Scar's Master

A holy man from Ishval who serves as Scar's mentor. The two were separated when Kimblee attacked the refugee group they belonged to. After learning of his student's "crusade" against State Alchemists, he advises him on the teachings of Ishvala. In the anime, he states, "Even in the darkest of suffering, a man can sleep. But for the man who inflicts the suffering, his mind cannot rest. Ever." In the manga, he explains that "Revenge only grows seeds of revenge," a sentiment Scar largely ignored until he encountered Winry pointing a gun at him, seeking revenge for her parents' deaths, for which Scar was responsible. He later speaks on behalf of the Ishvalans at a refugee camp when Mustang and his men arrive in search of Scar. Scar's master was one of the few survivors of the covert operation involving Martel, which triggered the Ishval massacre. He is never mentioned by name in the anime. He also appears in the manga, seen in Chapter 58 and in a flashback in Chapter 72, where he states that although they may (and should) not forgive the damage Amestris has done to Ishval, they must not surrender to hatred; rather, they should endure it to sever the bonds of hatred, as they are human beings.
