=== Description ===

One of the six El Masters, and the one who abducted the El Lady on the day of the Harmony Festival. Born of Rubenian decent, Solace is a gifted user of El energy and a man with an ambitious view of what can be done for the future of Elrios. He longs for the days before his adopted sister was chosen to become the El Lady.

Solace, was a child of the Solace clan originally with the name Fenriart. He was born of a different mother than his siblings; his mother was a Rubenian, a bloodline scattered all across the continent with an extreme talent for manipulating El energy. Due to this, he became an outcast from all of his other siblings who grew jealous of his natural gift, especially his half-brother [[Sigmund]].

The events all started when he met his adopted sister [[Hernia]] in the castle garden. She had been beaten and bullied by [[Sigmund]]'s guard. Noticing that the jewel on [[Hernia]]'s necklace had gone missing, Fenriart faced the guards responsible and retrieved the jewel as well as demanding that they call his brother. This would not be the end of [[Sigmund]]'s abuse towards [[Hernia]] as the event would happen again. [[Hernia]] pleaded that he and [[Sigmund]] would not fight, which Fenriart agreed to on his mother's necklace. However, Fenriart would go back on his promise, facing his brother. The two locked swords and Fenriart was on the winning end. However, when Fenriart let his guard down, [[Sigmund]] took the opportunity to strike. [[Hernia]] suddenly stepped in and repelled [[Sigmund]]. When [[Hernia]] went to heal and apologize to Fenriart, their necklaces began to resonate with each other; this is when Fenriart realized that [[Hernia]] was a descendant of the Rubenian just like he was. Not wanting to concern [[Hernia]] he said that they should leave the area.

After that, [[Sigmund]] had kidnapped [[Hernia]] and Fenriart attempted to meet with her, but could not find her. Hearing his sister's cries, Fenriart caught [[Sigmund]] attempting to steal her El energy in order to become the most powerful El user in the family as well as become the Master of Sun in place of Fenriart. Refusing to allow [[Sigmund]] to harm [[Hernia]], Fenriart fired a powerful beam of El energy which fatally wounded [[Sigmund]], who soon collapsed dead. Fenriart rushed toward [[Hernia]]. The girl was concerned for the boy until she noticed that [[Sigmund]] had been killed. Fenriart was worried that the event would repeat itself as he believed his siblings would do the same. He planned with [[Hernia]] to run away on the Night of Ishmael when everybody else would be distracted by the arrival of the new El Lady.

As the Harmony Festival approaches, Solace meets with [[Denif]] about incidents surrounding the [[Hernia|El Lady]]. [[Denif]] tells Solace about the events of the previous [[Hernia|El Lady]] from a hundred years ago, when Henir zealots attacked the [[Hernia|El Lady]] and caused to the El to go on a rampage and nearly annihilate the continent. He was thankful that the events didn't quite repeat themselves and that the current [[Hernia|El Lady]] was unharmed. Solace asks [[Denif]] about these Henir zealots, [[Denif]] replies that they're a group of extremists who believe that Henir is the true god and wishes to eradicate anything not born from Henir, one of their main targets being the goddess serving under Elia, Ishmael. Solace grows concerned that the [[Hernia|El Lady]] may be attacked again, and not wanting her to become one with the El, he makes a plan to build a machine which stabilizes the El in her place.

Solace had planned this day for them (his sister and him) to leave. He had completed his machine, which in theory would separate the [[Hernia|El Lady]]'s tie to the El and stabilize it itself. [[Hernia]], however, admits that her memories are already becoming foggy, that much of the time she had spent with Fenriart had faded away, that even if she were to leave with Solace, she would only be a hollow shell of [[Hernia]]. She trusts Solace to make the right choice on the day of the festival.

With the El Lady gone and the El at its most unstable state, the El shattered in the catastrophic event known as the El Explosion. Solace and the [[Hernia|El Lady]] would only watch. Stricken by grief that she allowed the El to shatter, the [[Hernia|El Lady]] put herself into an eternal coma, until the El could be restored. Faintly, an unknown voice says "Haha... this isn't such a bad ending?"

Through unknown means, Solace made his way with an unconscious [[Hernia|El Lady]] to [[Elysion]]. Solace had arrived to [[Elysion]] during a meteor shower that was assaulting the city. He helped defend the city with his immense powers and protected it from the meteor shower with ease, to [[Adrian]] Nasod's amazement. Solace soon found himself taking refuge in [[Elysion]], [[Yuno & Nono|Herjuno]] however feeling suspicious of Solace. [[Adrian]], blinded by his fascination towards the [[Hernia|El Lady]], planned to replace [[Yuno & Nono|Herjuno]] with [[Herbaon]]. Solace and his goons, suspicious of [[Yuno & Nono|Herjuno]], attacked the boy and threw him off [[Elysion]] into [[Atlas Station|Atlas]]. After [[Yuno & Nono|Herjuno]] had been disposed of, Solace had requested a stay in [[10-5|Adrian's Palace]] as well as a hibernation capsule for himself and the [[Hernia|El Lady]]. [[Adrian]], eager to investigate the [[Hernia|El Lady]] for himself, gladly complied to Solace's demands.

