The 1e boxed set only says he is a well-known personage from the Wild Coast and that he is an archmage who can often be found with various quasi-deities like Heward, Keoghtom, and Murlynd.The 1e Rogues Gallery pegs him as neutral alignment and says:A great and powerful mage, Mordenkainen spends much of his time pondering over new bits of magical research. When he does travel it is usually with the company of his high-level henchmen. On those occasions when he must venture alone, he will disguise himself as an old, poor merchant. In this manner he hopes to avoid attention while still obtaining his goal (usually some rare item for his work).Mordenkainen should not, however, be mistaken for some weak and withered magic-user, preferring to mind his own business. He is an active and aggressive person, not failing to attempt bold, sweeping plans when the situation demands. He has skill in diplomacy, leadership, politics, and some knowledge of religion. He is thorough in his plans and will utilize whatever resources are necessary. He is stubborn and his decisions are often harsh. For all this, he is a clever and useful ally.</blockquote>
