Hoenheim Elric

Hoenheim Elric was an inventor, engineer, movie director, businessman, alchemist and founder of Elric Industries. During the Hyland/Rolance War he worked on various government projects, including the Magical Missile Project and Project Shepard, and helped the Kingdom of Hyland fight against the CCG. He constructed the cloak for Shepard Sorey, and after the war he located a Dragon Ball, which had been lost in the ocean.

A year after the end of the war, Hoenheim was framed for distributing weapons to enemies of Hyland. He put his friend Princess Alishia Diphda in charge of the effort of finding proof of his innocence. Eventually his name was cleared when it was proved that Johann Fennhoff was framing Elric in an attempt to gain revenge for the Battle of Finow. He later founded Elric Pictures while assisting Alishia's research and understanding Zero Matter.

Later in life, Hoenheim married a woman and had two sons, Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric. He also co-developed the plans for the Philosophers Stone with defected Ishvalan alchemist (who was Scar's brother). Elric was also one of the founding members of M.O.N. where he worked with Joseph Joestar. Eventually, Elric would push his sons away, but did care for Edward and had high hopes that he would change the world. When he became a threat to the CCG, having managed to either create or obtain the Shepard Serum, Elric and his wife were assassinated by his former ally Mikleo, better known as Winter Seraph.

Abilities
As a Human Philosopher's Stone, Hohenheim's body is capable of the same level of miraculous regeneration as those of the Homunculi and as such, he has been rendered incapable of naturally dying or even aging - having been preserved in the prime of life and health for years. With loads of life experience and alchemical study accumulated, Hohenheim's level of alchemical knowledge easily dwarfs that of any other human alchemist in the history of the world before him. Hohenheim is not only capable of performing transmutations without the use of a Transmutation Circle, but can also transmute without moving his body at all and can even perform biological transmutations and circumvent the law of Equivalent Exchange with ease. Additionally, Hohenheim's alchemy is extremely versatile and can be implemented in multiple locations at once even without his own will to actively guide it, so long as he has deposited some of his soul there.
