Greed's Chimeras

    General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fmab_greed_chimeras.png
A group of chimeras who were experimented on by the military. They were presumably busted out by Greed and now follow him.

    Roa 

Roa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roa.png
Affiliation: Amestris Military (formerly)/Devil's Nest
Rank: Black-Ops (formerly)
Speciality: Super Strength/Hammer

The big guy, and part cow. He faces off against Armstrong during Bradley's raid.


    Martel 

Martel

Voiced by: Takako Honda (JP), Tiffany Grant (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/martel.png
Affiliation: Amestris Military (formerly)/Devil's Nest
Rank: Black-Ops (formerly)
Speciality: Knives/Flexibility

Part Snake. She goes forces herself inside Al's armor to slow him down, during Greed's bid for immortality.


  • Cute Monster Girl: Martel/Marta is a good-looking young woman with great flexibility, a contrast to the more overt mutations of other chimera characters. In particular, the other reptilian chimera, Bido, is fairly ugly.
  • Forced to Watch: A slight variant, but she was unable to do anything about Roa and Dolcetto's deaths due to being stuck inside of Al.
  • Fragile Speedster: She's fast and flexible, but also smaller than the other chimeras. She uses her speed to get into Al's armor, but it doesn't stop her from being stabbed by Bradley when she's unable to move.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Stabbed by Bradley.
  • Tattooed Crook: Has a large tribal tattoo on her right-hand side from her cheek down to her shoulder.

    Dolcetto 

Dolcetto

Voiced by: Anri Katsu (JP), John Burgmeier (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dolcetto.png
Affiliation: Amestris Military (formerly)/Devil's Nest
Rank: Black-Ops (formerly)
Speciality: Swordsmanship

Part dog. Greed's most loyal subordinate.


  • Cool Sword: Uses a katana.
  • Fragile Speedster: Very quick, but not bulky like Roa.
  • Furry Reminder: Greed mentions that he lifts his leg when he pees. Judging from his reaction, he'd rather not have people know that.
  • Katanas Are Just Better: Subverted in two senses: he is consistently beaten in combat in general, but his death ultimately is at the hands of Wrath, who wields straight-edged Western cavalry sabers.
  • The Nose Knows: Naturally, given which animal he is.
  • Undying Loyalty: Even more than the others, which he attributes to his doglike nature.

    Bido 

Bido

Voiced by: Yuji Ueda (JP), Greg Ayres (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bido.png
Affiliation: Devil's Nest (formerly)
Rank: None
Speciality: Agility

Part lizard. Greed's messenger, and the only survivor of Bradley's raid.


  • Back for the Dead: Disappears from the story after becoming the Sole Survivor of Wrath's massacre of his buddies. Then reappears just to stumble into Father's base and get killed by Greed II, causing Greed II to recover the original Greed's Genetic Memory.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Greed II stabs him in the gut when Bido tries to remind Greed of who he is.
  • Lizard Folk: He uses it to climb walls; his animal traits are also the most obvious of Greed's chimeras, giving him a tail and visible scales.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Only appears in a handful of episodes and is offed fairly quickly, but his death triggers Greed's Heel–Face Turn, which in turn plays a large part in derailing Father's plan.

Kimblee's Chimeras

    General 

A group of chimeras that Kimblee brought with him to Briggs - knowing that he can't trust Armstrong's men. Eventually, all four are left for dead by Kimblee, and all end up betraying him in the end. Zampano and Jerso join up with Marcoh and Scar, while Darius and Heinkel save Edward after he was nearly killed by Kimblee, then join him and Greed later on. They generally act as additional muscle for the heroes.


  • Badass Bookworm: Zampano and Jerso do some research on Scar to anticipate his behavior and counter his close-range fighting style, while Darius and Heinkel know enough chemistry to recite the components of dynamite and nitroglycerin at Ed's request.
  • Badass Crew: Chimeras are much stronger than the usual soldier, but these four are clear standouts. They can easily go toe-to-toe with Homunculi, or even Scar. Hell, Zampano and Darius even help out taking down Father.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: All four of them are motivated to ditch Kimblee and join the heroes by the latter showing them compassion despite being enemies at the time. In Darius and Heinkel's case, Kimblee leaving them for dead didn't exactly help his case, too.
  • The Big Guy: They're all physical powerhouses whose primary contributions are via their combat prowess, though they do occasionally help out in other ways, as well.
  • Blessed with Suck: Zampano and Jerso would like to return to their normal human body. Darius and Heinkel though, see their conditions as Cursed with Awesome instead.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: With Ed and Al (or just Ed in the case of Darius and Heinkel), who beat them in combat on the first try.
    • Al persuades the Briggs troops to spare Zampano and Jerso, who promise to help the heroes' investigation into the Central conspiracy.
    • After Kimblee blasts all three of them to the bottom of a mine shaft, Ed uses alchemy to push heavy rubble off of Darius and Heinkel and unpin them. In return, they help Ed remove a girder from his gut and look after him as he recovers before joining the heroes' side proper with Greed.
  • Disappeared Dad: Jerso is stated to have a daughter while Zampano is mentioned to have a son. Their respective kids also think they're dead and neither Jerso or Zampano plan on revealing they're alright until they're regular humans again.
  • Elite Mooks: They're a step up from regular Central soldiers both with and without their chimeric enhancements, and Ed needs a bit of brainpower to win his fights with them. This naturally leads to them being valuable allies after they desert Kimblee.
  • Heel–Face Turn: All of them betray Kimblee and join Ed.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: Before their Heel–Face Turn, all four of them were decent family men who were just stuck working under a psychopath like Kimblee.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Jerso, Zampano, Darius, and Heinkel can shift between human and half-animal forms at will.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Likely the reason why Kimblee doesn't bother to help Darius and Heinkel from the mineshaft collapse, which leads to their Heel–Face Turn.

    Zampano 

Zampano

Voiced by: Takashi Hikida (JP), Chris Rager (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zampano.png
Affiliation: Amestris Military
Rank: Operative
Speciality: Super Strength/Quills

One of Kimblee's original chimeras, a warthog. After defecting, he and Jerso join Marcoh and Scar to unravel the secrets of the country-wide transmutation circle.


  • The Alcoholic: According to Jerso, Zampano was a violent drunk and soured the relationship with his son as a result. It's implied that being turned into a chimera cured him of his alcoholism as a fortunate side-effect.
  • Bad "Bad Acting": Envy accuses him of this when he's leading them to the heroes. While he was good enough to trick Envy in the first place, Zampano does sound a little forced during this part.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Jerso.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Like Jerso, he's ashamed enough of his chimera form that he doesn't want to see his family until he's back to normal.
  • Pig Man: In his chimera form.
  • The Mole: After joining the heroes, he seems to be revealed as The Mole and calls Envy to alert him of their location. Actually, he never turned on the heroes, and the call was a trick to lead Envy into a trap.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses: When still on Kimblee's side his glasses give off this effect, especially in comparison to Heinkel, whose glasses are normally see-through. When he defects, he's much more emotive, and the glasses lose this effect, becoming Opaque Lenses.
  • Spike Shooter: He can eject spikes from his back when in chimera form.
  • Walking the Earth: Jerso and Zampano become Al's bodyguards and accompany him in his travels while searching for a way to return to being normal human beings.

    Jerso 

Jerso

Voiced by: Tomoyuki Shimura (JP), Andrew Love (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jerso.png
Affiliation: Amestris Military
Rank: Operative
Speciality: Agility/Adhesive Saliva

A chimera who takes the form of a toad. After defecting with Zampano, he joins Scar and Marcoh in an effort to stop Father.


  • Acrofatic: Befitting a man who's half-toad, Jerso can leap great distances despite his girth.
  • Frog Men: In his chimera form, he's a large, yellow, bulbous, anthropomorphic toad.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Zampano.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Much like Zampano, Jerso mentions that he's too ashamed to go see his family again due to his chimera form.
  • Inconsistent Dub: His name is translated to Jerso or Jelso.
  • Super Spit: Jerso can spit or drool large globs of sticky, adhesive saliva that hamper his opponents' movement.
  • Token Black Friend: The only reoccurring character that appears to be black.
  • Walking the Earth: Jerso and Zampano become Al's bodyguards and accompany him in his travels while searching for a way to return to being normal human beings.

