Horrified by what he had helped to do, Hohenheim fled in the desert and was brought by travelers to the empire of Xing. The more souls are sacrificed, the bigger and more powerful the stone will be.) (In the Fullmetal Alchemist universe creating a Philosopher's Stone requires to sacrifice human souls. When the King activated the ritual, little did he know that it was, in fact, Hohenheim, carrying the Homunculus' flask, who was located at the center of the transmutation circle? The ritual killed the more than 1 000 000 inhabitants of the country, whose souls were absorbed into Hohenheim's and the Homunculus' bodies, turning them into living Philosopher's Stones and granting them immense alchemic powers. In fact, the Homunculus had no intention of making the King immortal and the friendliness and helpfulness he had displayed until now was just a facade to enact his own agenda. Homunculus reveals his true colors to Hohenheim. Upon the Homunculus' advice, the King ordered his soldiers to dig a gigantic alchemic transmutation circle all around the country, and later sent them disguised as bandits to slaughter the population of several villages located at certain points of the circle, (following the circle's pentagram-like pattern) as the slaughters were necessary to activate the alchemic ritual to create a gigantic Philosopher's Stone, which would make the King Immortal. The elderly king of Xerxes eventually heard of the Homunculus' vast knowledge and had it brought before him to learn the secret of immortality. Over the years, Hohenheim perfected his mastery of Alchemy, still under the tutelage of the Homunculus with whom he had long conversations about their respective goals and ideals.
Hohenheim's newfound knowledge caught his master's attention, and he was appointed as his personal assistant. The Homunculus offered to name the slave Van Hohenheim, (he initially offered Theophrastus Bombastus Van Hohenheim, but the slave refused as it would be too long to remember) and taught him reading, writing and mathematics, as well as basic Alchemy. This makes him the young slave's "son" of some sort (or offspring at the very least).
He was born directly from the Truth, the source of all the alchemic power and knowledge of the universe, and was created in the highly developed kingdom of Xerxes, mostly from the blood of one of his creator's slaves, a young man called "number 23". He was created around 400 years before the start of the events, during the fifteenth century of the Fullmetal Alchemist world. 2.1 The Faceless Leader of the Homunculiįather's original aspect, when he was called "Homunculus".įather was the first homunculus ever created, or at least the first that history remembers.
