Van Hohenheim

Character from Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa

The Elric brothers' immortal father — a living Philosopher's Stone containing half a million souls, wandering for four centuries to undo the sins born from his blood.

Appearance

Tall and broad with golden hair, golden eyes, a full beard, and round glasses. Looks identical to Father — because Father modeled his human form after Hohenheim. Wears a brown trenchcoat and has the worn, sorrowful bearing of a man who has outlived everyone he ever loved.

Also known as: Hohenheim, Van Hohenheim, Slave Number 23, Hohenheim of Light, The Philosopher of the West