    Darius 

Darius

Voiced by: Masuo Amada (JP), George Manley (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darius_6.png
Affiliation: Amestris Military/Greed-2
Rank: Operative
Speciality: Super Strength

Kimblee's former henchman who takes the form of a Gorilla. After he and Heinkel are left for dead by Kimblee, they're both saved by a dying Edward. They, in turn, save him and become his True Companions.


  • Ambiguously Gay: In the 4-Koma Theater animated shorts, he seems attracted to men. In the main series, he shows disappointment when Heinkel's lion form does not have paw pads, implying he fantasized about his furry form.
  • Badass Driver: Shows a cool head when at the wheel during a car chase in the snowy, slippery northern part of Amestris.
  • Heroic Build: He and Armstrong could get along quite well considering his physique.
  • Killer Gorilla: Darius the Gorilla; he's fittingly a formidable brute strength fighter.
  • Mighty Glacier: Not as fast as the other chimeras, relies on brute strength.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Ed continues to dub him "Mr. Gorilla" despite Darius telling him his name.
  • Running Gag: No one seems to be able to remember his name correctly. Apart from Ed's example, Hohenheim gets Darius's name wrong a couple of times, too.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: He gives Ed a bit of crap at some points, although Darius still loyal to him.

    Heinkel 

Heinkel

Voiced by: Shinpachi Tsuji (JP), Bradley Campbell (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heinkel.png
Affiliation: Amestris Military/Greed-2
Rank: Operative
Speciality: Marksmanship/Super Strength/Agility

Kimblee's chimera who betrayed him along with Darius after they were both left for dead. He's half lion.


  • Badass Normal: Goes toe to toe with Pride and does fairly well (granted Pride was unable to actually attack.)
  • Big Damn Heroes: An injured and battered Heinkel ends up being the one who saves Alphonse and Marcoh from Pride and Kimblee.
  • The Dog Bites Back: He literally bites Kimblee's neck, gashing his windpipe and fatally injuring him.
  • Guns Akimbo: When he's not in lion mode.
  • Hidden Depths: Between himself and Darius, they're able to correctly list all the chemical components of Dynamite.
  • Innate Night Vision: His chimera form at any rate, which is another reason why the gang sends him to attack Pride when they kill the lights.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Helps being a lion.
  • The Nose Knows: Uses his lion's sense of smell to track down Pride in the dark. Never has an audience been so overwhelmingly happy to see a lion track down and maul a seven-year-old boy.
  • Not Quite Dead: Heinkel is nearly mortally-wounded during the fight with Pride and Kimblee, but he's saved by Marcoh showing up just in time.
  • Oh, Crap!: When he realizes that the banging noise he's been hearing is Pride transmitting their location via Morse Code.
  • Panthera Awesome: He can turn into a lion hybrid.
  • Pragmatic Hero: He convinces Al to fight with a Philosopher's Stone by telling him that it would be wrong to keep those souls from fighting to save the day, and by doing so, he significantly evens the battle with Pride and Kimblee. He's also willing to fight Pride despite him looking like a child.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Like Darius, Heinkel helps Ed out but makes a few snide remarks to him.
  • Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Zigzagged. When Pride chastizes him for attacking him in his form of a small child, Heinkel shuts him up by pointing out that he normally wouldn't attack a child, but he knows Pride is a monster, so it's different.

Minor Characters

    Rosé Thomas 

Rosé Thomas

Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (JP), Colleen Clinkenbeard (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0977b800acf9feac9287ed67.png
Affiliation: None
Rank: None
Speciality: None

A young girl living in the Eastern Amestrian town of Liore. A former Letoist adherent, Rosé was a devout follower of the false prophet Cornello until Edward and Alphonse Elric intervened in the priest's deception of the townspeople and opened her eyes to the truth.


  • Advertised Extra: She gets a prominent close-up shot during the final Brotherhood opening sequence, Rain, but gets incredibly brief screen-time during the last arc. She doesn't even get a photo during the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue.
  • Arc Words: Phrases like, "Get back on your feet" and, "Stand on your own two legs" are associated with her and Liore.
  • Break the Cutie: Her faith in God and that her loved ones will come back to her is stripped away and she feels like she's lost everything. However, Ed tells her to use her two strong legs to keep walking, allowing her to get back on her feet.
  • The Bus Came Back: She appears again when Hohenheim and Al show up in Liore later in the story.
  • Faith–Heel Turn: Inverted. She becomes better ever since she takes Ed's words to heart (at least in the manga and Brotherhood anime).
  • Idiot Hair: Like most characters, she has one piece of hair that sticks up.
  • Nice Girl: Sweet and well-meaning; she tries to be polite to Ed and Al even when she thinks they're insulting her faith, and Rosé is later shown helping out the Liore reconstruction by cooking food for people.
  • Race Lift: Sort of. The manga didn’t give her an established race, but she is implied to look no different than other Amestrians. The 2003 anime chose to give her dark skin, however, so Brotherhood gives her lighter skin comparatively.
  • The Tragic Rose: She was an orphan and her boyfriend died, leaving her with no one. Father Cornello promised her a way to bring her boyfriend back, so she became a devout Letoist follower. Turns out Cornello was a fake. After Ed and Al reveal to her the truth, she breaks down.

    Father Cornello 

Father Cornello

Voiced by: Seizō Katō (JP), Andy Mullins (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/father_cornello.png
Affiliation: Homunculi
Rank: None
Speciality: Weapon Alchemy

The first villain the Elrics go up against, Cornello was the leader of the Church of Leto, a cult that controlled the town of Liore. In reality, he was a power-hungry alchemist whose "miracles" were actually performed with a Philosopher's Stone. What Cornello didn't know was that he was an Unwitting Pawn for Father, and as soon as he outlived his usefulness, Lust and Gluttony killed him.


  • Adaptational Badass: Because he was taken down laughably easy in the Manga, adaptations generally add something to make Cornello more of a foe to Edward than he has any right to be. In the 2003 version he's a skilled manipulator and turns all of Liore against the brothers. Brotherhood has him mutating into a giant to fight Ed. The live action film gives him the power to form monsters out the ground itself. He gets taken down by Edward very easily nonetheless.
  • Bald of Evil: He's completely bald, and he turns out to be evil.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: Wants power, but is shown to be rather pathetic as a fighter, and is just shown to be a pawn of the homunculus.
  • Body Horror: The fake philosopher stone recoils as he's trying to make a machine gun and turns his right arm into a mess of metal and flesh.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: An aging bald man who wants to take over the world? Generic? Lampshaded brilliantly by Ed.
  • Continuity Nod: In Chapter 50, after Ed, Ling, and Envy are swallowed by Gluttony, Cornello's skeleton (identifiable through his robe) appears among the debris.
  • Death by Irony: He learns that he's as expendable a pawn as the followers he recruited right before Lust kills him and, in the manga, refers to her father and set him up as the one who's really been pulling the strings in Liore.
  • Engineered Public Confession: How the Elrics take him down.
  • False Prophet: His "miracles" are all the result of the power of an incomplete Philospoher's stone he has, and his sole reason for founding his religion is to establish a powerbase of religious fanatics he can use as foot soldiers.
  • Good Shepherd: He built his cult based on this image: a wise and benevolent religious figure. He's actually a Sinister Minister because he plans to use his cult to build an army.
  • Hulking Out: Does so in this version as a last resort against Elric. It doesn't work as Elric transmutes a giant fist to take him down.
  • Light Is Not Good: A catholic-looking priest spreading a religion based on a sun god that looks like Father?
  • Path of Inspiration: The Leto cult is just a front for him to build an army of zealots.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes get red when he hulks out using the Stone — not that it makes him any more dangerous to Ed.
  • Sinister Minister: He's a false prophet working for the Homunculi.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He only was around for a few chapters/episodes, but he ended up setting up the reveal that someone had knowledge of Philosopher's Stones, and showed the brothers the beginning glimpses into the larger narrative at work.
  • Starter Villain: Normally, he would last a single chapter, but it was to introduce how badass Ed is.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: He relies entirely on his Philosopher's Stone to get things done. While he can pull off some spectacular alchemic feats, like transmuting automatic weapons, creating a ferocious Chimera, or even transforming himself into a super-strong giant, he's nowhere near the fighter Ed is and is easily outsmarted and outmaneuvered. As such, he's powerless when his stone crumbles to dust.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: He convinces everyone that he's a holy man when he's really a fraud out for power. Ed exposes him using an Engineered Public Confession, but even after this, once the Elrics leave the city, Envy uses his shapeshifting powers to impersonate Cornello, successfully regaining enough followers to plunge the city into civil war, a perfect pretext for Amestrian military intervention.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Provides the page picture, being killed by Lust and Gluttony after his defeat, which was engineered to further their plans.

