Main characters of Fullmetal Alchemist
These characters are from the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist. All characters are mostly listed by their debut in the storyline (Anime, manga, video games).
- Note: Due to irregularities in translations some names may have multiple spellings.
Main Characters
This section covers the characters who are widely considered to be "primary" to the plot of the story; while the Elric Brothers are the heroes of the story, there are also those who are greatly affected by their adventures and vice versa.
Edward Elric
Known as the Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed is the youngest State Alchemist ever recruited. His codename was given to him due to his automail, the artificial arm and leg that replaced the limbs Ed lost when he attempted to revive his mother (his leg) and transfer Al's soul into a suit of armor (his arm). Ed is the older brother, but is short for his age and is very sensitive about that as he is often made fun of for it. He is a very powerful alchemist, even more so than he understands. He can use alchemy without the use of a transmutation circle, unlike most alchemists, by clapping his hands together because of his failed attempt to revive his mother. Throughout his adventure, he saw the dark aspects of human nature and tried to act tough as a defense to it. He is killed by Envy, only to be revived by Al at the cost of his life. He then decides to revive Al using himself as a sacrifice, while ensuring that no one can use the Philosopher's Stone again. Al was brought back to Amestris in his original body, but Edward was unintentionally taken to the 'other side' of the gate, which is supposed to be our world. Ed lives in post WWI Germany with his father, now traveling to Romania to find a means to go back to Amestris with hopes to see Al and the rest of his friends again someday. But as Edward tries to fit in his new reality, he tries not to interact as best as he could while dealing with the establishment of the Nazis and Envy.
Alphonse Elric
Alphonse is the younger brother, but is often confused to be older than Ed because he is trapped in a suit of armor twice as large as he is. As a result of Al's suit of armor, most people who meet Alphonse automatically assume that he is the Fullmetal Alchemist. When Ed and Al tried to revive their mother, Al's body was taken to the 'other side' and Ed had to save him by giving up his arm to bind his brother's soul to a nearby suit of armor. Because of this, Al is unable to feel, smell, or taste anything anymore (he actually doesn't even eat), but he can apparently see and hear. He's an alchemist as well, but not nearly as powerful as his brother is. Al's personality usually acts as a foil for Ed's. But during his fight with Barry, Al was troubled by the fact that he could be a fabrication and may not have truly existed, as he was unable to remember most things from when he was human and Edward was not telling him something. As a result, Al left to find the truth for himself. But by helping Scar deal with mercanies and Barry, Al came to terms with this fear of being false and rejoined his brother in their searching.
Later, Scar transferred all of his incomplete Philosopher's Stone into Al to save his life. As a restore, Al became the host of the Philosopher's Stone, as well as a target for Dante, her Homunculi, and Shou Tucker. In the end, Al used the stone's power to resurrect Ed after Envy killed him. But it destroyed him in the process. Ed, in turn, resurrected Al by using himself in a transmutation. Al came back in his original 10 year-old body with no memory of his adventures since that night they tried to revive their mother. He was last seen under Izumi's teaching once again, and wants to study alchemy so that he may see Ed again someday.
In the Manga, Al develops the ability to perform alchemy without a transmutation circle, the same as Ed can. When King Bradley impaled Martel while she was inside Al's armored body, her blood spilled onto his blood seal. This gave him a near-death experience, recalling to his mind his experience at the Gate of Alchemy. He realized that he could transmute without sigils shortly thereafter. It is also believed that his body is lying somewhere, as in the example of Barry the Chopper.
Winry Rockbell
Ed and Al's childhood friend. She's a self-professed "gearhead" who helped her grandmother Pinako build Ed's "automail". She occasionally travels with the Elric Brothers to maintain Ed's artificial limbs. Her parents were doctors who were killed during the Ishbal War by Roy Mustang under Basque Grand's orders.Also sometimes translated as "Winly".
In the manga version, it was Scar who killed Winry's parents, not Mustang.
Rosé Thomas
Rosé is from the city of Lior in a remote region of the East. She was one of devout followers of Cornello's teachings because she felt that he would use his powers to bring her boyfriend, Kain, back to life. However, she is shocked when all Cornello is able to produce is a talking parrot chimera, which was going to eat her before Al intervened. With her hope shattered, Rose was forced to start over and persevere through hard times when the military invaded Lior. Imprisoned by the military, Rose was raped repeatedly until she lost her voice. She endured this abuse for about a year and when she finally escaped, she was pregnant. Thanks to Scar, she became the symbol of hope for the people of Lior and with help from Edward, got her voice back. She became targeted as Dante's next vessel with the new Philosopher's Stone. Early material had written her name with no French accute accent, but the BONES staffer who helped develop the Roman character spellings of the major characters has stated it should have. (Many fonts in Japan that were developed before Unicode was widely adopted do not include Roman accented characters.)
Scar
One of the surviving Ishbalites, a people who reject alchemy as an offense to the natural gifts their god gave them. His real name is unknown, so he's called Scar due to the X-Shaped scar on his forehead (thanks to Kimblee). He was on a crusade of sorts to assassinate all of the State Alchemists for the cruelty against his people. The fact he killed Nina to end her "pain" as a chimera made him Ed's mortal enemy. Scar's relationship with the Elric brothers seemed to change upon each meeting depending on the circumstances until he eventually learned the Homunculi were the ones responsible for the War that took the lives his people. His right arm is tattooed with a strange transmutation circle that allows him to destroy objects at will, by performing only the first two steps of a transmutation (Understanding and Decomposing). He received the arm from his older brother to replace the one taken from him by Kimblee. In truth the arm is actually an incomplete Philosopher's Stone itself, created from the transmutation of countless Ishbalites who died in the war; it gives Scar pain every time it absorbs another incomplete Philosopher's Stone (soul). Scar later transferred it into Al to save him from Kimblee's alchemy. He suffered injuries from bullet wounds incurred from shielding Lust, and sacrificed himself in order to peform the giant transmutation circle in the city of Lior that caused Al to become the Philosopher's Stone.
In the Manga, he shares many attributes with the anime version, except that he was one who killed Winry's parents without regret. He was portralyed as more relentless and ruthless in his vengeance while anime had him as a good man who was consumed by revenge for his people and hatred for those involved. In the recent chapter, Scar was almost caught by the military but Mei-chan, a girl from the country of Xing, saved him and he has gone into hiding.
