KING BRADLEY SPOILER!

King Bradley
KB

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood · Antagonist

Fuhrer of Amestris. Commands with absolute authority, fights with a sword and a dagger and an eye that tracks everything simultaneously. Brotherhood's Bradley is Wrath rather than Pride, and the distinction is everything: he was human once, underwent a process that killed every other candidate, and survived it. He has lived as a human long enough to have genuine human feelings. He chose his wife himself. The question the show poses through him is whether that history makes him more human than the other homunculi or whether it makes what he is worse. His arc in the Promised Day sequence is the series' most conflicted and most honest.

The Breakdown
Scar revealed he had tattooed his brother's Reconstruction alchemy array onto his left arm in addition to Destruction on his right. Mid-strike, sunlight blinded Bradley's wounded eye, allowing Scar to activate Reconstruction to transmute spike pillars directly through Bradley's arms, fatally disarming him.
