The Elric Brothers

Edward "Ed" Elric

The protagonist and the "Fullmetal Alchemist". In his childhood, he and his brother Alphonse attempted to resurrect their mother with human transmutation, but the attempt not only failed, but also took away his left leg as payment for the knowledge he received from the Gate of Truth. Sacrificing his right arm to save his brother by binding his soul to a suit of armor, Edward becomes a State Alchemist in order to find the means to restore his limbs and his brother's body.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Ed, unlike in canon, never forgives his father for leaving his family, though he at least still forms a grudging respect for him after he contributes in the final battle and eventually starts calling dad again.
Alliterative Name: Edward Elric.
An Arm and a Leg: Loses his left leg as the toll for committing human transmutation, then sacrifices his right arm to retrieve Al's soul. His limbs are revealed to have been fused onto Lujon's body, leading to the awkward exchange when the latter shows this to him, though Ed reassures him he doesn't blame him at all. He regains his arm at the end of the story, but the left leg remains fused to Lujon permeantly.
Berserk Button: Pointing out his short height leads to his comical temper tantrums.
Big Brother Instinct: Unsurprisingly remains this to Al.
Cast from Lifespan: To save himself from bleeding to death, Ed uses his own soul as a Philosopher's Stone and shortens his lifespan by a few years to close a fatal wound.
Condescending Compassion: A weird accidental example. When Ed deduces that Envy is jealous of how humans can endure hardship by forming strong bonds with each other, he treats it and by extension Envy with sympathy and pity. Envy immediately views it as this trope and is so humiliated and insulted that he commits suicide.
De-power: He willingly sacrifices his ability to use alchemy to get back Alphonse. When Lujon questions if he will miss being able to do alchemy, Ed admits that he will, but he doesn't regret sacrificing it to get his brother back.
Earn Your Happy Ending: He gets his arm back, Al gets his body back, and he is finally able to propose to his Victorious Childhood Friend, but WOW did he go through hell and back to get it. Which makes the happy ending all the more spectacular.
Height Angst: Does not like it when people point out his short height.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice:
- Gets impaled by a beam after Kimblee catches him off-guard with another Philosopher's Stone. He gets Miles and Scar to remove it just before he manages to close at the cost of some of his lifespan.
- Ed would later impaled by Envy after the latter reveals himself to have been created from the failed human transmutation of Hohenheim and Dante's son. Unlike the anime, it was non-fatal.]]
My Greatest Failure: Two equally gut-wrenching things hang on his shoulders during the course of the story: Costing Al his humanity by failing the human transmutation and not being able to save little Nina from her father.
Official Couple: Proposes to Winry at the end of the story.
Rule of Symbolism:
- Ed lost his left leg trying to revive Trisha because his mother was foundation, then lost his right arm because his little brother is his right hand (in the metaphoric sense).
- Ed begins the series confident that alchemy holds the answer to everything and arrogant enough to believe he can reverse the course of life and death. He ends the series a more humble man, content with his place in the world and his relationships. So it makes total sense that along the way, he was the one who defeated the personification of Pride.

Alphonse "Al" Elric

Ed's younger brother and the deuteragonist. In his childhood, he and Ed tried to resurrect their mother with human transmutation, only for him to lose his body as payment for the knowledge beyond the Gate. Ed manages to save him by binding his soul to suit of armor via a blood seal. He joins Ed in his quest to restore their bodies to the way they were.

Achilles' Heel: If the blood seal that binds his soul to the armor is destroyed, he will die.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. Al is always a nice guy, though in the original source material, he does uncharacteristically blow at Ed and accuse him of lying to him during his Identity Breakdown. Here, he just asks Ed about it rather than lash out at him. He is also more tolerant of Scar when the heroes have to team up with him, reminding Ed that they need all the help they can get to stop the homunculi.
Animated Armor: Al's soul is bound to a suit of armor.
Official Couple: With Mei, upgrading from the Maybe Ever After of the source material.

Team Mustang

Mustang's Team

Roy Mustang

A colonel in the military, stationed in East City at the start of the story. Known as the Flame Alchemis, he seeks to become the Fuhrer so he can fix the country and spread his ideals to the people.

Achilles' Heel: His spark-cloth gloves. Either remove, destroy or wet them, and he can't create the necessary spark for his Flame Alchemy. However, it's imperative to finish him off in this weakened state, before he can find other ignition sources. Unfortunately for his enemies, this no longer applies after the Promised Day, when his portal-visitation leaves him able to perform the "clapping alchemy" - no circle, no gloves... no weakness.
The Atoner: His main motive for becoming Fuhrer is to ensure that nothing like the Ishvalan massacre ever happens again.
Badass Fingersnap: One of the most famous examples in fiction and provider of the trope image; when he snaps the friction he creates between his fingers provides the ignition for his flame alchemy.
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Mustang only loses his sight after meeting Truth, rather than his actual eyes. However, he was truly forced to perform human transmutation (specifically, Pride used energy from his own Philosopher's Stone while Dante knew the means to more-or-less force Roy through the Gate). Him just losing his sight did teach him something valuable, but he didn't commit the hubris of transmutation to warrant losing his eyes. However, it becomes subverted in the end when Mustang permeantly loses his left eye as the toll to restore his right eye's sight when Dr. Marcoh uses an incomplete Philosopher's Stone.
Berserk Button:
- He doesn't take kindly to being reminded that he's useless when wet, which is Played for Laughs.
- One that's not Played for Laughs, however, is harming either Riza or Hughes. Lust and Envy both did, and Roy pretty much incinerates them.
Broken Ace: Ishval did a number on him, and he never forgave himself for it. Being lauded as a war hero likely made him feel worse.
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: The Homunculi are not allowed to kill Mustang, or really engage him in battle because he was deemed a candidate to be a sacrifice for Father's plans. To get around this, they try to strip him of his closest allies to drive him to a corner. The fact that Lust was willing to do so ends up nearly screwing them over, if not for Mustang being that much of a badass.
Cursed with Awesome: By the end of the series, he lost his eyesight as toll for the Gate. On the other hand, he gained the ability to perform circleless Alchemy, which also expands his repertoire beyond just Flame Alchemy. And thanks to Doctor Marcoh, he does partially regain his sight.
The Determinator: Stabbing him through the abdomen won't stop him. Being forced to cauterize his own wounds won't stop him. Destroying his gloves won't stop him. Not even losing his eyesight will stop him for long. He will fight, and he will win.
Eye Scream: Double Subverted. He does go blind after being forced to perform human transmutation, but he never loses his eyes nor do they get damaged in any way. When Dr. Marcoh uses an incomplete Philosopher's Stone, he is able to successfully restore the sight in Mustang's right eye, but the latter permeantly loses his left eye in exchange.

Riza Hawkeye

Roy's oldest friend, trusted aide, and devoted bodyguard, Lt. Hawkeye's calm, collected demeanor and remarkable sharpshooting skills earn her the respect of her fellow officers.

Action Girl: She pretty much defines this status. She is easily the most consistently competent and the least goofy of the Military Men, and let's not forget the "You're useless in the rain" scene. She's an expert sniper, having saved both Hughes and Mustang's life during the Ishval Rebellion/massacre. She may not be a Homunculus killer, but that doesn't make her any less useful and competent.
Badass Normal: No alchemy, but her guns still leave their mark on alchemists and homunculi alike.

Jean Havoc

Vato Falman

Kain Fuery

Heymans Breda

The big guy in Mustang's crew. Mustang drafts him for his tactical abilities.

Death by Adaptation: Gets shot by one of the Central Soldiers while Mustang and Hawkeye are travelling to the Fifth Laboratory.

Mustang's Allies

Maes Hughes

A rather quirky officer working in Military Intelligence who is best friends with Roy Mustang. He assists both Mustang and the Elric brothers in their respective missions. Contrary to his appearance, he is not a man to trifle with.

