* [[The Don]]: She's the most powerful crimeboss in Omega and somehow has enough pull to influence the Asari Councilor. In ''Mass Effect 3'', she can even potentially end up controlling three of the biggest mercenary companies in the galaxy.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Think that Aria'd be okay with {{spoiler|Collector deals}} on her station if it doesn't bother her? {{spoiler|[http://media.comics.ign.com/media/056/056597/img_7844425.html Think again.]}}

** Also, when told that an Ardat-Yakshi's in Omega, Aria is quick to point Shepard to the right direction. On the other hand, this may just be because she likes Shepard (and doesn't want a justicar making a scene); she comments that it doesn't matter to her so long as the Ardat-Yakshi doesn't try to seduce ''her''.

* [[Tattooed Crook]]: Although given that Omega has almost no "rule of law" to speak of and she herself is responsible for there being any "order" on Omega ''at all'', she's only a crook "de facto".

* [[Never My Fault]]: When asked about why {{spoiler|he didn't originally disagree with the upgraded genophage}} he blames Mordin's influence on his behaviour. Furthermore, when he's actively confronted {{spoiler|over the test subjects killed in his search for a cure}} he once again blames Mordin's teachings, even going so far as to claim "{{spoiler|The experiments are monstrous because I was taught to be a monster!}}" Mordin, who deplores {{spoiler|the use of live test subjects}}, ''strongly'' disagrees.

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: In spite of everything he's seen and done, Maelon still manages to be both idealistic and shockingly naive, even during {{spoiler|a guilt-induced mental breakdown}}. Case in point: {{spoiler|he claims that if Mordin's team hadn't upgraded the genophage, an expanded krogan population would have stopped Saren at Eden Prime, if only because the Turian fleets would have been forced to keep an eye on the new Krogan colonies in the Traverse. Mordin, on the other hand, believes that the Turian fleets would have just declared war on the Krogan and killed every last one of them; the third game confirms this by revealing that a Turian bomb had been planted under Tunchkana's crust after the Rebellions, to be used if the Krogan ever rose up again.}}
