Main article: Aurelion Sol (Character)
  • When Aurelion Sol dies, he dissipates into a dragon-like constellation. This may indicate that Celestial Dragons, such as himself and Inviolus Vox, are formed as constellations, as are normal celestials.
    • As matter imitates the shape of greater energies, similar to how a logarithmic spiral is found in a nautilus shell and a galaxy, terrestrial dragons are shaped after their celestial counterparts, even though they have no bloodline connection.
  • According to a Q&A with Riot about Aurelion Sol, it is mentioned that during his story's development they had an idea that some of the 'celestial beings' that Aurelion mentions were actually his sisters, whom control other aspects of space such as Gravity or Dark Matter. Whether or not this is still canon is unknown.[citation needed]
  • Narrative Writer Jared Rosen rates him as the most knowledgeable known being in the universe, tied with An icon representing Universe:Swain Swain and ahead of An icon representing Universe:Zoe Zoe.[4]
