The Bardasano genotype was one of Mesa's prime genetic lines, guided by the Mesan Alignment.

It was notable for over six generations for intelligence and ruthless determination, although there were a few unfortunate and unintended traits, such as a tendency towards sexual disorders and mildly sociopathic behavior. At one point the Mesan Alignment was tempted to cull the line's last several iterations, and restart development from a much earlier genotype. The beneficial traits, however, proved to be so strong and useful that a remedial program was implemented instead, merely culling the previous two generations.

Thanks to the performance of Isabel Bardasano, the line had temporary Alpha status within the Mesan Alignment. Albrecht Detweiler expected the status to become permanent if the negative traits were dealt with within the next few generations. (SI2)
