Voted the second most popular character by readers of Full Metal Alchemist (FMA), it's easy to see how the Colonel Roy Mustang (coded Flame Alchemist) seemingly aloof character received such warm reception. If there is only one word to describe Roy, it's COOL. Just watching him burrow his eyebrows, give a small smirk and snapping his fingers to create an explosion is enough to whisk the hearts of the staff of 399animeshop away.

In FMA, Roy Mustang played an important role, recruiting Edward Elric to be a state alchemist. Roy Mustang was ranked a Colonel for the most part of the story. He was also a very strong state alchemist specializing in fire alchemy. He was termed the war hero of the war of Ishbal - a cruel war with the objective to eliminate the Ishbal race. Under every war hero is a tender story. In Roy's case, he was driven by guilt over the deaths he caused in the war and studied human transmutation - a forbidden technique. The war also instilled the goal in the Flame Alchemist to climb the military ladder to the seat of the Fuhrer so he could change the way things ran. The goal was supported by his best friend, Maes Hughes, who stood by to help him.

The most seen scenes of Colonel Mustang must be the scenes where he slams the phone in frustration with Hughes on the other line, going on and on about his 'kawaii little Elissa".

In the anime, Roy Mustang was promoted to be the Bridagier General. He defeated the homunculus Pride and received deadly wounds from the fight, after which he was taken care of by his adjutant, Riza Hawkeye, who had her eyes on him like a hawk for the longest time.

Although Colonel Roy Mustang always had his best interests in Edward Elric, the Full Metal Alchemist hates Roy, probably because Roy is so much cooler than him. And taller. And more suave. And more popular with the ladies. And cooler! Anyway, towards the end of the anime, they came to terms before Edward Elric goes on a dimensional time travel.
