| “ | There's something comforting facing death like this, wouldn't you agree? It's all that matters, nothing else seems to exist outside my pure instinct to survive. Rank, personal history, birth, race, sex, the name given to you; it's all meaningless, this is the only thing that's real, to fight on behalf of my own life and nothing else. I've never felt so complete, I guess you could say I've finally arrived. | „ |

| “ | I've lived my life by forever following the path that had been set for me. Thanks to the idiosyncrasies of humanity, it was... at least a life worth living for... and maybe even a life worth dying for. | „ |

Wrath (ラース), known by his human alias as King Bradley (キング・ブラッドレイ) is the secondary antagonist of the manga series Fullmetal Alchemist and its 2009 anime adaptation Brotherhood.
He is the dictator and fuhrer-president of the Amestris nation. Although Bradley initially appeared to be an ordinary man, over time it turned out he is one of the Homunculi who assist Father in achieving his goal. He's the arch-enemy of Roy Mustang, Scar, Ling Yao, and Greed.
He was voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata and Hidenobu Kiuchi while young in the Japanese version of the anime, and by the late Ed Blaylock and Christopher Bevins while young in the English version.
His Qualities[]
What Makes Him Entertaining?[]
- He is far less sadistic and misanthropic than his siblings when it comes to humans, showing respect to them and treats them with respect and is also affable to them.
- He is a skilled fighter and has good oration skills, as he manages to put up a charming facade, which makes people love him and he manages to pin down enemies like Roy Mustang and Scar.
- He is somewhat a tragic and sympathetic character in a way, as he was injected with the Philosophers Stone, which caused him tremendous pain and he truly loved his wife as she was the only thing he could choose on his own, with also his own death being played for sympathy as well.
- Ed Blaylock does a very good performance of him, giving him a charismatic facade that hides his tyrannical and oppressive true nature.
What Makes Him Detestable?[]
- He is a tyrannical and misanthropic dictator who is responsible for most of his countries problems.
- Started the Ishvalian War, which almost wiped out the entire race, which led to Scar’s fall to villainy.
- He was helping Father in his Transmutation Circle and was willing to sacrifice his whole country to get him to finish it and caused Roy Mustang to lose his sight and become blind.
