Advent

Roy Mustang is a make clean-shaven man with night eyes. Roy'southward nighttime hair perhaps in keeping with his persona is worn casually unkempt, falling over his optics; in more than formal or somber situations, however, he is known to wear it neatly slicked dorsum.

A great fan of classy attire, Mustang is rarely seen out of uniform (and even while in compatible volition oftentimes don other accouterments, such equally a long, blackness overcoat and white formal-wear gloves), merely when dressed in civilian clothes, he appears rather partial to the three-piece conform and black tie (frequently coupled with archetype scarves, polished dress shoes and the aforementioned overcoat and gloves). It may be interesting to note that Roy tends toward night or neutral colors in his dress, such as dark blue, brown and black tempered with minimal white.

After the events of his fight with Animalism in Affiliate 39: Complications at Central/Episode xix: Death of the Undying (2009 serial), Roy carries a faint scar on the back of his right manus in the shape of the Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle. He likewise carries a large burn wound on his left side, lower back and abdomen from the same event.

Personality

"	The power of ane man doesn't amount to much. But, with whatsoever little strength I'm capable of... I'll do everything humanly possible to protect the people I dear, and in turn they'll protect the ones they dear. It seems similar the least we tiny humans can do for each other.	„
	~ Roy Mustang declaring his hopes for humanity

On the surface, Roy seems to be shallow, self-captivated and an incorrigible womanizer, infamous among many of his colleagues and subordinates alike for the selfish and narcissistic aura he gives off. Easily equally arrogant as his young protégé Edward, Colonel Mustang is i to act in an ostentatious manner and appears to deed by and large out of cocky-interest rather than any sort of philanthropy. He comes off to almost every bit a sort of cocky layabout, shirking most of his duties and delegating his paperwork to subordinates while sitting idly at his desk with an amused smile on his face every bit he procrastinates, only is quick to take action when it appears that at that place is glory and war machine notoriety to be gained.

Roy is expertly manipulative and decumbent to call up several steps ahead of those effectually him, giving him a remarkable talent for making subordinates act exactly equally he wishes despite appearing non to have had a mitt in their decisions - all traits which brand the fact that he has managed to attain the lofty rank of colonel at such a young age a affair of public gossip. Roy'southward likewise has a reputation of being a shameless flirt, and it's rumoured that he spends much of his time cavorting near boondocks with various women and wooing several of the servicewomen with his abundant charm, practiced looks and charisma.

This adds another facet to his unpopularity among the enlisted men, many of whom fear having sweethearts and crushes romanced away from them by his mitt. He has, nonetheless, never actually been shown to be on a serious date with whatever woman in the manga or 2009 anime; and any flirtatious interactions he had with women seemed to be nada more than than a cover to discretely pass along data.

Notwithstanding, while these traits practice have a place in his real personality, much of his outward persona can perhaps be considered an intentional facade perfectly designed to cause those unfamiliar with him to underestimate his remarkable intelligence and power. Mustang is an infrequent tactician, well-versed in diverse strains of combat theory and particularly talented in the realms of cloak-and-dagger information-gathering, covert operations and enemy ensnarement.

Although he e'er means well, Roy can besides show a very vengeful side when information technology comes to the people he cares about; afterward nearly getting killed past Lust and watching her attempt to kill Riza, Roy wastes no time in called-for her to death, and as she disintegrates she notes how cold and focused his eyes await. This side of him is shown to the fullest during his fight (if one tin can even call it that) with Green-eyed; disgusted by Envy'south murder of Hughes and its subsequent gloating, Roy goes out of his way to brand his death as long and painful as possible.

It takes the combined efforts of Scar, Ed and Riza to bring him back to his senses, with the sometime stating that Roy volition become like him if he keeps going the fashion he's been going, and the latter two reminding him of his ethics and he's better than the way he's interim, though all three of them agree that Envy deserves to die either style. Roy sees reason and calms down, simply is still disgusted when Envy chooses to kill itself, equally he considers suicide to be a coward's mode out.