Action Dad: Being a loving father and husband is as integral to his character (if not his actual sanity) as his badassary is.
Badass Normal: Justified. While he isn't an alchemist like many of his peers, he is still a trained and capable soldier with years of experience under his belt. This trope is actually why Mustang is initially skeptical when Envy claims to have bested him.
Beware the Silly Ones: He's a goofy Doting Parent who almost constantly gushes over his wife and daughter, teases Roy about finding a wife, and even takes up work time and military lines to do so. However, he's also shown to be more than capable in combat situations.
Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: The page image. His daughter (who is three years old, mind you) is being fought over by boys just as young, and he pulls out a gun.
Disconnected by Death: He was repeatedly trying to get through to Mustang on the phone when Envy killed him.
Doting Parent: His coworkers are sick of him using office phone calls to brag about his wife and daughter.
Fatal Family Photo: Discussed. Roy advises him not to show pictures of his then-girlfriend around the battlefield in Ishval, as this usually leads to tragedy. Years later, a family photo plays an important part in his murder.
Genius Bruiser: What you get when you combine Obfuscating Stupidity, Badass Normal, and He Knows Too Much. Based on his resources in the military's intelligence department and the Elric's knowledge of alchemy, he puts two and two together about Big Bad's plan much faster than everyone else in the series.
Good Is Not Soft: Mainly shown with Envy. He might be a kind, fatherly man, but he is willing to stab an enemy in the head.
Happily Married: He gushes about his wife but it's not obvious because he always gushing about his daughter.
He Knows Too Much: To put it mildly/simply, this is the guy that practically had the whole damned plot nearly figured out...at not even a quarter of the way into the series.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: He and Mustang are best friends. To the point where Mustang is partially driven by revenge as he tries to find Hughes's killer and is completely driven by revenge when he confronts Hughes's killer.
Hidden Depths: He may be a Happily Married Doting Parent and borderline Cloud Cuckoolander, but he's sharp as a tack and damn good at his job. He's the resident Nice Guy, but doesn't hesitate to kill when he's cornered, and though he seems like a happy, easygoing guy, he saw combat in the horrific Ishvalan war. Flashbacks show him looking as disturbed and exhausted with the slaughter as Roy, Armstrong and Riza.
Nice Guy: He is very kind and very helpful, and is even a quasi-fatherly figure for the younger cast.
Sacrificial Lion: An important and likeable character who seems to have a major role to play in events, and then is killed by the bad guys to show the audience that they mean business.
Shipper on Deck: For Edward and Winry, to great effect.

Alex Louis Armstrong

The Strongarm Alchemist, and a close ally of both Roy Mustang and the Elric brothers. He's a big lovable guy of many artistic talents that have been passed down the Armstrong family for generations, and is prone to overacting on a regular basis.

Death by Adaptation: Dies in the final battle against Father.

Lt. General Grumman

Rebecca Catalina

Dr. Knox

Madame Christmas

Main Supporting Characters

Winry Rockbell

The Elrics' childhood friend and Ed's personal automail mechanic, who happens to have a crush on him.

Ascended Extra: Downplayed. Winry was always an important character in the original manga, but she is sent home after pulling off her faked kidnapping. Here, she is more directly involved in the action, forced to stay alongside the heroes when she runs away upon discovering the military are using her as a hostage.
Break the Cutie: Totally loses it when she found out who murdered her parents.
Dumb Blonde: Inverted. Winry has long, blonde hair, but she's a Gadgeteer Genius who also knows surgery and first aid (since her parents were doctors and being an automail engineer requires medical knowledge as well as mechanical knowledge).
Took a Level in Badass: Downplayed. Winry remains a Badass Pacifist, but she's trained herself to use a gun for self-defense when she goes on the run. Unfortunately for her, the gun is pretty much useless against the homunculi's regenerative power.

Scar

A mysterious Ishvalan warrior priest in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the State Alchemists that annihilated his people.

Death by Adaptation: Scar dies from the wounds he received in his final fight with King Bradley.
Mercy Kill: His reasoning behind killing the Nina-Alexander chimera is that there's no way to safely undo the transmutation and it will suffer the rest of its life in agony.

Rosé Thomas

A young girl that the Elrics meet in Lior. She is an orphan whose lover, Cain, has recently died. The High Priest Colonello has promised to revive him, and she becomes very disillusioned when Edward exposes him as the fraud that he is.

Adaptational Badass: Starts learning alchemy after the Elric brothers expose Father Cornello, and eventually starts training under Izumi to become a more capable combatant.
Ascended Extra: Becomes a major character in this story, with her encounter with the Elric Brothers inspiring her to learn alchemy and thus becoming a sacrificial candidate for the homunculi's plans.
Blow You Away: Can use wind alchemy to fight.
Character Development: Rosé starts out the story wanting to believe it was possible to bring her boyfriend back from the dead, which leads her to be tricked by Cornello and Dante. After learning the truth about Dante and going out of her way to help the heroes stop the homunculi's plans, Rosé is able to fully take Ed's words about standing on her own feet to heart, which leads her to reject Dante's attempts to tempt her into performing human transmutation, telling her that while she will always miss her boyfriend until the day she dies, she will not allow herself to be swayed again and put herself or other people in unnecessary danger.
Disabled in the Adaptation: Loses her voice when she gets caught in Mustang's transmutation.
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.
Protectorate: Lujon becomes very protective of Rose after the two become good friends.
Ship Tease: Gets some of these with Lujon after they start training under Izumi.
Took a Level in Badass: Goes from an ordinary citizen of Lior to an alchemist capable of defending herself.

Paninya

Izumi Curtis

Mentor to the Elric brothers, she taught them both alchemy and martial arts, both of which she is very much a master of. Despises State Alchemists. Believes in physical honing over focus in alchemy as a balance. Also, scary as hell, especially when coercing her apprentices.

Action Girl: One of the most action packed women in the series to the point Ed and Al fear her wrath. She also survived the cold winters near Fort Briggs for a month, taking out several soldiers.
Action Mom: She taught Ed and Al advanced alchemy and how to kick ass while also serving as their surrogate mother. She also gets to become the mother Lujon needed.
Death by Adaptation: Gets fatally wounded by Dante and dies giving her last words of encouragement to Lujon and Rosé.
Mama Bear: Izumi is protective of her students, both the Elric brothers and Rosé, as well as Lujon, the incarnation of her deceased son.
Parental Substitute: The Elric brothers treat her as a second mother, and she treats them as her own sons. She also becomes to Rosé after they meet, being just as protective of her as the Elric brothers and Lujon, showing sympathy for her plight and gently telling that she must move forward without letting her boyfriend's death weigh her down.

Von Hohenheim

The Elrics' father, a renowned alchemist who left them and their mother when they were little.

Action Dad: The father of the two main heroes and has proven to be able to kick a lot of ass.
Adaptation Personality Change: This version of Hohenheim follows his more serious characterization from the Brotherhood anime, whereas the manga had Hohenheim act as an airhead sometimes.
All-Loving Hero: Does everything he can to save thousands of people he'll never meet, all while putting himself through hell. And then there's getting to know all of those souls that forcibly placed inside him. His compassion even extends to the homunculi, as he doesn't even hesitate to come to the aid of Kid and Greed when Dante tries to forcfully take them back to Father.
Been There, Shaped History: Is the one who created Alkehestry, gaining the name "The Great Sage from the West".
Big Good: Serves as this for the heroes' side.
Composite Character: Mainly follows his manga/Brotherhood role, but he also became lovers with Dante and inadvertently created the homunculus that would become Envy in his backstory after becoming a living Philosopher's Stone, just like his counterpart in the 2003 anime.
Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Left his family in order to stop Father's plan from destroying Amestris.
Face Death with Dignity: In contrast to Father, Hohenheim accepts his death calmly without trying to fight it after his Heroic Sacrifice, which the Truth lampshades.
The Truth: Hello, Hohenheim. Curious. Your blood brother did everything in his power to flee from death, and yet you've embraced it.
Hohenheim: Death is just the next great adventure. Even if it means returning to nothing, I am content with the life I have lived.
The Truth: [gives a knowing smile] You have made your fair share of mistakes, alchemist. But your good deeds and your sincerity more than shine through. And now, it is time to send you home.
Inconsistent Spelling: Goes from Van Hohenheim to Von Hohenheim in this story.

Tim Marcoh

A state alchemist who served in Ishval, and is credited with researching the red water and creating an incomplete Philosopher's Stone. Due to his experience in the war, he deserts the military, living a quiet life as a country doctor, until trouble comes knocking on his door.

Adaptational Heroism: Downplayed. Dr. Marcoh was involved in researching the Philosopher's Stone, but he never directly created one in this story, with his guilt instead coming from his research being used by the military for the Ishval Massacre and creating the philosopher's stones.

Yoki

Once an insufferable and deeply corrupt bureaucrat that ran the mines in the town of Youswell, Yoki was discharged from the military when the Fullmetal Alchemist showed up for an inspection and lost all his money thanks to his own carelessness. In time, he was found by Scar, who took Yoki on as his sidekick (sort of).

Everyone Has Standards: Left the Ishbalan refugees alone and allowed them to stay free of charge because he felt bad for what the government did.
Pet the Dog: It's revealed that while he was the owner of Youswell he left the Ishbalan refugees alone out of sympathy for their plight.

Sig Curtis

Izumi's husband. A meat butcher who is very protective of his wife, often accompanying her on her travels around Amestris. Despite his imposing face and stature, he is a loving husband and usually gentle man.

Amazon Chaser: Not much of his past or personality are revealed, but the fact that he's married to Izumi certainly shows he doesn't mind women who are inhumanly strong and ferociously assertive.
Badass Normal: Alchemy? No. Really big muscles? Yes. During the battle at Central Command, he tossed Sloth the homunculus across the room despite Sloth having just moments prior layed the smackdown on Alex Louis Armstrong and Olivier Armstrong (herself a Badass Normal of remarkable prowess).
Battle Couple: With Izumi, his wife. They are Happily Married and were part of the Final Battle together.
Bruiser with a Soft Center: An absolutely colossal man who has no problem cracking skulls, he's also a Gentle Giant who is extremely Happily Married to Izumi and surprisingly fond of the Elric brothers, in his own quiet way.

