Melvin Voyager
CharacterMelvin Voyager is an incidental character in the film Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos. He is a Central Prison inmate and skilled alchemist whose true identity turns out to be a lingering mystery.
Appearance
The man locked away under the name Melvin Voyager is known chiefly through a photograph that soldiers later circulate while hunting him. Because investigators find that the person in that photo does not match the genuine Melvin, his real appearance is never firmly established.
Personality
He is an accomplished alchemist and bold enough to gamble on a jailbreak just two months short of parole. The two-handed alchemy he employs during the escape is a technique the Elric brothers had never encountered before.
History
Sentenced to five years in Central Prison for injury and robbery, the man calling himself Melvin Voyager attempts to break out with only two months left before his release, and in doing so meets Edward and Alphonse for the first time. His unfamiliar two-handed alchemy startles the brothers. After the escape, soldiers including Second Lieutenant Heymans Breda set out to locate him, only to learn from people in his supposed hometown that the individual in Breda's photograph is not the true Melvin Voyager at all, since that man had gone off to find work in Central. The fate of the genuine Melvin is left unexplained.