Izumi Curtis
She is a powerful alchemist who took the Elric brothers on as students after their mother died. The tattoo on her neck is the same insignia on Edward's coat. She is a very strong woman and powerful alchemist who is married to Sig Curtis, a muscle bound butcher. She hates the military, however, so Edward had to do his best to keep his status as the Fullmetal Alchemist a secret from her. She, like Edward, is able to perform alchemy without a transmutation circle. Izumi gained this attribute when she created the Homunculus Wrath in an attempt to revive her dead newborn, at the cost of some of her internal organs (more specifically, her reproductive system).
Dante
She is the one who originally instructed Izumi Curtis in the ways of alchemy. Dante was a lover of Hohenheim. She had cheated death for centuries by transferring her soul into another body by using the Philosopher's Stone. However, the transfer is not perfect, as Dante loses a bit of her own soul with each transfer and her bodies slowly decay after a while. She can perform alchemy without a transmutation circle, an ability most likely gained after she created the Homunculi Greed and Pride. She is the leader of all the Homunculi and uses them to spark wars, so new Philosopher's Stones could be made. She was planning on transferring her soul into Rose and possibly taking Ed as her new lover. Dante was last seen fighting off a crazed Gluttony while making her escape.
Hohenheim of Light
The father of Edward and Alphonse Elric. He can perform alchemy without a transmutation circle and was a legend of his time, but Ed has a grudge against him for leaving his mother. By the time he resurfaced to face Dante, he was over 400 years old. At some point in the past, Dante and Hohenheim had a relationship, which resulted in one child. This child died due to mercury poisoning, but was resurrected as a homunculus: Envy. However, Hohenheim did not love Dante and eventually left her, as he stated that Trisha Elric was the only woman he had ever loved. He created a Philosopher's Stone and, like Dante, used it to transfer his soul into a new body to live indefinitely. But like Dante, Hohenhiem's vessels tend to decay as a side effect; it was the true reason why he left his family in the first place. Upon failing to stop her, Hohenheim's entire being was transported by Dante to the 'other side' of the gate, and ended up in London during WWI. He later saw Edward off on the boy's trip to Romania. He was named after Paracelsus, a famous historical alchemist.
Alphonse Heiderich
A boy who bears a resemblance to Alphonse Elric and befriends Ed in the movie. He's studying under the father of modern rocketry. He wants to prove the scientific worth of his fellow Germans by achieving a rocket that can actually be ridden. However, Alphonse feels a bit annoyed when Ed treats him like his little brother.
The State Military
In the country of Amestris, the Fuhrer (the governing leader who is also known as President) has command of the military. All alchemists that work in the military are referred to as "State Alchemists" or "National Alchemists", obtaining titles based on their alchemic talents and abilities. Like any army, there are rankings. From lowest to highest: Security Personnel, Private, Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Warrant Officer, Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, and General. All State Alchemists are given the ranking of Major upon their entrance into the military, and have the potential to be promoted from there. After the current Fuhrer, King Bradley (Pride), was killed, the military gave all the political power to Amestris' newly formed parliament.
Colonel Roy Mustang
_Mustang.jpg){kind=link}
The Flame Alchemist. Ed's superior officer in the military, friend of Maes Hughes and an acquaintance of Hohenheim. At the time of his introduction in the anime, Mustang held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and was stationed at Central, although he was tranfered early on to the Eastern Territories to clean up Lieutenant Yoki's mess. He was involved in the Ishbal War, though he could never forget the horror and the lives he took. Among them include the parents of automail mechanic and Ed and Al's childhood friend Winry Rockbell. His participation in the Ishbal war has also caused Mustang to become somewhat mentally unstable, which at times has led Mustang to consider killing himself. Often playfully mysterious, Mustang sometimes annoys Edward to no end. In truth, he has his own goals and intentions in mind as a member of the military. He wishes to become Fuhrer to try to make the world a better place, with one of his policies to be that all female members must wear miniskirts. He kills the Homunculus Pride at the end of the series, losing his left eye in the process by mechanical Archer after the battle. He was promoted to Brigadier General for exposing the conspiracy in the military, though he drops his state alchemist title and is demoted to Corporal between the end of the series and start of the movie. A powerful alchemist in his own right, Mustang wears gloves with Transmutation Circles on them that are made of a material called "pyrotex" that sparks when he snaps his fingers, then afterwards, by adjusting the oxygen content in the surrounding atmosphere through alchemy, he can create flames anywhere in the surrounding area at will and manipulate them as he desires. But because of that, he is considered "powerless" on rainy days. Mustang and his subordinates are named after famous fighter planes.
Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes
Member of the Investigations division who is good friends with Colonel Mustang and the Elric brothers. At the time of his introduction in the anime, Hughes held the rank of Major, and first met the Elrics while serving as a communications officer for General Hakuro. Hughes and Edward helped recapture a passenger train that had been hijacked by Bald. Hughes loves his wife, Gracia, and is absolutely obsessed with his little daughter Elicia and will commonly shove pictures of her into other people's faces to cheer them up, but the fervor of his obsession simply freaks out or annoys most members of the military. He is also very supportive of Mustang's plan to become Fuhrer, doing whatever he can to, as he puts it, "help him from the bottom to the top." Hughes, while investigating more on the 5th Laboratory incident and the mysterious deaths of the officers involved with the experiments there, learned the truth of Juliet Douglas and Sloth; he was silenced by Envy before he could reveal that truth. He was promoted to Brigadier General posthumously for dying in the line of duty. His death came as a shock to to his friends and family, especially Sheska and Mustang, who took Hughes's death personally. While he may not be an alchemist, Hughes is however an expert in knife-throwing and carries small knives which he uses as protection when he is in battle.
First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye
A hard-working member of the state military and most trusted in Mustang's circle of friends. At the time of her introduction in the anime, Hawkeye held the rank of Second Liertenant, and was stationed at Central, but like Mustang was promoted one rank and reassigned to the Eastern Territories early in the series. She is excellent with guns, and usually carries two with her wherever she goes. She has strong feelings for Mustang, though she draws the line with his 'miniskirt' policy. She also has a soft spot for the Elrics. Her dog-training methods with her dog, Black Hayate, are rather questionable. She once posed as a woman named Margott Orange Peko so she can gather info on Prof. Eiselstien's work as his assistant during the events of 'Broken Angel'. She was last seen tending to Mustang's injuries after his fight with Pride. On occasion her name is translated as Liza or Rise, but the manga strongly implies that her full name is Elizabeth, suggesting that Liza is the correct translation.
Second Lieutenant Jean Havoc
One of the lieutenants in the military. He likes to smoke, and often goes through several packs per day. He's one of Roy Mustang's most loyal followers, partly due to the man's 'miniskirt' policy. Havoc's also always searching for a girlfriend and, tragically, never gets one — it seems Mustang is constantly stealing any potential dates away from him.
