History
El Master and the Harmony Festival

After the Nasod War ended and the El Lady restored the diminishing El, six powerful Ellians were appointed as the masters of the six types of elemental El, fire, water, earth, wind, sun, and moon. Solace was appointed as the Master of the Sun. Alongside his fellow El Masters, they sought to find the new El Lady and did so. From then onward, Solace governed his land and brought the people of Elrios the prosperity of the Sun.

Every three years, during the Harmony Festival, when all life in Elrios is at peace with one another, the El Masters actual are at work the hardest during this time. While the Sun and the Moon are one in the sky the El is at its most unstable and the El Masters and El Lady do their best to keep the El in balance. However, everything changed one Harmony Festival. It is said that Solace felt sympathy towards the El Lady who had to watch over the El. He attacked the El Tower and disappeared with the El Lady never to be seen in Elrios ever again. Solace's followers soon disputed with the guards of the tower soon after the incident but the El began to become unstable. Among the chaos of the situation the worst was just about to come, the El exploded and shattered into thousands due to Solace and the El Lady being absent.

Solace in Elysion

Through unknown means, Solace made his way with an unconscious El Lady to Elysion. Solace had arrived to Elysion during a meteor shower assaulting the city, he helped defend the city with his immense powers, he protected the city from the meteor shower with eases to Adrian Nasod's amazement. Solace soon found himself taking refuge in Elysion, Herjuno however felt suspicious of Solace. Adrian however blinded by his fascination towards the El Lady planned to replace Herjuno with Herbaon. Solace and his goons suspicious of Herjuno, attacked the boy and threw him off Elysion into Atlas. After Herjuno had been disposed of, Solace had requested a stay in Adrian's Abode as well as a hibernation capsule of himself and the El Lady. Adrian eager to investigate the El Lady for himself gladly complied to Solace's demands.

Solace eventually heard wind of Adrian's attempt to hack into the El Lady's hibernation pod and became outraged at Adrian. In a fit of rage, Solace decided shut off Adrian's Abode by placing barriers not only blocking off 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.

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 in order to steal supplies of Diceon to be shipped directly to Solace.

Chapter 21: The Other Dimensional World

While the El Search Party made their way to the Diceon Research Lab in Diceon Mines, they found themselves confronted by Dekal in the middle of a transmission with Solace.

Chapter 23: What's Happening in Elysion? While the El Search Party traveled through the Celestial Crossroads, Elsword feels a dark presence in the air followed by Elesis getting 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. He commends Elsword for coming this far however says that they had come too early, too weak. He offers to let them life if they abandon their mission right then. He scoffs at them still playing with their childish El Search Party. Elesis firmly refuses 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 Celestial Crossroads, Herna Over and Herna Shield come to life under the influence of Solace.

Abilities

 * Teleport: Solace can blink across the map at will.
 * Mana Break: Solace can mana break, much like players, allowing him to avoid soaking in attacks and even gives him a few moments of invisibility just like players. This does not actually decrease his MP and he will use this very frequently.
 * Slash Combo: Perform several consecutive slashes finishing by launching targets.
 * Sword Fall Combo: Summon multiple swords which will strike the ground at a diagonal angle. He will follow up with a series of slashes launching players into the air then sending a series of swords flying forwards.
 * Rising Slashes: Solace will create a suction vortex dealing multiple hits then cause a blade to pierce out of the ground in front and behind himself. After he may summon six more blades in a circle around himself. He may follow that by sending two large flaming blades outwards across the map.
 * Rising Wave: Summon three swords in front of himself.

Judgement

 * Mark of Judgement: When a player fails a [Judgement] move, they will be inflicted with a debuff that reduces their damage and speed and adds one gauge to the mark. When a player clears a [Judgement] move successfully, they will gain a buff that increases their damage and speed and removes one gauge from the mark. When the mark is filled completely, Solace will burn HP from any player that attacks him, equal to a certain amount of the damage inflicted.
 * [Judgement] Confusion Stigma: Solace will inflict players with a sigil that counts down until it explodes. The player fails the attack if the sigil overlaps with the player upon exploding.
 * [Judgement] Darkness Flame: Solace will warp to the center of the stage, summoning 3 Dark Scabbards to the left and 3 Light Scabbards to the right. If Solace is allowed to recover 3 of these scabbards, the player fails the attack and he will cause a stage wide explosion dealing massive damage to everyone. If the player prevents this by destroying the scabbards or keeping him occupied by having him attack you, Solace will be weakened for a period of time allowing you to deal damage to him uninterrupted.
 * [Judgement] Ignition Lane: Solace sends dark swords up from the ground, knocking players up and binding them in the air. He will then warp to the center of the stage while causing the swords to fall back down and embed themselves into the ground. Solace will then detonate the swords causing a huge pillar of fire to erupt from the ground. The bind can be escaped by tapping the directional keys quickly. The player fails the attack if they are hit by the pillars of fire. One of the two flotation devices on either side of the stage will activate allowing the player to jump out of reach.

Phase 2
Solace is able to use all the abilities from Phase 1 with the exception of [Judgement] Darkness Flame. The remaining [Judgement] moves will also no longer add or remove a gauge from the [Mark of Judgement] but the buff and debuff will still apply.
 * Final Trial: Solace immediately fills up all the gauges of the [Mark of Judgement] upon the start of the phase, burning HP from players as before. Players are given a 60 second time limit to attack Solace and deal as much damage as possible. Upon reaching 0, the gauge is cleared and the player "loses" the fight, but can still clear the dungeon by defeating him afterward.
 * Space of the Black Sun: Upon reaching 4 bars of health within the initial 60 seconds of the fight, Solace's [Mark of Judgement] will grant him full immunity to any source of damage for the remainder of the initial 60 second timer, and will be removed once it reaches 0.