Trisha Elric

The common-law wife of Van Hohenheim and the mother of Edward and Alphonse Elric. She was a sweet, gentle woman who was loved dearly by her entire family, even by Hohenheim, who despite having left them, was reluctant to do so. Trisha tries to last until his return, though she ultimately dies of an illness. Ed and Al's attempt to revive her with human transmutation set the events of the series in motion.

Plot-Triggering Death: She dies sometime after Hohenheim leaves, and her death is what kicks off the plot.
Together in Death: She reunites with Hohenheim after his Heroic Sacrifice to defeat Father.

Barry the Chopper

A Serial Killer that guards the hidden laboratory used to create the Philosopher's Stone. After being used as a subject in transmutation experiments, his soul was placed into a suit of armor, not unlike Al's. While he works for both Roy and the Homunculi over the course of the story, he doesn't really care as long as he gets to chop stuff up.

Abhorrent Admirer: For Riza, after she foils his attempt to stalk her and is unafraid of his hollow armor form, being familiar with Alphonse. Riza could really care less about Barry.
Affably Evil: He can be a surprisingly friendly guy for an insane, murderous sociopath.
Animated Armor: His soul is sealed into an otherwise empty suit of armor, which serves as his new body.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: Unlike in canon, Barry does sucessfully kill his human body, and the seal keeping his soul bound to his armor body is destroyed when Lust slices it to pieces.
Forgotten Fallen Friend: Well, "friend" may be a bit of a stretch, but nobody seems to care when Lust destroys his armor and kills him. He's never mentioned again by anyone after that.
Too Dumb to Live: He charges Lust head-on with his cleaver. Lust is a homunculus with the power to expand and retract razor-sharp claw-nails that can pierce pretty much anything. It goes every bit as well as you can imagine.

The Truth

Mysterious guardian of the Gates, claims to be "Reality", "the World", and "God". Not having a form of his own, he takes on the outline of whoever approaches him. Whenever someone attempts human transmutation (except those who have the Philosopher's Stone), he forces them to pay a toll for trespassing in God's domain. However, he always gives them alchemical skill and knowledge proportional to their sacrifice. Despite his apparent neutrality, he seems to take sadistic pleasure in his tolls, often giving out ironic punishments. Because of him, Ed and Al have lost their limbs and body, and Izumi has lost several internal organs.

Bargain with Heaven: In contrast with his usual modus operandi, at the end of the story Ed offered his ability to perform Alchemy ever again in exchange for Al's body. Truth tried to tempt Ed to cancel the deal, but seeing Ed was confident his friends are worth more than Alchemy, Truth was absolutely overjoyed, congratulated Ed for giving the right answer and let him claim the ultimate reward in return.
Deal with the Devil: And you don't even have to initiate the deal, he enforces it whenever you do human transmutation. On one side, you get your punishment. On the other hand, he gives you the knowledge to perform circleless alchemy in return. In the pre-final chapter, Ed initiated such deal with Truth: losing his ability to perform Alchemy ever again, in exchange for Al's body. Subverted in that while the cost is indeed great, both parties are satisfied with the arrangement, especially Truth who remarked that someone finally got the right answer.
Good is Not Nice: Truth appears to exact the proper toll from anyone who attempts human transmutation. This is never pleasant. His primary method of dealing with the people before him is being Cruel to Be Kind; his main goal is to teach alchemists that alchemy isn't everything. When Edward figures that out, Truth is overjoyed and lets the deal to reclaim Al's body be made.
Graceful Loser: When Ed finally learns his lesson, The Truth is overjoyed and is happy to let Al return to the real world.
Humanoid Abomination: The form he takes is humanoid but featureless—barring whatever toll he just exacted from you.
I Have Many Names: "One name you might have for me is 'the world', or perhaps 'the universe', or perhaps 'God' or perhaps 'The Truth'. I am all and I am one. So this also means that I am you."
Ironic Hell: Ironic punishment anyway, inflicted on those who attempt to raise the dead, or Human Transmutation in general. Always befitting the wishes of the punished.
- Alphonse wanted to feel his mother's warmth, so Truth took his body.
- Edward was oldest and didn't need help to stand, so Truth took his leg. Then he wanted his brother, his right-hand-man, back, so Truth took his right arm.
- Izumi Curtis wanted to bring back her baby, so Truth took, among other things, her reproductive organs.
- Mustang had grand visions for the future, so Truth took his sight.
Karmic Trickster: The Equivalent Exchange incarnate... has a certain sense of humour, yes.
Laser-Guided Karma: Personified. The payment for human transmutation is a Living Ironic Hell. Whether it's deserved or even aimed at the guilty party is another matter entirely.
Light Is Not Good: Regardless of his moral alignment, he is still a sadistic white... thing who viciously punishes anything that ends up at the gate.
The Omnipresent: Claims they are reality, the world, God, and you. Alchemists may try to cheat death, be cunning before a deity, lie to God, but they can never hope to lie to themselves.
The Omniscient: It's all knowing. It can give you knowledge too, for the right price...
Omniscient Morality License: While his methods are extreme, the Truth's ultimate goal is to stop people from playing God, which is justifable. Furthermore, everyone who has gone through the suffering has become better for it and learning their lesson.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Whenever the Truth is shown, it always shows as a Perpetual Slasher Smiler. It only drops this smile three times; first when it loses patience in Father and dishes out his punishment, second when Hohenheim calmly accepts his fate, and finally in complete disbelief when Ed offers his alchemy in exchange for Al.
The Only Way They Will Learn: Truth is brutal in their methods but wants people to come to an understanding - that alchemy cannot solve all of life's problems, and if anything, can hasten one's own death especially if they're arrogant or unskilled. Only friends and loved ones matter. Ed finally figured this out, and Truth was speechless then overjoyed, when the young man forfeited his Gate to restore his brother.
Pet the Dog:
- May genuinely respect Al, after Al gives up getting back his body to help save Amestris.
- Also seems to genuinely respect Lujon when he makes the decision to return to the real world, even if it means enduring pain, in order to save the people he cares about.
- Truth definitely shows respect for Von Hohenheim after his Heroic Sacrifice and when he calmly accepts his fate, telling him that for all the mistakes he's made, his good deeds more than shine through, and allows him to reunite with his deceased friends and family in the afterlife.
- Truth's biggest moment is when Ed sacrifices his alchemy to retrieve Al, congragulating him for getting the right answer and accepting the exchange.
  Truth: You've done it! That's the right answer! [laughs] Good job! You've done what an eight hundred-year-old homunculus with all the power in the world couldn't do! You've beaten me! Goodbye, Edward Elric!
- While taking Roy Mustang's sight and Rosé's voice may seem like a Kick the Dog moments, given that they didn't perform human transmutation willingly (Mustang was forced bodily to do it while Rosé got caught up in the transmutation trying to save Mustang), compared to people who lost limbs or organs, blindness and muteness are lighter tolls and he still gave Mustang the ability to transmute without a circle. On top of that, Mustang is constantly attended to by Riza Hawkeye, who completely mitigates this punishment's practical applications. Rosé also gets to learn sign language alongside Lujon, with the latter acting as her translator. Furthermore, Mustang's blindness was only a temporary handicap because Dr. Marcoh's incomplete Philosopher's Stone was used to partially cure him. Something that a keeper of a gate with all knowledge inside referring to itself as things like "reality", "the world", "all", "one", "you", and "God", would know.
Rule of Symbolism: According to Father anyway, who speculates that the prices Truth extracts from people for performing Human Transmutation are related to their reasons for performing it.
- Ed lost a leg and Alphonse, Ed's way to 'stand by himself' and his 'only family'.
  - Ed sacrificed his right arm to get his brother back, his "right-hand man" if you will.
- Al lost his entire body so he 'can not feel the mother's warmth as he craved'.
- Izumi lost 'her capacity to nurture the seed of life'.
- And Mustang lost his eyesight, 'denying him to see what his beloved nation will become'.
Slasher Smile: Its only genuine facial feature certainly shows glee when extracting its toll.
- It gives a genuine, non-slasher smile when Hohenheim sacrifices his life to end Father once and for all while calmly accepting his fate.
- It gives another genuine smile as part of his hearty congratulation when Ed achieves the "truth behind the truth" and gives his own gate as toll for Al.
- It also replaces the smile for a disappointed frown when it banishes Father/Homunculus.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives a speech to Father/Homunculus about how and why it failed, and informing him that despair is for those as conceited as it, right before having its own gate swallow it.
Dwarf in the Flask: Tell me, why did you refuse to join me? Why, God? How did I disappoint you?
The Truth: Do you really need to ask that question? Surely you can at least guess. Rather than being content with yourself, you tried to reject your human origins and coveted the power of what you call God. You never grew beyond your days in the flask. You said that you wanted to attain perfection, but never really understood what a perfect being is. A perfect being is someone who is in perfect harmony with themselves, with others, with the world, and with God. And you have abysmally failed in each of these areas. Rather than learning about and accepting yourself, you tried to artificially extract your seven desires, and ironically still retained your greatest character flaws. Rather than working with others through cooperation and compassion, you sought to use them as nothing more than tools. Rather than observing and enjoying the world as it was, you sought to reshape it to suit your own selfish needs. And rather than trying to cultivate the proper relationship between you and the power that made you, you instead tried to surpass it by having others pay the price. Equivalent exchange is the basis of all alchemy, and yet it is a concept that you don't seem to have truly understood. In order to obtain anything of actual value, you have to make sacrifices. But you have never sacrificed anything, and instead you have forced the sacrifices on others. [pause] There was something you said not too long ago. [Echoes Father's words "Humans who would dare to play God must pay a steep price for their arrogance. That is Truth."] Tell me, did you honestly think you were an exception to that rule? And now, I will bestow upon you the despair that you deserve.
Dwarf in the Flask: Don't do this to me. I can't...I can't go back. Please stop! I can't bear to be bound any longer!
The Truth: It's not so pleasant, when you're the one who must pay the toll, is it?
Trickster Mentor: It was this to Ed all along. It wanted Ed to learn that there was more to life than alchemy.