Second Lieutenant Heymans Breda
He is good at chess and is one of Mustang's subordinates. He occasionally plays pranks on the other members of Mustang's group. He also has a talent for strategy games, including chess, go, and shogi. He is afraid of dogs.
Sergeant Major Kain Fuery
A kind man who cares for animals and everyone else. He was the one who brought Black Hayate into the eastern headquarters, though he freaked out about Riza's methods of training. He is part of Roy Mustang's group and is the youngest and lowest-ranked member. A common unofficial translation has his name as Caine Fury. He gets injured in his forehead due to ricochet off Ed's auto-mail hand.
Major Alex Louis Armstrong
The Strong Arm Alchemist. He was born into a family of alchemists and has mastered his family's skill of using his arm strength in his alchemy. He often takes off his shirt when in battle for no other reason than showing off his 'beautiful body'. A very intimidating man at first sight, but is actually more of a softie, as sentimentalism prevents him from being promoted. Armstrong was part of the Ishbal War and has a sense of loyalty towards Roy Mustang. After Edward and Alphonse's battle with Scar—which cost Al his right side and Ed his automail arm—Armstrong volenteered to escort the boys back to Rismeboul in order to get Ed's arm replaced, and subsequently get Al's armor fixed. He is jokingly known as "Colonel Clean" for obvious reasons-- the resemblance to the cleaning product mascot is uncanny, including the pink sparkles.
General Hakuro
He is one of the top-ranking officers in the military. Near the beginning of the series, he is held hostage on a train by Bald while he is returning home from vacation. He also proctored Edward's first Alchemist Exam, as his way of repaying the boy. Shortly thereafter General Hakuro promoted Mustang and Hawkeye one level, and reasigned them to the Eastern Territories to help clean up Lieutenant Yoki's mess. He was later seen leading the military at Lior. It was General Hakuro who took Rose hostage and had her raped repeatedly. A man with ambitious growth, Hakuro is the epitome of military "suck-ups" An English misspelling by FUNimation has his family name as Haruko.
Warrant Officer Vato Falman
He escorted General Haruko back from his vacation and he works in the investigation department under Lieutenant Hughes, but also aids Mustang at Eastern Headquarters. After Hughes's untimely death, Falman begs Mustang to let him join the team. Falman is also known for his precision and data.
Brigadier General Basque Grand
The Iron Blood Alchemist. He is able to transmute the iron in his blood to an assortment of guns and other weapons. The leading proponent for using the Philosopher's Stone for military applications, Grand was the one who had Marcoh's research be used in the Ishbal War. After Marcoh went AWOL, Grand was enraged for losing such power and decided to forge his own Philosopher's Stone. He was also the man who forced Shou Tucker to use his daughter in his Chimera project, intending to use the beastmen created in the 5th Lab and findings on the Philosopher’s Stone for his own ends. Grand was killed by Scar before he could see his ambitions realized. A common unofficial translation has his family name as Gran.
First Lieutenant Yoki
He is in charge of the mines at Youswell and was a very corrupt man who only rose to the position he has through massive bribes. He was eventually exposed as a con artist by Edward in his first mission as State Alchemist. His mysterious death at the hands of Lust creates a panic between Roy Mustang's soldiers and the Ishbal people.
In the manga, Yoki aligns himself with Scar to get his revenge on Edward and the military members who discharged him. But he would eventually betray Scar for the bounty on the Ishbal man.
Lieutenant Colonel Aston Martins
The Thunder Alchemist. Exclusive to "Stray Rondo". He tends to put the moves on the ladies. In battle, he becomes a calm person with great skills with his katana. He was in jail until he was given parole by Mustang to help the Elric brothers in their mission. He has a great interest and some incorrect knowledge in the Samurai code. He was a friend of Colonel Royce.
Second Lieutenant Maria Ross
She is put in charge of taking care of the Elric brothers during their stay in Central City. She and her partner were assigned the task of guarding the Elrics due to Scars return in Central City and his previous attempt on Ed and Al's lives. Almost immediately, she takes on the role of a parental figure. She tries to give guidance to the brothers whenever she can. She had a short-lived crush on Hohenheim. Both she and her partner work under Major Alex Loius Armstrong.
In the manga, she is accused of murdering Lieutenant Colonel Hughes. With the help of Mustang and his gang, she fakes her death in Central and flees to the country of Xing, to the East.
Sergeant Denny Brosh
Almost always seen with Lieutenant Ross, he is rather nosy and lazy. He also has an enormous infatuation with Maria Ross. He also has a resemblance to Ed. Like Ross, he also workers under Major Alex Louis Armstrong. In the FUNimation English anime, his name is romanized as Bloch.
Librarian Sheska
Her responsibilities include organizing and keeping records of all of the books in the Central City library, but due to reading books instead of working she was fired. Her talent to instantly recall entire books from her mind and recite them verbatim was a great help to the Elric Brothers for recreating Tim Marcoh's book. She also helped Hughes recreate State Military files lost in the library until he fired her to save Sheska from the military's higher-ups. After Hughes's death, she tried investigating his death herself, and succeeded in learning the strange discrepancies about King Bradley's secratery Juliet Douglas, which is the same information that Hughes discovered before he was killed. She fled to Resembool with Winry to escape a similar fate. Sony's Aniplex anime DVDs and website spell her name as Sheska, although FUNimation's anime DVDs and television closed-captioning spell her name as Scieszka.
Lieutenant Colonel Frank Archer
He is in charge of Intelligence. Very cool, calm, and collected. Archer thoroughly enjoys war and all his actions are aimed towards preparation for future wars. Archer could easily be compared to Basque as far as morality goes. He is obsessed with glory and honor and becoming a hero, which is his main motivation for most of his actions in the series. Most of his body was destroyed at Lior so he was heavily modified with Automail; Archer was now more machine than man. But he continued to follow Pride until he was killed by Riza in the finale after the fully-mechnical monster took out one of an exhausted Mustang's eyes.
Zolf J. Kimblee
The Crimson Alchemist. He uses the chemical properties in the human body to create explosives, turning people into living bombs. This man is sick and perverse; during the Ishbal War, he killed numerous civilians, women, and children just to hear the sound of them exploding. He was also the man who killed Scar's brother, making him a prime target on Scar's list. When he killed one of his superior officers, Kimblee was imprisoned in the 5th laboratory and sentenced to death. He was one of the prisoners the Homunculi and Shou Tucker tried to trick Edward Elric into using as a ingredigent to create a Philosopher's Stone for them, but Zolf blew up another prisoner to escape, exposing the truth to Edward. Zolf joined Greed temporarily, only to betray him in order to be re-enlisted in the military under Frank Archer with a full pardon. He finally paid for his crimes at the hands of Scar, but not before Kimblee made a vain attempt to kill Al. His first name is sometimes translated Zolof and his surname is sometimes translated as Kimbly,Kimbley, or Kimberly (in some subs).
