Solon (Japanese:ソロンSolon) is a character appearing inFire Emblem: Three Houses andFire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. He is a member ofthose who slither in the dark.

Biography

Pre-games

Solon is a senior member ofthose who slither in the dark. In Imperial year 1179, he infiltratedGarreg Mach Monastery under the identity ofTomas, Garreg Mach's librarian, and kidnappedMonica, a student of theBlack Eagles, sometime at the end of that year during a trip to her home.

Three Houses

Solon makes his first proper appearance inChapter 8, discarding his appearance asTomas in a burningRemire Village, revealing he had disguised himself just so he could obtainFlayn'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 inChapter 10, intercepting his fellow cult memberKronya who asks for his help with killingByleth. 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 withSothis. Realizing what had just happened, Solon panics and to tries to slay Byleth one last time before ultimately meeting his demise, wishingThales will be able to finish the group's work as he draws his last breath.

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 bySeteth.^[3]

There is one variation of Solon available inHeroes.

Personality

Solon is a sinister old mage with a penchant for schemes and tricks, lacking in empathy and having no qualms with sacrificing villagers and other Agarthans for the sake of experiments.^[4][5] 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", proclaiming himself as their "savior".^[6] Solon is also loyal to Thales, and has faith he will be able to continue the Agarthans' mission without him.^[7] In contrast to Thales, Kronya, andCornelia however, Solon is also a fairly good impersonator, as he manages to mimic Tomas's mannerisms and personality perfectly, staying beneath suspicion in Garreg Mach up until he deliberately choses to reveal himself.^[8][9]
