Character Bios: Marked Ishbalan

A key character in the anime, the Marked Ishbalan was the one who originally instructed Mattias in the ways of Gran Arcanium, the Ishbalan term for alchemy. At the time of his introduction in the anime the Marked Ishbalan was living in the southern refugee camp after he had been banished from Ishbal by the Ishbalans for using alchemy. When Scar accidentally wondering into his hut he learned of his brother's training under the Marked Ishbalan, and sought to learn how to complete the philosopher’s stone from him. After Mustang and his men arrived looking for Scar the Ishbalan refugees were set to be moved out, but the Marked Ishbalan had to be seperated from the main group for his protection. When Ed and Al arrived in the camp and spoke with him he revealed that the only difference between the regular method of producing the philosopher’s stone and the Ishbalan methode for producing the stone was the number of people who had to be transmuted. He was last seen at the end of the anime returning to Ishbal with the Ishbalans to help rebuild their country and culture.
