Personality: Mordin Solus is above all, a morally driven Salarian. What these morals may drive him to do, however, is another question. Based on what was best for the galaxy at large, for instance, Mordin helped to perfect and release an improved version of the Krogan Genophage, a genetic disease which makes only one in one thousand krogan offspring viable. However, despite Mordin's own defense of this action as the only viable way to keep the krogan in check and still allow their species to survive, the doctor experienced a moral dilemma as to the ethics of the situation. Disturbed by the conundrum and feeling guilt over the destruction of the krogans, he chose to open a clinic on Omega to heal instead of destroy. There he eventually developed and released a cure for a plague that ravaged the Omega Station.
Despite his dedication to healing and helping, Mordin has a sense of casual ruthlessness, employing military grade mechs to defend his clinic on Omega from the Blue Suns mercenaries and vorcha gangs; he dispatched anybody who threatened the clinic without hesitation. Mordin is dedicated to his work and ethical and moral standards. He personally returned to the krogan planet of Tuchanka in order to ensure that the genophage was working as intended, considering that not doing so and allowing others to do this work would be cowardly. He holds the doctor-patient confidentiality in high regard and would never reveal a patient's information or mock a serious situation. Further, he despises unethical research, and does not perform tests on "species capable of performing calculus." Despite all of his seriousness regarding his work, Mordin also has a wry wit and also has an interest in stage musicals, having once participated in a Salarian production of Gilbert and Sullivan (most likely a version of the Pirates of Penzance, as he sings a variation of 'The Major-General Song').
Like many Salarians, Mordin's mind moves very quickly and in non-linear patterns. His speech reflects this as he often speaks in truncated sentences, omitting unneeded words, thinking out loud and jumping between subjects with great rapidity in order to help his thought process.
Abilities and Weaknesses: Mordin is incredibly intelligent and possesses a genius level intellect. He has multiple degrees in various subjects, including biology, genetics, xenoscience, and medicine. He has perfected and worked upon genetic diseases as well as medical cures and other important medical research. However, he is also a gifted fighter, having served with the salarian Special Tasks Group and is skilled with both pistol and submachine gun. Further, his omnitool allows him to use several tech powers, including an incineration ability that allows him to set things (or people) on fire, a cryo blast which freezes enemies and a neural shock which overloads an organic enemy's nervous system, causing immense pain and paralyzing them for a short while. The armor he wears also allows him to project a kinetic barrier that protects him from bullets, shrapnel, explosions, etcetera.
Like other salarians, Mordin possesses a photographic memory.
However, Mordin is, for a salarian, pretty old. He’s in his early thirties and while his age doesn’t seem to slow it down, there certainly may be complications further down the road as he gets older. He’s a squishy organic and subject to being shot, blown up, stabbed, and generally torn up in combat.
