LING YAO SPOILER!
LY
Twelfth prince of Xing, one of many succession candidates for the emperor's throne, arrived in Amestris looking for the Philosopher's Stone to secure his position at home. Cheerful, cunning, perpetually hungry, harder to read than he presents. His friendship with Ed develops with the natural ease of two people who are more similar than either will admit. Brotherhood gives Ling an arc that becomes one of the series' most interesting examinations of identity and coexistence, built around a situation that would destroy most characters and what it says about Ling that it does not destroy him.

Open page →Central Command Gates · Tactical Bradley Victory (Fu & Buccaneer Deaths)
King Bradley single-handedly cut through an Amestrian tank and military infantry to reclaim Central Command, engaging Ling Yao (possessing Greed's Ultimate Shield) and the bodyguard Fu in high-speed swordplay.
The Breakdown
Fu attempted a suicide bombing with dynamite, which Bradley sliced away instantly. Captain Buccaneer and Fu managed to mortally wound Bradley at the cost of their lives, creating the single opening Scar needed later.
