King Bradley Candidates
CharacterThe King Bradley candidates were the men groomed to be transformed into the Homunculus Wrath and installed as Amestris' Führer. After repeated failures to produce a viable Wrath, only one of them endured the process, becoming King Bradley.
Personality
What defined the candidates was absolute loyalty to the Gold-Toothed Doctor, the man who raised them. That devotion to their handler shaped how they were used, obedient to the project that shaped them.
Abilities
Every candidate was pushed to superhuman levels and trained in swordsmanship along the same lines as Bradley himself. For all that conditioning, none quite matched him, remaining a step below the eventual Führer in overall capability.
