Mordin Solus

A brilliant salarian scientist, yet also a competent soldier due to his membership in the salarian Special Tasks Group earlier in his life, Mordin Solus possesses a hyperactive and eccentric personality, a rapid and stilted manner of speaking, and (as with all salarians) an flawless autobiographical and eidetic memory processes.

He is initially found on Omega, and is often considered by many to be a "mad scientist" with questionable ethics— he was a key member in the science team that researched the remodification of the Krogan Genophage (a terraforming viral-weapon designed to sterilized the Krogan species), an action that he feels guilty about but considers the best possible solution to a once growing problem.

Mordin believes in acting in the best interests of the galaxy; his scientific work is governed by strong moral standards and unquestionable respect for all forms of life.

Acquiring Solus will allows access to the research laboratory on the SSV Normandy, where Shepard may unlock and research upgrades for both the squad and the Normandy.

Kelly Chambers describes Solus as a "hamster on coffee" due to his rapid speech and thought processes.

Solus' loyalty quest involves Maelon Heplorn, a former assistant and student who has apparently been kidnapped by Blood Pack mercenaries.

Shepard and Solus head to Tuchanka, where they battle through the hospital-bunker of an opposing clan of the Urdnot Clan.

The team learns that Maelon had not been kidnapped at all and had been willingly researching a cure for the krogan genophage.

Depending on the player's choices, Mordin may or may not kill Maelon, and may either destroy the genophage cure data or keep the data for later use when necessary.

If Shepard proceeds with a romantic relationship with a crew member, Mordin will offer advice to ensure that Shepard and the crew member have a safe and pleasurable experience.

However, Mordin himself is not a romantic option, though if Shepard speaks to him several times with no love interest chosen, Mordin will misinterpret Shepard's friendliness and politely decline.

If prompted, he will also note that he has an interest in the works of Gilbert and Sullivan and will sing an altered version of the Major-General's song from The Pirates of Penzance.

Mordin Solus returns in Mass Effect 3, providing he survived the suicide mission in the previous game.

After defeating the Collectors, Mordin returned to STG as a special consultant, whilst also working as an inside source for Clan Urdnot.

If Maelon's research data was saved, he uses it to aid in the treatment of the surviving female krogan codenamed Eve, the only survivor of his student's experiments.

He is encountered on the salarian homeworld, Sur'Kesh, when Shepard is sent there to aid in the evacuation of the female.

If players choose to go through with the cure, Shepard warns Mordin that the Shroud (a construct the salarians created to help cleanse Tuchanka's atmosphere) they plan to use to disperse the cure was tampered with by the salarians years ago and is now suffering from terrible damage due to the Reaper attack.

Mordin volunteers to go to the top of the Shroud to fix the sabotaged systems knowing he wouldn't be coming back.

Shortly after fixing the system and dispersing the genophage cure, Mordin is killed by an explosion in the Shroud control room.

If players choose to hide the information about the sabotage, they have the option of warning Mordin about it, or preventing him from dispersing the cure.

If the latter is chosen, Mordin will choose to cure the genophage; a Renegade interrupt may be taken to kill him.

Regardless of whether the genophage was cured or not, Mordin's name is added to the memorial on the third floor of the Normandy of all the crew members who've died.

Alternatively, if Urdnot Wreav leads the krogan, and Eve died from complications due to the lack of Maelon's data, Mordin can be convinced that curing the genophage will repeat the Krogan Rebellions.

If the player passes this check, Mordin will agree to fake his own death and lend his support to the Crucible project.

If Mordin died in Mass Effect 2, his role is replaced by Padok Wiks.

Mordin is listed on the Normandy SR-2's memorial wall on the Crew Deck, if he did not survive the events of Mass Effect 2 and 3.

Mordin Solus is voiced by Michael Beattie in Mass Effect 2, and voiced by William Salyers in Mass Effect 3.