Kimblee has yet to provide an important role in the manga version, although there are already signs of him in certain chapters, especially through the unique transmutation circles on his palms.
Brigadier General Mudey Nemda
A overweight corrupted militant who was blackmailing Professer Eiselstien into making him the Chimeras he used to attack Hissenburg. He was also drafting soldiers without premission to the end of starting a rebellion against the Furher, though he was actally a pawn Camilla used for her own plans. In the end, he was arrested by Central City MPs.
Colonel Genz Bressallu
The Armor Piercing Alchemist. He made a special apperance only in the events of Broken Angel. The Elric Brothers encountered him when he led the train hijacking taking alchemists to New Hiessgart he was defeated and his left automail arm was damaged. He modofied his body with automail two more times after that. His last apperance was his body transformed into a machine when Camilla transmuated his entire body into automail. No matter how many times he was defeated, he still insisted he is the "strongest in the military. He is also in the game "Broken Angel."
Joliot Comanche
The Silver Alchemist. Exclusive to the manga. He was involved in the Ishbal War. He loves violence and fighting, and his style is to transmute various weapons on the battlefield. Because of this, he is completely helpless when there is nothing to transmute.
Lieutenant Colonel Romeo Kregan
Exclusive to the 'God-surpassing girl', he is an officer in the Valdora Military. He is famous as for his excellence as soldier and weapons he made.
Venus Rosmaria
Exclusive to the 'God-surpassing girl', she is the captain of an independent Valdora Military organization. She's often referred to as the 'Red Rose' for her crimson attire.
- Note: Doctor Tim Marcoh, Jack Crowley , Lincor, Cravis Fagott and Shou Tucker are all considered "former" State Alchemists. Also that Fuhrer King Bradley and Captain Juliet Douglas are members, but are more than they appear. All of them are not found in this section. See below for their bios.
Others
The various people the Elric Brothers befriend or deal with during their journey.
Father Cornello
He is a low-rate alchemist and a fraud. He used what he thought was the Philosopher's Stone (an incomplete Philosopher's Stone provided by Lust) to fool the people of Lior into thinking that he was sent by the Sun God Leto with the power to resurrect the dead. Although he used alchemy to bring prosperity to the desert city, he wanted only to convert the citizens into a fanatical army. The Elric brothers exposed him for the fraud he was. Shortly afterward, the incomplete Philosopher's Stone shattered. Cornello was finally killed as Gluttony ate him. Envy (disguised as Cornello) managed to reforge the deception until the military stepped in. (Sometimes Father is translated as Founder, usually in the Manga.)
Cray
He was Father Cornello's right-hand man and a devout follower of his religion. When the military came to Lior. Cray was devoured by Gluttony when he looked for Cornello and found the Homunculi instead.
Bald
A member of a bandit group who hijacked a train headed towards Central City so that he could trade the safety of the passengers on board for the freedom of his group's leader. He was stopped by Edward, as he and his brother were heading to Central City to become State Alchemists. He would later resurface in "Stray Rondo" to repeat the same crime, only to be put in jail yet again by Ed.
Barry the Chopper
A serial killer introduced near the beginning of the series, Barry was a butcher in Central's Gunzi section. He earned the title for killing his wife and chopping her into bits. Then, posing as a food-delivery woman, abducted various women, killed them out of pleasure, and ditched them in alleys. He is caught by Ed in the boy's first official task as State Alchemist. The ordeal Barry put Ed through taught the boy the startling realization of how small he truly is in the world and how little he can do to save everyone he ever met. Unknown to the public, instead of receiving the death penalty, Barry got his soul sealed into a skull-faced suit of armor and he became one of the guardians of the 5th Laboratory under the alias of "Number 66". The fact he is no longer human doesn't bother him as long as he gets to kill people.
He would later battle Al, preying on the boy's issues until Scar showed up and destroyed Barry's right arm. To escape from Scar, Barry detonated one of the many bombs in the 5th Laboratory, unintentionally releasing Greed in the process. He took adventage of the chaos in the 5th Laboratory to escape, working for a band of mercanies who were pretending to be in the military until he faced the Elric Brothers and Scar again. This time, Barry's seal was a partically shattered by Scar and the rest him was blown into pieces...
In the manga (in which he surived the ordeal and had greater importance), he made a deal with Roy Mustang to help him in exchange for his freedom, falling in love with Riza when she shot his head off without flinching ("I love strong women, I'm in love with you missy!"). While helping them investigate the homunculi, he finds out that his old body is still alive. When he confronts it, it kills him.
Lyra
She is an alchemist under the command of Lieutenant Yoki with the aspirations of becoming a State Alchemist. That was until Edward exposed Yoki for the corrupt military official he is. She used the air around her in her alchemy. Lyra later resurfaced as a student of Dante. In truth, Lyra later became another vessel for Dante. Her soul was transferred into Dante's previous and dying body. Also can be Lyla.
Corniche R. Royce
Exclusive to "Stray Rondo" and "Sonata of Memories" games, Corniche is an alchemist who excels in the field of medical alchemy, growing up in the care of her home and has never left it before. It was because of her brother that she went to Capital City and becomes a State Alchemist to be of use to more people. Although she has quick wits, she would sometimes become a bit of an airhead.
Lincor
The Tuning Alchemist. the villain of "Stray Rondo", Lincor was once known as Colonel Seraphy Royce. His involvement in the Ishbal War made him realize that the State was using alchemists more like weapons. His superior officers set up the rumors that Royce was creating chimeras via human transmutation. Therefore, Royce faked his death and began to set up his own war with the State. In the end, he transmuted himself into his entire castle and was defeated.
Dalt Daimler
An Alchemist who helped Lincor, posing as a merchant. He was killed by Randy. His only son was Lute D. Saxophone.
Randy Rover
Exclusive to "Stray Rondo" and "Sonata of Memories" games, Randy was an upper-class alchemist until the Ishbal War reduced him to poverty. On the verge of death, he was saved by Lincor and so as a debt of gratitude, he is willing to serve him with his loyalty. He's proud of his muscular body.
