Forum:Has anyone thought about how old Wrex really is?

So I've decided to break away from the current mainstream topics, and talk about something really interesting, my dear friend Wrex. Now, as far as I know we're not given a definite date or even year of his birth, (its definitely not on the wiki timeline) as we have with most of our other friends. But we definitely know he was alive during the krogan rebellion 700-800 CE, because he says himself "right after the war(the rebellions)" he was forced to kill his father and leave Tuchunka. So really quick let's put this into perspective, the year of ME3 is 2186 CE, this knowledge already puts him at least between 1386-1486 years old, older than any asari by far. To make things even more interesting, when he killed Jarrod he was a tribe leader. This is only speculation, but I would imagine a tribe leader is not allowed to be in his "youth". So let's reference the asari again, asari definition of "youth" is much different than ours because of their long lifespans, even Liara at 105 says she is "barely more than a child". Since we've already proven a krogan (as long as he isn't killed) can easily outlast an asari, I would say the krogan definition is even more extreme, I'd say around 200-300 years old. I would also assume a tribe leader would have to be of a somewhat "mature" age, my guess is around 500, now at least putting firmly within the period of krogan population explosion. One more thing we definitely know is he doesn't know what a rachni looks like, evidenced if you bring him to peak 15 on Noveria. When you first encounter the rachni, your other squadmate will ask "what was that?", or something very similar, at which point he will reply "I dont't know, but someone on this mountain does." This means he either had to have been born at the end of the rachni wars or later (the war officially ended in 300 CE). So Wrex could possibly be around 1886 years old, nearly twice asari lifespan. Even more amazing is that this is in galatic standard time, which is 15.7% longer than earth time. Which could land him well within his second millenia by the standards we know today. Given this information, with the exceptions of warlord Okeer, Javik, and of course the reapers, Wrex could possibly and easily be the oldest character we know in the series. As I've played through all the games I've grown to love and care for all my friends and crew throughout the time, apart from vega who always came off as obnoxious and irritating to me, but Wrex is and always was my favorite. From my first moments with him I was intrigued with him, the way he's always far more intelligent than he let's on, the way he cares for his people, his sense of duty, his warriors spirit that put even his own kind to shame, with the exception of Grunts spirit, who I also loved. So what do you guys think? Shepheitz90 08:58, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
