Solan

==Summary==
A citizen of the Yellow Martian city of Okar, Solan is an old, wizened man who serves as a minor antagonist in the John Carter of Mars series. He is responsible for overseeing the inner workings of the city, including two levers that control the city's temperature and magnetism. On paper, he is simply a maintenance worker and guardsman with an important job, but he was actually chosen for the task due to his absolutely phenomenal swordsmanship.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: At least 
Name: Solan
Origin: John Carter of Mars
Gender: Male
Age: At least several thousand (Martians don't show signs of old age until long after they reach a thousand years of age, and Solan is visibly very old)
Classification: Yellow Martian, Okarian Guard
Powers and Abilities:  Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Type 1, Type 3 with Martian Medicine),
Master Swordsman, Telepathy, Regeneration with Martian Medicine (Mid-Low)
Attack Potency: At least Small Building level (Vastly superior to John Carter. Forced him to achieve his maximum potential during their fight just to survive his basic attacks, and still matched him afterwards. Carter noted that if his attention wavered for even an instant Solan would have killed him. It was only due to blind luck that Carter managed to defeat him.)
Speed: At least Subsonic, likely higher (Casually intercepted a sprinting John Carter the instant he perceived his presence. Possessed such inhuman agility that John Carter claimed he was in forty places at once, and very nearly blitzed him before he could even draw his weapon. He and Carter apparently fought the fiercest duel-royal in Martian history in the span of five minutes)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: At least Small Building level
Durability: At least Small Building level (Carter at peak strength couldn't force him back a fraction of an inch, or make even the slightest headway against his defense)
Stamina: Likely High (The fight with him lasted five minutes, though he showed no sign of tiring)
Range: Extended Melee Range
Standard Equipment: An Okarian sword
Intelligence: Very High (In addition to a comprehensive grasp of how the city's technology works, Solan is unquestionably the single greatest swordsman to ever exist upon Mars or Earth. Is leagues ahead of John Carter in skill, and with a single move made him look like a monkey in comparison. Was referred to as "a wizard of the blade", and none of Carter's opponents before or since matched his abilities)
Weaknesses: Is greedy and miserly toward money. Focused too intensely on his fight with Carter, rather than the switch he was supposed to be guarding. When Carter quickly pulled the switch, it distracted him long enough that Carter managed to kill him.
