Fessler

フェスラー

Brigadier General Fessler was the Amestrian military officer tasked with securing the Kanda region of Ishval during the Ishval Civil War.
A petty and ignorant man, Fessler cared more about boosting his reputation than the lives of his subordinates. Obsessed with clearing his sector before other officers, he made several hasty decisions that cost many soldiers their lives. When Major Alex Louis Armstrong suffered a mental breakdown due to the emotional strain of massacring Ishvalan civilians, Fessler made matters worse by berating him. Even when his errors devastated his own troops, he referred to them as "home runs" as long as the mission objective was achieved. When Colonel Basque Grand escorted Logue Lowe to Fessler, hoping to gain an audience with King Bradley, Fessler stubbornly refused and ordered all his soldiers to return to the fray. At that moment, he was shot point-blank in the chest by Grand's rifle.
Although several witnesses saw the blatant assassination, all soldiers present agreed that Fessler's death was caused by a stray bullet, truly signifying how much they hated him and his methods. Basque Grand succeeded Fessler as commander of Kanda.