    Shou Tucker 

Shou Tucker

Voiced by: Makoto Nagai (JP), Chuck Huber (EN)Other Languages

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shou_tucker.png
Affiliation: Amestris Military
Rank: Major
Speciality: Biological Alchemy
"The opportunity was right in front of us, and we took it. We had to, even though we knew it was against the rules."

The "Sewing-Life" Alchemist, who specializes in creating Chimeras and earned his State Alchemist certification for creating a Chimera capable of understanding human speech. He allows Edward and Alphonse to look into his research as he tries to prepare for the annual reviews. However, his Chimera experiments hide a dark secret...


  • Abusive Parents: He is so desperate to achieve fame and fortune through spectacular alchemical skill that he turns his own daughter and her dog into a chimera, something which the author herself considered so vile that he is the one and only dead character who is shown in the "In Memoriam" omake cartoons as going to Hell, whereas other characters who committed utterly atrocious crimes are still shown flying up to Heaven.
  • All for Nothing: As horrendous as making his wife into a chimera was, it was apparently a major scientific breakthrough at the time. However, turning Nina and Alexander into a second was utterly pointless even from a research perspective. By the time he did that, the military had already created fully-functional human/animal chimera Super Soldiers that can morph between their human and animal forms at will, while Tucker simply made another Tortured Monster nigh-identical to the last. It's likely the government knew all along what happened to Tucker's wife, but only court-martialed him the second time because he no longer had anything to offer.
  • Ambition Is Evil: His ultimate goal is to be recognised as an amazing State Alchemist representing chimera transmutation. He ends up being remembered only as a desperate and insane criminal who experimented on his own family.
  • Asshole Victim: One of the first State Alchemists Scar kills. The Elric brothers don't seem to care about his death. The author has no respect for Tucker either — he is the only character in the entire manga series to be shown burning in Hell during Arakawa's "In Memorium" omakes.
  • Bad Powers, Bad People: Tucker has the ability to merge and transform animals into bizarre monsters, and as the Elrics soon find out, he's every bit as warped as you'd expect someone who can do that would be.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He appears to be a humble and friendly person, as well as a loving father to his daughter Nina, even if he's somewhat concerned about how his next assessment might go (since he's at risk of losing his license). One day, the brothers find him with his newest talking chimera, a fusion of Nina and the family dog, Alexander. When Ed confronts him about what he's done to his daughter, as well as to his wife, who was used in the experiment that got Tucker his license, Tucker loses the affability entirely, bitterly complaining about how easily Ed saw through him, and smugly trying to claim that he and Ed are Not So Different.
  • Bio Manipulation: His Alchemy deconstructs and merges living lifeforms, albeit in an imperfect and crude manner.
  • Break Them by Talking: He tries to pull this on Ed, gloating that they're Not So Different since they both performed human transmutation and "messed around with someone's life". This sends Ed into an Unstoppable Rage, leading him to beat Tucker to a bloody pulp.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Falls victim to Scar’s signature Facepalm Of Doom.
  • Death by Irony: Shou Tucker's drive to become a State Alchemist and keep his license is what leads to Scar noticing him, tracking him down, and then killing him easily and unceremoniously. For an extra layer of irony, this happens while Tucker's license is in the process of getting revoked, meaning that he really was a State Alchemist until the day he died.
  • Didn't Think This Through: After transmuting a chimera that understands human speech by using his own daughter and her dog, Tucker thinks it would be a great idea to show off the chimera to the Elric brothers... except he failed to realize that a talking chimera can, well, talk and potentially expose his dark secret to the two guests who had developed a close friendship with her — which is exactly what happens, and it leads to his house-arrest and death at the hands of Scar.
    Nina/Alexander Chimera: Big brother Ed!
  • Dropped a Bridge on Him: Compared to almost every major villain, his death is ridiculously unceremonious. He gets his brains blown out by Scar, who just walks right up to him. Then again, he's an insignificant and weaselly excuse of a man with an inflated sense of self-worth, so it's actually quite fitting.
  • Entitled Bastard: This guy actually expected to be rewarded for turning his own daughter into a chimera for the sake of a research grant; when he's instead placed under house-arrest to eventually be decommissioned and court-martialed, he has the gall to gripe about how no one understands him and he got the short end of the stick.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: A truly terrifying one in the canon prequel gaiden Fullmetal Alchemist 0: Beginning of a Long Journey which came out to promote the 2017 live-action movie. Here it's shown that Tucker failed the exam to get a State Alchemist license the same year Ed earned his own. When he gets home and is greeted by his loving wife and daughter, Shou's wife encourages him to keep trying, saying that he can count on her and Nina for anything, leading to a disturbing look of realization from Tucker, as well as this line.
    Shou Tucker: Anything? Yes. I have you guys... Thank you. Next year I'll show you I can pass. Because you are here. I can certainly pass.
  • Even Evil Can Be Loved: Even after he fuses Nina to Alexander, the Nina-Alexander chimera worries for him after Ed beats him up, and breaks down in tears after Scar kills him.
  • Evil All Along: On the surface, he's a friendly, hospitable man and Nina tells the Elric brothers that he's very nice to her when they do interact, even if he is very much occupied with his bioalchemy research, which leaves Nina feeling lonely. Beneath the Mask, however, he's horrendously amoral, having already subjected his wife and Nina's mother to a Fate Worse than Death as a dysfunctional chimera, and he eventually subjects Nina to the same fate, prioritising his desire to keep his job over the well-being of his own family. When Ed furiously confronts him on what he's done to Nina, he quickly reveals how messed up he is by his inability to comprehend why his actions should be punished rather than rewarded like he thought they should be. Worst. Parent. Ever.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Adding an extra layer of vileness to his character is this trope—he not only questions why the Elrics "just don't understand" his motives for turning his family members into Body Horror abominations that can only feel pain all for a research grant, but he tries to turn things around on them by claiming that their attempt at human transmutation is identical to his scenario when it's nothing of the sort: The Elrics were two small children who desperately wanted to see their mother again and didn't realize just how much the cost was going to weigh on them, Tucker was a grown man who gleefully threw away his wife and daughter for his own benefit.
  • Evil Counterpart: Ironically, he could be considered this for Maes Hughesnote . Both are outwardly caring bespectacled fathers with little daughters who love them, but are guilty of terrible crimes in their line of work. However, while Maes was a loving man despite his part in the Ishvalan genocide, Tucker allowed his obsession with his job to completely overshadow any love he may have once had for his family. Maes was also shown in flashbacks to be visibly disturbed by his experiences in Ishval and the genocide he was ordered to carry out, but Tucker felt no remorse for turning his own wife and daughter into chimeras without their consent, because he was too selfish to comprehend that he'd done anything wrong. It's telling that Maes' murder is a pivotal moment in the story and has a significant impact on several characters, but when Tucker was murdered, nobody really cared (except for his suffering daughter, who still loved him as her father in spite of what he had done to her. Scar allowed her to mourn his passing before Mercy Killing her). Finally, Maes' wife and daughter ultimately survive the story's events, while Tucker's actions took his wife and daughter down with him.
  • Evil Is Petty:
    • He sacrificed his family for a research grant, first his wife and then his daughter and her dog.
    • In the Brotherhood anime, they add a scene after Ed's done beating the stuffing out of him and while Al's trying to comfort Nina/Alexander. Shou just crawls up to his nearly-broken State Alchemist pocket watch on the floor and happily declares that he'll get to keep his job. Ed immediately kicks the watch out of Tucker's hands, breaking it completely, and tells him point-blank that after what he did, there's no way in hell the military will continue employing him. Finally, Shou crawls whimpering to his pocket watch and clutches it in his arms like a parent would hold their baby, further cementing how Shou's status as a State Alchemist was more important to him than the well-being of his family.
  • Fatal Flaw: He has two that overlap with each other: first, his Lack of Empathy, and second, his inability to understand other people's perspectives. He cares more about scientific progression than about life, to the point that he willingly turns his own family into abominations in the name of said progress, and when he inevitably gets found out it comes as a surprise to him that anybody would think what he did is wrong, having assumed that any other alchemist in his circumstances would have done the same thing. Both of these flaws lead to his undoing.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He keeps a jovial appearance in front of everyone until Edward figured out what Tucker did to Nina. Once his secret's exposed, the mask immediately falls off, revealing The Sociopath that lies beneath.
  • Foil: While he attempts to convince Ed that, since they have both committed taboo forms of alchemy, Ed is exactly the same as him (said attempt fails miserably), their motivations and reactions are the complete opposite of each other, making Tucker a foil to Ed rather than an equal. Ed (and Al) tried to revive his dead mother because he loved her and was lonely, payed the price for trying to play God with a human life, and deeply regrets what he did. In contrast, Tucker mutated his own family into chimeras because he couldn't bear to lose a steady income, his family suffered in constant pain because of his own incompetence with bioalchemy while he himself suffered no such pain, and is unable to comprehend that he did anything wrong, and as a result he feels no remorse or any sense of accountability for what he did.
  • For Science!: He puts his State Alchemist certification and the need to continue his research into biological alchemy above everything. Even his wife and child.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Shown by his complete lack of remorse about turning his wife, and later his daughter and dog, into twisted abominations.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: He claims he was in utter poverty before he became a State Alchemist, and is desperate to keep his title. It doesn't come anywhere near sufficient justification for what he did, though, as Ed aptly demonstrates.
  • Greed: It's mentioned that State Alchemists are given high salaries and privileges, which explains why The Sociopath Shou Tucker became so focused on keeping his license that he believed using his own family as scientific experiments was a preferable option than, you know, looking for a new job (i.e. what anybody who cared about their family's well-being would do).
  • Guinea Pig Family: Uses his own wife and daughter as experiments in order to keep his job. Who do you think Edward is talking to at the top of the trope's page?
  • Hate Sink: Shou Tucker is ultimately a disgusting and wholly contemptible individual who feels no remorse for his actions and refuses to see his actions as immoral. Thus, he ends up being an extremely hateable character towards the audience and for those who get to know him well enough. It says enough that Hiromu Arakawa showcases Shou to be the only character (alongside Father) to end up in Hell for his actions.
  • Hypocrite:
  • I Did What I Had to Do: He attempts to rationalize fusing Nina with her dog into a Tortured Monster, a Fate Worse than Death, with his financial difficulties and that he was running out of time for his assessment. Of course, no one, in-universe or out, agrees with him or believes him. Anybody with the tiniest speck of decency would endure the loss of a job and immediately try to find a new one to help keep the family afloat.
    • Deconstructed as the worst part is that this isn’t even true on his own terms, since he could have just easily abducted a drunken hobo, but his family matters so little to him that he chooses them due to it being more convenient.
  • Irony: He commits horrific acts in the name of keeping his job as a State Alchemist, and is eventually revenge-murdered by Scar. Riza Hawkeye later tells the Elrics that, if Scar hadn't murdered him, he was still scheduled to be stripped of his certification and to face criminal charges for what he did to his family.
  • It's All About Me: The major reason he's such an awful, scummy human being is that he doesn't have any idea why someone else would act or see things differently than him. He was so obsessed with keeping his job that he saw fit to sacrifice his own family and pet for it, believes any other alchemist in his financial situation would have done the same thing, and upon being justifiably punished for his actions, whines to his daughter about how "nobody understands him".
  • Knight of Cerebus: Although it started with a horrifically failed attempt at resurrecting their mother, Fullmetal Alchemist begins kind of hopeful with Edward and Alphonse Elric traveling to find the Philosopher's Stone to set things right. Then they encounter Tucker, whose experiments give a sign of the darker events that will follow. Indeed, it was around episode four when audiences would realize this show was not for the faint of heart.
  • Knight Templar: The most disturbing aspect about Shou Tucker—along with looking like the average man walking down the street—is that he is so convinced that there's nothing wrong with turning humans into chimeras without their consent and lying about their fates, that the idea that it is a despicable violation of their lives doesn't even occur to him until Edward angrily asks him where his daughter and her dog are. When he realizes that he has angered the Elric brothers, Tucker becomes this instead, remaining adamant that his actions are acceptable and he should be rewarded for his scientific experiments in spite of Edward's Unstoppable Rage.