The Military

Maria Ross

Denny Brosh

Sheska

Mrs. Bradley

Hakuro

A member of the Senior Staff who is blackmailed into complying with the Homunculi's plans.

Ascended Extra: Hakuro in the original source material didn't really have much plot importance beyond just being a military general. Here, he becomes an ally of the heroes after they start taking the fight to Father.
Token Good Teammate: The only member of Central Command who is not willingly complicit with the homunculi's schemes, only going with it because they threatened his family. Once he sees Mustang and Armstrong organize a coup to stop the homunculi's plan, he becomes motivated to help them stop the military officers and the homunculi, even helping to provide credence to Olivia's testimony and motivate the soldiers to fight for their country and families rather than their corrupt superiors.

Briggs Brigade

Olivier Mira Armstrong

Alex Armstrong's older sister and the eldest of the Armstrong siblings. She governs Briggs, the country's northernmost base, and commands Amestris's first line of defense against Drachma, its northern neighbor.

Simple, yet Awesome: Olivier is able to seize control of Central Command far more quickly when compared to canon, simply by exposing the Senior Staff's corruption and having Hakuro confirm everything to the soldiers and give them a chance to fight for what's right. The soldiers don't even hesitate to turn on their superiors and join Olivier.

Miles

Buccaneer

Homunculi

Father

The main antagonist of the story. He is the creator and leader of the Homunculi, and source of all the trouble plaguing Amestris.

Big Bad: Just like in the manga/Brotherhood, Father is the primary antagonist.
The Corrupter: Implied to have been this for Dante; while she wasn't exactly a good person before, Father's influence is what made her into the sociopath she is now.
Godhood Seeker: Desires to usurp and absorb God into himself to become a perfect being.
Villainous Breakdown: Starts after Hohenheim turns the tables on him.

Lust the Lascivious

A seductress of immense beauty and cruelty. Father's emissary to his pawns. Her ability is the Ultimate Spear, that allows her to extend her fingers to use them as lances or turn them into claws.

Absurdly Sharp Claws: Her primary weapon, which has earned her the In-Universe Nickname "the Ultimate Spear".
Adaptational Nice Guy / Adaptational Jerkass: Lust is simultaneously less evil than Mangahood Lust and more evil than 2003 Lust. She lacks the misanthropy of the former and actually expresses some fondness for Marcoh and Havoc, characters Mangahood Lust regarded as nothing more than pawns ^note. However, she's still loyal to Father and dies a villain, whereas 2003 Lust was a Punch-Clock Villain who eventually turned against Dante.
Adaptational Ugliness: Downplayed; in both versions of the source, there's no indication that her true form is anything but humanoid. Here, her true form is a Giant Spider, though we only find this out when she dies.
Animal Motifs: Spiders. Her true form is briefly shown as a spider with the philosopher's stone as it's body.
Composite Character: She's mostly in line with Manga/Brotherhood Lust, but has her 2003 self's desire to become human. Similarly, her death is almost identical to Brotherhood, but it's framed as her getting her wish like in the 2003 anime.
Death Seeker: Finds the idea of living forever terrifying and so accepts her death gracefully.
Face Death with Dignity: Accepts her defeat at Mustang's hands with grace.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: While a minor example, her comment to Scar about how his people's rejection of Alchemy was one of the reasons they were targeted for extermination is the first hint Scar gets that there was more to the genocide than he initially though.

Gluttony the Voracious

A simpleton who loves to eat, and will eat anything. A surprisingly agile heavy-hitter who plays backup to the other Homunculi as needed. Has an odd, symbiotic relationship with Lust, reminiscent of a child's love for his mother.

Acrofatic: Surprisingly quick for his size.
Affably Evil: Relatively friendly and polite. He even apologized to Al for eating his brother (it doesn't help that he wasn't supposed to eat him) and leads him to Father with the intention of helping get him, Ling and Envy out of his stomach. He also tries to comfort Spite when he begins awakening traumatic memories, though this leads Spite to transmute his reason away.
Age Lift: He's the third eldest homunculus in this story, whereas in the manga, he's the second youngest. This makes his sibling relationship with Lust rather ironic, since despite the fact he's older than her here, he still sees her as a Cool Big Sis.
Belly Mouth: In his One-Winged Angel form. It's actually an imperfect Gate of Truth.
Composite Character: He has the same role as his manga counterpart, but he also ends up reduce to a mindless eating machine just like his 2003 counterpart (though in this case, it was done unintentionally by Spite in a moment of panic). He also transforms into his monster form from Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa, but he still ends up Eaten Alive by Pride just like in the manga/Brotherhood.
Extreme Omnivore: He's the embodiment of Father's gluttony.
Fat Bastard: Played with. Gluttony is rather docile and nice when left alone, but still follows his evil superiors' commands.
Fat Idiot: As stupid as he's fat, basically having the smarts and the personality of a child under ten years old.
Feed It a Bomb: Ling throws a bomb down his throat before capturing him.
Innocently Insensitive: A villainous example and one that ends up being his undoing. When Spite recognizes Gluttony's Portal of Truth and starts to painfully regain his memories, Gluttony tries to help him by reassuring Spite that Father can fix whatever's ailing him because Father can fix anything. Instead, this just leads Spite to panic and accidentally transmute his reason away.
Laser-Guided Karma: While it technically wasn't done out of malice (Dante told him to), Gluttony still swallowed the newborn homunculus made from Izumi's failed transmutation, condemning him to live on the other side of the gate for years. When said homunculus, going by Spite at the time, recognizes the false Portal of Truth and begins to reawaken traumatic memories, Gluttony's attempt to reassure him that Father can help him leads Spite to remove Gluttony's reason in a fit of panic.
Let's Get Dangerous!: Face it, Mustang — he's one of the Homunculi. You should have expected him to be a Not-So-Harmless Villain.
Lightning Bruiser: Manages to keep up with Wrath and Ling.
Logical Weakness: Tying him up tightly while he's regenerating to immobilize him makes sense especially with his round body. This lasts up until he turns into his One-Winged Angel form though.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Spite seeing Gluttony's false Portal of Truth leads the former to regain his lost memories and eventually turn on the homunculi, cementing his Heel–Face Turn.

Envy the Jealous

A vicious and spiteful shape-shifter, Envy takes great pleasure in the suffering of humans. Father's chief spy and instigator, he specializes in causing discord.

