LeCoulte, Dominic

ドミニク・レコルト

An elderly, reclusive automail master. His lifelong dream was to construct automail with concealed cannons, and he had the chance to do exactly that with Paninya's automail legs. Winry begs him to accept her as his apprentice, but he refers her to Garfiel instead, even though Winry helped deliver his grandson.
It is noteworthy that when he discovered Winry was Pinako Rockbell's granddaughter, he reacted strongly, as he apparently holds memories regarding the "Pantheress of Resembool" that he would rather forget ("Leopardess of Resembool" in the dubbed anime).
In the anime, no mention is made of any desire to build hidden cannons, though he did install one in Paninya's right leg. He refuses to sell an automail arm to a young rich man because it is an arm for a fighter, and the young man does not really need it. At the end of the series, he is seen helping Winry train to become an even better mechanic.
