Biography
Solon had infiltrated the Garreg Mach Monastery under the guise of Tomas, pretending to be a faithful follower of the Church of Seiros. Tomas was the Monastery's librarian for over 40 years. Sometime after he had retired from his job, Solon killed him and assumed his identity to infiltrate the Monastery. Using his position, he was able to learn much from the books stored in the library and has intimate knowledge of the Monastery's affairs. His identity is revealed after controlling the denizens of Remire Village. Later on, he kills Kronya, using her as part of a spell that banishes Byleth into the dark world. After Byleth breaks free, he battles against the party one last time before his death.

Solon appears in Byleth's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. A similar scene happens as he casts the forbidden spell of Zahras to banish Byleth to the void, the same spell he used in a similar fashion through Kronya's sacrifice. However, there are a few differences; Sothis suggests to Byleth that they join Super Smash Bros., and when they return from the void, Solon's reaction is slightly altered so that instead of saying "So the fell star consumes even the darkness itself", he says, "So joining Smash consumes even the darkness itself." Also, when Female Byleth arrives with the relics of the house leaders, he is left in speechless shock in response.
