King Solomon



King Solomon is the king in Sonic and the Secret Rings. He is apparently the king that sealed creatures like the Ifrit Golem in ancient times. He is voiced by Richard Will in the English version and by Fumito Yamano in the Japanese version.

History
King Solomon, long before the game took place, had sealed away many evil demons. This angered the spirits who decided to join Erazor Djinn to get revenge. Erazor sent the 40 Thieves and many others to kill Solomon, seeing Solomon as a threat to his plans. Solomon somehow surrvived, but he had been skinned and his body scattered through out the castle. When Sonic and Shahra arrive, he asks for help recovering the rest of his body, and eliminating the 40 Thieves, in return he gives them advice on how to defeat Erazor. After recovering his body, he helps Sonic and Shahra by telling them how to unlock Erazor's palace gates. Solomon is not heard from after that.

Similarity to the Jewish King Solomon
King Solomon is similiar to the Jewish King, Solomon in three ways:
 * His name is based off of the King of the same name.
 * He has hair locks on his sideburns, which is a cultural attribute to certain branches of Judaism.
 * His concept art reveals a six-point star on his clothing, another symbolistic attribute to Judaism.
