History
Alphonse was born to an Amestrian politician and an Ishbalan mother. He learned of alchemy from old manuscripts in his school. He focused mainly on blood and metal, feeling that there was a connection between certain elements no matter what substance. But when he was out of school (couldnt afford higher education) he came home to find his father beating his mother, yelling that he found a letter to her with a map detailing a slum for refugees because of the recent Ishbalan rebellion that just occured, thinking she was plotting something against Amestris. He dragged her out of the house and pointed a pistol at her, but before he could pull the trigger, Alphonse made his father's heart burst and caused instant death. Alphonse then went to apply for a State Alchemy license in order to send his mother into central and pay for her stay there and make sure she lived comfortably. He soon became an expert in flesh based transmutations and was immediatedly sent to the Ishbalan front. He treated numerous patients, but because of his talents, mostly soldiers so they could fill up the civilian medical tents. He only saw Doctor Marcoh once with a brief conversation that led to them exchanging letters in the form of recipes discussing many topics. Alphonse had also only heard of the Rockbells and never met Mustang there, though later they became friends. He became a good friend of Hughes but the rest of Roy's gang were left out. He met Alphonse and Ed once in central but on duty. However later after the overthrow of Fuhrer Bradley and Alphonse got his body back (Brotherhood storyline), Alphonse E. and Alphonse R. met again and travelled some together. Alphonse R. gathered some of his own gangmembers in the service and is known for his charming, humorous, sometimes seductively enigmatic disposition. That and his fancy clothes and monocle or rose glasses with pipe.
