He was once a member of the Sacred Order of the Holy Knights, and this appearance was featured in another ] named {{nihongo|'''Order-Sol'''|聖騎士団ソル|Seikishidan Soru}}. | |||
| Sol Badguy, whose real name is '''Frederick Bulsara''', was named after ]'s nickname, "Mr. Bad Guy", by ], the series' creator, who also provided his voice in the video games. Despite being criticized as a generic fictional character, ] compared his relationship with his main rival, ], to that of other notable video game characters. Sol's fighting abilities and the choice of his name were also the subject of reviewers, receiving both praise and criticism. | |||
| ==Creation and design== | |||
| Creator Daisuke Ishiwatari designed Sol in many ways as his alter ego, and also recorded Sol's in-game voice (the voice actor for ''Guilty Gear X2'''s story mode and drama CDs, however, is done by ]). Ishiwatari's favorite band is ], and he put in Sol's profile that he is a fan of Queen,<ref>{{cite book | year = 2002 | |||

| ==Appearances== | |||
| Introduced in the first installment of the series (1998), Frederick was one of the lead scientists of the Gear project, as well as being the prototypical Gear, dating from over a hundred years before the events of the ''Guilty Gear'' games. As a prototype, he is immune to the orders of Commander Gears. He was personally acquainted with Asuka R. Kreutz (typically known as That Man) prior to the Crusades. As Frederick, Sol created the "Outrage", which he called a supreme Anti-Gear weapon. The Outrage has eight components called "Jinki" (Godlike Weapons), which greatly amplify their wielders' magical ability. Later, he was himself recruited into the order, as a bounty hunter named Sol Badguy. Sol took part in the Crusades, during which he was a member of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights (Seikishidan), acquiring the nickname {{nihongo|"Flame of Corruption"|背徳の炎|Haitoku no Honō}}. However, he later became disenchanted with the methods of the Sacred Order, and fled the order, taking with him the {{nihongo|Fūenken|封炎剣||Fireseal}}. The theft earned him Ky Kiske's enmity.<ref name="gg">{{cite video game|developer=]|title=]|publisher=]|date=1998|platform=]}}</ref> | |||
| In 2175, Sol faced ] directly. During the fight, which Justice won, she discovered that Sol was a Gear. Justice attempted to assert her power as a Commander Gear to control Sol, but was unable to do so. Exploiting her confusion and weakness from the fight, the Holy Order, led by Ky, sealed Justice away, bringing the war to an end. However, a Gear named ] began a plan to free ], and to stop it, the Union of Nations held a tournament. The canon stated that Sol was the winner of the Tournament, which also resulted in Justice discovering that Sol was, in fact, Frederick. Justice, in her dying words, commented that she wished that "...the three of us..." could talk one last time, and Sol swore to kill Asuka.<ref name="gg"/> | |||
| In '']'' (2000), Sol has three endings, all of which involve a fight against ], who has a half-million dollar bounty on her head. However, he spares her life in all of them, losing against her in his second ending, and judging that she is not a threat to the world in the other two.<ref>{{cite video game|developer=]|title=]|publisher=]|date=2001|platform=]}}</ref> | |||
| In the subsequent game, '']'' (2002), his story-line involved chasing down ]. In his first ending, his defeat of I-No led to a direct confrontation with Asuka, who casually deflected all of Sol's attacks, saying that Sol was needed because soon a greater battle than the Crusades will occur. In Sol's second ending, ] informed him of the ]'s interest in Dizzy. In the third ending, he fought Dizzy, who had been possessed by Necro, after I-No knocked her off the Mayship, and sent Dizzy on her way to meet Johnny and May.<ref>{{cite video game|developer=]|title=]|publisher=]|date=2003|platform=]}}</ref> | |||
| In '']'' (2008), Sol had two endings. In one, I-No threw him back in time to fight his past self, Order-Sol. After both are weakened from the battle, I-No reappeared to murder ], which, in turn, caused Sol's present form to cease existing. In his other ending, the same set of events played out, but Sol's present form, strangely, is unaffected by his past self's death. After escaping the time rift, Ky confronted and engaged him in battle. After the fight, Sol and Ky finally settled their differences and went their separate ways, with Ky asking Sol to promise that they will meet again. Though it was referenced in both Sol and Ky's endings, only Sol's told the events directly after the battle, which implied that Sol was the victor.<ref>{{cite video game|developer=]|title=]|publisher=]|date=2008|platform=]}}</ref> | |||
