-Has been alive ever since the events of the Gear Project, which occurred over a century prior
-Due to his body containing the Flame of Corruption, Sol is unaffected by the creation of the Absolute World, which is a mass extinction event that affects everything in the universe
Regeneration:
-While rarely shown in the games, Sol, like most other Gears, possesses the ability to rapidly heal from a majority of injuries

Soulsinker:
-A powerful magical ritual that summons his soul into the physical world in the form of a military base known as the masterghost

-In the event that Sol dies, the masterghost will resurrect him, though this process takes up to 10 seconds
-It can do this multiple times
–Is protected by a barrier made of virtual numbers, which makes it difficult to break through without the aid of Servants
-Rarely uses this due to his inexperience with summoning magic and the risks involved in manifesting his soul (See “Weaknesses” below)

(“I made it a habit to be alone. Always have... That’s the path I’ve chosen. The world I’ve started to like. Then all of a sudden a whole bunch of people start to butt into my peaceful life with ideas of their own. ‘I’m in love with this,’ ‘I want to protect that,’ ‘I want to rise up,’ ‘I want to reclaim those,’ ‘I want to redo everything.’ You can see how that’ll get on a man’s nerves. It’s like watching fireworks. But you know, that helped me realize something... That I’m not just ‘one,’ I’m ‘one of many.’ My world existed in a box of freedom that was handed to me. So, you try and change the world according to your plans, but in doing so you affect and are affected by others... How’s that different from what you’re trying to do!? This world’s like one huge-ass firework. How the hell can I miss it?”)
