Solomon del Eden’d
Biography:
The Portable Grove: Emanated near the end of the novel, Solomon is needed for the final experiment. Tara is preoccupied with the fall of CenGov and also had a fight with Aran, so she is not happy to see a new emanation. Nevertheless, she seduces him, making it clear that she does not blame him for the situation. Solomon then retreats into the pleroma, where he assists in the final development of the new mothman form. He works with Davy and Axel, whose names (David, Absalom) seem to have a historical connection to his. In particular, Solomon is responsible for the feather-mask face. Because he did not emanate on Dolparessa, legally, Ash is not required to disclose him, and so his existence is kept a secret for the time being.
