Solomon Goldsmith

Solomon Goldsmith was Diva's fourth chevalier. However, he later betrayed her in hope of securing his love for Saya.

Human Form
Solomon is of French descent and one of the most charming characters in the series. Owning handsome attributes like a kind, gentle smile, he is shown to be the eye-catcher of every woman in any gathering. He has pale skin, light green eyes, and wavy pale blond hair. His ever smiling face displays his peaceful nature. However, his eyes turn glowing red whenever he gets serious and fights using his chiropteran abilities while in human form.

Chiropteran Form
Solomon has blond hair falling over his shoulders and glowing red eyes while in his chiropteran form. Unlike his brothers and most chiropterans, he has doesn't posses a maw of razor sharp fangs, instead owning very few small sharp teeth. He has dark beige skin, long pointy ears, and bat-like wings that are reminiscent of a wyvern. He uses his full transformation twice: rescuing Saya and Kai from James and fighting with Hagi in New York. Normally, he uses a partial transformation of his right hand, starting from the fingertips which transforms into a bluish blade to fight.

Attire

 * He wears an all-white suit with a blue rose in the breast pocket while he serves as Diva's chevalier.


 * After he betrays Diva and is disowned, he changes his suits to black symbolizing his loyalty to the opposite queen, Saya.


 * During his time as a medical doctor he wore a white suit with a vest and long jacket.

Background
Solomon is a blood relative of Amshel and thus related to the Goldschmidt family of France. He worked as a medical doctor during the Russian Revolution. The constant bloodshed in war terrified him and he wanted a war-free life.

Becoming a Chevalier
Solomon was introduced to Diva by Amshel in 1917 during the Russian Revolution. At this time, he became one of her chevaliers, after which he wears only white clothing as a symbol of his being Diva's chevalier because it was what he was wearing when he met her.

Solomon helps Amshel to bring in and forcibly turn Karl into Diva's next chevalier; feeling guilty for the pressure on Karl's mind that the forced conversion has created, Solomon decides to watch over Karl and forges a brotherly bond with him. During the second World War, they both served as officers for the Allied Forces.

Meeting Saya in Vietnam
He was first introduced to her as a delightful young man at the ball in her Vietnam school, and danced his only dance with her. After the dance he apologized, telling her that he had only asked her as she was the only girl who wasn't staring at him. He did not discover who she was until later.

In New York
Solomon's love for Saya only continued to grow as the series progressed, bringing him into conflict with his chevalier brothers and with Diva. Solomon eventually decides that he simply cannot kill Saya or continue to support Diva's efforts to do so, and wants to live with her as someone who loves her. While Amshel thinks Solomon's love for Saya is just part of his instinct as a chevalier, Solomon disagrees and knows he loves Saya as himself. Diva disowns him and tells him to do whatever he wants. As a sign of his no longer being a chevalier, Solomon stops wearing his signature white suits, instead switching to black ones.

At the Penthouse
Solomon kidnaps Saya after saving her from Amshel. He takes her to his penthouse apartment. There he confesses his love for her and asks her to marry him. He promises to take her to a land where there's no war and even kill Diva for her. He soothes her feelings with his words and is about to kiss her but Hagi interrupts. Solomon tries to kill Hagi but Saya's fall triggers his opponent to partially transform, outmatching his speed. Saya remembers her promise to Hagi and gently rejects Solomon. Afterwards, Solomon briefly sinks into a depressed mood.

Bond Beyond Blood
Nathan visits Solomon and takes him to visit Diva and the babies, but Solomon uses the opportunity to try to kill her. Diva easily defeats him and he is imprisoned at the mansion. James taunts him by promising to kill Saya and bring her head in front of him. Amshel tells Nathan to kill him, but Nathan frees him instead. Solomon rushes to save Saya from James, but during the battle he is accidentally cut by Saya's sword coated in her blood. He proclaims his allegiance to Saya as her chevalier once more, then leaves.

Death
In an alley, he begins to crystallize. Yet he attempts to attack Amshel who is also present there but fails as he shatters while his brother Amshel watches. It is unknown as to whether Saya ever learned of his death as no one is shown telling her.

Personality
Unlike his brothers, Solomon is a peace loving person. He is also the only one who can calm Diva down. James taunts him with comments such as, "Diva's Favorite" and "Beautiful Boy".

At the time he becomes a chevalier, he wanted to free himself from seeing humans kill each other, but afterwards, he started seeing humans as insignificant and beneath him. As time passed, he realized the world of the chiropterans is just as full of war as the human one.

He is led to believe that Saya is the enemy before meeting her. After meeting her personally at the ball in the Lycee without knowing each other, his opinion changes. Although he agrees that Saya is a threat to him and his partners, he harbors strong feelings for her and regularly tries to protect her, despite his brothers' intentions to destroy her. He loves Saya, and swears his loyalties to her, vowing to protect her even though she rejected his love. He becomes depressed for awhile afterwards. He even tries to attack Diva as of doing a favour to Saya but fails. He later saves Saya from James and says he wishes to protect her because he is in love with her.

Skills
