Personality: Mordin is at first glance an easy going, talkative Salarian who never blows you off for calibrations. He's always ready with advice and commentary on the current situation. While he has no great interest in romance, he is willing to give advice to others as to how to pursue it safely… whether they want the advice or not. He is a dedicated and creative scientist, capable of coming up with solutions to extremely challenging problems. A genius, in fact, but more importantly he is excited by discovery. Indeed, the portions that involve waiting make him rather impatient. While he wrestled with the ethics of his work on the genophage, he loved the experience of collaborating with so many other top scientists.

Mordin believes strongly that the ends justify the means. He tends to analyze situations from what he believes to be an impartial logical standpoint for the greater good. He does not shy away from what might seem to be morally questionable decision if it appears to be the path which provides the greatest overall benefit to society as a whole.

While this is his overall goal, he has struggled with some decisions he made, notably his work on enhancing a biological weapon intended to induce sterility in Krogans. While he long maintained that keeping the Krogan population in check was for the greater good of the galaxy, the large scale implications did disturb him. However, he also felt responsible to see the project through rather than unload the responsibility onto anyone else. He is not one to run from his own decisions. While he did wish the work would have fallen to someone else, he also fears that anyone else would have made the situation worse.
That is not to say he is incapable of regret. While he was certain at the time that the genophage was the right decision, contact with Shepard and the krogan has caused him to reevaluate that point. In light of the new data, he had to accept that his initial decision was wrong. While this was a difficult conclusion to reach, he had only one option available. Much as he chose to modify the genophage lest someone else make the problem worse, he was the only person he trusted with reversing the damage.

Opting to serve the greater good through a medical clinic was a considerably simpler option. He does not appear to have difficulty reconciling the many people he has killed with medical ethics, keeping the two very distinct. This did not even come into conflict during his ruthless defense of his clinic, as he considers killing dangerous people just as helpful as healing patients. He makes a point of noting that while he has used many unusual methods to kill, he has never used medicine to do harm. He also has a very strong personal rule against experimenting on sentient subjects.
Mordin processes emotional fallout very rapidly. He claims this is a general Salarian species trait due to their short lifespans. However, he would no doubt be appalled were we to take his word on the matter without a larger sample size to analyze.

While he does not have a personal interest in art, he considers its existence to be an important aspect of life. He believes the loss of it to be a great diminishment of life, rendering it devoid of overall meaning. He considers it to be demonstration of a soul. While he does not subscribe to a particular religion, having found them all lacking in answers after his questions about the genophage, he does maintain a certain degree of spirituality.

Key themes: Responsibility- A lot of Mordin’s arc deals with owning his previous actions and he has never let anyone else do something

Consequentalism- Mordin assessing things in terms of their end results

Main Motivation: Scientific discovery- nothing gets him as excited as a new problem with a chance to advance human knowledge

Skills: Mordin is an accomplished scientist. His specialty is genetics, but he has considerable knowledge of more diverse areas. While going after the Collectors, he also took time to develop improvements for the ship, suggesting wide ranging capabilities. He is also qualified as a medical practitioner.

As a former STG operative, he is also adept at infiltration, espionage and assassination. He knows a lot of ways to kill many different species.

Oh, and he has an excellent singing voice.
