Character Bios: Father Cornello

He is a low-rate alchemist and a fraud. He used what he thought was the Philosopher's Stone (an incomplete Philosopher's Stone provided by Lust) to fool the people of Liore into thinking that he was sent by the Sun God Leto with the power to resurrect the dead. Although he used alchemy to bring prosperity to the desert city, he wanted only to convert the citizens into a fanatical army. The Elric brothers exposed him for the fraud he was. Shortly afterward the incomplete Philosopher's Stone became unstable, shattering as it tore his arm into a mass of flesh and metal. After the Elrics foiled his plan and Cornello was no longer any use Gluttony was given free reign to eat him alive. Envy (disguised as Cornello) managed to reforge the deception until the military stepped in. (Sometimes Father is translated as Founder, usually in the Manga.)
