---Character Information---
1.) Character Name --Hohenheim of the
2.) Character Bio --Hohenheim is the father of the protagonists, Edward and Alphonse Elric. He is a brilliant and well-known alchemist. He left Ed, Al, and their mother Trisha when Al was a baby and Ed was very young. Years later, Ed still holds a grudge against him for abandoning his mother, which he believes contributed to her death.
3.) Relationships with people --
Edward Elric--his son
Alphonse Elric--his son
Trisa Elric--his late wife
Envy--his first true son
4.) Likes --flirting with women and messing around with Ed
5.) Dislikes --Being hit by Ed and having his sons attacked
6.) History of the character --Approximately four centuries old in soul, forty years old in his current body, 'Hohenheim of Light' remains behind the scenes throughout most of the series. Most of his past is kept under wraps, save for a few key points, revealed quite late in the series. Hohenheim is a tall, rather well-built man, standing in at at least six feet tall at first glance. He's rather gentle and weary, and soft-spoken as well, which is most likely due to the extensive amount of time spent alive, under his assorted burdens. This disposition is clearly demonstrated when Edward actually punches him in the face and kicks him in the stomach, with very little reaction. In the anime, he sports dirty-blonde hair and gray eyes, causing him to bear a stronger resemblance to Alphonse, while in the manga, he has golden-blonde hair and gold eyes, causing him to look more like Edward (although in the manga Alphonse is also a true blonde with golden eyes). He is shown to be an extremely powerful alchemist, possibly the strongest in the series, showcasing his talents in transmuting light (hence his nickname) in episode 45, "A Rotted Heart".
In the anime, Hohenheim's official debut is in episode 43, "The Stray Dog". Here, he meets Winry, confusing her for a woman named Sara. Winry promptly flees, but soon realizes that since Sara was her mother's name she may have been taken for her mother. Hohenheim then appears at the Rockbell residence, where Pinako introduces him as Ed and Al's father.
His past is fairly murky, save for a few key moments shown in the series. Approximately four hundred years prior to the series, Hohenheim created the Philosopher's Stone, using people captured in a witch hunt. The resulting reaction nearly caused Hohenheim's death, but out of love and concern for her lover, Dante used the stone to attach his soul to another man's body. It's from here on out that the two jump from body to body, living on, and obtaining a so-called eternal life. It's not known if Dante and Hohenheim were actually ever married, but their relationship produced one son, who died prematurely of mercury poisoning. Hohenheim performed a human transmutation on his son, which, in turn, failed, producing the first-ever Homunculus, Envy, whom he could not accept. Shortly after committing this sin, Hohenheim fled, leaving Dante on her own with Envy. Later, Hohenheim renounces ever truly loving Dante, stating Trisha Elric as the only woman he ever truly loved.
Where Hohenheim was in the ten-year gap between his leaving the Elrics and turning up again isn't exactly clear. He had explained to Trisha shortly before his departure that he was leaving to do research of some kind, but never came back. In episode 50, "Death", it is revealed that Hohenheim's stolen bodies rot more quickly every time he takes a new one. Also knowing that Dante was out there, somewhere, he assumed that staying in hiding would, perhaps, make her vanish for good. But once he found out that Dante had her eyes set on his sons, he emerged to face her, only to be immobilized by the Homunculus Sloth, who bore a striking resemblance to his late wife Trisha, and was consequently sent into the Gate, where his mind, body, and soul were separated. He was able to reassemble himself, however, and emerge on the other side, in London, and eventually becomes an advisor to Winston Churchill. When Ed arrives there in episodes 50 and 51 (the latter named "Laws and Promises" in the English dub), he learns about his past. When he offers to find a way to bring Hohenheim back to their home world, he declines, saying he would rather stay in our world and live the remainder of his life in the body that Trisha loved. At the end of the series, he is living in Germany, siding himself with the Thule Society, secretly finding a way to reunite his sons again. He also took Edward into his care during this time.
In the movie, Hohenheim doesn't appear much, save for a couple of pivotal scenes. Edward has left his care by the time the movie begins. Hohenheim is used as a sacrifice on Germany's side of the Gate, fixed in the mouth of Envy, who became a serpent at the end of the series. He tells Edward that he is a sinner, performing the forbidden human transmutation on his eldest son, and that many people died in his wake. He closes Envy's jaws upon him, his blood activating the transmutation circle above.