Kate Rham
Exclusive to "Stray Rondo" and "Sonata of Memories" games, Kate never received any love from her parents as a child. One day, she was able to make dolls that moved and talked with her alchemy. After that, her parents died in the Ishbal War and she was found by Lincor, who promised to be her friend. She thinks of her dolls as the next most important thing. She's very sensitive about her size like Edward.
Psiren
Clara, a cat burglar who publicly makes her thievery known so that her sinking city will be full of life before it disappears beneath a lake. Her alchemy uses cards and water. She was Ed's first female opponent, taking advantage of Al's gullibility by saying she was stealing to save a building she was working at. Her disguises included a nurse, a nun, and a schoolteacher.
Russell Tringham
The son of alchemist Nash Tringham, who supposedly discovered red water and did extensive research on it in Central City before he saw the nightmarish side effects. Hearing that his father was last heard from in Xenotime, he and his younger brother Fletcher posed as the Elric Brothers so that Russell would be able to work on red water, to fulfill their father's dream. After learning the truth, Russell helped stop Mugwar and decided to stay in Xenotime and use his alchemy to make it wealthy in agricultural terms.
Fletcher Tringum
Russell's younger brother. He is caring and disliked the deception they were pulling. He specializes in alchemy dealing with plant life. Sony's Aniplex anime DVDs spell his family name as Tringum, although Sony's Aniplex website spells his name as Tlingum. A common unofficial translation has his family name as Tringham.
Mugwar
He was the richest man in the city of Xenotime, owning most of the land. When Xenotime's gold supply diminished, Mugwar had Nash Tringum crystallize red water to make incomplete Philosopher's Stones. He uses the crystals to transmute rock into gold so that people will come to the city and he will get lots of money. He was forced to murder Tringum when he refused to help at the cost of the deaths caused by the red water. He took advantage of the Tringum brothers by pretending to fall for their deception and had them continue their father's work. He was one of the men Lust took advantage of for her own ambitions. He eventually is killed when he was crushed by the cave-in, caused by pressure from the red water. Sony's Aniplex anime DVDs spell his name as Mugwar, although Sony's Aniplex website spells his name as Mugear. A common unofficial translation has his name as Magwar.
Doctor Tim Marcoh
The Crystal Alchemist. Marcoh was the leading researcher in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone. After his research was used in the Ishbal War, he fled from his position as a State Alchemist and took his research with him to prevent it from being used for further destruction. Posing as a medical doctor, he began to use the Stone he created to help the sick. Naturally, when the Elric Brothers turn up, he's none too pleased to see them. After the incident with Scar, Marcoh was taken into military custody. Marcoh gave Edward a hint that would eventually lead him and his brother to find his book, which not only revealed how the Philosopher's Stone is created but the location of the 5th laboratory. During his time in the Fuhrer's protection, Marcoh was confronted by Lust, who needed to make sure Marcoh didn't reveal too much information to the brothers. She then wounded Marcoh and had Gluttony devour him. A common unofficial translation of his last name is Marco, though the author makes it very clear when in his letter to Ed, which was written in English even in the Japanese Manga, it is signed Tim Marcoh.
Viola Amore
Exclusive to "Sonata of Memories" game, she was an automail engineer. Her family was victims of chimera transmutation.
Cravis Fagott
Exclusive to "Sonata of Memories" game, he was a State Alchemist; he was another of Basque's pawns in his 'BeastMan' project. He stripped for position when the public learned he used Viola's parents in a Chimera-transmutation, though they died, and Lila went missing afterwards. Since then, he looked after the chimeras he created and made peace with them. He was killed by his former assistant Lute.
Armony Eiselstein
Exclusive to "Broken Angel", she's Professor Eiselstein’s daughter. Her father strictly prohibited her from learning alchemy because she has no talent for it. She believed that her father had grown cold to her because of her inability to perform alchemy, so she becomes Ed’s student in hopes of acceptance. She has a cheerful disposition and is a hard worker with a love for flowers, especially the Etherflower. She has a pair of wings that grow from her back. The truth was she was a transmutation of Wilhelm's real daughter, Selene. When the Philosopher's Catalyst was complete, an object meant to be transmuted was incompatible with the wings so it rebounded to Selene. The professor used the wings to stop the rebound, but Selene was transmuted to Armony. Armony's source of life is the power of the wings and if that power is directed to somewhere else, she would die. That's the reason why she never became an alchemist. When Carmilla learned the truth, she abducted Armony and started to transmute her into her chimeras, but the girl's father intervened, which resulted in destroying Armony's wings and scarred Camilla. Near death, Wilhelm took his daughter to his lab, where he took both his life and hers. Her name in the Japanese version, "Tobenai Tenshi", was actually "Armony Angelstein".
Professor Wilhelm Eiselstein
Exclusive to "Broken Angel", he's one of Ten Alchemists and considered a world authority on catalytics – the study of making efficient alchemy. Eiselstein is also a friend of Izumi Cutis. He is researching the “Philosopher’s Catalyst,” a legendary material that has powers comparable to the Philosopher’s Stone. When Chimeras attacked the Hiessgart, he took the initiative by evacuating the residents and establishing the New Hiessgart. He stopped Carmilla from transmuting Almony, but his daughter was going to die with her wings destroyed. Then he took Almony to his lab where he took his own life and his daughter's. His name in the Japanese version, "Tobenai Tenshi", was actually "Wilhelm Angelstein".
Camilla
The villain of "Broken Angel", an eye-patched woman behind the chimera attacks in Hiessgart, posing as Wilhelm's assistant Greta to get possession of the Philosopher's Catalyst. It turned out she was a legendary alchemist who was working on the Catalyst herself, only to disappear under mysterious circumstances. Her three Chimeras (Behemoth, Ziz, and Leviathan) feed on the flesh of alchemists provided by Nemda to serve as catalysts for a refined Philosopher's Catalyst. With Almony in her grasp, Camilla intended to transmute Almony & her Chimeras to create a perfected Philosopher's Catalyst. But Professor Eislstein threw an Etherflower at Camilla to cancel the transmuation, destorying the Catalyst in Almony & causing Carmilla's face to mutate in the process. Camilla retaliated for her face and plans ruined by merging her chimeras into a single monster to kill everyone, only for the fused beast to be destroyed by the Elric Bros. Camilla escaped and still is on the loose.
Slicer Brothers
A pair of serial killers who had their souls sealed into a single suit of armor and became one of the guardians of the 5th laboratory under the joint alias of "Number 48", assigned to kill any intruders. After being defeated by Edward, they wished him to take their lives but Edward refused to kill them. But when he treated them like humans the younger brother (body) made up up his mind and took his own life. The older brother (head) lived on to take Edward to where the Philosopher's Stone was in work before Lust killed him in a attempt to force Edward to help her.
