![]() It would later serve as a massive transmutation circle for Father's plan on the Promised Day (as the anime showed), and it doubled as Pride's bonus container. Pride, in particular, could not only stay hidden in his Selim Bradley form in some remote mountain lair (as well as the lair under Central), but he could also live in the giant, circular tunnel that Sloth was busy digging around the entire border of Amestris. In addition, the homunculi don't need to eat or have steady employment, so they can stay hidden in remote (and possibly underground) bunkers and lairs over the years, patiently biding their time. With the exception of Greed, all of the homunculi were deeply loyal to Father and had no reason to sell him out for fame, power or money. Father could afford to have his plans or his minions discovered, but fortunately for him, hiding them from the world at large would have proved fairly easy. If he was revealed for what he truly was, then the people of Amestris would have tried to trace Pride back to Father, and possibly realized what Father was trying to do. A 300-year wait is no big deal.Įven if Pride was patient enough to wait 300 years and watch Father's plan unfold bit by bit, he still needed to lay low. Boredom, impulse and impatience are the weaknesses of mortal humans, Pride would say. It is unlikely that Pride grew bored or impatient during this time instead, he probably enjoyed outliving all those "pitiful" humans, and took pride in how long he could bide his time for his father to complete his quest. Over the years, many slaughters, civil wars and battles occurred at key points across the growing nation of Amestris, and Pride must have watched it all smugly as the short-lived humans slaughtered each other without even realizing that they were fueling Father's grand plan. He is prideful, so why wouldn't he love his own appearance and cling to it? He must also have love the name Selim Bradley, wearing it like a badge of honor.įather's plan required many decades of work, including the creation of his enormous transmutation circle/tunnel in the earth and the sacrificed blood of thousands of people. ![]() Unlike King Bradley/Wrath, Pride had the same form for a long time, and it is possible that he always looked the way he did in the main story. Wrath is embodied in a weak Philosopher's Stone made up of just one human soul, able to be transplanted into living humans to gain a physical form. Instead, Father continued to create his seven "children" over time, and Wrath was the youngest. Within years of the fall of Xerxes, Father cast off his sinful pride and created the homunculus of the same name, but Father and his new "child" were in no position to suddenly wage war on humanity and ascend to godhood. ![]() Most likely, Pride simply chose to lay low and bide his time along with Father for a long time, choosing not to draw unnecessary attention to himself.