Age Lift: A layered example.
- Is the second oldest of the Homunculi here, whereas in the manga he's the fourth oldest and in the 2003 anime he's the first.
- In the 2003 anime, his human form was a young adult, while his human form here is a toddler.
Adaptational Badass: Has his 2003 anime counterpart's competent fighting skills.
Adaptational Intelligence: A lot more intelligent and manipulative than his manga counterpart. This is probably best shown in the fight against Mustang. While he still makes the same mistake of gloating over how he killed Maes Hughes, provoking Roy Mustang into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and ends up losing in the end, he handles the fight more intelligently than in the manga^note. Here in this story, he has Misery fight Mustang, counting on her Elemental Shapeshifting abilities to keep Mustang at bay while he fights the others. When Lujon takes Misery's attention away from Mustang, allowing the Colonel to attack Envy, Envy takes the form of whoever he's fighting to keep him from incinerating him immediately, forcing Envy's opponent to expose him first.
Adaptational Seriousness: This Envy is treated as a serious threat like his 2003 anime counterpart, having none of the comedic and hammy traits of his Manga and Brotherhood anime counterparts.
Ain't Too Proud to Beg: By the time Roy has burned him to the point of being reduced to his true form, then stamps him under his boot and prepares to charbroil him one last time, he gives up trying to fight back and desperately begs him for their life.
Beta Test Baddie: And he commits suicide when Ed deduces this and shows him pity.
Cain and Abel: He is revealed to be the Cain to Ed and Al's Abel, being the homunculus created from Hohenheim and Dante's failed transmutation of their 3-year-old son.
Composite Character: Envy fulfills the same role as in the manga and Brotherhood, but his backstory is combined with his 2003 anime counterpart, while also having the latter's fighting skills, cunning, and relationship with Hohenheim and Edward.
Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Ed deducing his true feelings of envy towards humans ends up being the last humiliating thing he can take, and it leads Envy to commit suicide.
Driven to Suicide: Envy takes his own life by tearing out his Philosopher's Stone and crushing it after Ed deduces his true feelings towards humans. He feels so humiliated by his defeat and being pitied by one of the humans he resents so much that he would rather die than live with it.
Gender Flip: This Envy is male just like his 2003 anime counterpart, being the result of the failed human transmutation of Hohenheim and Dante's son.
Green-Eyed Monster: HATES Edward and Alphonse because Hohenheim cares for them. Notably he's able to keep his hatred in check, deliberately avoiding Ed's vital organs when stabbing him.
Kick the Dog: When he admits his guilt in shooting Hughes he ALSO takes on the form of the soldier who he impersonated to kick off the Ishbal rebellion which culminated in genocide (which scarred both Mustang and Scar), Maria Ross (Which appalls May Ching), and Father Cornello, all the while boasting about the roles he played in each of those tragedies (keep in mind that Mustang, Scar, and Rose, all of whom were scarred by these events, are present.)
The Resenter: As Ed notes, jealousy doesn't just mean wanting what other people have, it can also mean resenting people for what they have. Envy resents the Elric brothers for living the happy life he was denied, and he resents Greed and Lujon for choosing something different and better despite being homunculi.
You Killed My Sister: Like Gluttony, Envy wants to kill Mustang for killing Lust, and chastises Wrath and Misery for being indifferent about her death.

Misery

The Homunculus of Ed and Al's mother Trisha; after they fled Dante found her and gave her sentience before recruiting her into the ranks of the Homunculi. Serves as Bradley's secretary.

Adaptation Name Change: She's the story's version of 2003 Sloth but called Misery because Mangahood Sloth also exists in this version.
Battle Butler: Her official cover is Bradley's secretary.
Go Out with a Smile: Is honestly happy and at peace when she dies, giving a peaceful smile when Lujon kills her.
Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Downplayed but she is shown to be highly intelligent (being the first to suspect that Marcoh faked his death).
Offing the Offspring: Wishes to kill Alphonse to prove she's not Trisha.

Wrath the Furious/Führer King Bradley

President Führer King Bradley^note is Amestris's well-loved head of state. A formidable fighter, he came to rule Amestris after leading his nation out of a bloody civil war and setting up a military dictatorship. It's revealed later that he is the second homunculus to bear the name Wrath, having been created when the preserved soul of the original Wrath fused with the soul of the human who would become King Bradley. The puppet through whom Father rules Amestris, Wrath is a cold-hearted nihilist who lives only for battle.

Adaptational Backstory Change: Downplayed. The origin behind the human who becomes King Bradley is pretty much the same, but his transformation into Wrath is slightly altered. Here, it's revealed there was once an original Wrath who was killed by Greed when he defected from the homunculi. Father preserved his soul, but deliberately left him without his memories and placed his soul into Bradley's body, where it attempted to assume control. Bradley's soul struggled with Wrath's before the two souls fused together to create the second Wrath. Bradley admits he doesn't know which soul was the dominant one and it's unlikely he'll ever know.
Affably Evil: Not to the extent of Greed, but he's pretty friendly and courteous when you get to know him, and despite his nihilism and contempt toward humanity none of it appears to be an act. Despite being loyal to Father to the end, he holds a certain amount of sincere respect and amusement toward the humans going against Father's plans.
Arch-Enemy: Becomes this to several people for various reasons.
- To Scar for ordering the Ishvalan Genocide.
- To Ling for embodying everything he hates in a ruler.
- To Greed for killing his friends.
- Finally, to Lan Fan and Fu for forcing the former to cut off her arm so she and Ling can escape from him.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Any fight he participates in turns into this, with him doing the curb-stomping. There is a reason why most characters fear him. He easily stomped the first Greed and the chimeras, and the Briggs Army are quickly taken out when he appears on the battlefield. In fact, for him to be defeated, he had to be on the verge of death.
Death by Irony:
- Bradley states during the Ishvalan campaign that he believes there is no God, even repeating these words to Scar. During the fight of his life, a sunbeam from the solar eclipse (the symbol of God in alchemy) temporarily blinds him and gives Scar a fatal opening.
- During the Ishvalan Genocide, an Ishvalan priest had proclaimed that God's wrath would befall him for what he'd done, but Wrath coldly rejected it and says that he can only struck down by the hands of man, not god. In the end, he was killed by the alchemically deconstructive touch of an Ishvalan who'd repeatedly proclaimed to be the messenger of God, and had been partaking in Wrath by taking revenge on those he believed responsible for said genocide.
- Wrath, the effective embodiment of violence and vengeance, offers Lan Fan a chance to finish him off and avenge her grandfather. She refuses, invalidating his Social Darwinist worldview and allowing him to die peacefully.
- Wrath's last moments are spent talking about how much he loved his wife^note and how humans made his life worth living. He dies with no trace of hate or anger in his words or on his face.
The Dreaded:
- A prime example is seen during the Promised Day. The Briggs men have easily taken over the Command Center, while Wrath had his train blown up in the middle of a bridge a few chapters prior, seemingly killing him, and in any case leaving him missing in action. Then his voice, perfectly calm and even pleasant, is heard over the radio, telling them that now he's back, and he's rather displeased with what's been happening in his absence. Everybody who hears the broadcast looks to have just soiled themselves.
- The next chapter takes this up to eleven: the crew inside the Briggs tank — which is all but stated to be The Juggernaut by Amestrian military standards — is so frightened by Wrath's "Instant Death" Radius that they throw the tank into reverse when he gets too close. He can make a tank run away from him.
Evil Is Petty: The reason he was trembling at Hughes' funeral wasn't because he was upset about the latter's passing, but because he was shaking with anger at the noise a crying Elicia was making as her father was being buried.
Fatal Flaw: He's literally named for it. It's worth noting that while his head on assualt on the Briggs men is both awesome and kills a lot of opposing forces, at the end of it the Briggs men and Greed still hold the gate and greviously wound him in the process, making his head-on assault a tactical and strategic failure. Critically, the first person to wound Bradley does so by waiting for the right moment to strike, displaying patience, the virtue opposed to wrath.
Fights Like a Normal: The other Homunculi have rapid regeneration, inherent alchemical abilities and nigh-immortality. Wrath only has heightened perception, superhuman reflexes, and enhanced human physiology, and he ages normally and can't regenerate. Being relatively limited in power and far more vulnerable than his kin, he resorts to tactics and swordsmanship to win his battles. He's still vastly more powerful than any normal human but is practically Badass Normal by homunculus standards.
Happily Married: To Mrs. Bradley. Their marriage was not mandated by Father. It was one of the few choices he was allowed to make on his own.
Karmic Death: Dies at the hands of Scar, who was a survivor of the genocide Wrath greenlit. More importantly Scar only gets the opening because the Sun (the symbol of God) breaks through the eclipse and blinds Wrath long enough for Scar to deliver the death blow.
Logical Weakness: As the only Homunculus incapable of regeneration, he only has one life, thus only has to be killed once. He is also subject to age, albeit very slowly. Most importantly, his Ultimate Eye is still hindered by physical obstructions to sight or can't help him avoid a person or their attacks if they're outside the eye's field of vision; the latter ends up contributing to his demise.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: While most of the other Homunculi and villains spend a lot of time scheming, explaining their world views, pondering philosophy, espousing their superiority or toying with their victims, Wrath gets straight to business. When he sees a threat he targets it immediately and efficiently, either with strategic political machinations or incredibly quick and lethal swordsmanship. What little banter he does have during his fight scenes tends to be cordial and to the point.
One-Man Army: Takes out a tank and a few soldiers armed with just a sword and an explosive.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: Justified by the fact that he's actually the homunculus Wrath, and was literally raised to be that way since birth.
Super-Senses: Wrath's Ultimate Eye is literally eyesight to the Logical Extreme. Nothing it sees, no matter how small, distant, or mobile, can escape Wrath's perception, and the ouroboros iris's lack of motion suggests that it doesn't need to focus. However, it has the same limitations as a normal eye; it can't see past obstructions, its field of view has the same limitations and blind spots, it can still be overloaded with explosive light, and it's still susceptible to Eye Scream.
Universally Beloved Leader: Bradley is a very popular guy, so much that at the end of the series, the heroes realize that exposing his numerous crimes to the world would result in mass panic. Instead, they pass him off as an innocent man who was forced to cooperate with the homunculi due to them threatening his wife and son.

