Seraphy Royce

Seraphy is a grown man of roughly average height and build, standing about 175 centimeters and weighing near 70 kilograms according to his character sheet. He is older than his sister Cony. During his campaign of revenge he briefly abandons his human shape altogether, fusing himself into a chimera to press his final attack.

He began as a warm, considerate man who lived by the alchemist's creed of serving the people. Years of leaning on an ability that drained his own memories, combined with the strain of the Ishvalan war and the threat of losing his certification, twisted that character into something aggressive and desperate. Robbed of his standing and worn down, he came to blame the military for his misfortunes and swore to make it pay.

Recognized by the state as the Tuning Alchemist, Seraphy worked in medical alchemy and passed his ideals of service on to his younger sister Corniche, who tried to follow his path. Called up to serve in the Ishvalan conflict, he grew close to a fellow State Alchemist named Aston Martins, but during that period he faced the loss of his certification and was eventually presumed dead. In truth he had slipped away from the war, adopted the alias Lincor, and recruited two cast-off alchemists, Randy Rover and Cate Rham, to help carry out his vengeance.

As Lincor he loosed an army of chimeras to spread panic through East City until a special squad of State Alchemists, his own sister among them, was assigned to stop him. He unleashed a regenerating so-called Ultimate Chimera, which was undone only by the sacrifice of his old friend Martins. Cornered in his castle stronghold, he merged his body with the structure itself, powered not by a Philosopher's Stone but by burning away his own memories, which explained his long slide in personality. Forced to recall the kind man he had once been, he chose to destroy himself, bidding his sister farewell.