At his cadre, Roy is a remarkably devoted commander whose master focus and personal duty is to his friends and subordinates. Though he hides it well behind a veil of pessimism and self-importance, Mustang is a human being who cares securely near the people who trust and back up him and goes to dandy lengths to ensure their prophylactic and well-beingness, even at the hazard of his own.

As a human being with considerable ability, Mustang considers himself a protector to those without and acts accordingly, earning the staunch loyalty of his most trusted compatriots. Unfortunately, his self-imposed position as protector has caused him to display a penchant toward stubbornness in regards to his pride on the field and a fiery temper, both of which have been shown to cloud his sentence in certain situations.

Relationships

Riza Hawkeye

Hands the nearly significant of Roy's personal relationships, his connectedness with Lt. Hawkeye goes deeper and further back than any other. The girl of Berthold Hawkeye, the human being who taught Roy to use alchemy, Riza has known Roy throughout his youth and military career and has a personal stake in how he chooses to live his life. In plough, Roy has entrusted Hawkeye with his life every bit his personal banana and bodyguard and has deemed her every bit both his conscience and executioner by giving her the express authority to shoot him in the dorsum should he ever step off the righteous path. Riza as well contains her father's research in the form of a tattoo on her back, the secrets of flame alchemy. This is a prime reason Roy Mustang is able to be the flame alchemist he is.

They repeatedly demonstrate a deep, 18-carat sense of business concern and devotion to each other as equals. Roy has stated many times that Riza is "truly kind" and "sweeter than she seems", although he'south oft seen complaining near Eagle being enervating and too stern with him. He enjoys teasing her at any given opportunity, especially at the times she shows her affections openly. He likewise has a tendency to human activity on impulse whenever Riza is in danger.

Though their relationship has non shown whatever explicit signs of crossing into traditional amatory during the series, at that place have been many scenes where such a romantic nature is implied.

Maes Hughes

Mustang's best friend from their shared days at the armed services academy, Maes Hughes is Roy's closest friend inside and outside of the military. Well-nigh constantly calling Roy on the phone or dropping into his function to say hello, Maes' uplifting persona is an agile deterrent to Colonel Mustang's frequently gloomy disposition. Maes is also the strongest clandestine supporter of Roy'due south bid for Führer, often giving him within information from his position in the investigations office at Cardinal Control every bit well as slipping him pointers on how to achieve his dream. Though Roy often receives Hughes with disdain and annoyance, when Maes is mysteriously murdered, Roy is overcome with grief and rage to the bespeak that he becomes well-nigh obsessed with finding his friend's killer.

Edward Elric

Officially, Mustang is Edward's superior officer, but their relationship is far from the typical professional connection. In that location exists between them a sort of amicable antagonism, as Roy takes a neat deal of personal pleasure in teasing Fullmetal and watching him squirm under his orders and, at the same time, Ed takes pleasure in getting around his orders and showing Mustang upwardly whenever he manages to notice an opportunity.

Though their meetings are fraught with a great deal of apparent, mutual dislike, Flame and Fullmetal hold a great deal of respect for one some other and are compatriots also as co-conspirators in the secret battle against the Homunculi. Having originally scouted the young boy for the Land Alchemist program and formed a bond with him, Roy genuinely wishes to see Edward fulfill his goal and Edward also subtly supports Mustang's secret bid to become the Führer and amend the country.

Their personalities are quite similar, both being quite fond of boasting of their ain abilities, merely willing to do anything to protect their loved ones.

Lt. General Grumman

Roy'due south superior officer from his days at East Area Headquarters, General Grumman has played a sort of grandfatherly role in Roy'south evolution as a soldier and officeholder. Having taught the young Flame Alchemist everything he knows virtually covert operations, subordinate coordination and womanizing, Grumman feels rather fondly for his protégé and is partly responsible for the young man's speedy ascension through the ranks. Roy owes Grumman a dandy deal and trusts him enough to seek the old man's assistance and advice when he finds himself in a compression.

