An old reclusive automail master. His lifelong dream was to
build automail with hidden cannons inside them, and he had
the opportunity to do just that with Paninya's automail
legs. Winry begs him to let her be his apprentice, but he
defers her to Garfiel instead, even though Winry helped
deliver his grandson. It is noteworthy that when he found
out Winry was the grandchild of Pinako Rockbell, he totally
flipped out, as apparently he has some memories about the "Pantheress
of Rizenbool" that he would rather forget.
In the anime no mention was made of any desire to build
hidden cannons, though he did build one into Paninya's right
leg. He refuses to sell an automail arm to a young rich man
because it is an arm for a fighter, and the young man does
not really need it.
At the end of the anime, he is seen helping Winry train to
become an even better mechanic
