Do you see me? (Now of all times?) / Why, when you never cared about me? / I’ll show you what fear feels like. / You never noticed who you trampled under your feet. / Saying, “Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t know that it hurt!” / With no intent to move away your own feet.
a child of the divine revolution, one of the first Solars created to fight the Titans
Chose his name on the Godeater's suggestion--as they put it, "you're a guy who shines with the sun's light, it would be hard to get more fitting".
Yang, in sharp contrast to his pretty face, had one of the blackest hearts among the Deliberative--the city he ruled with his spouserival, the Godeater, was so utterly under his control that even thoughts were on his strings towards the end of their millenia-spanning lives. This was something he kept carefully hidden from the Godeater, to the point of actively manipulating their thoughts as well when they tried to confront him on it in the two decades before his death at their hands. (It should be noted that that time period was the only time he did; prior to that, they had arguments like normal people who disagreed on something.)
Yang craved absolute control over his surroundings at all time; the fact that he let the Godeater have (mostly) free reign was considered extremely unusual by anyone who had interacted with him for an extended period of time. This extended to his sorcery; he had absolutely no trust for summoned creatures, even bound. Describing him as the pettiest of tyrants would not be inaccurate. A lot of this was due to not being able to trust other humans at... basically any point in his life. He didn't trust even his circle, and that he trusted Godeater at all was an extreme oddity, even with the fits of severe paranoia marring their relationship.
He was deeply bitter about the place of humans in Creation's cosmology and took entirely too much pleasure in taking out loyalist gods and undermining the Titans so that others could slay them--it was actually remarked upon as "kind of weird, dude" and "please chill out you are scaring our allies" during that time, and his general intense distrust and hatred for gods remained even after the Divine Revolution ended. Sol gave him power that got him out of an extremely bad place--that didn't mean he had to like that Sol had the power to make that choice in the first place.
Something he tried to keep hidden to varying degrees of success was his emotional state's general instability--he cycled between periods of sleepless mania and severe depression, and while he tried to treat it he was not an alchemist and Godeater couldn't stand cities, so his paranoia often meant he went under (or entirely un-) medicated, and his essence fever aggravated it. It was something he found deeply shameful, so it was something that (besides Godeater) only his collegues really had any idea of, and then only those that worked with him directly. Most just thought he was eccentric, which... Solar. Not uncommon.
