Zolf J. Kimbley
Zolf Kimbley is an alchemist of State, character of the manga Fullmetal alchemist , its code name is the Crimson Alchemist ( the scarlet alchemist ).
Kimbley is an alchemist whose speciality is to create human bombs: by reorganizing the atoms of suffers and of dihydrogene contained in the human body, it induces an explosion in the body even of the person (the resulting scarlet explosion gives him its nickname). Like Edward, Izumi (and later Alphonse), Kimbley has only with claquer hands to carry out a transmutation, but contrary with the trio quoted earlier, it is not owing to the fact that he saw the door, but because he has complementary circles of transmutation, tattooed on his palms of hands, which united create a complete circle (an artifice worthy of the gloves of Mustang). Moreover, Kimbley, in the manga and animates it is a veteran of Ishbal, which was put in prison at the end of the war to have massacred allied officers (however the reason of this slaughter differs in two works). If the design and the capacities of Kimbley are the same ones in animates and the manga, its personality is on the other hand very different from the one with the other.
Animate
Insane and completely disturbed by its capacity to transmute the human ones into alive bombs, the only thing which imports to him is to have fun by hearing the noise of an explosion. For him, an human being is only one heap of atoms, right to explode good, the life does not have more any direction if it scientifically is looked at speaking, this is why it does not have any remorse and does not feel the human life as invaluable (that is also worth for itself).At the end of the war of Ishbal, he works within the army as Alchimiste of State. It is called already the Scarlet Alchemist. He reorganizes the atoms of the human body to make bombs of them (whereas its victims are always alive). He likes so much to explode people whom he does not respect any more the orders and kills women and children. Officers who tried arréter were massacred in their turn it thus were imprisoned at the end of the war for treason and were condemned to dead (but it failed laboratory 5). At the time of the conflict of Ishbal, it is him which destroys the arm of Scar and makes him a cross in full face, its “signature”. Ishbal has a terrible memory and ends of it up being avenged in Lior, of the years later.
The first time that one sees it in animates, Kimbley is in prison. The hair hides its face partly, but one can distinguish his smile as of the first noises of explosions. It must be taken along to the 5th laboratory to be used as ingredient in the philosopher stone. When Greed awakes, it benefits from it to escape with the Homonculus. It forms part of the band then, in company of the dreams. Kimbley betrays the Invincible Shield well quickly as soon as Archer proposes to him to reinstate the army as lieutenant-colonel. He dies shortly after to have made of Alphonse “fantastic” a bomb with delayed-action.
Manga
It does not have for the moment, is the object that of brêves appearances: during the explosion of the laboratory Numéro 5 it is in a cell of the prison of power station where this “quite pretty melody” points out the genocide of Ishbal to him (Volume 4). It reappears then in two flash back of Scar.
When Mustang is put at the current by the State major of the army that President King Bradley is well Homunculus, the highest generals discuss the case of Kimbley then to know if it is able to open the Porte , discussion which concluded quickly that it is unable.
Contrary to the manga, Kimbley is not also disturbed, quite to the contrary, it is relatively posed and enough magnanime, it is not stripped either of a direction of naturally cynical humor. During the war of ishbal, it tried to save the parents of Winry de Scar, but failed, arriving too late. It is combined with Homunculus, but it is especially because it is thirsty for freedom, it does not like to be too much blocked in its actions. It is large a attout for Homunculus, but it also acts as freelance worker, protecting Winry in spite of what have can believe first of all.
Whereas in animates, it is presented like a psychotic, who is to go until killed from the officers combined during the war, the reason of this murder is different in the manga. Indeed, it found very practical the stone fragment philosopher incomplete that one had given to him for military reason. The end of the war approaching, these catalysts not being more necessary, of the officers ordered to him to return this one, to keep it, Kimbley had other choices only to kill them and to hide it by swallowing it.
