Personal history
Solas grew up in a small village. Before the events that led to the formation of the Inquisition, he spent most of his life wandering the wilderness, and although his pointed ears mark him as one of the Elvhen, he does not recognize himself as a Dalish or a city elf..
Despite having no contact with the Circle of Magi or any Dalish tutors (though he has had contact with clans during his travels), Solas taught himself how to master his magical abilities. Solas' prime interest is in the Fade, happily spending his time dreaming in ancient ruins and learning all there is to learn about what dwells beyond the Veil rather than joining the current Mage-Templar War.
When Solas witnessed the creation of the Breach, he sought out and joined the fledgling Inquisition, knowing that his unique knowledge of the Fade would be of use. He entered the Inquisition camp voluntarily, surrendering his staff to Chantry forces without protest. He was granted permission to study the lone survivor of the Divine Conclave's explosion, Merai Lavellan , and one of the smaller rifts, in hopes of finding a way to seal the Breach and help the prisoner. Using healing magic and minor wards, Solas managed to prevent the mark on their hand from growing and save their life.
When the Inquisitor finally defeated Corypheus, Solas lamented the destruction of the orb as the loss of yet another elven artifact. With Corypheus defeated and the orb lost, he left the Inquisition. Leliana and her agents were unable to locate him.
Solas amassed a large network of spies and agents, some of which he placed inside the Inquisition. They eventually stumbled upon a Qunari plot to invade southern Thedas, and disrupted it by discreetly pointing the Inquisitor in the right direction. The Qunari pursued him in turn, believing him to be an agent of Fen'Harel. As Solas had gained control of the eluvians, and substantially grown in power since his time in the Inquisition (including being able to petrify people with a thought), he remained elusive.
Once the Inquisitor has removed the threat of the Qunari invasion, Solas lures them to the Crossroads to explain himself and save their life, threatened by the Anchor.
Merai accused him of being Fen'Harel, the Dread Wolf of Dalish legend, and he congratulated her on putting it together. He used his magic to disintegrate her left forearm, taking the Anchor away and preventing it from killing her.
Relationships
History
Merai and Solas were lovers in 9:40 Dragon. He ended things prior to the Final Battle with the Elder One, leaving her heartbroken. From their final encounter, it is clear that Merai still has feelings for him, and he for her.
