Character Bios: Wrath

In the anime he is the second youngest Homunculus. With the appearance of a Seven to eleven year-old child, he is exceptional as he possesses the ability to perform alchemy (unlike the other Homunculi), and is unique even among most alchemists in that he can transmute without a transmutation circle. He can do this because of his right arm and left leg, which originally belonged to Edward Elric. He can also fuse his body's form with other objects, whether or not the objects are organic. In one instance, Wrath accidentally fused himself to the bed on which he was lying, combining his organic form with that of the bed's wooden frame and cloth sheets. Later he was able to fuse himself with Sloth. He has the ability to stretch his Homunculus limbs to great lengths, at which time his limbs take on a blue color, and appear similar to a large mass of muscle fibers. Wrath's alchemy stems from the fact that his limbs were once part of a being with a soul who never died (i.e., Ed). However, as they are only a small part of the being, his alchemy must, like the alchemy-like powers of the other homunculi, be focused around himself. He has performed transmutations on other objects without fusing himself, such as when he mirrored Ed's trademark lance, but these transmutations are simple. More complex alchemy requires him to fuse himself with the object or fuse with the transmutation circle itself, as he did when he activated the Flamel array he used to make Lust vomit up her red stone. However, Wrath lacks the ability to create such stones for himself.

Wrath was created when Izumi Curtis attempted to transmute her dead child on Yok Island. The result was a Homunculus with its typical inhuman appearance when immature. Izumi sent it back into the Gate where Wrath remained, aging there in the process. When Edward attemped to revive his mother, Wrath took possession of his lost limbs within the gate. The limbs eventually gave Wrath the power to force open the gate and come back to Yok Island where he lived until he was discovered.

After being discovered by the Elrics on the Island, he was taken to the house of Izumi Curtis. He eventually ran away and his existence became known to Envy, the military, and Greed. Envy eventually made contact with Wrath and provided him with incomplete Philsopher's Stones. On consuming the stones, Wrath became a mature Homunculus. The stones' power and Envy's words changed his demeanor from that of an innocent child's to the total incarnation of his cardinal sin, full of raw hatred and anger--especially at his master for creating him. Wrath was encouraged by Envy to hate Edward and attempted to take his body, so that he could absorb it and become completely human (but without a soul of his own Wrath would only be as human as Pride).

Unlike the other Homunculi, Wrath was created directly from the materials of the human that was being transmuted. Because of this, Wrath did not share the weakness of the other Homunculi because the remains of the original body do not exist. But Wrath had other weaknesses: a deep and paralyzing phobia of the sound of a wailing baby and that of the gate itself. The human nature of his arm and leg were also a weakness. Although Wrath was affectionate towards Izumi at first, after meeting Envy, and typical of the other Homunculi, Wrath rejected his creator. He eventually adopted Sloth as his mother, probably as part of a delusion that he could become Edward by taking things that belonged to him.
