Letting Armin Go on the Battlefield
Riza Hawkeye, with long blonde hair, is a soldier and Mustang's adjutant and partner. She possesses eyesight eight times that of an average person (see guidebook), is a skilled marksman, and a renowned sniper, known as "Hawkeye." Her father was a famous alchemist, Mustang also studied alchemy under him.
Roy Mustang's mentor's daughter, with her father's lifelong research in alchemy engraved on her back. Before becoming Mustang's adjutant, she participated in the Ishval War. After the war, she served as Mustang's adjutant and often criticized Mustang, frequently calling Mustang incompetent. She holds the rank of lieutenant in the military and currently serves in the Eastern Command. As Mustang's adjutant (later transferred to the central command as the Führer's secretary), she is always by Mustang side handling affairs. She possesses superb marksmanship and a calm, collected personality, coupled with her blunt and unforgiving tone, making her both feared and respected by those around her. At the same time, everything she does is for the person she must protect (Roy Mustang), and she will continue fighting until that person achieves their goals. She and Mustang have an exceptionally high level of understanding, often communicating using coded language incomprehensible to ordinary people (as seen in the Fifth Laboratory incident and the incident where she was threatened by Pride).
Mustang said, "I entrust my back to you, which means that if I go astray, you can kill me on the spot. You have that right." In addition, during the period when Mustang was blind, Lisa fought against "Father" as Mustang's "eyes," proving that Lisa's position in Mustang's heart was that of an inseparable partner.
Lisa Hawke
In public, she is a steady and reliable adjutant; in private, she is a gentle and caring older sister. Lisa often gives Edward Elric, Al, and Winry Rockbell advice, demonstrating her mature and dependable nature.
In both the anime and manga, he ultimately stayed by Mustang's side.
In both the anime and manga, she remained by Mustang's side until the very end. However, the official sources did not indicate that the two were engaged, but an animator who worked on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood subtly released an image of Mustang and Hawkeye getting married (right).
Kim Bradley is Android ages like a human. Originally an orphan, he was groomed as a candidate for "President" and then created Android to be the final trump card in the plan. He made great contributions and became a dictator, commanding large-scale annihilation operations, all to ensure the success of the grand "Promised Day" plan.
The first Android, whose body will age gradually like a normal person. As the 12th presidential candidate, he received a rigorous and systematic elite education from a young age, excelling in both academics and martial arts. When his physical abilities reached their peak, he was injected with the Philosopher's Stone, and he withstood a violent rejection reaction, becoming the first presidential candidate to survive (the other candidates were used to delay Edward Elric and his group in the final underground battle).
During his fusion with the Philosopher's Stone, his body was consumed by rage, and his left eye decayed. However, he gained a leap in physical abilities, especially the ability to easily catch bullets, earning him the title of "Ultimate Eye." With his exceptional eyesight, extraordinary physical strength, and unparalleled swordsmanship, he rose through the ranks amidst gunfire, ascending to the presidency in his forties. Being half human, his emotions are far richer than other Android, and he possesses the insight and vision befitting a ruler. The Ouroboros Tattoo is on his left eye.
The Führer's Haki entrance in Fate/Apocrypha, instantly defeating the long-time adversary Binglian, left a deep impression. His strength was evident in his battle against Greed, another Android, where he effortlessly overpowered Greed without sustaining any damage. Later, during his fight with Ling Yao, the snake-biting mark on his left eye was discovered, revealing his identity to the protagonist and his group. He then used hostages to blackmail the protagonist and the colonel, forcing them to work towards the goal of "The Promised Day." On the day before the Promised Day, he went to inspect the east, where he was betrayed by Vice Admiral Grumman, and his train was bombed.
However, the Führer escaped unharmed thanks to his Ultimate Eye and walked back to Central City to prepare for the Promised Day. Upon entering his castle, he fought Greed, Fu, and others. In the end Fu and Captain Buccaneer sacrificed their lives to severely injure Bradley, successfully causing Greed to disable his Ultimate Eye and push Bradley into the moat. Even with his severe injuries, he was still able to instantly defeat the Colonel and, together with Pride, force him to undergo Human Transmutation. Finally, in his duel with Scar, due to his severe injuries and excessive blood loss, his Ultimate Eye was disabled; and due to bad luck, he was blinded by the sunlight at the end of the solar eclipse when he was about to deliver the fatal blow to Scar, and was killed by Scar.
Before his death, he felt at peace with the fact that his life had not been completely controlled by his father, and he was very proud of the wife he had chosen. He said that he did not need to leave any last words for her because "a king's wife will have certain qualities."
