Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric in Amestris, a country where alchemy is a science with one firm rule: to gain something, something of equal value must be lost. As children, the two broke the greatest taboo by trying to bring their mother back to life, and paid for it dearly. Edward lost an arm and a leg, and Alphonse lost his whole body, his soul now bound to a suit of armour. They set out to find the Philosopher's Stone to restore what they lost. The cast is split between the brothers and their friends, the officers of the State Military, people from the eastern land of Ishval and travellers from the distant empire of Xing. This page covers 14 characters as first introduced, with no deaths, secret identities or ending revealed.
Edward Elric is the protagonist and the youngest State Alchemist in history, known by the title Fullmetal Alchemist. He has a mechanical automail arm and leg and can perform alchemy just by clapping his hands together. Hot-headed, stubborn and very sensitive about his short height, he is also clever and fiercely loyal to his brother. Japanese voice: Romi Park; Brazilian dub: Marcelo Campos.
Alphonse Elric is Edward's younger brother. After the failed attempt to bring their mother back, his soul was attached to a large suit of armour, so strangers often mistake him for the older brother. Gentle, polite and kind to animals, he is just as skilled at alchemy as Edward and wants nothing more than to get his body back. Japanese voice: Rie Kugimiya; Brazilian dub: Rodrigo Andreatto.
Winry Rockbell is the Elric brothers' childhood friend from the village of Resembool. She is a talented automail mechanic who built and maintains Edward's metal limbs, and she gets angry every time he breaks them. Cheerful and caring, she worries about the brothers constantly while working hard to become one of the best engineers in the country. Japanese voice: Megumi Takamoto; Brazilian dub: Andressa Andreatto.
Roy Mustang is a colonel in the State Military, known as the Flame Alchemist because he can create fire with a snap of his gloved fingers. He was the one who recruited Edward as a State Alchemist. He acts lazy and vain, but behind that act he is ambitious, loyal to his team and aiming for the top of the military. Japanese voice: Shin-ichiro Miki; Brazilian dub: Hermes Baroli.
Izumi Curtis is the alchemist who trained the Elric brothers when they were children. She lives in the town of Dublith and runs a butcher shop with her husband, and she insists she is just a housewife. She is extremely strong, both in alchemy and in hand-to-hand combat, and very strict, but she cares deeply about her former students. Japanese voice: Shōko Tsuda.
Riza Hawkeye is a first lieutenant and Roy Mustang's trusted aide. An expert sharpshooter, she is calm, disciplined and serious, and she keeps the colonel focused on his work, sometimes with a firm reminder. She owns a small black dog named Black Hayate, whom she trains as strictly as she does everything else. Japanese voice: Fumiko Orikasa.
Maes Hughes is a lieutenant colonel in military investigations and Roy Mustang's closest friend. He is famous for showing everyone, whether they like it or not, photos of his wife and young daughter. Behind his silly, proud-father manner he is a sharp investigator, and he looks out for the Elric brothers whenever they come to Central City. Japanese voice: Keiji Fujiwara.
Alex Louis Armstrong is a major in the State Military, known as the Strong Arm Alchemist. He is enormous, very muscular and comes from a noble family that has served the army for generations. He cries easily, loves to take off his shirt to show his muscles and is warm-hearted toward the brothers, who find him both helpful and exhausting. Japanese voice: Kenji Utsumi.
Olivier Mira Armstrong is a major general who commands Fort Briggs, a fortress on the snowy northern border. She is Alex Armstrong's older sister and his complete opposite: cold, blunt and harsh with anyone she considers weak. Her soldiers are fiercely loyal to her, and she runs the fortress by her own rules, no matter what Central says. Japanese voice: Yōko Sōmi.
Ling Yao is the twelfth prince of Xing, a large empire to the east. He travels to Amestris looking for the secret of immortality, hoping it will help him become the next emperor. He appears carefree and is always hungry, often fainting from lack of food, but he is a skilled swordsman and a serious leader for his people. Japanese voice: Mamoru Miyano.
Lan Fan is Ling Yao's bodyguard and comes from a family that has protected his clan for generations. She is a fast, silent fighter who wears a mask in battle and uses throwing knives and blades. Completely devoted to Ling, she follows him everywhere together with her grandfather, Fu, and puts his safety above her own. Japanese voice: Nana Mizuki.
May Chang is a young girl from Xing who comes to Amestris on her own, looking for the secret of immortality to protect her small clan. She uses alkahestry, a Xingese form of alchemy that is also used for healing. She travels with a tiny panda named Xiao-Mei and has a dreamy, romantic idea of Edward before she meets him. Japanese voice: Mai Gotō.
Van Hohenheim is the father of Edward and Alphonse. He left the family when the boys were small, and Edward has never forgiven him for leaving their mother alone. A tall, bearded and quiet man, he is a highly skilled alchemist who seems to know much more about the country's secrets than he shares. Japanese voice: Unshō Ishizuka.
Scar is a man from Ishval, named for the X-shaped scar on his forehead. He hunts State Alchemists across the country, using a destructive alchemy on his right arm, and believes he is punishing them for what happened to his people. Silent and relentless, he is one of the first serious threats the Elric brothers face. Japanese voice: Kenta Miyake.
