Chief Opposer Sire Solon was, in essence, a defense lawyer and investigator; conjecturally aged in his 50s.
Solon was The Fleet's prosecuting opposition who attempted to confirm Starbuck's guilt in the termination of the widely disliked Flight Sergeant Ortega. He was quite certain that Starbuck was guilty. as everything did add up. With Cassiopeia -- at different times than one another -- both attempted to get Starbuck to plead that Ortega's death was the result of self-defense, given that Ortega's laser was drawn. However, Starbuck chose not to accept, as a life-sentence and being unable to serve the military amounted to the same thing. Solon also attempted to make Starbuck's conviction certain in front of the entire Fleet by stating thus with a high-level of certainty.
The overheard testimony to the crime by Karibdis (alias Pallon) proved Starbuck's innocence in the matter; Solon took it professionally, at any rate. (Murder on the Rising Star)
Portrayed by Brock Peters
