8 Facts About Father, the Main Villain in the Anime 'FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST', An Entity in a Flask Aspiring to Become God

Father was originally known as the Dwarf in the Flask, a small entity created from alchemical experiments in the Kingdom of Xerxes. He used his intelligence to manipulate the king and the people of Xerxes, sacrificing the entire kingdom for extraordinary alchemical power.

As an entity that seeks to eliminate human weaknesses, Father created seven Homunculi representing the seven deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Lust, Greed, and Gluttony. These Homunculi are extensions of himself, designed to help him achieve his ultimate goal.

Father is not satisfied with merely being a creature with great power. He has the ambition to become a perfect God by eliminating all human limitations, including needs, emotions, and guilt.

As a being who masters high-level alchemy, Father possesses extraordinary abilities to control alchemical energy without a transmutation circle. This ability makes him a very difficult enemy to defeat.

Father secretly established the Amestris State with a long-term plan. He used military leaders as pawns to create a large transmutation circle throughout the country, which would become his tool to achieve immortality.

Despite having nearly unlimited power, Father continues to feel unsatisfied. He views human emotions as a weakness that must be eliminated, but ultimately he cannot fully rid himself of his humanity.

Father repeatedly displays the arrogant nature that becomes his weakness. His desire to become a perfect being actually causes him to lose empathy and a realistic perspective, which ultimately leads to his downfall.

In the end, Father is punished by "The Truth" due to his arrogance. He is pulled back into the void from which he came, facing the fact that his ambition to become God was merely an illusion.
