Mordin Solus is a salarian scientist, geneticist, professor and former member of the Salarian Special Tasks Group. He made his first appearance in Mass Effect 2 when Cerberus asked for his expertise. When Commander Shepard was sent to recruit him, he was already dealing with an epidemic involving an out break of a lethal plague that can affect many different races, expect humans and vorcha. After Shepard helped him to deal with the plague, he agreed to help out with the Collectors. He was able to construct countermeasures to the seeker swarm as well as many upgrades and the like.
Mordin is best known for his quirky demeanor as he has a tendency to ramble a lot. He also has a habit of breathing heavily through his nose several times since he rambles so much. Being a salarian, he is very hyperactive with his speech and thinking.
Also having to be part of the STG, he is very handy with a gun. He also tends to, without hesitation, execute those he deems a threat to himself and anyone else he is associated with, showing no remorse towards this, though he would never kill without a good reason to.
The Fayelons Story[]
Prior to the events of the story and during the Reaper war, Mordin sacrificed himself to disperse the genophage cure. However, he somehow survived his ordeal and was in a coma for several months. He was one of thousands of miraculous survivals throughout the entire galaxy, with a few others being Thane Krios, Captain Anderson and Commander Shepard. He is the second of the aforementioned survivors to awaken from his coma, having come to several months after the Reaper war.
After he came to, he was asked to look into some strange readings throughout the entire galaxy. He was unable to figure out what they were due to insufficient data.
He was then asked to help out a few girls, who were revealed to be magical girls, with fortifying their powers. When he first heard about these girls, he agreed to help them out with some suspicions that the mysterious readings were magical energy. After having accessed and evaluated the girls' magical energy, he was able to find that there was indeed a connection between them and the mysterious readings, revealing that they were indeed magical energy as well as them being the possible cause for the miraculous survivals.
It was later on revealed that he had a young niece who was a huge fan of magical girl shows and he had watched some of those shows with her. Such shows that he mentioned watching were Pretty Cure and Madoka Magica. He intends on seeing them again for research purposes. He had also bonded with Tali after offering to watch some of these shows with him, preferably Pretty Cure. He and Tali also had this ongoing tendency to ask Garrus to watch these shows with them, to which he had very little interest in watching a bunch of girlish anime.
His research towards the girls' powers and the readings of the mysterious energy throughout the entire galaxy has proven to be more than invaluable towards both the girls and figuring out the mysteries behind the miraculous survivals, including his own. He has also developed a good rapport towards the Fayelons as they have enjoyed working with him. However, out of all of them, Star was the one who has developed a genuinely close relationship with him as she is very easily drawn in by his quirky demeanor. She is seen very often with him in his lab either sitting near him or watching him from another part of the room. From this, she has opened up to him about so much that she had endured and he had become a sort of coping mechanism to so much of her pain. Mordin doesn't mind having Star around and seems to very much enjoy her keeping him company.
Even though Mordin has been very helpful with fortifying the girls' powers, he has taken a personal interest in them, be it their powers or them as actual people. The girls have also seen him as a good friend and the same kinds of bonds as they have with the rest of the Normandy crew.