  • Lack of Empathy: He has no regrets about turning his wife and daughter into chimeras for the sake of a research grant. He understands on an intellectual level that others would be enraged by the truth behind his chimeric experiments if they find out, but has no emotional understanding why anyone would care about applying those experiments to humans.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: Tucker considered the Nina/Alexander chimera a breakthrough, apparently ignorant other State Alchemists had already made much more functional chimeras. Then again, Tucker isn't a very objective judge of his own importance.
  • Mad Doctor: Using your own family as guinea pigs isn't the best medical practice...
  • Mad Scientist: He's a State Alchemist researching biological alchemy with a specialty in chimeras, but doesn't appear to be this at first. After Ed figures out the truth behind his experiments, however, Tucker removes his calm façade and quickly reveals that, yes, he is very much a Mad Scientist.
  • Mask of Sanity: He doesn't fit the traditional profile of a Mad Scientist since he's rather calm and polite at first. But once Ed puts two and two together, Tucker drops his affable façade and reveals just how insane he is. He experimented on both his loving wife and daughter, turning them into abominations, partly to keep his State Alchemist certification and to see if he could.
  • Never My Fault: He never takes responsibility for the physical and mental damage he causes his own wife and daughter by forcibly turning them into broken chimeras for a research grant, and decides that the reason others are enraged by his actions and place him under house-arrest to have his license revoked and face criminal charges, is because they "can't understand him". His line after being found out i.e. "Damn brat, figuring it out so quickly", indicates that he is well aware when others are enraged by his actions, but is so self-centred that he's unable to comprehend how or why, and thinks he himself has done nothing wrong and is being unfairly persecuted.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: It is later revealed that what Tucker did to his wife, horrendous as it is, inspired the Military to conduct their own research in the field of chimeric alchemy and discover how to transmute human/animal chimeras in much healthier condition for their own purposesnote . It's still grossly unethical as these chimeras still struggle with the knowledge that they're no longer human, but four of them end up joining the heroes' side and contributing to Father's defeat. Um... thanks, Tucker?
  • No Social Skills: A rare villainous example. Shou Tucker is an asocial man, preferring to keep to himself than spend time with others. It does not escape his daughter Nina's notice that he is more occupied with his bioalchemy research than with his family, which leaves her feeling lonely. Shou's self-isolation likely took its toll on his psyche, which would explain (at least partially) how he was able to willingly throw away his own wife and daughter by turning them into incomplete human chimeras in constant pain for his own financial benefit, and yet not understand that he'd done anything wrong.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Tucker's attempt to persuade Ed that the latter's attempt to revive his dead mother is the exact same scenario to the former turning his wife and daughter into chimeras fails miserably, but after the Elric brothers report Tucker's crimes and he is placed under house-arrest to be stripped of his certification, Mustang says Tucker's violation of his wife and daughter is similar to the atrocities State Alchemists are ordered to commit in the name of the Military.
    Riza Hawkeye: If ever there was an example of the Devil's work in this world, this case would definitely be it.
    Roy Mustang: The Devil, huh? A State Alchemist must be willing to act — able to take another's life when ordered to without question. In some ways, Mr. Tucker's actions and our own may not be all that far apart — when it comes to interfering with other people's lives.
  • Not So Similar: Though he tries to pull the compare himself to Ed (and gets his ass kicked for it), it falls very flat. While both sides did perform human transmutation and "messed around with someone's life", the Elrics performed human transmutation in a misguided attempt to bring their beloved mother Back from the Dead, whereas Tucker did it purely because he couldn't bear to lose a steady paycheck. Furthermore, while Tucker willingly sacrificed his wife and daughter, Ed was the one who paid the price for his own mistake, and willingly sacrificed his arm to keep Al's soul bound to the armor and allow some hope for his body to be restored.
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: He and his family were in danger of living in poverty. His "solution"? Turn his wife, and later his dog and daughter, into chimeras for the sake of a research grant. He may justify his experiments in the name of science, but by the time he does it to his dog and daughter, it's safe to say that he has no good intentions.
  • Obliviously Evil: He is so devoid of empathy that he seriously did not expect to anger the Elric brothers when he proudly showed them the chimera he created by combining his own daughter and her pet dog and revealed that he did the same with his wife and another dog two years prior, turning all four into inhuman abominations in constant pain, convinced that any other alchemist would have done the same in the name of science. In fact, not only did he think that what he did was acceptable, he expected to be rewarded for it. A rare case where this trope does not make a villain more sympathetic or tragic — if anything, it makes him worse, because he refuses to own up to what he did and even goes so far as to whine about how "no one understands him" when he gets punished instead of rewarded for what he did.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: He's a grown man in his early fifties, but displays a complete lack of awareness of other people's feelings, to the point that the idea that anyone would be angered at his turning his own family into experimental abominations and ruining their lives did not occur to him until it was too late. Instead of introspecting his actions, he taunts Edward over the latter's failed attempt at human transmutation and how it makes them identical, which falls flat given that Edward actually learned from his mistake and wants to atone for it. It basically comes off as Tucker acting like a child going "Nyah nyah-nyah nyah nyah!" When placed under house-arrest to be decommissioned and subpoenaed, all he does is whine about how no-one understands him, having expected to be rewarded instead of punished.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: He defends his creations by claiming that they represent a huge scientific breakthrough—and they are, or at least, his first one was. However, Tucker was arguing them to be a breakthrough because he was claiming he had created a fully-sapient chimera using exclusively nonsapient creatures, which would indeed be a breakthrough, but was absolutely not what had happened. Fundamentally, all he did in the field of creating sapient beings was take an existing sapient being and then turn them into a mentally-broken monster. But human transmutation was still fairly uncharted territory, and so Tucker's initial experiment ended up being helpful data for actual successful human chimeras by the government. The fact that Tucker didn't know about this is conveyed in how he presented his second experiment as an even bigger breakthrough than the first—moral abhorrence aside, it was at best a marginal improvement, and in a world where human chimeras that don't want to kill themselves exist, such a thing had no scientific value whatsoever.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses: The sheen of his glasses is the first thing seen when he's standing in his dimly lit laboratory.
  • Shadow Archetype: He essentially embodies what Ed would have ended up as if the latter hadn't learned from his experience attempting human transmutation. Unlike Ed, who bears a heavy responsibility for interfering with life and death and tries to recover his brother's body as a form of atonement, Shou feels nothing from the loss of his wife at his own hand and even resorts to sacrificing his young daughter to his experiments in the name of scientific advancement.
  • Sinister Schnoz: He has a rather large nose in comparison to other characters in the series... and, as it turns out, an even smaller heart.
  • Skewed Priorities: For him, keeping his job as a State Alchemist is more important than his wife and daughter. Unlike most examples of this trope, this one is not Played for Laughs. At all.
  • Slasher Smile: While taunting Ed with a "Not So Different" Remark.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He appears to be a humble and friendly man at first, but beneath the surface he has an inflated sense of self-importance with ambitions beyond his bioalchemical capabilities. Greed's debut episode reveals that the Military had already managed to create human/animal chimeras in perfectly healthy condition by the time Tucker turned his own daughter Nina and her Big Friendly Dog into a primitive, miserable chimera in constant agony. After his debut episode and death, nobody misses him. On the other hand, what he does to Nina has a big impact on Edward's Character Development.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Gets killed off in one episode. However, besides Nina's death resonating through the whole anime/manga? Turns out, chimeras become incredibly important later on.
  • Smug Snake: Behind his kindly façade is a repugnantly arrogant man who thinks turning his own family into abominations is acceptable, taking pleasure in calling out Ed for feeling angry at him. Given his excessive sense of self-importance, his almost-laughably unceremonious death at Scar’s hand is quite fitting.
  • The Sociopath: He has zero empathy, a need for stimulation, is a pathological liar and commits heinous crimes for the pettiest of reasons.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: He never raises his voice once, and it manages to make him seem even more messed up.
  • Squishy Wizard: One of the few alchemists who isn't shown to be a competent fighter, mainly because his specialty doesn't lend itself to combat. All the better, as this makes it very easy for Scar to dispose of him.
  • Stepford Smiler: Type C: he appears friendly and affable, but his smile hides the fact that he's really, really unstable.
  • They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: The most disturbing aspect of Tucker—along with being so self-righteous as to not once consider the idea that he's done anything wrong until he perceives he has angered the Elric brothers—is how outwardly normal he is. In fact, if it weren't for the financial issues that led him to use his family as test subjects for chimera research, he likely would have been a normal family man.
  • Too Dumb to Live: His decision to use his own family as experiment subjects for his chimeric research is almost as idiotic as it is vile. He was able to cover his tracks regarding his wife because she was an independent adult, but when he uses his five-year-old daughter and her dog, and then shows off their mutated form to two guests who had developed a close friendship with her while she was human, he is inevitably exposed, placed under house-arrest to await trial, and is killed by Scar when he hears of his crimes.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: In contrast to the shabby, plain-looking Shou Tucker, a prequel gaiden reveals his wife to be a beautiful woman who's supportive of his dreams despite his repeated failures. It can't even be said he has a good personality to explain it.
  • The Unfettered: He is obsessed with his research to a dangerously unhealthy level, and has no qualms with sacrificing his own loving family for the funding needed to continue it. "Desperate" is the kindest word that can be used to describe him.
  • Unwitting Pawn: To the Amestrian military, who used his experiment on his wife two years ago as a stepping stone to conduct their own research and create powerful and much healthier human/animal chimeras. It's likely the real reason Tucker was court-martialed when he experimented on his daughter was because he had made no progress, and so the government decided that he was no longer useful.
  • Villain Has a Point: His actions are awful no matter how you spin it, but Tucker technically isn't wrong when he says that human experimentation is a step to progressnote , considering how it's later revealed a Philosopher's Stone is powered by Human Sacrifices, Amestris itself was founded on the loss of countless lives, its Military uses Alchemy to wage war and perform many more bizarre biological experiments in secret laboratories, Amestris is ruled by twisted Homunculi who view humanity as a natural resource, and automail mechanics require an understanding of human anatomy and neurology. It's even implied he was kept onboard for so long because of the lengths he took to create talking chimeras. Of course, given that Tucker didn't know other Alchemists had already found a way to create human/animal chimeras in much healthier condition by the time of his present assessment, it's even less likely that he knew about any of Amestris' history or the Military's secret operations, and was merely trying to come up with an excuse for his vile actions.
  • Villainous Legacy: It's later revealed that in the years between his first human chimera and fateful encounter with the Elrics, the Military improved on his experiments to create stronger, more powerful chimera troops. Ironically, this also had positive effects, as the first group became True Companions to Greed, inspiring his Heel–Face Turn, while the second defected from the Military to help take down the Homunculi.
  • Walking Spoiler: Most of his relevance to the plot hinges on the revelation that he is horrendously amoral, after which he quickly dies.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Gets killed off in one episode.
  • Would Hurt a Child: The mere thought of somebody turning their own five-year-old daughter into a chimera is sickening.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: With the later revelation that the military had already succeeded in transmuting healthy human/animal chimeras by the time of Tucker's current assessment, it is heavily implied that this is the real reason why he was scheduled to be stripped of his state certification and court-martialed.

