As this is the one object that can weaken him, he near-mindlessly strangles Selim, announcing his hatred for him as well.īradley arrogantly believes that his enhanced abilities will always bring him victory. This was until he realizes that Selim had unwittingly brought the skull of his original human body to the basement. In the final battle at the Fuhrer's mansion, Mustang points out the dichotomy in this ideology when he witnesses his affectionate behavior towards his son Selim.
This is just a deceptive façade, though, as he secretly harbors a deep contempt for humanity (much like his master). Like his manga counterpart Pride is a gifted actor, playing an ongoing charade as both the benevolent, charming family man and a respectable city leader in public. He also appears to possess a rather cruel streak not shared by his Wrath counterpart, playing a sadistic game of cat-and-mouse with Mustang before attempting to kill him. True to his name, Pride is secretly very narcissistic, considering most other beings beneath him with the exception of Dante and possibly the Homunculi who remain loyal to her. He's shown to lack any sense of respect for humankind in general, and is willing to kill as much of them as possible.
Despite his guise as the popular King Bradley, he does not have any of the redeemable characteristics that his Wrath manga counterpart possesses at an internal level. It's well established he's very secretive (something he reveals innocuously to his son), highly manipulative, confident, and is utterly driven in accomplishing key desires in his case, producing a Philosopher's Stone for Dante to utilize. However, unlike most of his Homunculi partners, Pride's motives and personal goals are largely kept a mystery. He is a largely composed and stoic figure much of the time and appears to be indebted to his master for giving him and his brethren life. He was shown (to an extent) to have a tremendous amount of agility/speed, such as his fight with Martel and Roy Mustang, and can use it to close in on his enemies in the blink of an eye.Ĭalm, collected, patient, and extremely intelligent, Pride is considered by Dante as being "her greatest masterpiece", due to him being able to age and function like a normal human being. This regenerative ability was demonstrated to its fullest degree when allowing "his entire body to explode" whilst battling Roy Mustang. Unlike his manga counterpart, Wrath, Pride has retained the ability to regenerate any wound. The ultimate form of vision, which is accompanied by his extraordinary swordsmanship, as well as the unique ability to age. Pride has been gifted with two abilities, unlike his brethren.
