## Appearance

Thesion Solon has dark blue hair that is swept back with a few strands that fall across his forehead. He has black eyes set in a pale angular face. Over the years, his cheeks began to sink in and he grew a small mustache. He opts to wear solid-colored, in high quality fabrics.

## Personality

Thesion Solon is an esteemed noble who values power and influence, always striving for more. He is greedy for more power and wealth, and seeks to make Medea the crown princess in order for absolute power. He cares little about the health and conditions of others and takes pleasure in beating others as a form of releasing stress and anger. After beating Nana to death, he harbored no remorse and was surprised to see Medea so hurt by her death.

## Etymology

* The spelling of the character’s first name switches between 'Thesion' and 'Theseion' throughout the Webtoon.
* The Temple of Hephaestus (Ἡφαιστεῖον) or earlier known as *"Theseion"* (Θησεῖον), is a well preserved Greek temple. It is a Doric peripteral temple located at the north-west side of the Agora of Athens. From the 7th century until 1834, it served as the Greek Orthodox church of Saint George Akamates.
* The name *"Theseion"* or Temple of Theseus was attributed to the monument under the assumption it housed the remains of the Athenian hero *"Theseus"*, but refuted after inscriptions from within the temple associated it firmly with Hephaestus.
* The etymology of the name *"Solon"* derives from the Greek word Σόλων Sólōn, meaning "wise lawmaker." The name references the Athenian Greek statesman and lawmaker who sought to prevent political, economic, and moral decline in ancient Athens. His legislations eventually served as the foundation for the current Athenian democracy.

## Trivia

* In Greek mythology, Theseus was the mythical king and founder-hero of Athens. His most famous legend is slaying a half-human and half-bull known as the Minotaur.
* As the subject of myth, the existence of Theseus as a real person has not been proven, but scholars believe that he may have been alive during the Late Bronze Age possibly as a king in the 8th or 9th century BCE.
* Theseus is sometimes described as the son of Aegeus, King of Athens, and sometimes as the son of the god Poseidon. He is raised by his mother, Aethra, and when he discovers his connection to Aegeus, he travels overland to Athens, having many adventures on the way. When he reaches Athens, he finds that Aegeus is married to Medea (formerly wife of Jason), who plots against him.
* When Theseus arrived in Athens, he did not reveal his true identity immediately. Aegeus gave him hospitality but was suspicious of the young, powerful stranger's intentions. Aegeus's consort Medea recognized Theseus immediately as Aegeus' son and worried that Theseus would be chosen as heir to Aegeus' kingdom instead of her son Medus. She tried to arrange to have Theseus killed by asking him to capture the Marathonian Bull, an emblem of Cretan power.
* When Theseus returned victorious to Athens, where he sacrificed the Bull, Medea tried to poison him. At the last second, Aegeus recognized the sandals and the sword and knocked the poisoned wine cup from Theseus's hands. Thus father and son were reunited, and Medea fled to Asia.
	+ In Episode 58 Thesion drinks the wine he suspects Medea poisoned. This alludes to the Greek myth, when the mythological Medea attempted to hand Theseus a poisoned cup of wine.
