---Character Information---
{I promise I will try my hardest to get online every Friday-Sunday with occasional Thrudays. Virius messed my computer up patheticalaly and I lost teh Link. Buut I am BACK, babies! Woo hoo!}
1.) Character Name --Maes Hughes
2.) Character Bio --Maes Hughes's personality is sometimes seen as comical; tongue-in-cheek, and, to another extent very serious about his family and job. He is often throughout the anime seen as helping people; mainly befriending and giving advice to Edward and Alphonse Elric; Roy Mustang and even Winry Rockbell. In the episode that he is introduced in, the viewer clearly sees what an eccentric character he was. He was excited primarily about his pregnant wife at the time the series was just beginning and even resulted in inviting the Elric brothers to his house as act of kindness. He shows his sensitive side throughout the anime series towards various characters in addition, and is continually obsessed with his daughter. Moments before his death, at the phone booth he had mistakenly dropped a picture of his wife and daughter on the ground, had symbolised that he was a devoted father and loving husband. It also finally gave the impression that he had loved his family very much. Before setting out for Juliet Douglas he is shown firing his assistant - who had initially been a librarian for Alchemical Library - moments before he set out to uncover Douglas as a fraud as a final act of kindness. He knew of the danger he was putting her up against and so ultimately fired her for her own safety. His comical behaviour was shown in the last moments he was with someone trusting.
3.)[edit] Roy Mustang
Further information: Roy Mustang
Hughes is very supportive of Roy Mustang's plan to become Führer of the state military, stating; "I'll work below you and help push you to the top". A common gag involves Hughes calling Mustang to either gloat about his daughter or advise Mustang to get a wife, promptly causing Mustang to slam the phone down in anger. Hughes in addition to giving some news only gives out serious information after he had actually first talked obsessively about his daughter. Mustang was deeply shocked by Hughes' untimely death and shed a single tear at his funeral. Mustang's goals after Hughes' death were all to avenge him and in his memory. Edward, Alphonse, Winry and Sheska realized this after Pinako Rockbell told them that all of Mustang's actions were for Hughes.
[edit] Elric brothers
Further information: Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric
Hughes is especially kind to Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric throughout the series. In the anime, he invites them to his home to celebrate Edward's birthday, one of the few moments of domestic bliss enjoyed by the Elric brothers outside of their earlier lives with their mother. Because the Elric brothers had helped deliver Hughes's baby it may be one of the reasons why he displays kindness towards them. Both he and his wife Gracia continue to be kind towards the brothers, as well as to their friend Winry. Hughes also seems to be Edward's most trustworthy ally in the military, as Hughes manages to convince Edward to describe to him what he saw while in Laboratory 5. Major Armstrong also seems to have similar role like this to the Elrics. When the two brothers learn of Hughes' death, Edward instinctively holds Roy Mustang responsible for the death although as time passes he drops this accusation. Alphonse is also affected, but since he was in his armor form at the time, it is hard to see him expressing emotions physically.
[edit] Winry Rockbell
Further information: Winry Rockbell
Hughes had a limited time to get to know Winry, meeting her in the hospital where Edward and Alphonse were being treated after the events in Laboratory 5. Hughes immediately baffled Winry with his obsession with his daughter and practically dragged her out of the hospital to his house in order to celebrate his daughter's birthday. There, Winry befriended Elicia and Gracia, and after discussion her relationship with the Elrics, Hughes gave her confidence to give Edward some encouragement. She is deeply upset when she learns of Hughes' death in both the anime and manga. In the anime, she finds it very troubling that a man she liked and respected had been such an ardent supporter of the man she discovered to be behind the murder of her parents.
4.) Likes --Gracia's cooking, taking annoying pictures, and ELYSSIA!
5.) Dislikes --
6.) History of the character -- [edit] Military
Major - Has this rank when introduced in the story.
Lieutenant Colonel - Promoted to this rank shortly before Edward's state alchemy reassessment examination.[2]
Brigadier General - Posthumously promoted to this rank for dying in the line of duty.
Manga
In the original manga, Hughes fought in the Ishval war — not as an alchemist, but as a soldier. While not an alchemist, Hughes was an expert in knife combat (specializing in knife throwing) and carried two or four small push knives in both or either of his sleeves or in the back of his belt, which he used as protection in battle.
He had known Mustang since their days at the military academy, when they had both been idealistic as to what the future would hold. Their values changed with the war and they became critical of where the future of their country was heading toward. During this time, he introduced Mustang to a nameless sniper who had been protecting their people. She turned out to be a young Riza Hawkeye, whom Mustang recalled as the daughter of his alchemy teacher.
Years later, he married Gracia (whom he had known before the war began) and supported of Mustang's plan to become Führer, doing whatever he could by "working below him and help push him to the top." After the incident in the military's 5th Laboratory, Edward Elric shows Hughes some drawings of what he saw in there. Upon further research, Hughes realizes that the military is making a huge transmutation circle around the country. He is confronted by Lust, but manages to escape with only a flesh wound by throwing a knife into Lust's forehead. Hughes tries to phone Mustang with the crucial information, but is killed by Envy before he could talk to Mustang. Hughes was 29-30 years old when he died (he is the same age as Mustang).
He is promoted to Brigadier General posthumously and buried with full honours for dying in the line of duty. His death came as a shock to his friends and family, especially Sheska and Mustang.
Last Words: Hey, hey, cut me some slack. I've got a wife and kid waiting for me at home ... I can't die here!
[edit] Military
Captain - Held this rank when he was in the Ishval war.
Brigadier General - Posthumously promoted to this rank for dying in the line of duty. (Incorrectly translated as Major General by VIZ Media, then later as Commodore.)
[edit] Film
Just like many of the other characters, Maes Hughes and his wife Gracia also have alternate versions of themselves living in our world, with the former possessing a slightly looser set of moral standards than his Amestris counterpart. He works as a policeman in Munich, and Gracia is a flower shop owner and the landlady of the place where Edward and Alphons Heiderich were living. By the time of the movie, they are not together, but Hughes is already trying to approach her, and Ed tells him to stop stalking her and confess his feelings to her once and for all. Their relationship starts to cool when Noa starts to live with Ed, because while Gracia supports her, Hughes, a Nazi Party affiliate, tries to dissuade Ed due to Noa’s Roma origin. By the movie's last moments Hughes finally gets the courage to speak openly with Gracia and apparently, they finally come to terms and he leaves the Nazi party.