Because the manga couldn't keep up, the 2003 version had to be original. In the 2003 version, the Führer became Pride, and although he still ages, he possesses an extremely strong self-regenerating ability. In the 2003 version, the Führer rarely fights. He ultimately has a final battle with the Colonel at his mansion. Initially, the Führer completely dominates, severely injuring the Colonel. However, his adopted son, Selim Bradley, accidentally delivers his skeleton, severely suppressing his strength and regenerative abilities. He is ultimately burned to death by the Colonel.
Zolph J. Kimblee, the Crimson Alchemist. He possesses transmutation circles on his palms, capable of causing explosions simply by placing his hands on any object. He favors white suits, is elegant in demeanor, and is a bomb fanatic with unique values; Scar's scar is a direct result of his actions. Kimblee exhibits perfectionist obsession and respects anyone who can uphold their beliefs. He believes everyone is caught in the game of the world and eagerly awaits to see which side the world will choose. At the end of the Ishval Extermination War, he blew five officers to pieces, earning him a seven-year prison sentence. Upon release, he was sent to the Briggs Northern Wall to carve the Blood Crest. In the manga's final chapter, he is bitten in the neck by the chimera lion and later devoured by the Android Pride (Pride), but his will remains intact. He ultimately prevents Pride from possessing Edward Elric's body and departs.
Steeliness. Whether enemy, civilian, or subordinate, anyone who stands in his way will be killed without hesitation. His white tuxedo, gentlemanly demeanor, elegant manners, and unrestrained laughter reflect a heart devoid of any mercy.
Zolf J. Kimblee
Observation. "I want to see the world change... the clash of awareness against awareness, will against will, life against life, and belief against belief!... What is right? What is powerful? Who will survive to the end? What will be the world's choice?" Kimblee is perhaps the only character in Fullmetal Alchemist who doesn't stand on the side of either humanity or the Android. As an observer, he witnesses with us this magnificent battle for survival between humans and Android. From his own perspective, all he seeks is to "use his alchemy with pleasure and without restraint," even if it means "taking people's lives and leaving only hatred and sorrow."
Life. Standing before the corpses of Winry Rockbell's parents, he lamented, "I wish I had seen them while they were alive." Kimblee did not disregard the value of life; on the contrary, it was precisely because of the preciousness and value of life that he felt Koby sense of existence as the "Destroyer." Whether humans or Android won, the world would be plunged into chaos. Perhaps Kimblee knew that those before him would ultimately face annihilation, even a fate worse than death, which allowed him to annihilate them without hesitation.
Faith. "Life" and "faith" are the two words that appear most frequently in Kimblee's speech. Just as the sun and moon in the transmutation circles on his hands represent "spirit" and "soul," a person's spirit depends on life, while the soul depends on faith. "I like people who follow their own will." He was immersed in his own beliefs, abandoning everything else, yet he never mocked the beliefs of others.
Zolf J. Kimblee
Jeopardy is dangerous. If we say "Kimblee is dangerous," then this has two meanings: 1. Kimblee himself is dangerous; 2. Kimblee's situation is dangerous. He not only sows danger among his enemies and those around him, but he also often finds himself in perilous situations. Constantly living with death makes him acutely aware of his own existence. "He who builds death is chased by death... Only work done with the soul possesses true beauty."
Keenness. Kimblee possesses first-rate memory, observation, and reasoning abilities, and dressed in a white tuxedo, he resembles a true detective. Despite lacking combat experience due to his long time in prison, he remains one of the humans with the highest overall abilities in Fullmetal Alchemist.
Insistence. Kimblee possesses an extremely strong sense of self-respect, never giving up and never stopping until he achieves his goal. This is why the Android entrust him with important tasks. In this world where he doesn't belong, only persistence can preserve his original self.
Might. A belief beyond human comprehension requires the support of power beyond human capabilities. Kimblee pursues immense power, even risking imprisonment for the Philosopher's Stone. His transmutation circles, containing yin and yang and the four elements, can, with the aid of the Philosopher's Stone, destroy half a city in a single strike. While Scar hunts State Alchemists, he can actively hunt Scar. It is precisely this power that makes him "a being recognized by the world."
Behavior. Kimblee's understanding of the world, his acceptance of his own beliefs, and his self-respect prevented him from becoming a madman like Barry. Instead, he became a refined and elegant gentleman. This demeanor was not to please others, but rather stemmed from his own nature, because he did not like to hide his true thoughts, expressing both his likes and dislikes directly. Gentleness and unbridled wildness could be combined in him without any awkwardness.
