Name

Santa Soledad's name comes from the Spanish words santa, meaning "holy", and soledad, which means "solitude".

History

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (TV 2026) [episodes 11–13]

Prior to the events of the series, Titan X and its Scarabs would frequent the waters around Santa Soledad, bringing to the village the "bounty of the sea", and the village inhabitants began to worship the Titan as a deity.

In 1957, Bill and Keiko Randa and Lee Shaw investigated Santa Soledad. Upon the Monarch members' arrival in the village, the residents were standoffish towards the visitors; one man silently slipped into his house and watched them from his window, and a woman sat outside her doorstep glaring at them. The three noticed an altar in the center of the village covered with carvings of various sea life, before walking into a bar. Inside, Bill attempted to get a picture of a Scarab mounted up, which angered a local man, Tomás, who took Bill's camera from his hands and threw him to the ground. Lee attempted to smooth over the situation, but Tomás remained hostile, pulling a knife out at the three Monarch members. Eventually a local woman, Lucía, and another local man calmed Tomás down. The other local man gave Bill back his camera, and the three Monarch members left the bar.

That night, the three returned to the bar. Bill danced with Lucía, during which―in reference to the Scarab that Bill tried to photograph earlier―she told him of the villagers' religion surrounding Titan X. Soon after, the three exited the bar. Bill wanted to stay and continue investigating the village while Lee wanted to leave. Lucía joined them soon after, agreeing with Lee and offering to help them leave. After Keiko inferred that the villagers were hiding something, Lucía agreed to show the three Monarch members what was happening in the village if they left, taking them to a cave lined with fossils of the Scarabs. At the end of the cave was a painting depicting Titan X with its Scarabs, where Lucía revealed to them the reason for the villagers' worship of the Titan. "Cause and Effect"

The next day, after studying the cave paintings further, Bill found that they indicated a migratory path that Titan X traveled, and left for Santiago to confirm his idea; meanwhile, Keiko, who had found abundant nutrients in the water around the village, chose to remain in the village to continue investigating it, and Lee stayed with her. Lee and Keiko returned to the cave with equipment, and Keiko felt a vibration from the ground below. Shortly after, Lucía and the local man from the bar invited Lee and Keiko to attend the Santa Soledad festival that night. Before the festival, Keiko and Lee drank with Lucía and the bar patron. As the festival began, the village people danced around the altar to music playing, and Keiko and Lee found themselves joining the crowd. Then, a procession of Titan X cultists brought a large fish up to the altar, before Tomás―adorned with headwear modeled after Titan X—gutted the fish, spilling its blood onto the altar. Lucía told Lee and Keiko that she tried to get them to leave, before she and the other village residents left Keiko and Lee in the village center for dead. A large group of Scarabs, drawn to the gutted fish, emerged in the cave and sped into the center of town. Lee and Keiko tried fruitlessly to get into the village buildings for cover, before deciding to get to a boat. However, their escape was complicated as Titan X arrived in the waters around the village and attacked them. "Resonance"