"Can we play now?"

Shou Tucker's daughter and dog. The two get along great with Edward and Alphonse during their visit since Shou Tucker hardly ever plays with them.


Tropes that apply to both

  • Guinea Pig Family: Her father turned her and her dog Alexander into a chimera, just like he did to her mother.
  • Kill the Cutie: Both of them are in constant pain physically and mentally when they're fused as a Chimeranote , and it's considered a Mercy Kill when Scar kills them both.
  • Mercy Kill: Scar kills them so that they won't have to remain as a chimera.
  • Merging Mistake: Being fused together to become a creepy-looking humanoid dog puts them both in constant pain, and since they can't be separated, Scar opts to Mercy Kill them. To add salt to the wound, it's later shown humans and animals can and already had been turned into healthy and fully-functional chimeras. Tucker had just made essentially zero progress while other state alchemists had left him in the dust.
  • Present Absence: Their transformation into a Chimera and deaths at the hands of Scar continues to haunt the Elrics for the rest of the series, and never letting someone suffer as they did becomes a secondary goal in their quest.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: Used as an example for the dark side of alchemy and someone the Elrics couldn't save, though unlike some examples Nina is never forgotten — Edward and Alphonse continue to mention her even in the very last chapter.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Nina is only around for a single episode/chapter. Despite this, she has one of the single largest impacts on the entire show period. Her being turned into a Chimera, and her death at the hands of Scar, become a major part of Ed and Al's characters that shape how they develop and view alchemy. Ed outright mentions her in the finale, cementing that despite her small role, she was that important to the two that they never forgave themselves for not being able to save her.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Due to Scar being Adapted Out of the live-action movie, nobody kills them, though their fate is never explained.
  • Tragic Monster: Nina and her dog Alexander are fused together via alchemy by her insane father, resulting in a monstrosity that Scar opts to Mercy Kill to put out of its misery. Tucker didn't even have the decency to prioritise the chimera's health over its ability to speak!
  • Tragic One-Shot Character: We only know Nina and Alexander for one episode before their tragic transformation into a monster and subsequent deaths.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Get killed off in one episode.
  • Winged Soul Flies Off at Death: An omake at the end of volume two shows them flying off to Heaven, separated as girl and dog in death.

