He is a gigantic, green-skinned, brash and intimidating ogre with a Scottish accent who initially lived alone in a desolate swamp, feared by villagers. This changes when he is sent on a quest by Lord Farquaad to save Princess Fiona from a dragon. From Shrek the Third onward, Shrek has become a well-liked celebrity, at least in Far Far Away. In the fourth movie, people managed to realize that Shrek isn't dangerous and lost their fear and prejudice over him, but to Shrek's dismay, they also come to regard him as a folk hero and visit him with even more frequency than before, disturbing him. But after the experiences of the movie, Shrek comes to appreciate his life more than ever.