Madame Christmas

Roy'due south foster female parent and paternal aunt, Madame Christmas (real name Chris Mustang) raised Roy after his parents died in his early babyhood. Madame Christmas treats Roy in a gruff, casual way, with a slight ironic tease, calling him "Roy-boy" even though her foster son is about 30 years erstwhile. Mustang seems to rely on Madame Christmas quite a lot, letting her in on his plans inside the war machine and conveying dangerous secrets to her. She acts as his information source, promoting fake dates of her employees with Mustang, where the girls usually become a payment for information they acquire from the Armed forces Officers who seek their services. She's also Mustang'southward connection to General Grumman.

They tend to treat each other with sarcasm and a bit of bitterness, even though their conversations allow in a sort of comfortable and old intimacy. As in almost every intimate relationship Mustang shares with other characters, his relationship with Madame Mustang has a skilful dose of mutual mocking and teasing.

Flame Alchemy

Even among the aristocracy Country Alchemists, Colonel Mustang is a particularly skilled alchemist adequately versed in standard physical transmutation, experimental theory and biological alchemy. However, the brilliant skill that has earned him his state license, national notoriety and the status of "hero" during the Ishval Ceremonious State of war is his remarkably powerful fire-based combat style. Mustang's unique way of combat alchemy is made possible by his custom fabricated gloves. Fabricated of "pyrotex/ignition cloth," these gloves create a spark when Roy rubs his fingers together, and embroidered with unique flame abracadabra Transmutation Circles, they allow him to manipulate the concentration of oxygen in the air. When attacking, Mustang raises the density of the oxygen surrounding his target to a level at which it becomes volatile and creates narrow pathways of oxygen between himself and his target through which he can straight the ensuing flash burn down that blossoms from the spark of his gloves. Equally a result, he can incinerate any number of enemies in the field while deftly avoiding any adjacent allies. The 'snap' sound heard at the beginning of these transmutations is caused by the instantaneous speed at which the highly concentrated gases and sparks react together and pop (and not Mustang's fingers actually 'snapping', to common belief.)

It has also been revealed that Roy is able to delegate each hand to a dissimilar flame consequence, mayhap due to a divergence in paw dexterity. The correct hand appears to allow for big explosive attacks, while the left allows for smaller, but stiff and very authentic pinpoint flame attacks.

While Mustang's Flame Alchemy cannot be used on rainy days because the humidity makes it impossible for his gloves to produce sparks, information technology becomes clear that water itself does not brand the Colonel entirely as "useless" as his subordinates assume. Using the transmutation circles on his gloves, Roy is able to carve up hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atoms in water molecules, isolating them into a highly combustible fuel and powerfully volatile oxidizer, respectively. Though this method tin can only exist used when a large quantity of water is present in a relatively closed-off infinite (and not in the rain where the air is open and separating hydrogen and oxygen for the purpose of combustion would pose far too much danger to anyone in the vicinity), with an outside source of ignition such as a cigarette lighter or a friction match, Roy can produce extremely powerful, localized explosions.

Flame Abracadabra is the brainchild of the master alchemist Berthold Hawkeye, who had spent several years perfecting it earlier his death from affliction in 1905. Believing it to exist the greatest and most powerful grade of alchemy possible, Hawkeye refused to pass on the knowledge to Roy, who was his apprentice at the time, and instead entrusted the secrets of his search for knowledge to his immature daughter Riza - tattooing the perfected array onto her back as the just concrete record of its existence. The full assortment appears to consist of a circle corralling an inverted hexagram fabricated up of a large air triangle and a large earth triangle, both splitting into identical pairs as they intersect, with a burn triangle at the center, pointing upward toward a flame. Below the hexagram is an epitome of a salamander. Outside the circle is a pair of entwined basilisks and the text of the "Libera Me" responsory repeated multiple times. After Roy gains Riza'southward trust and takes the Flame Abracadabra cognition for himself, he modifies the symbol somewhat for his gloves (removing the text and the basilisks in favor of a simplified circle). At Riza'due south insistence, he reluctantly uses his new knowledge to burn parts of the image off of her back, erasing the of import aspects of information technology from existence, and freeing her from the heavy responsibility of carrying it.