Tropes that apply to Nina

  • Be Careful What You Wish For: "Don't worry, Daddy, it's okay. If those people do tell you no, me and Alexander will growl at them until they say yes!" These exact words are what give her father his evil idea.
  • Cheerful Child: Incredibly adorable. Her innocence makes it downright heartbreaking to see what happened to her.
  • The Cutie: A sweet, adorable, innocent little girl. Makes it all the more heartbreaking to see what happens to her.
  • Forgotten Fallen Friend: Defied. The Elric brothers do not forget Nina, and she is mentioned in-universe up to the final chapter.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Nina wears her hair in low braided pigtails to highlight her cuteness and innocence.
  • Missing Mom: Nina's mother left the family two years ago. It later turns out that the chimera that starved to death was her mother.
  • Nice Girl: Nina was an innocent girl with a kind nature.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: She was a one-episode character, but the Elric brothers' failure to save her acts as a constant reminder that they aren't infallible. Edward even references her in the penultimate episode, right before forfeiting his alchemy in exchange for Alphonse's human body. Alphonse later says in the final chapter that the incident still haunts the brothers, and they begin conducting alchemical research to find a way to return chimeras back to their original forms, so that what happened to Nina never happens again.
  • Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Oh, poor Nina.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: She tries to comfort her distressed father when he expresses fear that he'll fail his upcoming assessment, but this inspires him to turn her and Alexander into a chimera.
  • Walking Spoiler: Most of her relevance to the plot is tied to the revelation that her father is horrendously amoral, after which Scar soon gives her a Mercy Kill to spare her the pain of being turned into a chimera.
  • Wham Line: Delivers one of these... in chimaera form. "Ed-ward... Oni-san?" In the dub, "Big brother Ed".
  • What a Senseless Waste of Human Life: Her father, completely ignorant that the Military had already managed to create fully-functional human/animal Chimeras that can morph between their human and animal forms at will by the time of his assessment, believed that turning her and Alexander into a dysfunctional Chimera was a groundbreaking achievement. In reality, Shou's atrocity was completely pointless, even from a research perspective.

Shou Tucker's wife, and Nina's mother. She eventually left her husband and daughter because she couldn't cope with their impoverished lifestyle, and went back to her parents' house. Or, so Shou says...


  • Driven to Suicide: She spent the final moments of her life in horrific pain from being turned into an imperfect chimera, and refused to eat until she died.
  • Nice Girl: A prequel gaiden written by Hirakawa for the 2017 live-action film reveals that she supported her husband in spite of his repeated failures to become a State Alchemist, though tensions eventually flared between the two as Shou became increasingly desperate. She was eventually "rewarded" with being turned into her insane husband's first talking chimera, which drove her to suicide.
  • Posthumous Character: Mr. Tucker lies to Nina and the Elric brothers that she had run out on them, but it turns out she had actually been used to transmute his first talking chimera, and is deceased by the time the Elrics met the surviving Tuckers.
  • Walking Spoiler: Her fate is tied to the revelation that her husband is horrendously amoral. As a result, it's difficult to talk about her without also mentioning Shou's true colours.

Affiliation: Homunculi
Rank: Prisoner #48
Speciality: Swordsmanship

A pair of brothers that were Serial Killers in life, they are in charge of guarding the Fifth Laboratory. Like Barry and Alphonse, they are also souls bound to a suit of armor.


  • Affably Evil: For a pair of serial killers, they're remarkably well-mannered.
  • Animated Armor: One brother's soul inhabits a suit of armor from the torso down while the other is sealed in the helmet.
  • Blood Knight: Seems to enjoy fighting Ed quite a bit.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: It's implied that the brothers had this sort of upbringing that led them into becoming serial killers in the first place.
  • Death by Irony: The Slicer brothers' blood seals are broken when Lust and Envy stab them.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The brothers obviously care about each other a great deal, with the younger brother taking a moment to ask if the older one is alright and feeling anguished that he was killed by Lust.
  • Evil Counterpart: To the Elric brothers, and the parallel is very significant. The older brother's soul is attached to the head, referencing to how Edward is more intelligent than Alphonse (barring his usual temperament), while the younger brother's soul is attached to the body (where the blood seal is in the same location as Alphonse), referencing to Alphonse being the better fighter than Edward. Furthermore, they also have a soft spot for taking in small strays in an omake.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: The older brother.
  • Fair-Play Villain: Despite bragging about their status as mass murderers, they show Ed their weak spots to keep things sporting and plan on willingly answering Ed’s questions about the conspiracy honestly once Ed defeats them and treats them like real people.
  • Feel No Pain: Being souls that are bound to a suit of armor, none of them can feel pain.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: How Ed defeats the younger brother, but since he’s a suit of armor, he’s fine.
  • Master Swordsman: Their weapon of choice is a katana, and while the true extent of the older brother's swordsmanship is unknown, the younger brother was able to keep Edward entirely on the defense during their battle.
  • No Name Given: Unlike Barry, we never do learn their real names; only their shared serial killer moniker.
  • Serial Killer: While in living bodies.
  • Sibling Team: The brothers worked together to carry about their serial murders and afterward share a single suit of armor.
  • Villainous Breakdown: The younger brother completely loses it when his older brother is killed.
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The older brother remarks on the irony of being treated like people only after they've been put into a suit of armor. In fact, Ed treating them with human dignity is what motivates the older brother to spill the lab’s secrets.
  • Worthy Opponent: The older brother likes that Ed is actually a challenging opponent.
  • You Are Number 6: The brothers are referred to only by a number after being assigned to guard the laboratory.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Partially the reason they’re offed by Lust and Envy, partially to prevent them from spilling secrets to Ed.

  • Cute Bruiser: She may look sweet, but she's able to lift entire pianos over her head and throw them.
  • The Cutie: Adorable and innocent, especially when compared to her Iron Lady older sister Olivier and her masculine older sisters Amue and Strongine.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A contrast with her sister, who has a heart closer to cold iron.
  • Has a Type: Turns down Havoc because she prefers men more like her brother (i.e., heavily muscled Large Ham types).
  • Idiot Hair: Of course, considering it was PASSED DOWN IN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: A second visual contrast with her sister is her innocence and gentleness.
  • Kawaiiko: She's presented as the sweet, adorable Armstrong sister, but considering who her other sisters are, this was inevitable.
  • Killer Rabbit: Looks sweet and harmless, but thinks it's cute to see her brother and sister beating the crap out of each other and destroying the family home; oh, and she throws pianos.
  • Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: With Olivier. Katherine is a sweet Proper Lady while Olivier is a no-nosense Lady of War and Amue and Strongine are terrifyingly muscular Brawn Hilda.
  • Like Parent, Like Spouse: She tells Havoc that she wants a man more like her brother Alex.
  • Proper Lady: Looks the part and acts it as well: beautiful, sweet, obedient, plays piano, etc.
  • Shrinking Violet: Fairly shy around Havoc in the bonus chapter, and according to Alex, doesn't have many men interested in her because of that.
  • Incosistent Spelling: Relatively minor compared to the other characters. It's either "Katherine" or "Catherine."
  • Tareme Eyes: Unlike her sister, who has Tsurime Eyes, Catherine has droopy eyes.
  • The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter: Her brother gets the idea that Lt. Havoc would just love to date her. After Havoc spends a good deal of time freaking over what she'll look like after seeing her super-stout father and giantess mother (complete with the memorable "Pomato" theory), it turns out that she is an adorable girl that looks nothing like her brother, father, or mother… who then promptly rejects him.
  • Waif-Fu: Even though she's small and petite, she can throw giant pianos at people.

Scar's older brother who was killed during the Ishval Civil War.


