'''Solon''' (Japanese: {{hl|ソロン|Soron}} ''Solon'') is a character appearing in {{FE16}} and {{FEWA2}}. He is a member of [[those who slither in the dark]].


==Biography==
==Biography==
Solon is a member of "[[those who slither in the dark]]". He makes his first proper appearance in [[The Flame in the Darkness|Chapter 8]], discarding his appearance as [[Tomas (Three Houses)|Tomas]] in a burning [[Remire Village]], revealing he had disguised himself just so he could obtain [[Flayn]]'s blood in order to further his group's agenda. Once defeated, Solon declares he had achieved the purpose of his experiments before teleporting away. He appears once again in [[Where the Goddess Dwells|Chapter 10]], intercepting his fellow cult member [[Kronya]] who asks for his help with killing [[Byleth]]. Solon agrees, proceeding to ritually sacrifice Kronya against her will by ripping her heart out from her chest, performing the Forbidden Spell of Zaharas which trap Byleth in a realm of never ending darkness. While gloating over his victory, Byleth manages to break free after fusing with [[Sothis]]. Realizing what had just happened, Solon panics and to tries to slay Byleth one last time before ultimately meeting his demise, wishing [[Thales]] will be able to finish the group's work as he draws his last breath.
===Pre-games===
Solon is a senior member of [[those who slither in the dark]]. In Imperial year 1179, he infiltrated [[Garreg Mach Monastery]] under the identity of [[Tomas (Three Houses)|Tomas]], Garreg Mach's librarian, and kidnapped [[Monica]], a student of the [[Black Eagles]], sometime at the end of that year during a trip to her home.
 
===''Three Houses''===
Solon makes his first proper appearance in [[The Flame in the Darkness|Chapter&nbsp;8]], discarding his appearance as [[Tomas (Three Houses)|Tomas]] in a burning [[Remire Village]], revealing he had disguised himself just so he could obtain [[Flayn]]'s blood in order to further his group's agenda. Once defeated, Solon declares he had achieved the purpose of his experiments before teleporting away. He appears once again in [[Where the Goddess Dwells|Chapter&nbsp;10]], intercepting his fellow cult member [[Kronya]] who asks for his help with killing [[Byleth]]. Solon agrees, proceeding to ritually sacrifice Kronya against her will by ripping her heart out from her chest, performing the Forbidden Spell of Zaharas which trap Byleth in a realm of never ending darkness. While gloating over his victory, Byleth manages to break free after fusing with [[Sothis]]. Realizing what had just happened, Solon panics and to tries to slay Byleth one last time before ultimately meeting his demise, wishing [[Thales]] will be able to finish the group's work as he draws his last breath.


While it is never confirmed, story and NPC dialogue implies "those who slither in the dark" murdered the original Tomas sometime before the events of the story just so Solon could infiltrate [[Garreg Mach Monastery]] under the librarian's identity.
While it is never confirmed, story and character dialogue implies those who slither in the dark murdered the original Tomas sometime before the events of the story to facilitate Solon's infiltration, a theory which is shared by [[Seteth]].<ref>{{Cite|First Tomas, and now [[Monica]]. I do have a theory, though I admit it is nothing more than speculation. Both Tomas and Monica have each gone missing at one time or another. It was reported that when Monica returned from her disappearance, she began to act like a completely different person. As if, perhaps, the real Monica had been killed and replaced by an impostor. Thinking of it like that, it is possible that this Solon had been impersonating Tomas for some time.|Seteth in [[Where the Goddess Dwells|Chapter&nbsp;10]] during monastery exploration|Three Houses}}</ref>
 
===''Warriors: Three Hopes''===
{{sectstub}}
In early 1180, due to [[Monica]] being rescued and framing his Tomas persona for her kidnapping, Solon is forced to discard his disguise and escape Garreg Mach after being questioned by the Church's knights.

==Personality and character==
=={{FEH}}==
Solon is a sinister old mage with a perchant for schemes and tricks, lacking in empathy and thus having no qualms with sacrificing villagers and even his own co-workers for the sake of experiments. Like all on-screen Agarthans, he considers himself to be a member of Fódlan's master race and the surface-dwelling humans to be nothing but "beasts", all while proclaiming himself as their "savior". He is also loyal to Thales, and has faith he will be able to continue his group's mission without him. In contrast to his boss, Kronya and [[Cornelia]] however, Solon is also a fairly good impersonator, as he manages to mimic Tomas' mannerisms and personality perfectly, staying beneath suspicion for a long time in Garreg Mach up until he deliberately choses to reveal himself.
===Role===
Solon is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Night and Day (chapter)|Night and Day]] update, and was made available to players in the fifty-third [[Grand Hero Battle]], which initially ran from March 6, 2021 through an unknown date. Only one variation of Solon is currently available in ''Heroes'', based on his ''Three Houses'' incarnation.

|blurb3=Solon is particularly well learned. In fact, he even knows spells that no other mage in Fódlan has ever heard of!
