Whoever Solas truly is, wherever he came from, he has deceived us from the very start.

-Excerpt from correspondence between Inquisition Spymaster Leliana and Inquisitor Lavellan

 

Though I will it to steel, my rebellious heart will not obey

For it still loves a man whose name it never knew

And my traitorous body still craves his touch

That I fear I may go mad with longing and remembrance.

Teach it cunning, then,

To know all the secret ways that it might not be fooled again

Give me the heart of Fen'Harel

And I will serve you with all that is in my power to give.

I read an awesome review somewhere that Solas is like the Thedas version of Loki - and that he's not actually an elven god, but something else entirely. I can't wait to find out!

I'm fairly certain Solas is, as you say, not actually an elven god (although Solas hints they weren't gods, but powerful beings, possibly spirits, possibly something else).  He is a child of two worlds, with one foot in this world and one foot in the other.  In this sense, Cole's comment about never trusting half an elf could easily apply to him.  I suspect that Solas did, in fact, grow up in the village (now a ruin) he mentioned to Leliana and perhaps was even the boy he and Cole were discussing:

 

• Cole: It was a game, but more than a game. It meant he would get a family.
• Solas: Competition brings passion, Cole, and passion lets people attach import to trivial things.
• Cole: Why didn't they help at the end?
• Solas: People wish to accomplish the truly great things on their own.
• Cole: They didn't give the boy what he wanted.
• Solas: They did. The boy got a family.
• Cole: They gave him a new one. He wanted his old one. I would have done it better.
• Solas: The wise must sometimes give people what they need, not what they want.
