Mordin's last frame. |
The main plot line for the Krogans was to find a cure for
the Genophage and it was included in many subplots, conversations, cut scenes and
missions. The Genophage reduced the
fertility rate of the Krogans and kept them from overwhelming the galaxy with
sheer numbers.
In Mass Effect 2 Salarian scientist Mordin Solus joins
Shepard’s crew. During his plot mission The Professor and his loyalty mission Old Blood you learn of Mordin’s involvement with the Genophage and other
viruses.
Using Maelon’s data Mordin is able to develop a cure for the
Genophage. The Krogan are withholding
their assistance in the fight against the Reapers unless the Genophage is
cured. So Mordin assists Shepard to
develop a cure and release it into the atmosphere of Tuchanka thereby curing
the Krogans.
Upon arrival at Tuchanka Shepard discovers that a Reaper has
invaded and is near the Shroud; the device that will spread the Genophage cure
into the atmosphere. Shepard and team
fight their way through various mutated Reaper minions to summon Kalros, “the
mother of all Thresher Maws.” Lucky for
Shepard, Kalros attacks and destroys the Reaper allowing Shepard to get to the
Shroud. The Shroud is heavily damaged by
the Reaper and is unstable.

Mordin goes to the top and disperses the cure and shortly
afterwards the Shroud explodes before he can escape. Goodbye Mordin, another Mass Effect 2
character bites the dust.
Mordin was a fun character.
The way he spoke and the things he said made him a interesting and fun
character. I occasionally took him on
missions. Mordin’s rendition of “the
Major-general’s Song” calling himself a “scientist Salarian” in Mass Effect 2
was one of the funniest moments of the game.
