My all time favorite character is Solomon. He is a highly flawed, yet likeable character. I also feel he is one of the characters who develops the most throughout the anime. In the beginning he comes off as rather arrogant, pushy, and selfish who thinks loving someone is a flaw(according to the novels) but when he comes to terms with his love for Saya he becomes slighly more humble, and recognizes that sometimes liking/loving someone, means more than a bond of blood. Then again, towards the end of the anime, his selfish tendensies are still there (his betrayal of Diva and attemps to kill Haji) but I think in ep 47, he ultimateky showed how much he had developed, he accepted Saya's rejection and vowed he would protect her, even if there was no benefits for him. Real love is about sacrifices, and I think this proves just how genuine he was.

my Second favorite would be Kai. In the beginning I found him to be a nuisanse who slowed down the plot, but I agree with you, he has definitely developed and is probably one of the main reasons Saya is as human as she is. In the beginning of the anime I liked Haji, but episodes later his passivite started to tire me. The one who really understoor Saya is Kai, I believe. I also like his relation to Irene and how he emphasised with the schiff. Deffinitely an underrated character.
