[[Urdnot Wreav]] is [[Urdnot Wrex]]'s broodbrother, both of them having shared the same mother but born a decade apart. He becomes the leader of [[Clan Urdnot]] if Wrex [[Virmire: Wrex and the Genophage|died]] on [[Virmire]] or never [[Citadel: Wrex|joined]] [[Commander Shepard]]'s crew. He is more traditional than Wrex, placing the importance on his own clan over the krogan race as a whole.

__TOC__
{{Spoilers (Mass Effect 2)}}
== Mass Effect 2 ==
Shepard first meets Wreav on [[Tuchanka]]. If Wrex died on Virmire, Wreav expresses gratitude to the Commander for killing his brother, as it has led to him becoming leader of Clan Urdnot. Wreav is a traditional krogan, preferring war over peace, and as such, other traditionalists like [[Gatatog Uvenk]] do not offer much challenge to his leadership. 

If [[Grunt]] completes his [[Grunt: Rite of Passage|rite of passage]] into krogan adulthood, Wreav permits him to join clan Urdnot.

If Wrex survived Virmire, Wreav does not make an appearance.

If Wrex is Clan Urdnot leader, Shepard [[Priority: Tuchanka|meets Wreav]] for the first time in the Hollows, the sacred neutral ground for all krogan, during their attempts to cure the [[genophage]]. Wreav objects to the presence of [[Mordin Solus]], or [[Padok Wiks]] if Mordin is dead, even when it is mentioned that he was going to cure the genophage, until Wrex headbutts him.

During the land assault against the [[Shroud]] facility, where a [[Reaper]] was standing guard, Wreav's [[tomkah]] was sunk by [[Kalros]], the mother of all [[thresher maw]]s. He is believed to have died, to the indifference of Wrex, who comments that "he was a pain in the ass, anyway."

If Wreav is clan leader, he will be much more traditional and aggressive than Wrex. For example, while Wrex is very respectful to [[Eve]], Wreav treats Eve as his property and thinks of Eve as a "nag". Another example of this traditional, krogan mindset is his racist sentiments directed at various turians and salarians. His place as second-in-command is filled by [[Jorgal Thurak]].

After Wreav is invited aboard the [[Normandy SR-2|Normandy]] for the first time, Shepard finds out from [[Liara]] through [[Glyph]] that Urdnot Wreav has commissioned more weapons of mass destruction than any other krogan in known history, and has already used some of those weapons against other clans. However, Clan Urdnot still has a stockpile of conventional weapons despite Wreav's focus on weapons of mass destruction.

Also, Wreav's strategy for negotiations with the galaxy at large is to use force and intimidation as useful tools; if he threatens to have his krogan forces pay an alien planet a visit, for example, he doesn't have to actually follow through, knowing that merely the threat of krogan invasion will force others to listen and take the krogan seriously.

He is constantly seeking to turn situations to his vested advantage or the vested advantage of the krogan; once the genophage is cured, Wreav immediately takes the credit for it and spreads stories across Tuchanka of the day Wreav cured the genophage, which Wreav knows will cause all krogan to immediately respect him as the ultimate authority. Even when Wreav's forces show up at the final battle on [[Earth]], Wreav can be overheard giving orders to the krogan to cooperate with the other alien forces but to use this opportunity to study their tactics and formations, implying that the krogan may have violent future intentions.

If Shepard did not reveal the sabotage and if Wreav is the Urdnot leader, Wreav never discovers that the cure had not been dispersed and is fooled into pledging support from his own [[War Assets/Krogan#Urdnot Clan|clan]] and the rest of the [[War Assets/Krogan#Krogan Clans|krogan clans]]. In return for helping [[Dalatrass Linron]] to sabotage the cure, Shepard also receives backing from the salarian's [[War Assets/Salarian#Salarian First Fleet|First Fleet]].

=== Future ===
If Wreav is the Urdnot Clan leader and the genophage is cured, he successfully gives the Krogan what they all wanted and rallies a war.

If Eve is alive though, she and other females will have a standoff towards Wreav debating on war being the right choice for the Krogan.

== Trivia == 
*If Wreav is the leader of Clan Urdnot, when Shepard is going to activate the Maw Hammers during [[Priority: Tuchanka]], he'll tell Shepard to 'fight like a krogan', a reference to the song "Commander Shepard" by Miracle of Sound.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvaQDxhm_0U</ref><!-- dev confirmed, see Talk page -->
*Wreav has a red-colored crest in [[Mass Effect 2]] but a brownish one in [[Mass Effect 3]].
*In addition to Wreav, Jim Cummings also provides the voice of [[Patriarch]].  Cummings has also worked on BioWare's Dragon Age: Origins, providing the voices of [[w:c:dragonage:Aldous|Aldous]] and [[w:c:dragonage:Barlin|Barlin]].
*During [[Priority: Earth]], Wreav may ask Shepard for ownership of Australia in exchange for krogan military assistance. This may be a reference to a similar bargain struck between General Zod and Lex Luthor in the 1980 film ''Superman II''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRWowww2lEI</ref>
