Appearance: Odo usually takes a form roughly the same size and shape as a human but with fewer details and more rounded edges (see Humanoid Founder template), with slicked back light-brown hair. Like all changelings, his natural state is a shimmering goo. Citizens of most of the major factions in the Alpha Quadrant recognize both forms as the face of the enemy in the recent war.
Personality: Odo is generally a gruff and solitary person, with a dry sense of humor that occasionally includes playing pranks on Quark. He has a deep belief in the importance of justice and order. His relationship with Kira has softened his rough edges somewhat.
Backstory: Odo was one of many Changelings sent to explore the universe, and one of only a handful who have re-surfaced since. Initially unaware of his origins, he was discovered and experimented on by Doctor Mora on Bajor. Eventually Odo proved his sentience and learned to take humanoid form. He lived independently on Deep Space Nine during the Cardassian occupation, where his impartial status and deep commitment to justice made him the only person both the Bajorans and Cardassians trusted to investigate crimes. The Cardassians eventually named Odo Chief of Security for the station.

After the Cardassians withdrew, Odo retained his position as Chief of Security on the Bajoran space station. He wanted to discover where he came from, but was unhappy to learn that the Founders pursuit of order meant subjugating others. He consistently sided with Bajor during the Dominion War, and as a result of him killing a Founder he was forced into solid form for a time. He developed a romantic relationship with Kira and accompanied her to assist Damar’s revolution against Dukat.

At the end of the Dominion War, Odo decided to return to the Great Link to heal his people both physically (by sharing a cure to a virus contained in his body), and spiritually (by helping them to learn how to coexist peacefully). Odo has returned to the Alpha Quadrant only for one brief visit in the past year, to co-ordinate several conditions of the post-war settlement and visit Kira. He has stepped down from his position as Chief of Security, and is expected to take some leadership or ambassadorial position within the new Dominion government once it is established. He is still recognized as a police officer by both the Bajoran and Cardassian governments.

*From the Changeling template

Code of Honor (Unarmed Police): Never use a manufactured personal weapon, never turn an innocent person over for conviction, pursue justice. This is an expanded version of the professional code of honor. -10 points
It would also include pursue justice objectively. With emphasis on the adjective.

In the episode when Kira was coming aboard to do mischief to the (then) Cardassian regime, Odo released her. Because he was neutral in the war but interested in keeping regular crime down.
