Dietlinde Eckhart

Dietlinde Eckhart (デートリンデ・エッカルト, Dētorinde Ekkaruto?) appears as the primary antagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist movie Conqueror of Shamballa. She is a German-born, soft spoken woman with radical visions for the future of her troubled country.

Background
Little is known about Eckhart's past, making her a rather mysterious character throughout. First introduced as the chairman of the Thule Society by Haushoffer, she is a woman solely driven by her ambitions. Dietlinde seems to have some knowledge of alchemy (which she calls "magic"), and is additionally a staunch believer in a parallel world to her own which she refers to as "Shamballa". Her influential high status within the Thule Society is what eventually brings her to meet Hohenheim of Light, a man who confesses to have great knowledge of alchemy and to be from another world.

In her mind, she believes that harnessing the magical weapons from these far-off lands will be able to help her own, which is in the midst of political upheaval. Her ultimate goal being to help the successful take over of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.

Conqueror of Shamballa
Under Eckhart's command, and Hohenheim's unwilling advice -- now having been kidnapped into service, the Thule Society begins to actively find ways to reach the other side. The first of these becomes the hunt for a powerful dragon from Shamballa which is rumored to be hiding in the country-side. The dragon's magic planned to be used as a catalyst in opening The Gate. After capturing Envy and bringing it back to her headquarters, Dietlinde is able to open The Gate for a brief period long enough to send through a scouting party. Her attempt backfires, however, and the armored scouts are sent back from Shamballa in dead heaps.

In a second attempt, now using Alfons Heiderich's rocket technology and Hohenheim's direct sacrifice, the Thule Society is able to open The Gate long enough to send Eckhart and a fleet of flying rocket ships through. Crossing over, she undergoes a severe physical mutation which now also allows her to fully use the alchemy she had learned on her own world at will. Eckhart also seems to have a complete mental breakdown once she reaches Central City, and is determined to completely eradicate all life in Shamballa. After Edward Elric manages to sneak aboard her ship, the two have a brief confrontation where she confesses she's doing all this because she ultimately fears this power she cannot fully control or understand. Alphonse, using his special alchemy to control suits of armor steps in and helps his brother defeat Eckhart, who is eventually sent back to her world along with her army.

Once back, Dietlinde Eckhart is shown to have made a more severe transformation which makes her completely unrecognizable. She insists she wants to be sent back, to be given another opportunity -- her sanity now completely gone. The parallel German Maes Hughes quickly draws his gun, shooting down the mad woman and killing her on the spot.