| In '']'' (2007), Sol Badguy took in a young man named ] as his apprentice, and traveled the world with him as bounty hunters. During their journey, he met ], who told him that a man called Vizel was seeking out and destroying Gears, by order of ], and that his next target was the kingdom of Illyria. Sol, Sin, and Izuna go to Illyria and find Ky Kiske trapped with a binding spell. With ]'s help they were able to release him. Eventually, they captured Valentine, who transformed herself into a monster. Sol fought her, and after the fight, he found himself in a white space, unable to return. However, he was confronted by That Man, who confirmed that Valentine was a copy of Aria, Sol's former lover. Sol was returned to the real world, where he reunited with his allies.<ref>{{cite video game|developer=]|title=]|publisher=]|date=2007|platform=]}}</ref> | |||
| In '']'' (2014), Sol continued his journeys with Sin when ] declared war on humanity. Working alongside Ky, Sin, ], and ], Sol fought to stop the Conclave from using the Cradle to resurrect Justice and destroy humanity. In the end, Sol and his allies were able to stop Justice from reviving, but Elphelt betrayed them and tried to kill them. She was eventually taken to the Backyard, and Sol, Sin and Ramlethal set out to find her.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ggxrd.com/character/|title=Character – Guilty Gear Xrd Portal Site|publisher=Ggxrd.com|access-date=August 3, 2013|language=Japanese|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130804232359/http://ggxrd.com/character/|archive-date=August 4, 2013}}</ref> | |||
| In ''Xrd -REVELATOR-'' (2016), Sol was confronted by Raven, who told him that That Man needed his help in preventing Elphelt from merging with Justice. Before the final battle against Ariels, Sol attempted to claim he is not related to Dizzy, due to her mother being Justice, who was once Aria. His allies began to theorize his connection with the two female Gears, which caused Ky—Dizzy's husband—and Sol to scream out in horror at the supposed revelation that the two rivals are in-laws. After Ariels' defeat, Jack-O took Elphelt’s place and fused with Justice, becoming a reincarnated Aria, and Sol revealed to his allies That Man’s true identity—Asuka R. Kreutz. | |||
| In the epilogue storyline added in ''Xrd REV 2'' (2017), Sol visited Ky's manor, where he challenged Ky to a duel. As Ky noticed Sol’s fighting intent, they took their discussion outside the manor to speak privately. While recalling their days as members of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights, Sol mocked Ky, claiming that he held back every time they fought, despite him not doing so when he battled Gears. He further remarked that Dizzy was a “monster”, just like himself, angering Ky, who then entered a frenzied rage and managed to overpower Sol in combat. As Sol lied in a newly-formed crater, Sol explained that he had a score to settle with Asuka, with Ky asking him about it. Unbeknownst to them, at the same time they spoke, Asuka turned himself in to the United States government. | |||
| Sol returns as a main protagonist in '']'' (2021). Despite becoming a legendary hero since the previous event, Sol remains a bounty hunter, now accompanied by a fully recovered Jack-O, and the nation often goes to Ky to message Sol for urgent matters. Having had taken a request from a weakened Ariels to stop I-No, Sol realizes that Happy Chaos, a demon-like sorcerer who possessed Ariels body and formerly Asuka's mentor known as The Original had been manipulating entire events alongside I-No herself. Sol's healing power as a Gear becomes slower, due to being shot by Chaos with the same material which created Nagoriyuki's katanas. He arrives at Washington as guest of the White House during a peace meeting with Asuka, where the Gear Maker is targeted by Chaos and I-No for the possession of the Tome of Origin. Sol’s story concludes as he lets Asuka remove the Flame of Corruption from him to restore his humanity. Despite the Flame of Corruption's removal being on a bad timing when Chaos fused with I-No into a godlike being, Sol manages to kill a godlike I-No, with the help of Ky, Axl, and a redeemed Nightless samurai Nagoriyuki. He also saves Jack-O from sacrificing herself to stop I-No, having had finally found peace with her due to not only she is now Aria reincarnate, but she fully inherited Aria’s original kindness. With I-No’s demise, Sol, now going by his original name, goes off the grid and opens a shop with Jack-O at the abandoned space station Iseo, with the governments declaring him (or rather, his Sol alias) legally dead. | |||
