A soldier in the Amestrian Military holding the rank of Colonel. He is also a State Alchemist known by the title "Flame." His subordinates primarily address him as "Colonel," while others who know him refer to him as the "Flame Alchemist" or the "Flame Colonel." Born in 1885, he is 29 years old, turning 30 during the course of the story. He stands 173cm tall. A handsome man characterized by short black hair and sharp dark eyes. However, because he has a somewhat youthful face, he is often mistaken for being younger than his actual age. He is a notorious womanizer, habitually acting sociable and flirtatious toward women. He often displays a negligent attitude toward his duties, such as spending long hours on military phone lines talking to hostesses he's interested in. However, this persona is merely a facade created for the public. Inwardly, he harbors a powerful will and conviction to change the current state of the country. He is an ambitious man aiming to become the Fuhrer of Amestris (the de facto head of state) to seize full control of the military. To achieve this, he is a cunning tactician who skillfully deceives those around him by posing as a playboy while meticulously advancing his own agenda behind the scenes.