  • Badass Bookworm: He's a self-taught alchemist that merges alchemy and alkestry.
  • Chekhov's Gun: His research notes are vital in overriding Father's anti-alchemy buffer, and in teaching Scar how to use reconstruction alchemy. The latter is also foreshadowed by the left arm of reconstruction he sports in the flashbacks.
  • Cowardly Lion: Downplayed. He can't keep his legs from shaking when the Amestrian army draws near, and considers himself a poor excuse for an older brother, but is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice when Scar's life is threatened.
  • Good Is Not Dumb: His idealism does not make him stupid. Not only is he a self-taught alchemist from a society that looks down upon it, but he's the first non-Xerxian character to notice the nation-wide Human Transmutation Circle, and figures out how to counter Father's anti-alchemy powers before the series even began.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: His own arm and life for his brother.
  • Life-or-Limb Decision: More like sacrificing his life in order to give his right arm to Scar so that he doesn't bleed out after being injured by Kimblee.
  • Morality Chain Beyond the Grave: Invoked. Scar's master tries to convince Scar to stop his Roaring Rampage of Revenge, telling him that it would just make his brother sad.
  • Non-Action Guy: He was too busy studying alchemy and alkahestry to fight during the war.
  • No Name Given: For some reason, his name was never stated.
  • Posthumous Character: He may be dead, but he plays an incredibly important role in both Scar's Character Development and the endgame.
  • The Short Guy with Glasses: Older than Scar, and not so much shorter as much as merely less brawny, but this trope fits well enough.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: Studied both alchemy and alkahestry and was fittingly bespectacled.
  • Spanner in the Works: The first to notice the transmutation circle around the country and begins piecing together what's going on (with the raid on his country confirming his suspicions) and quickly devising countermeasures for it. He may have died before he could execute the plan but he played a major role in defeating Father.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: Believes people are capable of working together to bring out the good in each other, and this is a large part of his motivation for studying alchemy. In the end, this belief comes to pass, as it's people from all walks of life fighting in many different ways that brings down Father.

  • Death by Origin Story: They were killed by Scar during the event that turned him into "Scar".
  • Deceased Parents Are the Best: Winry remembers them fondly.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Reflecting their kind nature-volunteering to help another ethnic in a war zone.
  • Honorary Uncle: Ed and Al refer to them as "Aunt and Uncle Rockbell."
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Just like their daughter. Chillingly subverted in Scar's flashback, where everything is desaturated except their Icy Blue Eyes — the same as the Amestrian soldiers.
  • Make It Look Like an Accident: What Kimblee was supposed to do to them, so that the military would not be forced to waste resources ensuring their protection.
  • The Medic: Both of them were doctors.
  • Nice Guy: What little was known of them was they had huge hearts and were willing to take in any wounded soul no matter who they were.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: They went to Ishval to save everyone they could, Amestrian or Ishvalan. Yet not only does the Amestris military sign their death warrant as "collaborators with the enemy", one of the Ishvalans they saved kills them in a Freak Out and goes on to become Scar.
  • Plucky Girl: Sarah could've left and gone home easily but refused to do so, saying that Winry and Pinako wouldn't forgive her if she did.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Winry and her mom look a lot alike.
  • Together in Death: We see their lifeless bodies in an embrace.
  • Villain Respect: Ironically, while most soldiers felt disgusted for them healing Ishvalans, Kimblee felt genuine respect for them sticking to their ideals. When other soldiers claimed that they got what they deserved, he pointed out that just as a soldier's duty is to kill his enemies, a doctor's duty is to save lives. He even said it was a shame that he didn't see their smiles while they were alive.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: They attended people of any origins while in the war, regardless of politics or consequences. This made them enemies within their own country.

Affiliation: Rush Valley
Rank: None
Speciality: Automail mechanic

Owner of Atelier Garfiel, an automail shop in Rush Valley, who takes on Winry as an apprentice.


  • Ambiguously Gay: He crossdresses and is rather campy, but Garfiel's orientation is never directly stated. The Four-Panel Comic Theater shorts do strongly imply that he likes men, though.
  • Benevolent Boss: He's remarkably flexible with Winry's working hours since she's helping her friends save the country.
  • Camp: His mannerisms and crossdressing are rather flamboyant and effeminate.
  • Informed Attribute: Domic LeCourte considers him an incredibly skilled and accomplished mechanic, enough so that he vouches for Winry to become his apprentice. However, not once do we see his skills in action - in point of fact, Atelier Garfiel's customers all seem to much prefer Winry's work. He is, however, incredibly supportive of her.
  • Macho Camp: He's a burly mechanic despite his campy affectations.
  • Only One Name: If he has a last name, it's never mentioned.
  • Punny Name: His name is a portmanteau of the French words for boy (garcon) and girl (fille), which reflects his masculine build and feminine dress.
  • Wholesome Crossdresser: Which can border on Fan Disservice.

Speciality: Automail mechanic

A gruff automail engineer who took in Paninya and made her automail; he turns down Winry as an apprentice, but recommends her to Garfiel. He somehow knows Pinako Rockbell.


  • Ambiguously Brown: Especially odd considering his pale-skinned son.
  • Cool Old Guy: He looks like a Grumpy Old Man at first, but he's also this, having a Hidden Heart of Gold and being a skilled mechanic.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's pretty rude and abrasive, but, deep down, he's got a good heart. He took Paninya in and got her automail legs, and he helped Winry get a job in Rush Valley.
  • Noodle Incident: Whatever it was that happened between him and Pinako long ago has him terrified of her. He practically lapses into PTSD when Winry asks about it, and he refuses to elaborate.
  • Perpetual Frowner: He's not known for friendliness.

Speciality: Pickpocket

A legless orphan taken in by Dominic. She steals Edward's alchemist watch, but gives it back and becomes an ally.


  • Armed Legs: Her automail has a blade and a cannon.
  • Fragile Speedster: She can keep up with both Elric brothers despite her handicap.
  • Handicapped Badass: She has both legs replaced with automail, but is able to outrun and outmaneuver both Ed and Al, to the point where Ed asks if she's an acrobat. She also packs a knife and mini cannon in her prosthetics and she knows how to use them.
  • Leg Cannon: The mini cannon that's mounted in one of her knees. Yes, an actual cannon that can fire baseball-sized cannonballs.
  • Loveable Rogue: She's introduced stealing from Ed, but she's a friendly girl who quickly gets attached to the brothers and Winry. Not to mention, Paninya only stole things so she could get enough money to repay Dominic.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: She gets a speech from Winry about how she should live and work honestly if she wants to repay Dominic's kindness for giving her automail legs.

Gold Steiner is the older brother of the famed alchemist Silver Steiner, who had died by 1897 when Izumi Harnet sought him out. While Silver was well known for his master alchemy skill, Gold was famous for his hand-to-hand combat abilities.


  • Eyes Always Shut: He has intimidating black eyes when opened
  • Retired Badass: That's considering how he was willing to put a young Izumi through Training from Hell. And even though he isn't as famous as his brother, he is considered well known for his martial arts prowess.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/julia_crichton.png
Affiliation: Milos
Rank: Black Bat, schoolteacher
Specialty: Healing alchemy

The tritagonist of the animated Non-Serial Movie Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos. She is an alchemist from the Death Valley underground below Table City, as well as affiliated with an organization there called the Black Bats.


  • An Arm and a Leg: Loses a leg in the final battle after using the Sanguine Star and crossing the Gate to save her brother.
  • Canon Foreigner: Both in the trope sense and in the meta sense with her country itself being this trope.
  • Combat Medic: Her alchemy revolves around healing, and she is no slouch in a fight.
  • Determinator: Nothing will stop her from trying to save the valley.
  • Distaff Counterpart: One could consider her to be a female Elric.
  • Enemy Mine: Ends up forming one with the Elric brothers. She may not feel like they're enemies for very long, but technically they are Amestrian soldiers, and Ed in particular hates the Black Bats' plan to acquire the Sanguine Star because it sounds exactly like the Philosopher's Stone. Ed turns out to be right, and still doesn't approve of her taking the Star by the end of the movie, but otherwise he does respect her.
  • Fiery Redhead: Is very passionate and will do what it takes to protect her people.
  • "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: The duel of Sanguine Star-infused Crichton siblings seen at the falling action point of the movie is this for her towards Ashleigh.
  • Le Parkour: When breaking out of prison in Table City.
  • Ship Tease: With Alphonse.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Rather essential to the plot of the movie.
  • Supporting Protagonist: Ed and Al are still the main characters, but the story of Milos centers around her.
  • Unstoppable Rage: After meeting her parents' killer. Eating the Sanguine Star makes for a dangerous combination.
  • You Killed My Father: Atlas killed her parents and tried to Kill and Replace her brother. When she discovered the truth, she was outraged.

