated it, maybe it's not like that), and I remember he grew on Palaven too, so I wonder if that's where they keep his mother (and all the other female turian, except for the one that...err... Garrus sparred with), but there's nothing else, right?

[Alexine]

What I found with Garrus was that he wasn't truly close with his father, as he said he admired him when he saw him on television. It probably meant that Garrus' father was too busy being the upholder of justice as a C-Sec. It's surprising if that's where Garrus got his strong sense of justice from.

[Mentatzoee]

Maybe it was just because of the mix between the admiration and the distance.

He might wanted to be just like him as a kid, when he just saw he was taking down the evil of the universe without really knowing how things were until he got into C-Sec and faced the truth. That might be the source of his disappointment.

[Bugsie]

I've been digging but can find no reference to his mother. Like most of the ME background stories there seems to be only a focus on one parent (if they're mentioned at all), Miranda's father, Jacob's father, Samara.

Maybe they want to keep it for ME3, add some more tension and loyalty missions.



Granted, if they do that, it'll probably become the cheese of dramatisation in the entire series.

Okay, no more Fabulous for me. I'm supposed to be reading!

Fabulous thread is Fabulous.

I'd like to somehow. Feelings in it's right measure are what make BW's games interesting. If we wanted a FPS we'd play Call of Duty.

Anyway, I'd really like to know about his mother, maybe about having sisters or brothers (do Turians tend to have them? I've got no clue), and to seeing his father. It'd be great for a loyalty subplot. (or... DLC... Impatience? Who?)



In another range of subjects, do you like the way Garrus' dresses when he comes to your quarters? (This is not fabulousness related, lol) I was just highly disappointed by his outfit. I mean... That blue and yellow combination...

[Christmas Ape]

You know, considering the average human lifespan (and by extension, apparently, turian and quarian) is around 150, it's shocking how many people have a dead parent without much explanation.
Where's Jacob's mother? Or Garrus'?
What exactly did Ashley's father die from?

We can at least infer that Samara's daughters are from three different partners, given her certainty it's her passing it on.
And in Miranda's defense, it's hard to feel emotionally attached to a protein culture vat, no matter how important it was to your young life.

Best argument for playing the PC version with texture mods in the whole game. As I've said somewhere before, it looks like he lost a bet right before he came up.

Miranda's mother, Oh yeah thats right /facepalm. What a dork I am, too much fabulous is turning my grey matter pink.

[Alexine]

Garrus has bad fashion tastes... Or someone must've recommended it to him.

So who would recommend that atrocious outfit whose on the Normandy?

Well, we know things are different at that time. People dies easily (as easy as being mercenaries in Shepard's way), and so, but it is true indeed that not having family around is an easy way to avoind having to work on a decent background. Family makes characters and universes more rich and textured.

That's why I'd love to see his parents, and his homeworld!

(Just a thought: Maybe for Asari it'd be more complicated to link with the non conceiving partner though.)

I was like "WTF are you wearing? You're embarrassing me!! Go and put yourself your armor on!"

The scary thing is that seems to just be how turians dress when they're not in armor, excepting Councilor Velarn and Lorik. Everybody else is all day-glo and pastels. Atrocious.

I'm wondering if it's some kind of turian 'generation gap', either based on age or citizenship tier. "Your wardrobe doesn't require earplugs to look at" is a reward for advancement, maybe?

[Alexine]

Garrus' outfit really has Australian colours in them. The Aussie green and yellows, mixed with the blue from the Australian Flag.



Okay, to bed now. The Fabulous is a great thing to keep awake when no one's available tonight for Friday night drinks (most of my friends are having exams next week. Boo...)

I bet it was Joker. That son of a human!
He's always kidding on Shepard.


There's something I wonder... How do Mordin, Jacob and Thane know you're about to hit on Garrus when that happens? What's he telling people?


Sorry bout the doublepost!

Well, to be fair, we don't know that Jacob's or Garrus' mothers are dead. They might simply not have had a very close relationship with their children. Or the parents divorced, and the children stayed with the father: it's possible that there's less prejudice against fathers in such scenarios in the future.

Although, if that's the case...considering how Jacob's father turned out and how close Garrus was to his dad...you gotta wonder what their mothers were like.

Ashley's father could've died from cancer, or a number of other diseases. A longer lifespan doesn't mean that all diseases have been eradicated, after all. The same goes for Jacob's and Garrus' mothers, if they're dead.

We can at least infer that Samara's daughters are from three different partners, given her certainty it's her passing it on.

That's not quite true. Samara's not passing anything on. Ardat-Yakshi are born from the union of any two asari. That's part of the reason why asari don't like pureblood pairings. So all we can infer is that Samara's children had an asari "father". Whether it was the same one for all three is anybody's guess. Although the way Samara talks about settling down to have a family, it sounds like it was the same one.

And in Miranda's defense, it's hard to feel emotionally attached to a protein culture vat, no matter how important it was to your young life.

I lol'd

And yes, the colours of Garrus' romance clothes are just dreadful. Then again, it only means that Shepard will want to get them off him faster. He had it aaaaall planned out

The same way Kasumi knows. Garrus doesn't necessarily have to talk about it (in fact, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be the kind to go trumpeting it around). But people probably notice Shep going into the Main Battery on a regular basis to chat to him. The squaddies could also notice exchanged looks while on missions, a different way of talking to each other, etc. Y'know, all the little details between two people who are attracted to each other. That's how gossip spreads.

In defense of the green and gold the green in Garrus's outfit is more of a mould colour - trust me I'm part plant pathologist, I know the colour of mould when I see it.

I wouldn't believe Garrus asked Miranda for help. She must have been spying on us.

EWWW.

Now thanks to that definately I won't be able to play without the texture mod anymore.

if only we could see a bit of him WITHOUT the outfit, it wouldn't matter, but since it's all I'm gonna see, I'd better like it. xD

EDIT: NOW YES, sorry about the doublepost.

Come now, I'm not new to this 'setting speculation' game. I'd not miss such an easy answer.

The Codex tells us via the wiki...

Humans can live to about 150 years, and recent medical advances have eradicated almost all known diseases that afflict them.

Which suggests there's a very small selection of conditions that still kill us. I'd imagine prion-based conditions still exist, as they are shockingly hard to eradicate (though equally hard to contract), and evidently a genetic ailment or two, but it certainly does appear that the future is only looking up for humanity. It's just odd that they make points about us being healthier and much longer-lived than we are now, but some background characters just....die.

Fair enough, I'd forgotten about the Codex quote. How about a traffic accident or something of the sort then?

In fact, when I was in the planning stages for my fic, I'd toyed with the idea of Garrus' mother dying in a traffic accident (along with his little sister...yes, I'd thought about giving Garrus a little sister), which was part of the reason why his father was so aloof. But it was too similar to Tali's situation, so I just dropped the idea. And the little sister too. Garrus probably works best as an only child.