Solace eventually heard of [[Adrian]]'s attempt to hack into the [[Hernia|El Lady]]'s hibernation pod and became outraged at [[Adrian]]. In a fit of rage, Solace decided to shut off [[10-5|Adrian's Palace]] by placing barriers not only preventing anybody from entering or exiting, but to also cut off any signals from entering of leaving the palace so his plans would not be jeopardized. With [[Adrian]] trapped and returning to his slumber, Solace found his way to the city's main power supply and rerouted it to his base.

While in [[Elysion]], Solace came into contact with an [[Elysion]] Nasod named [[Dekal]], who would begin to work under Solace. Requiring high quality Diceon ore, Solace sent [[Dekal]] down to [[Atlas Station|Atlas]] in order to steal supplies of Diceon to be shipped directly to Solace.

While the El Search Party made their way to the Diceon Research Lab in [[10-1|Diceon Mines]], they found themselves confronting [[Dekal]] in the middle of a transmission with Solace.

While the El Search Party traveled through the [[10-4|Celestial Crossroads]], [[Elsword]] felt a dark presence in the air, followed by [[Elesis]] who got a severe headache. [[Chung]] soon pointed out a strange sigil in the distance. Little did they know, the sigil was Solace. Solace stated his surprise that [[Elsword]] had made it so far, and commends [[Elsword]] for coming. However, he said that they had come too early, too weak. He offered to let them live if they abandon their mission right then. He scoffed at them still playing with their childish El Search Party. [[Elesis]] firmly refused Solace's negotiation. Certain that he won't sway the El Search Party, Solace's projection disappears and the two statues guarding the city of [[Elysion]] in the [[10-4|Celestial Crossroads]], Herna Orb and Herna Shield, come to life under the influence of Solace.

After witnessing the [[10-7|Halted Sun's Memory]], it was just [[Elsword]] and Solace. Solace knew that [[Elsword]] was well aware of the events that were soon to follow. [[Elsword]] wanted to know what Solace wanted. Solace asked [[Elsword]] what he felt when viewing through his memories, and told him that [[Hernia]] had locked herself in her coma-like state since the El Explosion. Solace revealed that he believes that the world shouldn't have to rely on the El. [[Elsword]] replies to him that the world needs the El to survive, that they've been trying to find the El Lady to restore peace to the world, back to when the El wasn't destroyed. He told [[Elsword]] that if she was able to restore the El, she would only be fated to become a component of it. Solace told [[Elsword]] that he has the power to change the future, that he has an unparalleled ability to resonate with the El. [[Elsword]] was reluctant to stray from his friends and comrades. Solace told him that if he wishes for the El to be restored, the events will simply repeat themselves with [[Elesis]] becoming the new [[Hernia|El Lady]]. Solace revealed that he aimed to create a world where one major El doesn't exist, that he wanted to connect [[Ruben]]'s El and the six major El's as well as the energy of the people to create a world where they don't have to depend on El. [[Elsword]] was uncertain such a radical plan would work, however Solace said that the choice is up to [[Elsword]], as he is the Guardian of El. He could defeat Solace and wish the El be restored, and have the cycle repeat itself starting with [[Elesis]], or break such a vicious cycle and try to create a new world. Solace commented that [[Elsword]] and his friends had bested countless foes and rivaled Demon Generals, but they did not do so with their power alone, but with the bonds they've forged with everybody they've met, that a small chosen minority cannot change the world, but that all life can. Solace left the choice for [[Elsword]], the option he believes will benefit all of Elrios.

While investigating from [[Elysion]], Solace felt a change in the Henir energy in [[Elrianode]]. While the barrier surrounding the area should remain stable being a natural phenomenon, he felt that something was causing the Henir energy to react. Following his suspicions he made his way to [[11-3|Elrianode City]]. There he observed the Spatio Reaper and its ability to rip fissures and summon monsters which became enhanced by the presence of Henir.

While the El Search Party were fending off onslaughts of monsters in [[11-3|Elrianode City]], things started to look bad. The monsters were getting more powerful and were soon to overwhelm the group. Just when things were about to take a turn for the worst, Solace swooped in and protected the group, much to their surprise. The group wondered why he was in [[Elrianode]] and he reported his findings. He also tells the group as they expected, [[Henir's Order]] are the ones behind it. Evaluating the way the monsters are acting, Solace grows suspicious that they may be planning something greater than what it seen at face value. [[Raven]] speculates that the monsters are a mere distraction, which Solace doesn't rule out as a possibility. [[Chung]] insists on stopping the monsters in the city first and closing off the fissures, Solace agrees and suggest they check out the biggest fissure in the area. He tells the group to go and he'll protect the after leading to the El Tower, as his duty as an El Master. He tells the group to keep his presence in [[Elrianode]] a secret to the other Masters, not feeling ready to confront them.

By the time the El Search Party secured [[11-3|Elrianode City]], Solace had already made his way out. He headed back to [[Elysion]] to regroup with [[Hernia]].

After the battle for the El Tower was over and the monsters began to dwindle. [[Denif]] told [[Hernia]] that she and Solace should leave [[Elrianode]], to live their own lives. [[Ventus]] agrees and nudges the two. Solace and [[Denif]] were annoyed by his crudeness but [[Denif]] lets it slide just this once.

Solace and [[Hernia]] find themselves by themselves having left [[Elrianode]] and the lives they once had as El Master and El Lady behind. The two worry about each other but they both feel happy that they have one another. [[Hernia]] tells Solace that it took a long time to finally be by Fenriart's side again, and she thanks him for waiting all this time. Solace tells [[Hernia]] that she no longer has to wait. The two journey together.