In the Manga, the older brother was killed by Lust, and the younger by Envy. This was so that they could not tell information about the stones.
Arlen Gloster
Exclusive to "Curse of the Red Elixir". An elderly man who acts younger than he looks, Arlen is an expert on ancient cultures. He was an adventurous archeologist before he retired, and anything that sparks his interest is most likely to have him resume his research.
Elma
Exclusive to "Curse of the Red Elixir", this mysterious teenage girl in strange clothing handed a strange ring to Ed.
Jack Crowley
Exclusive to "Curse of the Red Elixir". A former State Alchemist, Jack used to be known as the Silver Bullet Alchemist. A highly intelligent man, he dabbled into Human Transmutation & managed to make a breakthrough. However, his recklessness got him court marshaled.
Phantom
From "Curse of the the Red Elixir", a mysterious figure whose entire body glows a sickly pale blue. For some odd reason, it purses the Elric Brothers. While not bright, the Phantom is a deadly fighter.
Mei
From the manga, she is a wandering alchemist from the far-eastern country of Xing. Accompanied by a tiny panda, she is searching for more knowledge in alchemy. Mei had a crush on Edward, although she never met him and wanted to meet him badly. She does meet him later on, but is unable to reconize him and calls him, 'bean boy'.
Ling Yao
From the manga, he a member of the Ling Royal Family of the Empire of Xing. He is search for the Philosopher's Stone so it could be used to stablize his country. At one point he is imprisoned in the Central City jail for traveling in Amestris without the proper passport, and strikes a deal with Barry the Chopper to spring him out. He then smuggles Maria Ross out of Amestris so she can hide after being accused of Hughes' murder.
Fu
From the manga, he is one of the two body guards that guards Ling Yao.
Lan Fan
From the manga, she of two body guards that guards Ling Yao. She can sense the presence of a soul, thus she can quickly identify Homocunli like Envy that have more than one soul in their Proto-Philosopher's Stones, meaning she can easily see through Envy's disguises. She seems to have a huge crush on Ling Yao. In chapter 47 she cuts off her arm after it is rendered useless in an effort to divert Bradley's attention away from her.
Han
From the manga, he is a Xingese man in charge of immigration and then some.
Sophie Belkman
Exclusive to the 'God-surprassing girl', a mysterious young girl with a strange tranmuation circe-like symbol embedded in her right hand.
Referred as a most inhumane form of Alchemy by some, a chimera is the result of fusing two or more different creatures into a single entity. One of Basque Gran's dark projects involve creating "beast-man" chimeras for militant reasons, with help from Shou Tucker (who grew to despise this work, especially when it affected his personal life and drove him mad) and other Alchemists (some who regret it). The Elrics encountered both types of Chimera, though only the 'Beast-Men' types are listed. The brothers encountered the first three listed below when they were human.
Shou Tucker
The Sewing Life Alchemist. He was a man who became famous by his experiment that produced a chimera that could speak just as a human could, though the creature starved itself to death after it was publicly shown. He played host for the Elric brothers while they studied for the State Alchemist exams until Ed found out Shou used his wife to create that chimera.
In the anime, to keep his position as a State Alchemist and forced by Basque, Shou used Nina and the family dog in the creation of a new talking chimera, costing Shou his own daughter and his sanity. When the Elric brothers arrived too late to stop him, Shou only explained to an enraged Ed that he would have lost Nina either way and has no one to comfort him, that those with power can't help but use it.
He was seemingly sentenced to death by Basque, to cover up the truth of Shou's talking chimeras and the general's involvement. But in reality, Shou was sent to the 5th Lab to continue his research in the Military's 'super-soldier' project on human subjects. In return, Basque allowed Tucker to revive Nina on his spare time. But it always ended in failure, with one attempt turning the man into an extremely deformed beast-man chimera, thus Tucker suffered the fate he gave his own wife and his daughter. But after his failed attempts, he joined up with the Homocunli with the promise to create a homoculus in the form of his daughter, with his memories of her to serve as basis for her. He joined with Greed's group as part of his agreement with Lust, only to betray Greed later for the offer of being re-enlisted in the military under Frank Archer on the condition that he can work on whatever he wants without question. Using that newfound privilege, Tucker used his research to create lifeless dolls in Nina's image. Learning that Al is host of the Philosopher's Stone, he deceived the boy, by offering to teach him how to master the Stone, in using the stone's power to transfer Nina from her chimera body into her new human body. It didn't work as Tucker intended and only made him even more insane.
In the manga, Tucker was killed by Scar, along with the Nina-chimera, shortly after the truth about his experiments was discovered by the Elrics. Tucker is not insane in the manga either, just horribly evil. He was not forced by Basque to conduct his experiments, but rather performed them of his own accord. Of the men killed by Scar, he may have been the most deserving, placing his career over the lives of his wife and daughter.
Nina Tucker
Shou Tucker's only daughter, Nina was two years old when her mother "went away" (unaware of what really happened to her). Two years later, when the Elric brothers were living with the Tuckers, Nina was like the little sister Ed never had. She loved to play outside with the family dog, Alexander. Unfortunately, when her father's State Alchemist certification was coming up, Basque forced Tucker to do something he hoped to never do again: create another talking chimera by fusing Nina and Alexander. Despite Ed's intent to restore Nina, Shou explained the fusion was perfect, so separation could harm or even kill the girl and her dog. Confused and scared when Basque had her and her father to be taken to the 5th Laboratory, 'Nina-chimera' ran and encountered Scar who gave her a mercy killing (destroying her from inside out). Her remains were gathered and taken to the 5th Laboratory where her now 'chimera' father attempted to revive her in his spare time. It always ended in failure though as he could not recreate Nina's soul. After being re-enlisted as a State Alchemist on his conditions, Shou went to no end to create a new Nina. This was accomplished by tricking Al to use the Philosopher's Stone to transfer Nina from her chimera body into a "lifeless doll" that was made in her image. The transfer was a success but all it accomplished was placed Nina in a comatose state. Even with the stone's power, Tucker's will and alchemical skills were not strong enough to bind his daughter's soul to her new body.
Lute D. Saxophon
The Villain of "Sonata of Memories", he was a student under Cravis. He was the one behind the game's events and transmuted his love Lila into a Chimera to save her life as he lacked the skills of healing alchemy. Since then, Lute vowed to make the Military pay for Lila's sake. It turned out he was son of Dalt Dalimer and intended to use the Philosopher's Stone (created from the transmutation of the military's souls) to merge Lila's soul into him. Something went horribly wrong and Lute became a mindless chimera. Lute was killed, but died knowing Lila's feelings for him.
