I am starting this thread in the formidable shadow of esteemed BSNer @thetechnoturian , who normally handles Turian posting duties, but hey I'm curious what everyone thinks. Besides, everyone loves Turians, right? (sorry no speak kroggenz pls try ENGLISH) Please suggest other candidates and I will add a poll.
1. Garrus Vakarian: Smooth luxury car commercial voice, unstoppable with a sniper rifle (or assault rifle or any given weapon), Turian Batman, first-rate teller of war stories and careful appraiser of Quarian beauty. Essentially Turian shadow Primarch.
2. Primarch Adrien Victus: Managed to kill lots of Reapers on Menae before Garrus showed up, stopped Salarians and Krogans from slaughtering each other and fostered Human-Krogan-Turian alliance, deft handler of essay crisis after essay crisis while his son was re-enacting old Vietnam scripts with Shepurd.
3. TheTechnoTurian herself, who at this point has probably killed a total of 56,112,755,900,028 foes of the Turian Hierarchy, is a notable fan of rage-missiling, and has contributed a vast collection insightful posts to BSN.
4. Nihlius: Because everyone likes his face paint
5. Saren Arterius, because he's the only villain in Mass Effect worthy of the title. Recruited Geth heretics and turned them into a private army, sort of cured the genophage, invaded Citadel, attempted to destroy universe with enraged Krogan, attempted to destroy universe with Rachni, attempted to destroy universe with Reapers, nearly succeeded, and broke Reaper indoctrination long enough to shoot himself in the noggin (TIM doesn't count because he was already insane). Also had a cool hoverboard.
I probably got a few things wrong as my expertise is in The Strongest Martial Arts!!!, not Turians, but feel free to point out errors so I can sneer at the monitor ensure this post is of the highest quality!
Update: For TheTechnoTurian's classic Greatest Thread on The Internet Turian Thread focused on Multiplayer Fat Turians, please go to:

Some other glorious and notable turians: The Turian Shopkeep at Rodam Expeditions. His enthusiasm for his job should be an inspiration to us all. The "You Humans are all Racist" Turian Guy. Clearly one of the great political thinkers of our time. The Actual Techno Turian . I wish I had those moves Lorik Qui'in, the classiest of Turian Businessmen, from Noveria in ME1 Rolan Quarn, the greatest of Turian Con Artists I vote for Garrus  |

Nihilus. He only died because Saren cheated, and put the barrel of a Carnifex where the shield couldn't repel the shot. Though Saren is pretty badass as well, because he can fly on his board thing and use biotics and shoot rockets. Also, in revelations when he tortured that Batarian dude was cool (though also bit morbid).

Executor Venari (By-The-Book) Pallin - Assigned Garrus to investigate Saren and then had the forsight to take him off the investigation so Garrus would become PO'd enough to join Shepard. (May be secretly grooming Garrus to eventually become Primarch.  He was set up by Udina by false allegations of corruption and was believed shot by Commander Bailey. However, he is rumored to be alive in the ME3 Codex (see Citadel Coup entry)... and, who knows, he could conceivably make an appearance in ME:A  |

Garrus, but in his own words, he doesn't consider himself a good Turian. So maybe it's unfair...
Umm... runner up Saren. I like the chick in Omega DLC too.

Saren. I also liked Nihlus, but we didn't really get to know him since he didn't last very long.

Nihlus Edition - Commander of the now defunct Turian Military Dominion, now a fugitive hiding deep within the Geth Network. He is considered, mad, dangerous, deeply disturbed, and is wanted on 17 counts of forced prostitution and Quarian sexual slavery. His plans for galactic conquest were foiled by a lone, anonymous STG operative.

I myself would probably have to write in Warden Kuril, who, while a ruthlessly utilitarian asshole*, is commendable for his selection of armament.
*with no face paint so we know he's up to no good |

Why is Garrus winning? He's so bad that he needs Shepard to bail him out every five minutes. In fact, I doubt he could even tie his on shoes without help from a friend.

Because Garrus could narrate a TV commercial for robot vacuum cleaners and all of a sudden they would be the top selling item worldwide including in Amish households |