Loneliness. Fireworks, magnificent yet dangerous, are ultimately admired from afar. The fireworks, blooming so fiercely, leave no room for others to approach.
Explosion. Alchemy is supposed to be a technology that benefits humanity, but Kimblee took its other side to the extreme. His alchemy exists entirely for destruction. Kimblee himself is like a bomb: normally rational and calm, he often falls into a frenzy when he is engrossed in his alchemy. Have you noticed how similar Scar's and Kimblee's skill effects are? The only difference is that the former directly disintegrates, while the latter disintegrates more effectively after disintegration and reconstruction.
Extraordinary. Kimblee is a man detached from reality; the phrase "forced by reality" cannot be applied to him. While acknowledging himself as an outsider, he also points out the world's acceptance of him, meaning that it wasn't he who conformed to the world, but rather the world that chose him. "Go your own way, and leave others with no way to go"—this phrase perfectly encapsulates Kimblee's life.
Like Hohenheim, Dante gained longevity by transferring his body 400 years ago. However, like Hohenheim of Light, he gradually lost the ability to resist the deterioration of his physical body during the soul transfer process due to the deterioration of his soul. When he was Izumi Curtis Cadis's teacher, he was in the body of an old woman. Later, he transferred his soul into Lyra's body and even attempted to transfer it into Rose's body again. In order to perform soul transfer, the power of the Philosopher's Stone is required. The Philosopher's Stone was created by an alchemist using herself as an intermediary and the lives of a large number of living people. Therefore, she secretly controls human society through the activities of the Android, plunging people into despair by waging wars and making them pursue the power of the Philosopher's Stone. By hiding the truth about the Philosopher's Stone, she guides those who seek it to complete Philosopher's Stone creation.
She was Hohenheim's lover 400 years ago and was also Izumi Curtis Kadis's mentor. Like Hohenheim, she gained longevity by transferring her body 400 years ago, hoping to maintain her youth and beauty forever. However, like Hohenheim, due to the deterioration of her soul during the transfer, she gradually lost the ability to resist the decay of her body. She selected bodies resulting from failed Human Transmutation, fed them the Philosopher's Stone as a half-finished product to become Android, and promised to use the Philosopher's Stone to transform them into humans, making them serve her. After Hohenheim's disappearance, she was unable to transmute the Philosopher's Stone on her own, but the power of the Philosopher's Stone was needed for soul transfers. The Philosopher's Stone was transmuted by alchemists using themselves as intermediaries and the lives of many living people. Therefore, she secretly controlled human society through the activities of the Android, instigating wars to plunge people into despair and make them pursue the power of the Philosopher's Stone, while concealing her true intention to transmute the Philosopher's Stone, guiding seekers to complete its creation, and then seizing it for herself.
When she was Izumi Curtis Cadis's teacher, she was in the body of an old woman, seemingly living a secluded life deep in the Dublith Forest. When Greed attacked their forest dwelling, she devised a plan to eliminate his regenerative abilities and transfer her soul into Lyra's body, causing Edward to mistakenly believe Dante had been killed, and thus killing Greed in the final battle. Afterwards, posing as Lyra, she lured Scar and Edward to cooperate in turning El into the Philosopher's Stone in Liore. As Lyra's body rapidly deteriorated, she hid with Rosa and their child in the true stronghold—the underground city of Central City —hoping to obtain the Philosopher's Stone and then transfer her soul into Rosa's body again.
Through the transmutation circle on Rosa's son, Dante first drove Hohenheim and Ed to the other side of the "Gate," then used the "Gate" to take away Wrath's right arm and left leg, rendering him unable to use alchemy. Simultaneously, he erased Gluttony's emotions and ordered him to eat El to create the Philosopher's Stone. After Ed was killed by Ambi, El used all the power of the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect his brother, causing Dante's plan to fail. Finally, while returning to Earth to attempt to recreate the Philosopher's Stone, Dante was caught and attacked by the out-of-control Gluttony and disappeared inside an elevator.
Lust is one of the seven Android in Fullmetal Alchemist. The seven Android represent the seven deadly sins, with Lust representing lust. His fingers can extend to become an indestructible Ultimate Spear. He and Gluttony (one of the seven Android, representing gluttony) gave Cornello and the Ice Alchemist, Zaku McDougall, a fake Philosopher's Stone. Zaku intended to use this power to freeze the center, but was thwarted by Edward Elric Rick and his brother Alphonse Elric Rick. During his escape, he encountered Führer King Bradley (one of the seven Android, representing wrath). Ultimately, Zaku was killed by Bradley for overusing the Fullmetal Alchemist Philosopher's Stone. (This plot point involving Zaku is not present in the manga; it's an original TV storyline.) Cornello, on the other hand, used the power of the fake Philosopher's Stone to make the naive residents of Liore believe that the dead could be resurrected, creating an army that feared no death.
