Maenir Linron

Once described as a "queen bee" of Sur'Kesh's welthiest bloodline, Dalatrass Maenir Linron was the leader of the Salarian Union until 2188. She has taupe skin with white markings along her jaw. She is stubborn, but intelligent, and not above using subterfuge to get what she wants. Unfortunately, she often has the upper-hand and can come off as abrasive and take petty actions as a result.

Shortly before the on-set of the Reaper War, Linron narrowly won an election to retain her leadership of the Linron bloodline. During a war summit in the early days of the war Urdot Wrex demanded a cure for the genophage in exchange for help from the krogan people. Linron refused vehemently- saying the krogan could not be trusted to not over run the galaxy if the genophage was cured. The turian War-Primarch Adrien Victus also protested that a cure would take years to develop and they needed help now. Wrex revealed that someone had leaked video to him of krogan women who had survived Maelon's experiments as successes. Wrex, Victus, and Commander Shepard then put pressure on Linron to release the women and to allow a cure to be synthesized from them. Backed into a corner, Linron reluctantly agrees- but darkly promises that "the consequences of this will be felt for centuries to come" and "a bully has few friends when she needs them most!"
After securing the lone surviving female, the Dalatrass attempted to cut a backroom deal with Shepard: sabotage the genophage cure and secure the assistance of the salarian fleet. Shepard refused, and as such there were almost no salarians flying in the Battle of London (save a few members of the STG, and the salarian Councilor Valern on board the Destiney Ascension.

As a result of both Dalatrass Linron's refusal to aid Earth and the Reapers not prioritizing salarian space, Sur'Kesh (and the salarians as a whole) did not take the beating most other races did. Once the mass relays were reactivated in 2187, they were able to mostly get back to the business of living with minimal clean up. As a member of the Citadel Council, the salarians were expected to offer aid to other species- but often these requests were responded with a pittance of what was asked for or outright ignored. Throughout 2187 and into 2188, the mood of the rest of the galaxy began to sour towards the salarian people- something that appeared to go completely unnoticed by the dalatrass, though it's possible the collection of salarian leaders were attempting to punish the galaxy for defying their wishes regarding the genophage.
On July 19th, 2188, after being forced to observe the Salarian New Year, Dalatrass Linron arrived at Union Hall to return to work and found herself unable to unlock the door. Major Tallin Kirrahe was there to greet her with the news that she had been removed from her position of head dalatrass of the Salarian Union, due to the Salarian Union having been dissolved. Kirrahe then shut the door in the shocked dalatrass' face.
