Roy Mustang comes off as a rather shallow character. His goal to become Fuhrer seems to start out as a need to change the women's military uniform to include a miniskirt. He's a state alchemist who controls the element fire using his pyrotex gloves that have an alchemic array on the back. He seems to be a source of constant annoyance for Edward Elric, he makes comments about Ed's height and seems to be a rival.

Once you delve beneath the surface though, you hit a whole different story. He participated in the Ishbal Massacre and it wrought havoc on his young mind. Horrified with his actions he became suicidal. After shooting Winry's parents, he turned the gun onto himself. Marco came by at that time, as he was trying to escape, due to what cruelties he had done during his military times, and tells Roy Mustang not to commit suicide, but instead to focus his desires to getting to a position where he doesn't have to take orders, and then runs away. Hughes knows of this and his vow is to assist Roy in getting to that position, no matter what it takes.

Roy Mustang is also known as the Flame Alchemist. He's a heart throb to many ladies, and he knows it, although Maes Hughes is always telling him to get a wife. His main goal is to become Fuhrer and make all the girls in the military wear tiny miniskirts.

He's very sarcastic, especially around Ed, whom he constantly teases... probably because he's jealous. Roy loves dogs, primarily because "you can treat them crueley and they will not complain", "they don't ask for a raise in their paychecks", and "they are servants to humans". He does his flame alchemy by wearing a glove made of special material that makes a spark when he snaps his fingers and then uses alchemy to make the actual flame.

At the snap of his gloved fingers, colonel Roy Mustang can whip up a shower of flame powerful enough to bring even the most naturally gifted alchemist. Of course, if his hands are wet then he can't produce flames.

He became colonel due to his achievements in the eastern Ishbalan war. He tries his hardest to live up to his rank and being a state alchemist. He is also the one that recruited Ed. The gloves are made of a fiber that has an transmute circle sewn into it.

Roy is a bit of a pervert... one of his dreams is to become fuhrer so he can make all female officers wear mini skirts.

Roy Mustang, like most characters from the 'Full Metal Alchemist' series, is a tragic character. He was one of the soldiers who was involved in the Ishballain massacre, and it causes a great conflict in him as he tries to find his way to the top. Roy Mustang wants to rise to the rank of Fuhrer, or at the least, have some say in what State Alchemists are involved in. He holds a close friendship with Maes Hughes (who is eventually killed by a homunculi).

Roy also has his...other traits. He has deep concern for the two brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric and oddly a like for puppies.
