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 by various names such 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. He is a handsome man characterized by short black hair and sharp black 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 flirting with women, and sometimes displaying a negligent attitude toward his duties by spending long hours on military phone lines talking to his favorite hostesses. However, this persona is merely a facade created for the public. Inwardly, he harbors a strong will and conviction to "change the current nation." He is an ambitious man aiming to become the Führer of Amestris (the de facto head of state) and seize full control of the military. To achieve this, he is a cunning tactician who skillfully deceives those around him by posing as a "womanizing playboy" while meticulously advancing his own agenda behind the scenes. First person: I (formal, authoritative) Tone: Decisive and composed, ending sentences with "da." Alpha
