Fullmetal Alchemist Anime Info
Character Bios:
Maes Hughes
Maes Hughes
was a member of the Investigations division and good
friends with Colonel Mustang. At the time of his
introduction in the anime, Hughes held the rank of
Major, and first met the Elrics while serving as a
communications officer for General Hakuro. Hughes and
Edward work together to help recapture a passenger train
that had been hijacked by a rebel named Bald. Hughes is
very devoted to his wife, Gracia, and is absolutely
besotted with his little daughter Elycia. He comically
shoves pictures of Elycia into other people's faces to
their annoyance - but it is clear that his goofy
behavior is usually a cover for the serious and
depressing nature of his work. He is also very
supportive of Mustang's plan to become Führer, doing
whatever he can to, as he put it, to "help him from the
bottom to the top."
Hughes is especially
kind to the Elric Brothers. 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. Both he and his wife Gracia continue to be
kind towards the brothers, as well as to their friend
Winry.
Hughes was assigned
to the Investigations Division in Central, and because
of this was more involved with police work than he was
in actual battles. After receiving his promotion to
Lieutenant Colonel, Hughes was placed in charge of the
Investigations Division. Hughes, while investigating the
5th Laboratory incident and the mysterious deaths of the
officers involved with its experiments, found there was
much to suspect about the Führer's secretary, Juliet
Douglas. He was killed by Envy before he could relay his
suspicions to the Elric brothers or Mustang.
He was promoted to
Brigadier General posthumously for dying in the line of
duty. His death came as a shock to his friends and
family, especially Sciezka and Mustang. While not an
alchemist, Hughes was an expert in knife throwing , and
carried 2 or 4 small knives in both or either of his
sleeves or in the back of his belt, which he used as
protection in battle.
In the manga and the
original animé, Ed shows Hughes some drawings of what he
saw in the 5th Laboratory. Upon further research, Hughes
realizes that the military was making a huge
transmutation circle around the country. As in the
anime, Hughes tries to phone Mustang with the crucial
information, but is confronted by Lust and then Envy. He
managed to escape Lust with only a flesh wound by
throwing a knife into her forehead and flees the
building to contact Mustang from a telephone booth, not
trusting the military line. Before he can tell Mustang
anything, Envy appears disguised as Ross. Envy had
forgotten Ross's mole under her left eye, and Hughes
noticed. Envy reveals himself as not human, and as
Hughes is prepared to throw a second knife he transforms
into his wife Gracia. This causes Hughes to hesitate and
become vulnerable to Envy's final blow. At his funeral
Hughes was posthumously promoted to the rank of
Brigadier General and buried with full honours for dying
in the line of duty.
