Backstory:
Solar Flare was a gift from the gods to the Skylands. Or... at least that's what he claims. He randomly showed up to fight one day at a battle at the Crystal Eye Castle. He soared down like a meteor from the sky and crashed into the cyclops' like a wrecking ball and began cutting his way through them with his sunbeam, saving the few Skylanders that were at that battle. He told the Skylanders he was here to help and that he could do the rest so they may as well go home. They doubted him, but he backed up his talk by single handedly saving the people of Crystal Eye Castle and overthrowing the cyclops regime. He told the Skylanders your welcome and said he would like to lead them to glory, the gods sent him to save everyone and so he will do it.

The Skylanders took him back to the academy and The Brain appointed him "Deputy Leader of the Shrink Squad" — A fake title that would satisfy his ego, and recommended him to a humility class.

Personality:
Has a really cocky personality and is very self assured. Will happily tell anyone who asks about his gifts he's received from the Gods and how he is essentially one of them. Depending on the day, he will even say he is the best of them as he is willing to associate himself with mere mortals and they are not.
