Maelon Heplorn

Maelin is a Salarian geneticist, former operative of the Special Tasks Group, and former student of Mordin Solus. With Mordin, Maelin participated in the modification of the genophage, a biological weapon of mass destruction, the effects of which had been wearing off. In 2185, he was reported as captured by Krogan warriors, who were coercing Maelin to reverse the effects of the genophage virus. Mordin requested the aid of Commander Shepard in retrieving Maelin from his captors.

Dossier
Upon confronting Maelin, it became apparent that he was not working under duress and instead volunteered his services to the Krogan. He expressed extreme guilt for his work on the genophage, which he considered to be a form of genocide. Mordin Solus and Shepard put a stop to Maelin's experiments.