    Melvin Voyager 

Melvin Voyager

Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (JP), Matthew Mercer (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melvin_voyager.png
Affiliation: Unknown
Rank: None
Speciality: Alchemy

An inmate of Central Prison in The Sacred Star of Milos, who broke himself out of jail with only two months left before his parole, with a torn newspaper picture of Julia Crichton serving as a hint to his motivations.


  • Ambition Is Evil: He's actually trying to create and command a city-state in Milos' place that would be powerful enough to overmatch Creta and Amestris. Yeah, good luck with that.
  • Asshole Victim: Suffers an incredibly painful and gruesome execution from Ashleigh, and it really couldn't have happened to a better guy.
  • Ax-Crazy: He's completely out of his mind, killing Miranda with his sword is the point where he shows his craziness. From that point his facial expressions and body language becomes incredibly unhinged.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: His plan to use the Sanguine Star to create his own independent nation is what drives the film although Ashleigh has discovered his schemes and uses Atlas for his own ends before killing the man.
  • Canon Foreigner: Only appears in the film.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Literally betrays every single character he's ever associated with as part of his plan.
  • Composite Character: Much like Dante from the 2003 series, he's an egocentric alchemist who steals another character's face and identity, while manipulating the heroes into creating a Philosopher's Stone for him. Meanwhile, his history in the Military and Central Prison, Faux Affably Evil personality, preference to dress in white, and skill at killing people with Alchemy seems to have been lifted from Kimblee. Also, his ice powers and first encounter with the Elric brothers bears some resemblance to Isaac McDougal, and him impersonating another alchemist hearkens back to the 2003 anime's Tringham brothers adapted from The Land of Sand light novel.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Herschel impales him through the hands with giant metal spikes and then rips his head apart with a burst of alchemic energy. A gruesome end to a truly gruesome character.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: He's eventually killed by the real Ashleigh to which the final boss role revert to him.
  • Drunk on the Dark Side: Once his plan is almost complete he goes entirely off the rails, revealing every step of his plan and slasher smiling his way through the ensuing fight. Until the Colonel shows up, that is.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: The intro of the movie in particular is the only time we see his true face.
  • Evil All Along: He's actually Security Chief Atlas from the Cretan military, enacting a long-game plan involving identity thefts, murders and betrayals galore in order to get enough blood into the three-dimensional transmutation circle in Table City so he can create the Milos version of the Philosopher's Stone. He makes The Reveal towards the end of his plan.
  • Face Stealer: Did this to Julia's brother to Kill and Replace him, Gender-Blender Name et al. Also stole a plot of skin off Ashleigh's side containing half of the Table City transmutation circle (the other half was on Julia).
  • Faux Affably Evil: Maintains a suave, cheerful demeanor throughout most of the movie, even when he's grinding up his former allies to make the Sanguine Star.
  • Foreshadowing:
    • During the fight with the chimera in the tunnel, he covertly glances at Milosian freedom fighter Alan as if signaling him to provide a distraction. Turns out, Alan is actually Atlas' blindly loyal accomplice and his name is Raul.
    • There is also that scar that looks like he has stolen a face and Herschel lacks some face skin under his mask which is a suitable hint of him not being Julia's real brother and Herschel turning out to be her real brother.
  • Hate Sink: Absolutely any charisma and guile Atlas has is a façade, and when that façade drops he quickly reveals himself to be one of the most revoltingly sadistic, petty and cruel villains in the entire franchise alongside Dante, Envy, Kimblee's first anime incarnation, and the Gold-Toothed Doctor. And unlike them, he isn't a Homunculus, a thousand-year old immortal, or serving a greater evil, just a vile, manipulative human scumbag who ruined the Crichtons' lives for his selfish goal of a weapon forged from blood. His explosive death at the hands of the boy he disfigured is nothing but deserved.
  • The Heavy: Melvin Voyager is at the front of the action, while the threatening masked Herschel seems to be a background threat ordering chimera attacks. Actually Herschel is the real Big Bad, who has tracked down Atlas and is using him to take the Sanguine Star and open the Gate of Truth.
  • Kill and Replace: Aside from the above, there's also what most likely happened to the real Melvin Voyager, who was a short-haired man in his twenties.
  • Long Lost Sibling: Invoked because he'd played himself off as this to Julia after stealing the genuine article's face.
  • Manipulative Bastard: So much so that while pretending to be Ashleigh, he even took into account that Ashleigh wouldn't want anything to do with the people of Milos and acted accordingly, pretending to only slowly come around to supporting their goals because of Julia.
  • The Sociopath: There really isn't a better term for a guy whose evil plan involves skinning a teenager alive and manipulating said teen's sister under the guise of her lost brother for his own benefit.
  • Slasher Smile: He will constantly pull these when his true nature is revealed.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Atlas believes he's the ultimate mastermind of the events for his own lust for power. In actuality, Ashleigh has caught on to his schemes and is using him to get the Sanguine Star for his own ends.
  • Villainous Breakdown: He quickly completes his descent into a demented lunatic after Julia eats a Sanguine Star.
  • Walking Spoiler: He's the Big Bad of the film. But his true identity is a bigger spoiler.

Affiliation: Creta
Rank: Lieutenant Colonel
Speciality: Alchemy

A Lieutenant Colonel within the Cretan army, he appears in The Sacred Star of Milos as the mysterious masked leader of the Cretan force tasked with the battle for Table City. His troops also include a number of wolf chimeras.


  • And I Must Scream: Getting his face ripped off while being Left for Dead must have absolutely sucked.
  • Canon Foreigner: Like all from his country of origin, he only appears in the film.
  • Colonel Badass: His and Mustang's English VAs even sound similar, too!
  • Determinator: To absurd lengths.
  • Final Boss: Once his true plan is revealed, the Elrics and Julia are forced to fight against him to save the country.
  • Foreshadowing: He has a lack of facial skin and "Melvin"'s skin doesn't match around his neck, which is one of the hints of him being Julia's real brother and that "Melvin", AKA Atlas, turns out to be the one who stole his face.
  • Gender-Blender Name: Especially when the more common spelling of 'Ashley' is used.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: Became as bad as Atlas in trying to gain revenge and even when he achieves it, he nearly destroys the country anyway.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: To protect Julia. Tells her something to that effect to explain why he didn't reveal himself before.
  • Knight Templar: Wants to annihilate and then rebuild Milos from ground-up because he lost faith in their people due to his family's mistreatment (thus seeing them as deserving of this punishment).
  • Knight Templar Big Brother: The wolf chimeras were to protect Julia and to watch for when Atlas would make his move.
  • Long Lost Sibling: He's the real brother Julia hasn't seen in years.
  • Malevolent Masked Man: Played with as he's just out to protect Julia and avenge the hell he suffered as a teen, but then he reveals destroying Milos is part of his revenge.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Atlas is presented as the Big Bad once he reveals his plans to form his own country with the Sanguine Star but Herschel soon enters the fray himself, killing Atlas to reveal he is Julia's older brother seeking revenge and tries to get Julia to use the Star to help him open the Gate of Truth.
  • No Face Under the Mask: Thanks to Atlas.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: Ashleigh/Ashley.
  • Walking the Earth: Though his face is restored and he's forgiven by his sister. He feels too ashamed by his actions to stay with her and leaves without a word of goodbye.
  • Walking Spoiler: He is Julia's real older brother, Ashleigh Crichton and has been watching from afar to use Atlas' schemes for himself.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Ultimately, Ashleigh wants an end to conflict and hopes to use the sacrifices used to make the Sanguine Star to open the Portal of Truth so he can bring about world peace.
  • Wham Line: Towards Atlas.
    Don't you remember me, Atlas? Before you peeled off my face, people knew me as Ashleigh Crichton.
  • White Mask of Doom: Justified, as it's to hide his burnt face and true identity.
  • You Monster!: Ed calls him out for his hatefulness in trying to destroy Milos, to the point of disbelieving that a guy like him could honestly be Julia's brother because of it. And this is during a time when Ed isn't particularly fond of one of Julia's decisions.
  • Your Head Asplode: How he kills Atlas.