When he is forced to perform homo transmutation and encounter the Truth, Roy gains the power to transmute without a circumvolve, clapping his easily to compensate for the sigils on his gloves beingness shredded. While at first he is humble of this style of alchemy, he quickly realizes that because of the absenteeism of the need for transmutation circles he is no longer express to flame-based alchemy on the battlefield, as seen when he transmutes a stone wall to protect himself, Riza, and Major Alex Louis Armstrong from Father'southward attacks.

In the Book in Figure Reddish omake strip, Roy reveals that he sometimes uses alchemy for the purpose of scoring a date. In his "Oxygen de Gentleman Strategy", he uses his gloves to heighten the oxygen density around a specific adult female to the betoken that she becomes dizzy. He and then, rushes to her side to foreclose her from falling, asks her if she is all correct and follows up with other sweet words and an invitation for tea.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Alliance / Manga

A salamander can be found in the Flame Alchemy emblem and transmutation circle. In aboriginal Greek mythology the salamander was considered the elemental of burn. The mythological salamander was completely fireproof and lived within the fire itself.

In the 2009 anime's epilogue, he was shown to have grown a mustache, reverse to the manga.
- This may refer to a joke fabricated past the omakes of the manga, where, first, Roy is shown to be upset for turning 30 and "start to become old". Later, he's shown to exist upset because, even though "he's reached a mature historic period", he's not respected past others and information technology is suggested that this may be due to his "baby-like features" and he decided that "facial hair" would make him await more respectable. A serial of jokes ensue about what this facial hair might be, including Lt. Hawkeye drawing a kitten mustache on his face.
Mustang's tape for playing chess with Grumman is 1 win, 97 losses and fifteen draws.
In the manga storyline, Mustang is the first known human to completely kill a Homunculus and is even able to do so single handedly. As further proof of his impressive skill, he is able to bring a 2nd Homunculus to the point of decease later on, more or less by his own power. He was, however, aided both times by Riza Hawkeye.
While all original art for the manga and both anime series depicts Roy Mustang with black optics, a few tardily manga color pages show Roy with gray eyes, presumably to better portray him in moments of emotional and/or concrete duress, especially during his moment of blindness.
There are several implied jokes and remarks on the nature of the relationship between Mustang and Eagle in the manga and 2009 series. These include:
- Lt. Full general Grumman request Mustang to "marry his granddaughter" (said granddaughter nosotros know by other means to be Riza), so that she could get "the future First Lady of Amestris",

- Madame Christmas asking Roy to "Get play with Elizabeth",
- Rex Bradley saying that he could "Get to Mustang through 'her' (Hawkeye)", amid others.
The author of the series, Hiromu Arakawa, has revealed several facts about Roy in various interviews:

In the Q&A section in Character Guidebook, she said that the car Roy drives in the serial is really his (and non a military car) and that he lives in a narrow rent house in Central. She likewise says he owns lilliputian more than a couch in his living room.
Although Roy hasn't go Führer equally of the finish of the series, she states he'll eventually become the leader of Amestris and that if she were to brand any extra chapter about FMA in the hereafter, it would exist most that event. She likewise stated she has decided Roy would not even so become Führer because "he's withal as well immature".
In the Manga Artbook 3, answering to fan questioning about why hasn't Mustang married Eagle at the end of the series, Arakawa stated "[I] tin't get them to ally because of Military Regulations. If they got married, they could no longer stay as superior officer and subordinate".

But like Ed hates existence called short, Roy hates it when he is called useless especially when information technology come to battling on rainy days.

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003 anime)

In the 2003 anime, Mustang'due south commitment to a coup d'état against the Führer, and the symbolic loss of his left eye, are similar to the exploits of a World War Two German Resistance member, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, who attempted to kill Hitler in a Resistance performance chosen Valkyrie.
