Bio

Sol Badguy is the main character of the Guilty Gear series. He worked on developing the magical weapons known as Gears and was personally acquainted with the leader of the project, a person only known as "That Man." Sol himself is a prototype Gear, and the headband he wears both suppresses his darker nature and hides the telltale marks of being a Gear.

After rebelling against That Man and fighting the Gears on his own, Sol joins the Sacred Order, a band of humans under the command of Ky Kiske leading a Holy War against the Gears. Near the end of the Crusade, Sol fights the Commander Gear Justice, giving Ky time to seal away Justice and end the Crusade himself. Sol leaves the Sacred Order shortly thereafter, taking with him his trademark Fireseal sword and a deep hatred for Ky.
