Originally known as The Dwarf in the flask Homunculus, Father is the creator of the homunculi in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga & Brotherhood, as well as it's main antagonist.
Days in the Flask[]
Father was created in Xerxes through the Hohenheim's blood back when he was the nameless slave #23. He became best friends with the young slave after giving him his name. He then educated Hohenheim, allowing the slave to earn his freedom, saying that being a slave was no different from being trapped in a flask. The King of Xerxes ordered The Dwarf in the Flask to tell him how he could become immortal, & Homunculus tricked the old man into making him & Hohenheim immortal instead.
Gaining The Power That is God[]
On the Promised Day he used the power of the 5 sacrifices to open Earth's gateway during an eclipse. By doing this Father dragged the Truth down into him & transformed into his God Form. After Losing the Amestrian souls he began struggling to control this form & was killed by Edward Elric after Greed (who was absorbed by father) transformed his body into the weakest type of carbon.
