* ChickMagnet: Along with EvenTheGuysWantHim. Garrus attracts the attention of no less than [[LongList Dr. Chloe Michel, Yeoman Kelly Chambers,]] [[spoiler: Admiral Tali'Zorah nar Rayya,]] [[LongList a turian military scout, a turian patron at Silver Coast Casino,]] all the way up to (potentially) [[FanPreferredCouple Commander Shepard herself]]. In ''Citadel'', he can get one of the guards at the casino to flirt with him. He receives a ShipTease from Eve and male Shepard.

* HurtingHero: In the second game; especially pronounced when pursuing a romance with him. In the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC, a dossier on him reveals [[spoiler: his mother has turian Alzheimer's, and his sister is on bad terms with him because he can't send any money to help and can't tell her what he's doing.]] Liara says to female Shepard in a romance with him that she's giving him peace.
** Although its also revealed that [[spoiler: he asked Mordin to use his STG clearance to pull some strings so the Salarian Medical Centre had clearance to pursue further research into the disease. He also donated his Cerberus pay and sends Collector samples to fund the project and get his mother onto one of the trials]].
** In ''Mass Effect 3'', [[FromBadToWorse he gets worse]], due to [[spoiler: the Reapers' invasion of Palaven]]. He worries constantly about his dad and sister during the course of the game, even praying for their safety at one point after his father tells him his sister has been injured before the call cuts off. [[spoiler: They do make it safely off the planet eventually, but Garrus's ill mother is never mentioned at all]].
