Solus

Solus
Solus is one of the major characters in Owlboy. He is one of Strix's students and is the classmate of Fib and Bonacci. He isn't very self-confident.

Description
Nervous, smart owl apprentice under Strix. Often carrying various scrolls, which are dropped whenever he trips.

Appearance
Solus is of average height, wearing a green tunic with red cuffs from the elbow to wrist. His owl cape is diagonally checkered black and white, with a gold lining that curls upwards at the ends of the cape in tapered strips. He wears a belt over his tunic, with a large blue stone in the middle of it. His trousers are cut off into knee high, tight red boots, which connect to a metal-toed shoe. His eyes are large and yellow, slightly downturned at the edges to give him a worried look. He's covered in white plumage, the top swept back shortly like hair. His cheeks and down his neck are dotted with the black speckled appearance female snowy owls have, despite being a male.

Personality
A nervous person, he's quiet and secretive and prefers to do things on his own. This often gets him into trouble, however, as he is rather clumsy and is ridiculed for being himself. He has a fairly bad stutter due to anxiety.

He is also surprisingly manipulative as he was able to deceive and, to a small extent, control the whole pirate army from the shadows. It was his treachery that lead to the destruction of Advent.

He can also be dangerous when pushed too far. This is proven in the Tower when he tried to kill Otus and his friends because he believed they were going to stop his plans and by extension destroy the world.

Otus
He does trust him, to an extent, but not enough to help him save the world. Perhaps this is because they are both very timid and constantly looked down upon, which may imply that they feel a sense of kinship. In the ending scene, he stated that he regards Otus as his one true friend.

Fib
A classmate who sometimes bullies him.

Bonacci
A classmate who sometimes bullies him.

Molstrom
Solus worked with Molstrom to acquire the owl relics for the anti-hex, manipulating the captain into doing his work with promises of power. He worked as an informant and guided Molstrom to the locations of each owl relic before enraging the pirate captain by stealing them and escaping to the Great Owl Library.

Trivia
He is modeled after a snowy owl
