Biography

Ha. Today was just a greeting. Tomorrow, your head will be decorating the walls of this city!

— Solon Jhee

Solon was the second son of the Jhee family, a powerful noble family formerly within the Highland Kingdom. Since his father and elder brother did not have faith in his political skills, he choose to enter the Highland Army and rose to the command of the 4th Royal Highland Company, leading Highland's initial attacks against Jowston.

As he became a general at a young age, Solon was lacking in experience and had a large amount of pride. It was also said he lack prudence and discretion while leading his men.

In the Dunan Unification War, Solon was let down by a series of successive setbacks, most importantly when he attacked the old ruins at North Window. Having no experience with naval battles, Jhee did not factor in the possibility of being flanked from the lake shore. This is exactly what happened, with units arriving by ship and almost surrounding Jhee before he retreated.

Following this disastrous defeat, Solon Jhee failed to pacify Luca Blight's anger and was ordered to be beheaded immediately, ending his life in disgrace.

-Solon was a member of the Jhee family, a powerful noble family formerly within the [[Highland Kingdom]]. He quickly rose through the military ranks of the [[Highland Army]] due to his status. Once [[Luca Blight]] was gifted the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Highland Army, Solon Jhee was given command of the [[4th Royal Highland Company]] and led Highland's initial attacks against [[City-State of Jowston|Jowston]].

-Although he had some initial success against the unprepared Jowston forces (and even then was rebuffed twice before eventual victory, once at Viktor's fortress and again outside [[Muse City]]), eventually taking [[South Window City]] and ordering the beheading of [[Granmeyer]] despite his peaceful surrender, his lack of caution and general hot-headedness often placed him in precarious situations.

Having no experience with naval battles, Jhee did not factor in the possibility of being flanked from the lake shore. Of course, this is exactly what happened, with units led by [[Riou]] arriving by ship and almost surrounding Jhee before he retreated, causing many South Window troops under Highland control to change sides.
