About
Colonel Roy Mustang is a character from the Fullmetal Alchemist anime and manga series. Holding the title of Flame Alchemist, he is a skilled State Alchemist who ambitiously strives to become the next leader of Amestris. Although he has also held the ranks of Major, Lt. Colonel, and Brigadier General, Mustang holds the rank of Colonel in most of the anime and manga, and so he is referred to as such here. He is around 29-30 years old, as stated in the bonus pages of volume 4 of the manga. In the FMA Perfect Guidebook two, there is a timeline which states that Roy was born in the year 1885.Outwardly arrogant and playfully manipulative, Mustang is intelligent and almost always one step ahead of his opponents, and likes to feel in control of the situation. He is one of the superiors of Edward Elric. On the surface, he appears to be nothing more than a man of the military who pursues promotions and praise and is considered a ladies' man who constantly goes on dates with different women. Mustang's true goal is to become Führer in order to gain the power to reform the government in order to absolve his sins in the Ishbal War as well as change the country for the better, along with the joking requirement for female officers to wear tiny miniskirts (which considerably increased Havoc's loyalty to him and caused Hawkeye to be angry with him).
His goals are admirable enough that he earns the fierce loyalty of his good friends Lt Col. Maes Hughes, Major Alex Louis Armstrong, and his own subordinates, among whom are Riza Hawkeye, Jean Havoc, Heymans Breda, Vato Falman, and Kain Fuery. While Mustang has a close and amicable relationship with all of his subordinates, he appears to share a deeper bond of affection with his second-in-command Riza Hawkeye, who has devoted her life to supporting him. This bond culminates in the final episodes of the anime when Mustang chooses Hawkeye alone to accompany him on his greatest and most dangerous mission.
Though a hero of the Ishbal War, he remains haunted by the horrors of war and suffers great remorse for the lives he took. In the anime, these include the parents of Winry Rockbell, a childhood friend of the Elric Brothers.
