Soliar was born in 225 to the Varjangaria family. Soliar's father was Artorias Varjangaria, a hero of the Edelmaa Great War. Soliar became a loyal vassal of his king, Samuel Berghof. Though Soliar's father was part of the Faith of the Forgotten Sword Church, Soliar did not become a devout follower of the faith, however, Soliar is still officially part of the Faith.

Soliar joined KOMS when he was very young.

### Borian War

By 293, when the Borian War began, Soliar had become the highest ranking military commander in the Kingdom of Hefaia, and together with his counterpart from the Kingdom of Olav, Shankar Perickard, Soliar was tasked with the conquest of Edelmaa. Soliar and Shankar became fast friends as both were skilled military leaders. The two of them commanded the Borian Army in the initial conquest of Edelmaa and won every battle, most notably the Battle of Wolfsee against the renown Worvian General; Hamina Beyard.

Soliar was quite busy throughout the war, as after Wolfsee, Soliar began the relatively long Siege of High Castle, which ended in a peaceful manner and Soliar's ultimate victory. After High Castle, Soliar was ordered to subdue minor revolts in Edelmaa. This suppressing mission lasted until spring of 294, when King Jiri Baathúr of Workhold landed in Graille and began reclaiming his kingdom. Soliar and Shankar began to plan how to defeat their ultimate foe. However, they had many problems with re-organizing their armies and couldn't perform a proper offensive against Jiri, and were stuck observing Jiri's reconquest as Jiri won battle after battle. Eventually in July Soliar and Shankar managed to raise a good army and they marched against Jiri. They maneouvred their army into the hilly Eion Valley, where they faced Jiri.

The Battle of Eion Valley was a large confrontation, and Soliar was placed to command the left wing of the Borian Army. There Soliar tried to hold back the advance of Heuteclere Nilsson. Soliar's frontline completely collapsed after the centre of the Borian Army failed. Soliar, who lost contact with other Borian commanders, deemed it best to withdraw south and continue the fight from there. However, when Soliar was relaying his orders personally, he was met with Prince Diarmud Baathúr, who attacked him. Soliar was seriously wounded, but he managed to get away.

Atfer Soliar's withdrawal, he rested his army at Keriff, where Soliar planned to hold a last-stand against Jiri Baathúr. However, Soliar was approached by one of his acquaintances, Grisweld Mittelhoss who requested Soliar's aid in subduing bunch of renegade Borian commanders. The new ruler of Boria, Konrad Perickard, sought to make peace with Jiri, but some hawkist Borian commanders had turned their backs on the King and seeked to recontinue the fight, this began the Officers' Battle. Grisweld, as the last loyal commander of the Borians, was tasked with persuade Soliar to join him and together quell the renegade officers. Soliar agreed and gave his men to Grisweld. Soliar himself couldn't join the battle due to his injury.

Few days later, Boria surrendered, but as all instigators of the Borian War were killed during the war and the Worvians wanted to find a scapegoat, they took Soliar captive, as Soliar had been one of the primary planners of the initial invasion of Workhold.

## 2nd Great War

Soliar spent the next 17 years in the Lohensloss dungeons, until Revoiles Mittelhoss, the son of Grisweld Mittelhoss, came and rescued Soliar from prison, informing Soliar that a new war had begun, the 2nd Great War.