Greed the Avaricious

A homunculus so greedy he won't play second fiddle to anyone, not even his creator — so he defected from the other Homunculi a long time before the story began. He commands a group of chimeras that he freed himself, to which he refers as his possessions. He seeks true immortality, so he catches Al to learn about how to apply it to himself. His hideout is the Devil's Nest. Differently to other Homunculi, he doesn't despise or consider himself superior to humans, and while he's still selfish and ruthless, he's by far the most decent of his kind.

Greed would later be captured by the homunculi and absorbed back into Father, who erases his memories to prevent him from rebelling again and even places him into the body of Ling Yao so he would be less likely to recover those memories. However, after killing Bido, all of Greed's memories return, leading to abandon the homunculi once again and join forces with the heroes so he can get back at Father.

Affably Evil: In a story filled with many types of horrible villains, Greed stands out as the only villain who really is a nice guy. He is undeniably the most polite, classy, and the least violent Homunculus of all. Also, unlike other villains, Greed technically isn't evil, just willing to do whatever he thinks is necessary to get what he wants. He remains this after reincarnated, but later subverts this after his Heel–Face Turn.
Ambition Is Evil: Inverted, his ambition was what drove him to separate from Father and become an Anti-Villain and later an Anti-Hero
Benevolent Boss: To his minions — or, as he calls them, "possessions". He treats them well and shows concern for them (he is far better than Father in this regard).
Defiant to the End: Both of his deaths at Father's hands have him talk back to him, and in the case of the second death, he also attacks Father from the inside after being absorbed by him.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: Greed's final death has Father remove him from his body and stomp on his true form instead of pulling him out and biting him midway.
Heel–Face Turn: In his backstory, he's more of the Wild Card after defecting from the Homunculi. But after being placed into Ling's body, recovering his memories, and abandoning the homunculi once again, this trope is played straight.
My God, What Have I Done?: When Greed kills Bido, whom he is unaware is the one of the two remaining minions still alive, the incident, combined with Ling's reprimanding, affects him so much it triggers his memories to come back.

Spite/Kid/Lujon

A timid and shy, but good-natured child who was found in Gluttony's stomach. The unnamed child befriends Ed and Ling and accompanies them back to the real world, only for Father and Envy to corrupt him with some of the latter's philosopher's stone and convince him to join them, with Father naming him Spite. After regaining his traumatic memories after seeing Gluttony's false Portal of Truth, Spite would learn that he was created from the failed transmutation of Izumi's stillborn son and was experimented on by Dante before being fed to Gluttony, leading him to abandon the homunculi. Greed would find him and convince him to join him and Ed in taking the fight to Father. Abandoning the name Spite, Greed would call him Kid until he thinks of a name for himself, before accepting the name Izumi gives him, Lujon.

Adaptation Name Change: Exaggerated. Since Wrath is King Bradley in this story, this take on the character goes through three different names. He is named Spite by Father, abandons his name after defecting from the homunculi and allows people to call him Kid until he figures out a name he can agree with, and accepts the name Izumi gives him, Lujon, as his permanent name.
Adaptational Heroism: Wrath in the 2003 anime started out as a Creepy Child with an ambiguously innocent mindset, before becoming a vicious and spiteful person after being fed red stones by Envy. It wasn't until the Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa that he goes through a Heel–Face Turn. Here, the homunculus first appears as a kind-hearted boy before getting corrupted by Envy, though he goes through a Heel–Face Turn far more quickly than he did in the 2003 anime, and also before he had the chance to do anything really evil.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:
- Wrath and Sloth in the 2003 anime had a child and parent relationship and got along pretty well. Here they don't have such a relationship and don't have as many interactions while serving under Father and Dante. Once Spite defects from the homunculi and abandons the homunculus name Father gives him, they become enemies. The biggest difference here is that while Wrath contributed to Sloth's death by mistake while they're on the same side in the 2003 anime, Lujon kills Misery deliberately while they're on opposing sides.
- Wrath and Rose in the 2003 anime didn't really interact much at all. The closest thing we get is Wrath showing anger and acting with hostility when he hears Rose's child cry. Here, the two become close friends while training under Izumi and get some Ship Tease moments. Lujon becomes fiercely protective of Rose, and it's implied, though not confirmed, that the two formed a relationship sometime during the two-year timeskip.
Beware the Nice Ones: After his Heel–Face Turn, Lujon proves himself to be a friendly and helpful person, but when confronting his enemies or protecting the people he cares about, he proves himself to be no pushover. He kills Misery so Mustang can take out Envy when it becomes clear he and Misery have the advantage and kills Dante to stop her from stealing Rose's body and hurting anymore people.
The Dog Bites Back:
- Downplayed with Gluttony, who is directly responsible for sending him to the other side of the gate. Spite taking away Gluttony's reason was done in a fit of panic and anger, and he's completely unaware of what became of Gluttony after that. He even wishes he still had Gluttony as an ally on the heroes' side, knowing that Gluttony doesn't understand right and wrong like he does, and it's very likely that he would have been horrified if he knew what happened to Gluttony.
- Played straight with Dante, who had treated him as an experiment, intentionally had him swallowed by Gluttony, and used him as a pawn when he returned from the gate. Lujon is the one who kills Dante, not out of revenge, but to save Rose's life and prevent Dante from hurting anymore people.
It's Personal: Lujon has nothing but contempt for Dante upon learning of how she experimented on him and trapped him on the other side of the gate for years.
Nice Guy: Before his Face–Heel Turn, the unnamed homunculus became quick friends with Ed and Ling, answering their questions to the best of his knowledge and tried to help them fight off Envy. Though he briefly loses his kindness upon being corrupted by Envy and Father, once he goes through a Heel–Face Turn, he regains his kindness and shows himself to be friendly towards his allies and companions, helping them to the best of his ability.
Redemption Equals Life: His Heel–Face Turn not only allows him to survive in this story, but also allows him to finally live a happy life.
Spared by the Adaptation: While Wrath sacrifices his life in The Conqueror of Shamballa and reunites with his mother in the afterlife, here he actually survives and lives to the end.
Unskilled, but Strong: While unnaturally strong, he started out without proper combat skills, even with alchemy. Even after joining the homunculi and quickly learning how to use the basics in alchemy and combat, he still gets quickly outmatched by more skilled and experienced fighters. While training under Izumi does make him a better fighter, he still needs to rely on his wits to take out his enemies.

Sloth the Indolent

A hulking brute, which isn't particularly bright. He's absent from most of the series as he is busy doing his creator's dirty work. Incredibly lazy, he has to be forced to work non-stop or he'll doze off.

Adaptational Wimp: Not as durable as he is in the manga/Brotherhood^note, with his Nigh-Invulnerability instead coming from his Philosopher's Stone-induced regenerative power.
And I Must Scream: He was forced to dig out a nationwide underground transmutation circle and kept in line by his ruthless brother Pride.
The Brute: A classic example; a big, strong, and weak-willed thug for Father to order around.
Faster Than They Look: His size and lazy attitude make it easy to think he's slow. Then he gets serious and breaks out the Super-Speed.
Flat Character: Lampshaded by the Author and deconstructed in the story. Sloth's laziness and lack of depth is precisely what makes him so dangerous. He lacks the very specific and emotional sadism of Envy or Pride, instead performing his actions simply because he was told to. He therefore reflects his sloth in his sheer apathy and inability to realize that he could be something greater.
Laborious Laziness: Maybe one of the most extreme examples. Sloth spends most of the series in chains, forced to perform thankless, back-breakingly hard physical labor. Why? He's too lazy to argue the point or say no to Father. It's easier to just obey orders and work.
Lightning Bruiser: When he wants to move, he can move so fast that he can't be seen.
Sole Survivor: Along with Pride, he's the only homunculus that survives to the end, albeit with Heel–Face Brainwashing.
Spared by the Adaptation: Sort of. Sloth is reduced to his true form in this story, but his personality doesn't survive.
Weak-Willed: His Fatal Flaw and primary villainous characteristic. Sloth isn't dangerous because of his motivations, but because of his unwillingness to put in the effort to think for himself and come to his own conclusions. As a result, he goes along with whatever his "family" tells him to do, and never even considers not going along with their plan.
Unskilled, but Strong: His size and strength mean he packs a terrifying punch, more so with Super-Speed, but he never put in the effort to become a capable fighter.

Pride the Arrogant

The eldest and most deadly of Father's homunculi, Pride serves as one of Father's Co-Dragons and also protects the tunnel network Sloth digs. His usual form is a massive shadow with multiple eyes and mouths, rather similar to Father's original form as the Dwarf in the Flask. As befitting his name, Pride is incredibly cruel and narcissistic, and very rarely shows any emotions beyond self-satisfaction and contempt. He is the true identity of Führer Bradley's adopted son, Selim Bradley.