However, the plan was later thwarted again by Edward Elric and his brother. Lust believed Cornello was no longer useful and killed Cornello. When Mas Hughes discovered the secrets of the military high command Lust wanted to kill him to cover it up, but he let Mas Hughes escape (although he injured Hughes' right arm and was shot in the head with a pistol but recovered. Hughes was later killed by Envy).
In episode 14 of Ace Combat, along with Gluttony, King Bradley, and Envy (one of the seven Android representing "jealousy"), they witness Grid (one of the seven Android representing "greed") being burned to death by Father. Later in the series, she pretends to be Havoc's girlfriend, hoping to extract information from him.
In episode 19 of Brotherhood, at the Third Laboratory, he encounters Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist who is tracking Barry's body (but whose soul is not Barry's ), and his subordinate Havoc. Mustang reveals his true identity and engages them in a fierce battle. Initially gaining the upper hand, Mustang cuts the water pipes above him, preventing him from unleashing flames. However, Mustang uses Havoc's lighter and the hydrogen and oxygen in the water to successfully release a large amount of flame. Just when the two think they are burned to death, Mustang hides under the floorboards and severely injures Havoc (later causing Havoc to lose both legs). Mustang intends to use the Philosopher's Stone within Harpok to save Havoc, but he doesn't realize the Philosopher's Stone is the core. He is careless and his body is reconstructed by Lust, severely damaging Mustang.
He then pursued Alphonse Elric and Lieutenant Hawkeye, but was attacked by Mustang who had caught up with him (Mustang had burned his wounds to stop the bleeding). Last was ultimately burned to Lust. Before his death, Lust had fallen for the calm and brave Mustang. This method of death conformed to medieval punishments for "lust": being suffocated in sulfur and fire.
Having lived for over a century, she possesses an eternally beautiful appearance. She will not lose her self-respect, nor will she ever be arrogant. For she knows the meaning of her existence [for Father...] and will never lose that noble heart until the light of her soul is extinguished.
Her prototype is Scar's lover. Her initial impression is of someone beautiful as a peach blossom but with a heart of stone, just like her abilities—glamorous yet deadly. She was created by Scar's brother over ten years ago through Human Transmutation in an attempt to resurrect his girlfriend. She harbors love for Scar and also has a special connection to Scar, who once loved "herself." Her only wish is to become a real person, yet this seems so unattainable. The love hidden within her leads her to agree to help Edward Elric and his group. Ultimately, she dies in the battle against Sloth and Wrath. At that moment, she realizes the purpose of her fight: she seeks death.
If you want to be satisfied, then remember, do not kneel before him.
The war granted Greed almost unlimited life. His desire to live, his desire to protect, his desire to win, and his desire to dominate—these desires intertwined, centered around a mask, and constituted his existence.
He has the ability to fulfill the needs of all the weak, as if weaving a dream for them. When the time is right, he will take back everything he has given you, as well as everything you originally possessed. All that will be left for you is a short lifespan to suffer and regret for.
He had faced countless attacks, but strangely, he seemed to regard those attacks as a kind of craving and desire. Those attackers often harbored extremely high hatred and murderous intent towards Greed, and the final result was that no matter how much they denied it, the attackers' power ultimately flowed towards Greed.
When war breaks out and blood flows like rivers, he appears and makes his promises to the people. Soldiers, generals, refugees, orphans—under his persuasion, even knowing that an abyss lies ahead, will eventually step forward.
Remember, if you want to achieve satisfaction, then...
Then they turned to him for salvation.
Xiu's Elf Journal
The Greed God does not exist.
Yes, in the very beginning of time, no one ever saw the Greed God.
However, this does not mean that those ancient elves were older than the Greed God.
From the moment the first spirit was born into this universe, from the moment it developed its own independent thought, greed has existed in its heart.
He lives in the deepest part of everyone's heart. He makes you restless, he makes you anxious, he makes you pray for more power, he makes you pursue more unrealistic nightmares, he leads you astray, he leads you into the abyss.
When greed gathered into an incomparably surging power in the hearts of all the elves, he— Greed, the Greed God —gained his own body.
You can't see his face clearly because his face looks like you, like me, and like him all at once.
You may be able to destroy his physical body, but you can never destroy his soul, because he is everywhere, and a part of him resides within you.
