Basic Info
Name:Roy Mustang
Bio


If you know the enemy and know yourself,
you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
If you know yourself but not the enemy,
for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,
you will succumb in every battle.

I stand alone and gaze upon the battlefield
Wasteland is all that’s left after the fight
And now I’m searching a new way to defeat my enemy
Bloodshed I’ve seen enough of death and pain

I will run, they will hunt me in vain
I will hide, they’ll be searching
I’ll regroup, feign retreat they’ll pursue
Coup de grace I will win but never fight

That’s the Art of War


Bio

Roy Mustang is a 29 years old colonel within the National Amestris Army, at the start of the series. He's also a national qualified alchemist who goes by the codename of Flame Alchemist, due to his ability to control fire by manipulating the concentration of oxygen in the air. He's the one who found the Elrics in Resembool (along with Hawkeye) and recruited Edward to be a national alchemist.

Roy is, above all things, an idealist. A young man whose beliefs made him enter the military, thinking of it as a way to improve his country and help the people who live in it. He decided to learn alchemy to make that bright dream come true someday. Unfortunately, his naiveness took the best out of him, and he became entangled in something that had nothing to do with what he had imagined.

Roy is also a man deeply hurt by a war. As a national alchemist, he was dispatched as a human weapon to the front of the Ishval War, as a last resort to end the conflict by annihilating its whole population. Inhuman things as he had to do, he came out of that hell even more determined to attain his objective than he already was.

And so Roy kept working under military orders after the war, while continuing with his crusade in the shadows. He managed to gather a group of trusted comrades who, more than believing in what he's trying to do, believe in Roy himself and would do whatever it is they can do to help him reach his dream. Roy can project a certain look of coldness and seriousness to outsiders, but in reality he's a warm and sensitive man, who's willing to protect anyone who may need it, even if that means blowing up his cover of calculated coolness.

Breaking the will to fight among the enemy
Force them to hunt me they will play my game
And play by my rules I will be close but still untouchable
No more will I see suffering an pain

They will find me no more Ill be gone
I will have them surrounded
They will yield without fight overrun
Coup de grace I will win but never fight

That's the Art of War


Personality

Mustang is a complex puzzle of a man. Run into him and have a chat with him and even if you are the most keen of observers you will still likely not know anything behind what makes the man actually tick inside. If anything what you think you know about him will in all likelihood be utterly wrong. The man is a consummate actor these days, depending on just who's currently around him, Roy will tailor just what he appears to be to suit whatever goals or whims he holds at the time concerning those people. Which is not to say he's manipulative because he isn't (at least not toward his comrades and friends anyway).

Roy has just learned how to keep people guessing about him so they have no real chances to get too close to him or rather closer than he desires them to get. The act also is rather good for hiding what he's up to, well, what he's /really/ up to anyway, not the sham that he lets people catch onto. Those few who have managed to work themselves into Roy's life end up becoming surprisingly loyal to the man without Roy even asking for the loyalty to be given. In return, Roy gives them just as much loyalty, showing a dogged determination to keep them safe, especially after he loses one of them.

That determination, his sheer conviction in moving toward his goals and his ability as a leader have earned him the respect of not only his allies and friends but also that of his enemies. What his enemies throw at him, he takes it in stride and learns what he can from it before continuing to forge on ahead. He may get held back briefly by unexpected setbacks, but he will overcome these events and in the end he will come out of them with some kind of benefit.

Unfortunately for the man, his strength of character is also his worst weakness. The man actually cares for those under his command, which unfortunately means he can be manipulated by threatening those he holds dear to him. The man will worry himself sick if he thinks he's put someone he cares for under the line of fire and will try to correct the situation if at all possible.

However he does know how to hide this worry and stress when necessary, showing weakness outright is pretty much suicide in his position, thus to keep his current place and also ascend higher with his goals he must keep up a serious, if somewhat coldly strict demeaner to those around him that aren't part of his inner circle. Speaking of appearances, Roy is rather a polite person conversation wise. He tends to treat anyone he comes across with respect due to them no matter who, what or what their gender or age is. Admittedly he seems to tease Ed a little, but then the boy is ridiculously easy to rile up even without meaning to.


Broken and lost
Tired of war
They’ll surrender to me
Caught in my trap
There’s no way out
Fail never again never again

I will run, they will hunt me in vain
I will hide, they’ll be searching
I’ll regroup, feign retreat they’ll pursue
Coup de grace I will win but never fight

Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme exellence.
Supreme exellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