Lila Amore
Exclusive to "Sonata of Memories" game, she was Viola's little sister and Lute's love interest. She was mortally injured the day Fagott, under military order, transmuted the girl's parents into chimeras. Lute took her to the hospital, but her wounds were too severe. Lute did the only thing he could do: transmute his love into a talking Chimera in order to save her life. Her inhuman form was unintended and he distanced himself from her as a result. Lila was by Fagott's side until they were killed by Lute, who convinced himself the chimera he created was not Lila. Though it was Lute that made her a chimera and killed her, she bore no ill will towards him and loved him. She had her sister Viola tell Lute for her before she died.
Martel
One of the Chimeras that joined Greed to get revenge on the military for what they had done to her. She, Dolcetto, and Roa were of the Amestris Special Forces, whose defiling of an Ishbal temple and killing everyone in it was the real cause for the war. After that, she and her group were transferred to the 5th Laboratory, where they became test subjects in Shou Tucker's Chimera research. Martel was fused with a snake, giving her enhanced agility and able to stretch her arms to long distances. She escaped the military after Greed's death, only to reappear in Lior. It was there Martel met her end at the hands of Pride, when she found out his secret during their fight and he silenced her in a gruesome matter. But Martel lived just long enough to reveal the truth to the Elrics in her final breath.
In the manga version, Martel is killed in the sewers by the Fuhrer shortly after he had pinned Greed to the wall of the sewers with his swords.
Dolcetto
A loyal Chimera that swore loyalty to Greed. Much like Nina, he was fused with a dog but retained his human appearance. Because he is part dog, he can use his newfound speed with his great swordsmanship. He was killed by the Homocunli when he fought them to give Greed safe passage to Dante. A common translation is Dorochet.
Roa
A chimera that follows Greed. He was fused with a bull, making him as strong as one. He wields a hammer as his weapon and has an ability to transform into a steroid enhanced version of himself with more bull-like aspects like horns. He was killed by the Homocunli when he fought them to give Greed safe passage to Dante. A common translation is Law.
Biddo
A chimera that followed Greed under Zolf Kimblee's command. He was fused with a lizard.
The Homunculi are humans that are created artificially by alchemy. They are much like natural humans with the exception of a soul. They are actually created as a by-product of failed attempts at human transmutation. Though not inherently immortal, by consuming incomplete Philosopher's Stones they can prolong their lives indefinitely and gain regeneration from any injury, or even death. They do have one weakness: they become very vulnerable (sometimes paralyzed) if they get too close to a part of the person that was to be revived (a part of their former body). They are also incapable of using alchemy (as they 'came' from the other side of the Gate), although each one of them has a supernatural ability to make up for it. Their goal is to see a true Philosopher's Stone created, as they have been told that it would give them souls so they can be fully human, though they are all being used by Dante. They are each named after one of the seven deadly sins and an ouroboros is tattooed somewhere on their bodies. In the anime, the location never matters; in the manga the Ouroborus location is also where their fake Philosopher's Stone is located that allows them to come back to life and break the laws of alchemy in their attacks. If they are killed enough times, their incomplete Philosopher's Stones will be used up and they will turn into dust.
Not having a soul seems to turn them into sociopaths. They are able to kill anything without restraint, showing no emotion at all, where most of the sociopathic humans in the series at least relish killing. Even people who should have some shadow of an emotional attatchment for them (mostly through flashbacks from their 'previous' lives) they can kill without even showing any change in facial expression. Never choosing to be killers, the homunculi can be best described as empty, and they can feel that something is missing. This is why they long to be human. Though they are undoubtably evil, (as would be expected of incarnations of sin) they are almost tragic figures corrupted by the science of alchemy, and the mistakes of selfish humans. Most homunculi have human needs and drives, such as childlike need for attachment to a mother figure, or revenge.
Lust
She is the first of the Homunculi encountered in the series, sultry and cool-headed. Her title is "Ultimate Lance" because her fingers are razor sharp and she can extend them to stab people. While she met the Elrics when they were on their way to Central City for the first time, she properly introduced herself to them in the 5th Lab. She tends to be more involved with the intrigue side of various conspiracies. She was created by Scar's brother when he attempted to use alchemy to bring his lover back from the dead. It is speculated that during the transmutation, Scar's brother lost part or all of his male reproductive organs as part of the equivalent exchange. She was not the first Homunculus to bear the name of Lust, and is one of the younger Homunculi. She was killed by Wrath when she went against Dante. Her tattoo was located, naturally, on her chest.
Lust in the manga never shared the same background story as her anime counterpart. She was just another homunculus that followed her lustful ways. She met her destruction at the flames of Roy who burnt her until her incomplete Philosopher's Stone was used up. Roy suffered greivous wounds and Havoc was paralyzed by her before she died.
Gluttony
He is one of the older Homunculi, despite having the mentality of a child and lacking a will of his own. True to his name, he is always eager to eat anything, or anyone, living or dead. Most of his muscles are in his jaws and his saliva is acidic, even dissolving the toughest metals to feed his ravenous appetite. He emotionally latches onto Lust like a young child to its mother. Little is known of his past, though Envy hinted that Gluttony was created to make a Philosopher's Stone from those he consumed. Dante transmuted Gluttony to a mindless monster so he could eat Al and perfect the Philosopher's Stone in his stomach. Gluttony fell victim to Al's alchemy, his lower jaw dissolved. He was last seen trying to devour Dante; what happened to them is a mystery. His tattoo is located on his tongue.
In the manga version, Gluttony's character is mostly the same. He falls into a slump after Lust's death like in the anime. Eventually, Gluttony gets captured by Ling Yao and Edward. When he finds Roy Mustang, who had killed Lust earlier, he goes into a fit of rage, revealing his true form, which looks like his body has been split in half with giant claws with a large eye inside him, much like the one inside the Gate.
Pride
In the anime, to the public, he is King Bradley, the Führer (or President) of the military and de facto leader of Amestris. He was created by Dante for the purpose of infiltration and to control the military so that Dante could be the puppet master behind all military actions. His tattoo is on his left eye, which he covers with an eye patch. His "Ultimate Eye" allows him see all possible outcomes of situations so he can predict the moves of an opponent before they happen. He was Dante's finest creation as he was the only Homunculus who can age like a normal human. This enabled Pride to live among humans and even have a family of his own, with a son named Selim, whom he strangled to death when the boy inadvertantly gave Roy Mustang an advantage against him. What Selim thought to be his father's most valuable possession was actually the skull of the man Pride was modeled after, who seems to look like the first body in which Dante transferred Hohenheim's soul into (Episode 44). Mustang used it to immobilize Pride so he could incinerate the villain during the last episode.
