Solomon

"But loss is part of growing up. Part of growing up is excepting the inevitability of death."

- Solomon taunting his captor Jonathan Miller about his situation.

Solomon is the main antagonist of the Campaign in Battlefield 3. He first appears in the first mission of Battlefield 3 in a New York city subway train attempting to nuke New York. Blackburn tries to stop him but is temporarily incapacitated by Solomon.

It is revealed throughout the campaign that he is working with Al-Bashir and the PLR. Kaffarov, a Russian arms dealer supplying the PLR, reveals to Dima during a brutal interrogation that Solomon is planning attacks on Paris and New York City. His men had successfully detonated a suitcase nuke in Paris despite desperate attempts by Dima to stop the detonation.

In the last mission, The Great Destroyer, when Black and Montes are interrogated it is revealed by the interrogators that Solomon is working for them and is supposedly no threat. When Blackburn said he was on the video where Miller was executed the interrogater says it is a small sacrifice and that it still doesn't mean he is a threat. Later in the mission when Montes and Blackburn escape Blackburn jumps on a subway in an attempt to stop Solomon. As Blackburn fights his way through the subway he sees Solomon through a door. The previous subway car is armed with explosives and Blackburn jumps out the window to climb through the next window. However Solomon shoots at him and he climbs on the top of the subway. When he jumps into the next subway car he is attacked by Solomon after one of his goons attempts to surrender. Blackburn then hits the goon's detonator where the whole subway derails. Solomon then desperately tries to escape through the sewers where Blackburn fights several of his goons. When he climbs out of the sewer he sees Solomon entering a SUV. Montes then stops in a police car and picks Blackburn up. Together they chase Solomon down where they both crash. Solomon then shoots Montes who is injured. Seconds later, Solomon attempts to shoot Blackburn as well, but he is out of ammo. He then wrestles Blackburn where Black chokes him with his handcuffs. In his final moments Blackburn repeatedly smashes his head with a brick.