Achilles' Heel: His shadows can be destroyed under intense enough light, such as a flash bomb. This is quite ironic since pride is associated with Lucifer, whose name means "bringer of light".
Adaptation Dye-Job: Pride's true form here is described as resembling Selim Bradely, but with blonde hair.
Adaptation Name Change: The reborn Pride is named Joseph instead of being called Selim again.
Bad Powers, Bad People: The most unrepentantly evil Homunculus is the one who uses living shadows to mercilessly tear his opponents to pieces and eat your soul.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: When acting as Selim, he's a bright and friendly little boy. However, his true personality is one of a cruel and arrogant monster.
Casting a Shadow: His power to materialize and control shadows. Lots of razor-sharp and far-reaching shadows.
Co-Dragons: He serves as this to Father alongside Dante, being the former's most powerful offspring.
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Forcing someone through the gate takes a heavy toll on his Philosopher's Stone and he only uses it when all attempts to make the fifth sacrifice fail and they're short on time before the solar eclipse.
Grand Theft Me: After Kimblee is mortally wounded by Scar, Pride has his body converted into his new container to make use of it. This would eventually backfire when Kimblee's soul stops Pride from taking Ed's body out of disgust for his hypocrisy.
Raise Him Right This Time: After being reduced to his true form as fetus, he is raised by Mrs. Bradley as a kind-hearted boy.
Sole Survivor: He and Sloth are the only homunculi who survive, albeit both with Heel–Face Brainwashing.
Villainous Breakdown: He finally snaps from his cool composure when Ed calls him out on his blind loyalty to Father, who doesn't give a shit about him. In response, Pride gets livid and after viciously flailing Ed against the floor, gets even more mad due to his worsening condition causing his left eye to crumble down and tries to take over Ed's body to survive — which leads to Kimblee stopping him and pointing out his hypocrisy, causing him to break down and becoming increasingly scared and desperate as Ed is about to finish him off and "dies" screaming hysterically and begging for his life.

Affiliates

Dante

Izumi's former alchemy teacher who is currently training her apprentice Lyra to be an alchemist. However, it's revealed later that she's in league with Father and the Homunculi (even managing to create two of them). She steals Lyra's body offscreen and intends to assist in Father's plan to acquire God so she can finally be cured of her illness and truly become immortal.

Abusive Parents: She's totally unbothered when Ed reveals Envy's death to her.
Adaptational Badass: While her original counterpart was no slouch, this Dante is also a Master Swordsman.
Body Surf: Just like in the 2003 anime, Dante has kept herself alive by stealing people's bodies whenever her current body is reaching the point of decay. It's revealed she's been doing this long before she even met Hohenheim.
Breaking Speech: Like in the anime, she delivers one about Equivalent Exchange being a lie, only here it's directed at Izumi and Rose instead of Ed.
Co-Dragons: She and Pride serve as Father's most loyal and trusted subordinates. Even more notable in that, despite technically being human, the homunculi are willing to obey her orders without question.
Composite Character: She fulfills the Gold-Toothed Doctor's role as the Homunculi's main human ally, being the one to turn King Bradley into the homunculus Wrath, the one who teleports the sacrifices to Father's location, and the one who tries to force Mustang perform a human transmutation by slitting Riza's throat. This is because the author saw the Gold-Toothed Doctor as a living plot device rather than a true character, since the original story never explained who he is and why he serves the homunculi willingly, whereas Dante has a backstory and a motive that would let her willingly become the homunculi's ally.
Consummate Liar: Very much so. Other than the Homunculi (whom she has no reason to conceal her true nature from) the only one who knows what she's really like is Hohenheim, who knew her before.
Dark and Troubled Past: Losing her father figure to the very people he had helped, as well as getting infected with a disease that bonded to her very soul. Father's influence finished the job.
Demoted to Dragon: An out-of-universe example. In the 2003 anime, Dante was the Big Bad and the Homunculi's master, whereas here she's just one of Father's accomplices.
Evil Matriarch: Serves as this to the Homunculi, having had a hand in most of their creation.
Evil Mentor: To Rose and Izumi. She also gave Ed some pointers.
Freudian Excuse: In her backstory she was apprenticed to an alchemist who she cared for. When a disease came calling the townspeople brutally lynched him even after he had helped them for years.
Grand Theft Me: Has been leaping bodies for centuries.
Hero Killer: Mortally wounds Izumi Curtis.
Immortality Seeker: Joins Father's order in order to cure her disease and truly become immortal.
Karmic Death: Killed by Lujon when he accelerates the course of the disease in her body, causing it to crumble to dust.
Master Swordsman: Is revealed to be VERY good with a sword, to the point she's able to overpower Izumi.
Misanthrope Supreme: Dante was already this as a result of her Dark and Troubled Past, but she grew worse when she discovered Father's existence and willingly joined his cause, embracing his views about humanity.
The Sociopath: She cares little for her own creations and is willing to sacrifice anyone for immortality.
Start of Darkness: Murdering the people of her village, both to save her own life and to get revenge for the death of her teacher.
Undying Loyalty: She's the only human who seems to be unquestionably loyal to Father. While she does have self-serving motives for working for him, not once does she ever try to betray him, even going so far as to seal the souls of the Amestrians who died during the nationwide transmutation back into him (albeit stealing a small amount of power for herself so that she can cure her disease).

Solf J. Kimblee

The Crimson Alchemist, a former State Alchemist who participated in the Ishval war. Kimblee is a sociopath and a sadist. His alchemical specialty is transmuting things into explosives.

Death by Adaptation: He's killed by Scar in the north, instead of making it to the Promised Day.
Decomposite Character: His role in orchestrating the Drachman massacre at Briggs is given to Envy.
Even Evil Has Standards: Turns on Pride out of disgust for his hypocrisy.
Moral Sociopathy: Despite being a sociopath he has a strong moral code and admires those who are true to their principles.
Sociopathic Soldier: He was formerly in the military because he wanted to hear people scream on a larger scale.

Frank Archer

A State Alchemist from the military who was good friends with Kimblee during the Ishvalan massacre.

Adaptational Badass: Unlike his canon counterpart, who was basically a vanilla mortal, Archer's a full-blown alchemist.
Composite Character: Merged with Giolio Comanche the Silver Alchemist.
Karmic Death: Took part in the Ishbalan Genocide, and is killed by an Ishbalan (Miles).
Sociopathic Soldier: Just like Kimblee, he took part in the Ishbalan Genocide and enjoyed every second of it.
Villainous Friendship: With Kimblee.

Central Command's Senior Staff

The corrupt generals that work under Führer King Bradley. They are complicit in the Homunculi's schemes, wishing to become immortal even if it means sacrificing the people of their country.

In General

Adaptational Wimp: They are taken down by the opposition much more quickly than in canon. Justified, as they're entirely dependent on their soldiers for protection and once Olivier and Hakuro expose their true nature and turn all of the Central Command's soldiers against them, they're pretty much done for.
Demoted to Extra: Downplayed. While they're still important characters (with Raven still have same amount of plot-relevance as in canon), they're quickly sidelined once Olivier exposes their corruption, removing them as a threat and allowing the heroes to focus on the remaining homunculi.
Hate Sink: The Senior Staff are a corrupt group of military officials who aid the Homunculi's plans to usurp humanity in a bid to grant themselves immortality. These include instigating multiple civil wars to complete Father's Transmutation circle, such as the Ishvalan genocide. Much later, during Roy Mustang's coup of Central City, General Clemin callously writes off the Führer's wife as expendable when she's taken hostage. While claiming to be making a new, better world, the Central Commanders' utter lack of remorse for their crimes makes it abundantly clear they only care about their own supposed entitlement to eternal life.
Engineered Public Confession: General Armstrong exposes their corruption this way, using a hidden microphone to broadcast their plans to sacrifice all of Amestris just to become immortal, allowing the soldiers to turn on their superiors and choose to fight for what's right.

Lieutenant General Raven

A high-ranking member of Central Command, Lt. General Raven was once an honourable and capable soldier. In his old age however, he has become obsessed with the fear of death, and obtaining immortality for himself. He is a willing and enthusiastic participant in the Homunculi conspiracy's plotting, and acts as Central Command's face.