In the manga, however, Pride was an entirely different character yet to be revealed, as Bradley is the Homunculus Wrath. So far in the manga, Pride has only appeared as a disembodied voice speaking to the other Homunculi. He is obviously in control of the other Homunculi though and seems to be highly respected and feared.
Envy
An effeminate figure with dry wit, he has the ability to assume the form of any person and copy their voice. He also displays super-strength and high agility. He is so old in that he usually takes on the form of a young boy because he claimed to "forget" what his original form looked like (which resembled a teenage Hohenheim). He mainly helps Dante and the other Homunculi by posing as someone to take advantage of people. He imprisoned Greed in the 5th Laboratory.
He was created by Hohenheim when he attempted to use alchemy revive his and Dante's son, who had died from mercury poisoning. Envy held a great hatred toward Hohenheim for never being acknowledged by the man as his son and for abandoning him and Dante, with whom he has a rocky relationship. But by the time he learned that Hohenheim remarried and fathered two sons, Envy was even more furious and took it out on his 'younger half-brothers', Ed and Al, as it was the next best thing to killing their 'old man'. He even killed Ed, though Al managed to revive him with the Philosopher's Stone. Upon learning Hohenheim is still alive and beyond the gate, Envy became excited with the thought of being able to kill Hohenheim himself and went through the gate. Envy ended up on the other side and is still alive and still bent on revenge. He crosses paths with Edward once more in the movie. His tattoo is located on his left outer thigh.
In the manga, however, there are no signs of any grudge between him and Hohenheim unlike in the anime due to the difference in the Homunculus theory between the two media. Like the anime, the body Envy spends most of his time in is not his real body. There are several strong hints in the manga that point to Envy's real body being a terrifying monster of some sort.
Sloth
In the anime, as the youngest Homunculus, Sloth had become somewhat a key member of the group. She assumed the identity of Captain Juliet Douglas, a soldier who was said to have sparked the Ishbal War by killing an unarmed Ishbal child and died two years ago during the time the Elrics were looking for the Philosopher's Stone. Through manipulation and plotting with Pride, she became his secretary, serving as his representative. She was a hydrokinetic and able to convert the molecules in her body to a liquid substance to suffocate people in. She was created by the Elric brothers when they tried to resurrect their mother, Trisha Elric. For this reason, she looks exactly like her, using it to her advantage on Alphonse until she fell victim to the memories of her 'life' as Trisha, seeing that killing the Elric brothers should stop the pain. She had the tattoo of Ouroboros above her left breast and acts like a mother to Wrath taking care of him. However, Wrath unknowingly plays a part in her death as he accidentally absorbs her (along with Trisha's bones he absorbed earlier), leaving her vulnerable to be turned into ethanol by Ed, causing her to dissipate into the atmosphere.
The manga Sloth was an entirely different (male) character. His only real appearence in the manga is of him digging a gigantic hole somewhere. His body is huge and muscled from all the labor he does. Apparently he uses his hands to dig for his work which bleed. He is chained up and forced to work and his Ouroborus is located on the back of his right shoulder area.
Greed
A slick character, a ladies' man and all-around arrogant fellow. He is the 130-year old Homunculus known as the Ultimate Shield, as he is able to make himself impervious to harm by rearranging the bonds between the carbon (most likely in a diamond-like structure) atoms in his body to take on a black-skinned zombie appearance. Unlike the others, he has no interest in the Philosopher's Stone as he was swayed from that by the temptation of money, women, and power (hence his name).
Originally, Greed was a man who was in love with one of Dante's earlier incarnations. He died from unspecified causes and was resurrected by Dante into a Homunculus. He spent the last century imprisoned in the 5th Laboratory after disobeying his creator. The seal that imprisoned him was stabilized by the skull of the man Greed himself was modeled after. But when that skull was shattered by the explosion caused by Barry's escape from Al and Scar, the seal was broken and Greed was freed. Greed took the opportunity to liberate and recruit the other Chimeras that were imprisoned with him out of common interests of revenge on the military. Kimblee and Shou Tucker were also in Greed's inner circle as well. Greed later resurfaced after the 5th Laboratory incident to abduct Al so he could gain more knowledge on soul transmutation (he wanted to be immortal). Greed hid at the Devil's Nest bar until Kimblee betrayed him, forcing Greed to seek Dante's help, but she punished him for disobedience by having him vomit out all the incomplete Philosopher's Stones inside his body, weakening him for the fight to follow when Edward pierced Greed's heart with his automail, but he reveals the weaknesses of the others before dying. His tattoo was on his left hand.
The manga Greed was never sealed inside the 5th Laboratory, but hanged out at the Devil's Nest with his loyal chimera allies. When Hohenheim asked if he wanted to come back with the other Homunculi and team up, Greed said he was far too greedy. As a result, Greed was boiled alive in oil with the incomplete Philosopher's Stone inside him extracted and drank by Hohenheim.
Wrath
In the anime, he is the second-most recent Homunculus created. The 10-14 year old child is unique in that he possesses the ability to perform alchemy without a transmutation circle. He can do this because he has a discolored human arm and leg, which were originally Edward's. His inherent Homunculus ability is fusing his body's form with other objects. He had to live in the Gate until he attained Ed's limbs, then he had to live alone on a deserted island. He isn't accepted anywhere--until he was found by Envy and was 'awakened'. Wrath wanted the rest of Edward's body because he was under the impression that he could absorb it and be completely human. His power is fusing with anything around him, living or not. He was created when Izumi Curtis attempted to bring her baby son back to life with alchemy. Unlike the other Homunculi, there was nothing left of the baby's body from the transmutation, making Wrath practically invincible. His only two weaknesses were that he was afraid of the sound of a wailing baby and the confusion he gets when he sees Izumi, as he came to believe Sloth is his mother. Dante got sick of Wrath's whining of Sloth's death and banished him though the Gate, where his human limbs were ripped away from him by the spirits within before he made it back. After Edward's sacrifice, Winry fitted Wrath with automail akin to Ed's and his current whereabouts are unknown, though he is to reappear in the movie. His tattoo was on the bottom of his right foot.
In the manga version, Wrath is King Bradley who revealed himself when he was fighting Greed. See the Pride entry for more on Bradley.
