Fox
CharacterBrigadier General Fox ranks among Central Command's senior officers and among its most corrupt. Aware of the homunculi's scheme, he trades the lives of ordinary Amestrians for a promised shot at immortality, an ambition that ends violently on the Promised Day.
Appearance
Fox is a high-ranking military man of Amestris whose looks the story barely dwells on. What little is noted concerns his hair, whose color and styling call to mind that of the swindler Yoki.
Personality
Fox embodies the rot festering at the top of Central Command. He knows of the conspiracy driven by Father and the homunculi, and he feels no hesitation about feeding his own countrymen into it if doing so buys him eternal life. Beneath that ambition runs a streak of cowardly cunning, which shows itself the moment the fighting finally reaches him.
History
As one of the more powerful figures in the state military, Fox holds a privileged seat within Central Command and shares in its secret alliance with the homunculi. When the Promised Day comes and the Briggs troops launch their assault on Central City, he tries to force General Armstrong to give up her plans, leveling a gun at her. She answers by running her sword through his wrist and taking him prisoner, later driving the blade into his foot to keep him compliant. Even as a hostage he manages to order his men to seal every entrance to the central command center. His usefulness runs out soon after, when Sloth bursts up through the floor and kills him.
