Sol

Sol is a long haired brown-and-tortoiseshell tom with pale yellow eyes.

Eclipse

 * Sol is first seen on WindClan territory by Hollypaw. Hollypaw seems to think he is a lion and calls Sorreltail, but Sorreltail confirms him as a cat, but too stocky and long haired to be WindClan. He seemed to be just standing there, watching the patrol. Later, Sol is found again, this time he is standing on the border, waiting for a patrol. The patrol brings him back to camp where he ask if he could stay but Firestar rejects but then he says he has some news. He goes out into the forest with Jaypaw and Leafpool. Sol tells them that darkness is coming, eventually meaning the eclipse. Foxpaw and Icepaw eavesdrop on this conversation, and they swear that they won't tell anyone. The rogue, or as he likes to be called, traveler, is taken back to camp and escorted to the WindClan border. Later, Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaw come to find him. He is sheltering in an abandoned Twoleg nest, just outside ShadowClan territory. Jaypaw asks him about the prophecy, which he seems to know about. He agrees to go back to ThunderClan territory, where the three siblings can make him a little nest. He was to be their mentor on the prophecy. After they had gone a little ways, a ShadowClan patrol captures them and takes them to ShadowClan camp. Sol seemed eager to go with them, and when they arrived he started asking Blackstar questions. Blackstar admitted that he was having second thoughts about living at the lake. Sol talks him into not believing in StarClan, saying they are just a bunch of dead cats. Sol accompanies Blackstar to a Gathering where they tell everyone that ShadowClan has given up on StarClan and won't be attending the gatherings from now on. Even though Sol is called a loner, he may as well be a rogue, as he has caused trouble in the Clans.

Long Shadows

 * Sol has pretty much taken over ShadowClan; Blackstar has even changed his name back to Blackfoot. He is seen teaching ShadowClan to forget StarClan and find answers inside themselves by Jaypaw, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze. But, with the help of Jaypaw, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Flamepaw, Tigerpaw, and Dawnpaw, and their fake sign from StarClan, ShadowClan drives Sol out. He shows up talking to Hollyleaf later, but she drives him away towards WindClan. It is unlikely that Sol has left for good, for when he talked with Hollyleaf he remarked, "You need me, Hollyleaf."

Sunrise

 * After Ashfur dies, ThunderClan tries to gather information on his death, and put the blame on Sol, who had been sighted at the WindClan border a few days before Ashfur's death. A patrol is sent out to follow him, and due to him having talked with Midnight before, they travel to the Sun-Drown-Place, but find that he isn't there. The patrol then goes to a nearby Twolegplace and find a group of cats that had once followed Sol. After a failed attempt at driving some dogs out, Sol had left the group of cats. The ThunderClan patrol moves on and finds Sol living with Purdy, an elderly tabby, at another Twoleg nest. Already knowing why they were there, Sol agrees to come with them, and invited by Brambleclaw, Purdy comes as well.


 * When they arrive back in ThunderClan, almost all the cats are convinced that Sol is Ashfur's murderer, though Sol doesn't appear to be bothered by their hostile glares. Firestar tries to question him about Ashfur's death, but Sol evades answering all of the questions. Since he wouldn't give them any answers, Sol is kept as a prisoner in ThunderClan, kept under constant guard.


 * Lionblaze sneaks into where Sol is being kept one night, believing that Sol still held the answers about the prophecy, and about his father. Sol is amused and refuses to do anything for him unless he gets repaid. So Lionblaze agrees to help him by escaping in exchange for information on the prophecy and who his father was. Sol then goes to the abandoned Twoleg nest near the ShadowClan border, refusing to give information unless Jayfeather and Hollyleaf were there. The three ask him about their father, although Lionblaze is more interested in learning about the prophecy. Hollyleaf gets angered by Sol taunting them and is about to attack him, when Lionblaze stops her. Jayfeather and Hollyleaf leave shortly afterward, leaving Lionblaze feeling frustrated. Sol realizes they are not yet ready to listen to him, but he knows they will come back.


 * Later, the three siblings return to the Twoleg nest once more to ask Sol about their father. Sol skirts around answering them, instead telling them how they can become more powerful. He shows them prey he had caught in ShadowClan territory for them to take back to Firestar and start a war with the rival Clan, and later drive ShadowClan out of their territory. Lionblaze then attacks Sol, realizing that he just wants to use their powers for his own benefit. Hollyleaf tries to stops him, but Lionblaze shakes her off, glaring at Sol, and saying that the prophecy was their power, not Sol's, to use. Jayfeather agrees, saying that the personal battle between Sol and ShadowClan was not their battle, and that the truth about their father existed elsewhere for them to find it. The two brothers leave, and after hesitating, Hollyleaf dashes out after them. Sol tries to call them back, asking them if they wanted to know who their father was, but they don't return.