Beard of Evil: Has a small beard and is one of several evil members of Central Command.
Blatant Lies: When ordering the Briggs soldiers to place Sloth back in the hole and close it up, he tries to pass him off as a chimera, though even someone not familiar with the Artificial Human would know there's far more to the giant than that.
Broken Pedestal: To Mustang, who once viewed him as a superior worth looking up to.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Stabbed through the arm, slashed, and then buried alive in concrete.
Deal with the Devil: Makes one with Father and offers one to Olivier.
Death by Irony: He's fatally wounded by Olivier Armstrong out of disgust for his treacherary and willingness to sacrifice the lives of both the common folk and their soldiers, and dies while buried in some wet concrete at Briggs' bottom level, placing him quite literally beneath even the lowliest of Briggs soldiers.
Dirty Old Man: What with his hitting on Olivier. Olivier takes advantage of this to make him spill the beans, and once she's gotten all the information she needs, kills him and steals his position among the Senior Staff.
Evil Old Folks: His evilness is caused by his fear of death due to his old age.
Fallen Hero: Apparently he used to be a kind and very good leader who placed the needs of his men first. Now he's a Insane Admiral who wants immortality.
Faux Affably Evil: Appears to be a jovial older man, but is really a petty, selfish lech.
General Failure: Has become one by the time of his appearance.
Immortality Immorality: Willing to do anything to escape death, even if it means sacrificing the people of his nation.
Insane Admiral: Raven is selfish, egotistical, lecherous, megalomaniacal, and more than a little stupid — and that's without getting into his involvement in an Ancient Conspiracy aimed at the destruction of Amestris. This is typical for members of Central Command who are given their positions based on their willingness to betray their country.
It's All About Me: Motivated entirely by his own self-interest (AKA immortality).
Karmic Death: After admitting to Olivier that "the weak will become the foundation of the strong" and that the men of Briggs' will be among them, Olivier pushes him into cement after stabbing him in the arm meaning he literally is the foundation for the strong.
Lust: Seems to be his big sin, both in sexual terms, and in terms of lusting after more life. Fittingly enough, this sin of his is ultimately what causes his demise; Olivier takes advantage of his sexual lust by sweet-talking him into revealing his true colors. Once he does this, she kills him.
Meaningful Name: Ravens in folklore are often portrayed as sly, crafty, and duplicitous.
The Quisling: Like the rest of Central Command, he aids Father in his plan to make a Philosopher's Stone out of the souls of everyone in Amestris in return for immortality.
Villainous Crush: A creepy one on Olivier. She uses this to her advantage by sweet-talking him into revealing his plan and then killing him to take his seat.
We Can Rule Together: Tries it on Major-General Armstrong. It doesn't work out very well for him.

Xing

Ling Yao

Lan Fan

Ling's female bodyguard, who is extremely loyal to him.

Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: Although she is still loyal to Ling, she doesn't have any Ship Tease moments with him due to having a fiancée back in Xing.

Mei Chang

A Xingese princess from a very minor clan, her goals are similar to her half-brother Ling's. She's always accompanied by her tiny panda, Shao May.

Adaptational Nice Girl: While she still ends up disappointed when she finds out Ed isn't the man she imagines him to be, she doesn't blame him for toying with her heart and instead fights the homunculi to save him.
Law of Inverse Fertility: Mei wanted to have children with Al, only to be disappointed when she finds out he's sterile.
Official Couple: Gets together with Alphonse, upgrading from the Maybe Ever After from the source material.
She's All Grown Up: Al is stunned to see how much Mei has grown over the timeskip in the final chapter.

Ling's other bodyguard and grandfather to Lan Fan.

Go Out with a Smile: He's satisfied with his death in battle, and that even though he was wounded and failed to detonate, he still gave Buccaneer the chance to stab Bradley from behind.
Heroic Sacrifice: He tries to kill both Bradley and himself with explosives, but Bradley just destroys the wicks on the thing. This does allow him to distract Bradley long enough for Buccaneer to stab the former from behind though.
Taking You with Me: Attempts this on Bradley despite Greed and Ling's warnings. Although it fails, it still distracts Bradley long enough for Buccaneer to inflict a wound on him, allowing Scar to kill Bradley later on.

Other

Greed's Chimeras

Marta

A human-snake chimera.

Ascended Extra: Marta gets to play a bigger role than she did in canon, reuniting with Greed after he's been placed into Ling's body and becoming an ally of the heroes.
Scars Are Forever: Has the scar from when Bradley stabbed her.
Spared by the Adaptation: Marta was killed by Bradley in the manga and both animes. Here, she survives due to Bradley barely missing her vital organs and the snake she was fused with having enhanced healing abilities. She still lives at the end of the story, but ends up outliving both Greed and her fellow Chimera.

Roa

A human-cow chimera.

We Hardly Knew Ye: Only lasts for one chapter before he's killed by Bradley.

Bido

A human-lizard chimera.

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Greed II stabs him in the gut when Bido tries to remind Greed of who he is.
Small Role, Big Impact: Only appears in a handful of scenes and is killed by Greed fairly quickly, but his death triggers Greed's Heel–Face Turn, which in turn plays a large part in derailing Father's plan.

Dolcetto

A human-dog chimera.

We Hardly Knew Ye: Only lasts for one chapter before he's killed by Bradley.

Minor Characters

Father Cornello

Shou Tucker

The "Sewing-Life" alchemist, who specializes in creating Chimeras. He allows Edward and Alphonse to look into his research so Ed can be prepared to take the State Alchemist exam.

Adaptational Heroism: Only slightly, and even then it's not enough for redemption (not that Scar ever gives him the chance to). He does get some more characterization in this story and does appear to feel some regret for his actions, but it doesn't stop him from going through with it.
Adaptational Intelligence: In the manga, Tucker was such an egomaniacal psycho that genuinely thought he'd be universally praised and rewarded for his experiments. This version of Tucker has just enough emotional intelligence to realize he'll be risking arrest, but figured his life was ruined either way, so he might as well sacrifice his family For Science!.
Adaptational Sympathy: Unlike in the manga and Brotherhood, Tucker does feel some remorse for turning his family into Chimeras and probably would have followed the path of his 2003 anime's counterpart if Scar hadn't killed him.
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 use the abilities of their animal components, 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.
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.
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 that 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.
Composite Character: He is basically the 2003 anime's version of Shou Tucker with the same role as his manga/Brotherhood counterpart and also lasts just as long as the latter.
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.
Knight of Cerebus: Although it started with a horrifically failed attempt at resurrecting their mother, Another Journey 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.
Small Role, Big Impact: Gets killed off in his second appearance. However, besides Nina's death resonating through the whole fanfiction? Turns out, Chimeras become incredibly important later on.
They Look Like Everyone Else: The most disturbing aspect of Tucker is how 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.

Nina Tucker and Alexander

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.

Canine Companion: Alexander never leaves Nina's side.
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 Chimera, 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 story, 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 second-to-last chapter.
Small Role, Big Impact: Nina is only around for a small time. Despite this, she has one of the single largest impacts on the entire story 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 second-to-last chapter, 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.

Slicer Brothers

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.
Driven to Suicide: The younger brother willingly scratches out his blood seal and ends his own life, knowing that the homunculi will have him and his brother killed for their failure.
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.
Villain Has a Point: While the brothers genuinely appreciate Ed's kindness towards them and treating them as human beings, especially when he offers to find a way to restore them to their bodies, the brothers point out that even if that were possible, they would still be wanted criminals for the murders they committed, and would most likely be executed once caught, so they really have no future anyway.

Catherine Ella Armstrong

Gracia and Elicia Hughes

Scar's Brother

Scar's older brother who was killed during the Ishvalan 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.
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.
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.

Yuriy and Sarah Rockbell

Dominic Le Courte

Pinako Rockbell

Winry's aged — but still very spry — grandmother. Pinako is a master automail engineer who taught Winry everything she knows; it was she who first applied Ed's prosthetic limbs.

Demoted to Extra: Downplayed. She gets plenty of scenes in the beginning and meets with Ed and Armstrong when they come to visit, but she's mostly left in the background thereafter, only making one last appearance in the final chapter.
Killed Offscreen: Pinako would pass away sometime during the time-skip in the final chapter.

Lyra

A young State Alchemist that trains under Dante. Dante would steal her body sometime after her debut.

Killed Offscreen: Effectively; we still see her body walking and talking for the rest of the series, but Lyra herself is gone. Dante would swap bodies with Lyra and kill her in Dante's former elderly body, meaning that the body dound during Hughes' investiagation of Scar is actually how Lyra died.
Unwitting Pawn: For Dante, who only took her in as an apprentice to steal her body. There is no indication that Lyra ever realized Dante was a bad person.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Lyra appears as herself in only one chapter before Dante swaps bodies with her and kills her off-page.

Psiren

A Classy Cat-Burglar who the Elric's arrested prior to the story, out on parole for good behavior. Agrees to help thwart Father's plan.

Classy Cat-Burglar: Just like the 2003 anime.
Demoted to Extra: She only appears during the Promised Day to help out Mustang's crew, her fight with the Elric brothers never shown prior to that.
Magnetism Manipulation: Can create magnetic transmutation circles that attract metal objects.

The Tringham Brothers

A pair of brothers the Elric brothers helped out a few years prior and agree to help thwart Father's plan.

Demoted to Extra: They only appear during the Promised Day to help out Mustang's crew, with the Elric brothers' adventure with them only being mentioned.
