She is almost like a sister to the two of them, and they treat each other like family because of their close upbringing and years of friendship.

Roy Mustang is a federal alchemist and an officer in the Amestris military. He was honored as a Civil War hero in Ishwal, resulting in him becoming the superior and later senior officer of Edward Elric.

Colonel Mustang plans to become the next Fuhrer of Amestris, with enough potential to carry out the task.

Scar is inserted into history as a federal alchemist serial killer, acting alone, using no name, and having his own justice in accordance with the fundamental principles of his religion and, of course, out of revenge for himself and for his brother. people who died in the war.

He is one of the survivors of the Ishwal Civil War, and his nickname “Scar” comes from the large X-shaped scar located right in the center of his forehead. In addition, his appearance also features an alchemical tattoo on his right arm, which originally belonged to his older brother (and which he uses to kill his victims).

Mace Hughes is a typical character who is impossible to hate. He was an excellent soldier, extremely intelligent and competent, the first among the federal alchemists to discover that the enemy had infiltrated the headquarters.

He is also remembered for being a very loving father and A-A’s husband, always talking about how adorable his little daughter is and how much he loves his wife. The way he dies still revolts all fans to this day, and his wake was one of the saddest scenes in anime.

Ling decided that he would travel from Sin to Amestris to try to learn something about the secret of immortality through the Philosopher’s Stone.

One of the homunculi, greed is the personification of part of the Father’s greed. He holds the title “Supreme Shield” for his ability to redistribute the carbon in his body to make his skin hard as a diamond, making him impenetrable to most weapons and attacks.

As his name suggests, he is stingy and likes to live in luxury, and also has a habit of losing people in manga. Despite his greedy nature, he sometimes seems to care about his subordinates.

King Bradley is one of the main antagonists of the anime, one of the seven homunculi created by Father. He also served as Amestris’ original Fuhrer while serving as head of state. As a warrior, he possesses remarkable above-average swordsmanship. However, in both the manga and the 2009 anime series, he is an important character, participating in a plan to make Amestris a tool for his father’s plan to become a supreme being.

As Führer, Bradley is highly respected, although his political views are questionable in some cases, such as in the Ischwal Civil War (which was one of many uprisings to help create the huge Philosopher’s Stone for the pope).

Selim Bradley is the son of King Bradley, the Fuhrer of Amestris, and I’m sure you remember this little boy as one of the main plot twists of the series. In both the manga and the 2009 series, he eventually revealed himself as Pride, the first homunculus created by Father. As a result, he became the embodiment of the most cruel, the most harmful and the purest evil.

He despises humans and respects only homunculi, considering them superior beings. In addition, he is second in command of the homunculi, being the strongest among them.

Like other homunculi, Lust is the embodiment of Father’s lust. Her creator is slightly flirtatious, but she enjoys the object of others’ desires, cherishing their desires so that she can fulfill her duties that were ordained by the Father.

Usually her partner was Gluttony, with whom she seemed to have a special, almost maternal closeness and partnership.

Envy is the personification of a part of the envy of the Father, its creator. This homunculus is genderless and has the ability to change its physical form, being able to assume the form of any existing human. You will surely remember and hate him because of this ability as he used it to kill Hughes using his cruelty by turning into an officer’s wife.

This creature only exists to make people suffer by hating people more than any other homunculus, which is why it becomes so cruel and sick. It is also one of only two homunculi to have a “true form”, which are nothing more than the physical embodiment of their traits and personality, who eventually take on a form when they are about to be defeated.

Sloth is a homunculus who is the personification of some of Father’s sloths, either in the manga or the 2009 anime. In combat, Sloth can use his fists and wrist chains in conjunction with his super strength.

He can also crush and tear apart solid rock and even steel with his bare hands. He can also easily crush a human body, even if by accident.

Gluttony is often seen eating the remains of a random person or creature, especially the victims of his fellow homunculi, unless he is directly ordered to devour someone. He usually appears accompanied by Lust.

Van Hohenheim is an older and extremely powerful alchemist, and the father of Edward and Alphonse. He mysteriously disappeared during the boys’ childhood, but returned midway through the series to right the wrongs he made in his secret past.

Known as the Primordial Homunculus, he is also called “Dwarf in a Bottle” (from Hohenheim) and “Father” (from his “children”). This is the main antagonist Fullmetal Alchemist, the creator of the homunculi we’ve seen so far.

He strives to become absolutely “superior” to the human race. One of his appearances is very similar to Van Hohenheim. This is because the Father was created from a mixture of the essence of the Eye and the blood of Hohenheim, resulting in this dark form that inherited a lot of knowledge. Even when it comes to knowledge, only the Eye and Truth excel in this regard.
