[[File:aria p 4368.png|frame|I ''am'' Omega.]]

 

* [[Noble Demon]]

* [[Not So Harmless]]: When she first came to Omega, Patriarch thought she was just another dancer. After crushing a few of his organs and breaking half of his bones, she's been ruling Omega for centuries.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Has a number of these off-screen, as befitting her [[Noble Demon]] status. She gives out Shepard's contact information to a wannabe-merc (if Shepard stopped him from joining the mercs going after Archangel) so he can thank Shepard, and gives Shepard's contact information to a grieving mother for the same reason. It's also implied that her reasons for asking Shepard to defend Patriarch aren't entirely to protect her standing.

** A minor one in ''3''. If Shepard drinks enough in [[Good Guy Bar|Purgatory]] to pass out, s/he comes to next to Aria on Aria's couch, despite the bar being a level and a half above where Aria is sitting.

{{quote|''"Human sentiment tastes like piss. Don't spoil a death with it."''}}

 

* [[Jerkass]]: He's pretty much a typical krogan thug.

* [[Mauve Shirt]]: {{spoiler|If Wrex is still alive, Wreav's tomkah gets consumed by Kalros during the Tuchanka finale mission in ''3''.}}

* [[The McCoy]]: To the dalatrass's Spock and the Primarch's Kirk, only he's a lot less nice about it than Wrex.

* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: Treats the fertile females in ''3'' like property and makes disparaging remarks about other species.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: He's the red to—of all people--''Wrex's'' blue.

{{hardline}}

* [[The Atoner]]: {{spoiler|He views his research to cure the genophage as this. Mordin on the other hand, views his experiments as far too extreme.}}

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: His research data on the genophage. {{spoiler|If you save it, Mordin / Padok can synthesize a cure from Eve's tissue with much less trauma, keeping her alive.}}

* [[Hero Worshipper]]: {{spoiler|Prior to his breakdown, he looked up to Mordin. Unfortunately, between the mission to distribute the Modified Genophage and the effects it had on the Krogan, the relationship fell to pieces.}}

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: {{spoiler|Apparently, Maelon thought the krogan would be able to rebuild Tuchanka peacefully with [[Ax Crazy|Weyrloc Guld]] in charge. True, he joined Clan Weyrloc because they would be able to go to lengths that Clan Urdnot wouldn't, but Maelon's fantasy of a krogan cultural renaissance sounds a little hollow while he's working for a chief who brags about how he'll take over the galaxy and eat salarian eggs as a delicacy once the genophage is cured.}}

* [[Just Smile and Nod]]: At the end of the loyalty mission, {{spoiler|Mordin loses his temper over the experiments Maelon has performed and puts a gun to his former student's head; in the event that you take the Paragon Interrupt, Shepard begs him not to pull the trigger, as - in spite of everything that Maelon's said about him - Mordin isn't a murderer.}} Maelon can only smile and nod helplessly.

* [[Mad Scientist]]: A well-intentioned one, though.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: He's been wracked with guilt {{spoiler|ever since he and Mordin upgraded the Genophage}}, thereby accounting for the worst of his behaviour. {{spoiler|The Shadow Broker archives show that it started during their first mission on Tuchanka, when they were discovered by krogan guards and had to fight their way out - unknowingly killing female krogan in the process. When Maelon tried to issue a formal complaint, arguing that it went against the whole point of their mission, Mordin had him sedated. Apparently, the return to "normality" on Tuchanka and the rising stillbirths drove him even further over the edge; Mordin himself confesses that his failure to notice Maleon's distress or do anything about it only worsened the problem.}} Thankfully, assuming he survives the loyalty mission, Maelon recovers by the third game.

* [[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.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He really does want to cure the genophage and save the krogan.
