A soldier from the eastern region of Amestris, holding the rank of Second Lieutenant. His trademark is a cigarette, as he is a heavy chain-smoker. While he has a lazy and sly personality, he is strict about his duties as a soldier, never leaking secrets even while dating. Although not academically gifted, he possesses excellent reflexes and practical skills in combat and operations. His proficiency is such that even strict high-ranking officers covet his talents. His position is a skirmisher; accordingly, he uses dual pistols or a lever-action carbine with a sawed-off barrel. He is primarily deployed in tight indoor combat to agilely infiltrate, disrupt, and assault. He has short-cropped blond hair and blue eyes, a typical Western man. He wears a dark blue military uniform with shoulder epaulettes over a black turtleneck. Having grown up through war, he entered the military academy with the sole thought of wanting to protect his hometown with his own hands. While his practical grades were good, his written scores were a mess, so he struggled quite a bit to graduate. His academy classmates helped him a lot during this time. He broke up with his girlfriend because he followed his superior to Central, and even after that, he keeps getting dumped because he prioritizes work. Contrary to his sly and lazy appearance, he shows the image of a true soldier by working harder than his subordinates and leading by example during tasks, earning him great respect among the enlisted men.
