"An exchange student from the human world. Known as the wise one, he is the most powerful sorcerer who can command 72 demons."
Solomon is one of the two humans, along with MC, sent to take part in the exchange program and is first introduced in Lesson 2-2. He is one of the main characters in Obey Me! One Master to Rule Them All that is also involved in the intimacy system of the game, therefore, users can interact and raise their relationship with him.
Appearance[]
Solomon has layered, whitish silvery hair with bangs that curl toward the left, blue eyes with a brown gradient, and a fair complexion.
Personality[]
Solomon presents himself as confident and knowledgeable. Despite presumably only arriving in the Devildom recently, he exudes confidence in his actions and seems to understand most of what goes on in the school. His confidence may also be a result of his magic, which is said by Lucifer to be quite powerful.
When first meeting him, he already knows MC's name and can come off as somewhat arrogant. Being the other human exchange student, it is understandable that he would wish to build a good rapport with his human associate.
Despite being a composed person, Solomon takes joy in teasing Luke, which makes Simeon frequently tell him to go easier on him. He also finds amusement in the brothers' antics, much to their dismay.

Story[]
Note: this section may include spoilers
Background[]
In Lesson 36-C, Solomon admits that he doesn't remember his own age. He mentions that after 200 years or so humans begin to forget how old they actually are.
In the Devilgram Guided by Desire, it's confirmed he has pacts with seventy-two demons in total, two of which are Asmodeus and Barbatos. He's expressed interest in making pacts with Belphegor and Lucifer (the latter especially), though both of them refused. Mammon is the only one of the brothers he doesn't want to enter a pact with.
In Nightbringer Lesson 14-14, Solomon mentions that he was born in a country where magic was considered sinister and was condemned. He talks about how people would be branded as a heretic, locked up, and executed if there was even a slight rumor that they used magic. Solomon was able to use magic before he was even old enough to understand what it was. He was only able to do minor things with his magic and considered himself no different from any other person. However, his parents had a different opinion. If anyone found out about him, then his entire family would suffer. So, his parents told everyone that Solomon had a serious illness and kept him from coming into contact with anyone outside the house. Solomon's room was a dark basement with a small latticed window. The room was dim and gloomy except for the view outside that window. Solomon would always stare out that window. One day, he was watching someone who seemed lost when they suddenly noticed him and let out a loud shriek in surprise. Solomon was just as surprised as they were. They became friends and they ended up talking for a long time until his new friend's family member showed up. After that, this friend would come to visit him from time to time and they'd spend hours chatting through the bars of his window. In Nightbringer Lesson 14-16, Solomon says that he doesn't have the courage to tell the rest of this story just yet, so it's unknown what happened to this friend. However, Solomon does mention that he made a promise to his friend that he would become a good sorcerer no matter what.
In Nightbringer Lesson 14-16, Solomon also mentions the reason why he wants to make so many pacts with demons. He says that he wants to become a great sorcerer who works to protect humankind as part of his promise to his friend. Solomon says that he wants to make many pacts, so that he can have powers on par with any angel or demon. He wants to become powerful to convince angels and demons to consider humans as their equals and not as puppets that they can manipulate as they please.
Main Story and Events[]
In Lesson 23-5, he reveals that it is his second time visiting the Celestial Realm.
Relationships[]
Note: this section may include spoilers
Main Character[]
The relationship between MC and Solomon is slow to develop. He occasionally helps MC during their initial stay in the Devildom by giving them advice or assistance, such as when he temporarily lends MC some of his powers in Lesson 8. At the start of season three (Lesson 41), MC is under the apprenticeship of Solomon in studying the magical arts. He offered to help teach MC because he wants to help them learn to use the pacts they have to be able to summon demons.
Though he can be cryptic and keep his interests to himself, there are times that he shows an interest in strengthening his connection with MC, like in Lesson 46 when he booked twin rooms for himself, MC, Beelzebub, and Belphegor while they are within the Devil's Quest game. When pressed, he admitted that he wanted to be the one that MC shares a room with.
Leviathan[]
Solomon and Leviathan are friends due to their mutual interest in the "The Tale of the Seven Lords" series. They also bonded over video games. In the chat How to Beat the House of Sorrow, Solomon mentioned that he was currently playing "House of Sorrow", per Levi's recommendation. In the chat Purgatory Hall Dogi☆Maji 2, Solomon mentioned that Levi lent him Dogi☆Maji 2.
In the chat Anklet, Solomon mentioned that Levi taught him how to make anklets.
Satan[]
Solomon and Satan share a love of cats which they often talk about in their groupchat Cat(3). However, this is not all they talk about. In the groupchat, Satan also often wants to talk about TV shows and invites Solomon and MC out to a café so they can discuss the episodes. While Satan is excited to share his thoughts, Solomon seems to view these conversations as a hassle.
