Character Information
Name: Mohinder Suresh Canon: Heroes Age: 33 Gender: Male Canon Point: Season One, between Run! and Unexpected Background Link:Here Inventory: Silver thumb ring, middle of the road wrist watch, button down shirt, a pair of jeans, brown boots, thick tan coat with sherpa lining, contact lenses, brown wallet containing $30-50 American, his taxi driver's license, and a key to "Sylar's apartment" in Queens. He also has a brown satchel containing a pair of glasses, handiwipes, his passport and work visa, a small flashlight, his keys to his father's apartment, a hair tie, his laptop, a tourniquet, swabs and some empty vials in a black case, and contact lens solution and a case.
Personality: Mohinder is a professor and a geneticist from Chennai, India. He has a doctorate in parapsychology and use to teach evolutionary genetics at the University of Madras. He had always attempted to follow in his father's footsteps, trying to get recognition for his own work while building off of his own father's research into the evolution of human beings through genetic mutations that would allow them to access special powers or abilities. Mohinder and his dad had a very rocky relationship which seems to have stemmed from the death of his older sister. When Shanti got sick with an unknown virus, Mohinder was conceived to produce antibodies for her. Though he was born with those antibodies, it was too late to save Shanti. This caused his father's coldness towards him.
Despite Mohinder's clash with his father, who had run off to America to try and find evolved human beings to support his book sometime after Mohinder gained tenure at his university, he still defended him and his work. When he was told that his father died, Mohinder even went so far as to take a leave of absence from his teaching position, and went off to New York City to discover why his dad was killed and to unlock his father's code on the way to find more people with abilities. This shows how much Mohinder longed to be accepted by his father and forms the basis for later daddy issues he encounters in New York.
Mohinder is a born skeptic, as any good scientist ought to be. Though he does believe his father's theories about evolved humans and super powers, he needs to see them for himself, first hand. He is quick to dismiss other people at first that claim to have powers but can't or have trouble with reproducing them. Conversely, he is also extremely gullible and easy to dupe. Over and over again, Mohinder's want-it-to-be-true nature has gotten him into trouble. He rarely stops to think through certain situations and is caught up in the plots of others because he feels himself powerless to do anything else. Despite all of his book smarts, Mohinder rarely shows signs of having common sense.
Mohinder has an inflated sense of morality. Though he is sometimes forced to do things outside of his comfort zone, more often than not, he rebels when pushed too far even if that gets him injured. He tries to be heroic and though he is far from cowardly, he is very easy to spook. He can be annoyingly persistent at times and is willing to drop his entire life for causes he believes in with very little provocation.
That said, Mohinder finds it very hard to forgive people that have wronged him. Mohinder considers himself to be between worlds of atheism and religion (though it should be noted that the Hindu faith does not conflict with science as some monotheistic belief systems do and therefore, this edging towards atheism does not have to do with being a scientist). While he embraces the social idea he grew up with that states that a son must avenge a wronged family member, he also has difficulty with this cruel side of himself. Mohinder generally takes it upon himself to deal with his own problems as well, rather than reaching out to other people. This usually puts him into more danger than it's worth. He is a very focused and driven man, which can cause blind spots and sometimes strips him of true reason.
Though Mohinder has had long term relationships, and actively accepts romances, he has never been married and is childless. His research and work always comes first. Mohinder's greatest fear is failure. Since birth he's felt the guilt of failing since he had not been born in time to save his sister. He's failed to garner much attention from his father despite following him in his research. Stemming from this comes his fear of letting people down and helps explain his sometimes misplaced loyalty.
