Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Solembum usually accompanies Angela, a powerful witch. Solembum takes the form of a young boy when he changes from his catlike form. As a cat he has red eyes, a strong lean body, oversized paws, and fangs that curve down over his jaw. When Eragon first sees him, he seems to feel that he has never seen any cat with such a look. Eragon first sees him in Angela's shop in Teirm. Solembum later gives Eragon cryptical advice, which is to look under the roots of the Menoa Tree when he is in need of a weapon, and when all seems lost and Eragon's power is insignificant, to go to the rock of Kuthian and say his name to open the Vault of Souls. While Angela was telling Eragon about his future and warns him about approaching guards when Eragon, Brom, and Jeod had sneaked into the records room in Teirm. Solembum also appears in Tronjheim to lead Eragon to Angela and to simply chat with Saphira. Since Solembum has been with Angela, he has only spoken to three people besides Angela: Eragon, Selena, and a blind beggar. He is seen briefly in Eldest and shows recognition when Saphira tells him of another older werecat, Maud.