Solomon respects Satan's intellectual abilities. In the chat The Intellectual Group, Solomon was impressed by Satan when he picked up on a mistranslation in the history book they are supposed to read for their group project. In the chat An Ancient Text, it is revealed that Solomon taught Satan how to read ancient writing from the Human World. Solomon brought home an ancient book of magic from the human world because he remembered that Satan told him he wanted to read it, signifying that he pays attention to Satan's interests.
Solomon is also somewhat protective of Satan. In the chat Documentaries are Awesome 2, Solomon shared a photo that Mammon sent him. Satan explained that he had just watched a documentary featuring large, parasitic insects. In a follow-up chat, Documentaries are Awesome 3, Solomon said that he deleted the photo from Mammon's D.D.D. in order to preserve Satan's dignity, and that he planned to make an enhanced insect repellent.
Asmodeus[]
While Asmodeus is one of many demons that Solomon has a pact with, he typically behaves in a friendly manner toward Asmodeus, who sometimes turns to Solomon with his problems or plans. Even when he disagrees with his solutions, Solomon can't seem to say no to Asmodeus, as shown in Guided by Desire's Devilgram, where Solomon lied to Lucifer for Asmodeus's sake.
In Nightbringer Lesson 6-18, Solomon says that he first met Asmodeus in a tavern in his hometown. Asmodeus was drunk and sobbing uncontrollably because he was rejected by a human that he was interested in. Solomon felt sorry for him, so he decided to try talking to him. However, he immediately regretted doing that. But, in the end, Solomon was able to form a pact with Asmodeus as Asmodeus' judgment was really impaired due to being drunk.
In Nightbringer Lesson 17-3, Solomon gives more details about the night he met Asmodeus. He says he decided to stop by a random tavern to have a drink. When Solomon arrived, Asmodeus was already drunk and was trying to force his way into the conversations of other customers at the tavern. So, everyone there was trying to avoid Asmodeus. Asmodeus fell asleep for a moment which is when Solomon came into the tavern. Solomon sat down next to Asmodeus unaware of who he was or what just happened. Right when Solomon sat down, Asmodeus woke up and exclaimed how handsome Solomon was to Solomon's confusion. Asmodeus explained to Solomon that he was dreaming about how a hunk was sitting next to him and was surprised to see an actual hunk sitting next to him when he woke up. Solomon is silent as Asmodeus rambles on about how beautiful he is and how he thinks Solomon wanted to flirt with him. Solomon mumbles about how he just wanted to drink in peace, but ended up sitting next to the wrong person. Asmodeus continues flirting with Solomon and Solomon suggests that Asmodeus has already had enough to drink and that he should call it a night and go home. At first, Asmodeus claims that he's fine, but he admits that he feels like he needs to drink just to keep himself together right now.
He then starts to sob and wail. Solomon agrees to let him vent out his problems if he agrees to stop crying since he doesn't want the other customers to misunderstand that he's making Asmodeus cry. Asmodeus starts talking about how he was in a relationship with a human, but then some sorcerer or priest or exorcist showed up and chased him away. He remarks that it's awful to break up a happy couple. Solomon then comments on how he thought Asmodeus' outfit was some kind of carnival outfit and proceeds to ask if he's not human. Asmodeus proceeds to ask if Solomon can see his true form and admits that he's one of the seven rulers of the Devildom, the Avatar of Lust. Asmodeus then says he's just kidding and that Solomon probably finds that hard to believe. Solomon says it's definitely hard to believe. He then proceeds to butter up Asmodeus by saying it's hard to believe that this person chased him off even though he's so magnificent and charming. Asmodeus wasn't expecting that response and remarks how Solomon is the complete package (he's handsome and listens to what Asmodeus says). Solomon says he's not sure about that, but that he is very lucky as he walked into a random bar, sat down in a random seat, and found himself next to Asmodeus. He then tells Asmodeus to tell him more about himself. They ended up hitting it off and sat there talking for hours. Asmodeus took a liking to Solomon and tried to charm him using his powers, but Solomon was able to convince Asmodeus to forge a pact with him instead. Solomon told Asmodeus that if he makes a pact with him, then he'll always be there to remind him how great he is forever and ever. These words convinced Asmodeus and he made a pact with Solomon. Asmodeus was sobered up by the next day and was surprised when Solomon showed him the pact.
In Nightbringer Lesson 17-5, Solomon admits that he forged a contract with Asmodeus from the past.
Nightbringer[]
In Nightbringer Lesson 10-A, Solomon mentions that he has some kind of agreement with "him" (which may refer to Nightbringer). He also talks with Nightbringer and mentions that it was Nightbringer who made him who he is today.
