Solf J. Kimblee

Solf J. Kimblee was the founder and chief executive officer of Advanced Idea Alchemy. When Edward Elric refused to join him in his research, Kimblee participated in the development of Elixir thereby amassing a group of Elixir-enhanced soldiers under his command. To mask his illegal activities as a terrorist attacks he created the idealized terrorist persona known as the "Explosion Alchemist" portrayed by the Ice Alchemist Isaac McDougal to serve as his proxy, unaware that the Explosion Alchemist truly existed. He also conspired with Vice President of Amestria in an attempt to take control over both sides of the War on Terror, thus manipulating them for his own profit. However, upon kidnapping both Winry Rockbell and the President, Kimblee was confronted by Edward Elric who stopped his plans with the assistance of the Fullmetal Legion and Winry.

Abilities
Kimblee's unique type of alchemy involves orchestrating explosions and is centered around the transmutation arrays tattooed on his palms. On each hand is a triangle inscribed in a circle with alchemical symbols in the center of each - the sun symbol (signifying gold) on his right palm and the moon symbol (signifying silver) on his left. When he puts his palms together the two triangles (the left pointing up to represent fire and the right pointing down to represent water) combine to form a hexagram which initiates the transmutation. Transcribed around both circles is a ring of unidentified text.
