Rupe Elkoss is the volus owner of Elkoss Combine.

Mass Effect 3
A woman strikes up a conversation with Elkoss near some apartments at the Presidium Commons on the Citadel in 2186, seeing that he's looking at an ad for Sanctuary, a purported safe haven from the ongoing Reaper invasion. Elkoss dismisses Sanctuary as a scam that preys on people's fears and wishes that he'd thought up the concept first as the profits from running the operation must be "higher than a hanar's water bill." The woman, Sara, incredulously asks how he could think of moneymaking during wartime, and Elkoss promptly introduces himself as the volus behind a company that makes "everything".

Sara tries to make Elkoss appreciate the Alliance and turian effort exerted in the war, but the volus can only think of the situation in terms of financial losses or gains. He sees no further need to step up and contribute as he's already a taxpayer for the turians and the only thing he'll do for the Alliance is send them a card, disgusting Sara. In response, Elkoss deems the tax rates for doing business on Thessia "disgusting". He apparently has Councilor Donnel Udina and Matriarch Benezia as acquaintances, as Elkoss recounts that he once told the Councilor that if he wanted to get screwed by the asari he would've returned the matriarch's calls.

Elkoss shares to Sara that while everyone's worried about the war he's more concerned about the aftermath. He argues that once the war is over the fools who paid a lot for Sanctuary will have nothing while he "will be rolling in credits and future ex-wives." This convinces Sara to avoid going to Sanctuary, and Elkoss brags that she'll thank him later if she trusts him.
