The calibrations king, and probably the gold standard for 'squadmate everyone wants to keep around forever.'
Garrus is beloved because he nails the balance between competence and loyalty. He is cool enough to admire, vulnerable enough to care about, and dryly funny enough to keep the friendship from feeling overly solemn.
Example
By the end of the trilogy, Garrus feels less like party composition and more like your actual right hand.
Why it matters
Garrus matters because companions become legends when they feel like chosen family rather than optional content.
