Dolcetto

Dorchet is one of the human chimera's associated with Greed's gang out of Devil's Nest. He is a short, fast man who is quite proficient with a katana and has had his genetic material alchemically combined with that of a dog. As such, he has a heightened sense of smell and claims to have inherited a dog's high level of loyalty. Dorchet used to be an Amestrian soldier, but, after being injured on the battlefield, was carted away to a lab for human study. Though he acknowledges that what happened to him was tragic, he remains optimistic, saying that he is at least grateful to be alive.

In the manga
In the manga, Dorchet first appears in chapter 26 when he, Roa and Martel are ordered by Greed to kidnap Alphonse Elric in order to discover the secrets to the boy's armor body. He proves himself to be a decent swordsman and wise enough to know when and when not to use lethal force, but ends up being defeated several times during his appearance by Al, Izumi and Ed in turn with relative ease. As such, he seems to have a bit of a complex regarding his strength, responding angrily to being teased by the others.

After Greed orders Roa to escape with Alphonse, Dorchet is the first to sense the presence of King Bradley's regiment of soldiers by scent. He participates in the counter-offensive, cutting down military gunmen as they enter the bar's lower levels. When Major Armstrong enters the battle, Dorchet recognizes that they are outmatched and calls for a retreat. Unfortunately, he is stabbed in the back by Bradley himself. He later proves to have survived the attack and heads off to where Greed and Bradley are fighting, lamenting his dog-like loyalty. He cuts Alphonse's chains and asks him to escape to safety with Martel and then engages Bradley in battle alongside Roa. Dorchet is killed fighting the Führer.

2003 anime
In the 2003 anime series, Dorchet makes his first appearance as one of the test subjects released from Laboratory 5 when the facility begins to crumble. He joins up with Greed and the others to escape. He is part of the mission to kidnap Al and is one of the three human survivors of Devil's Nest to escape after the military intervention under Frank Archer's command. But when Lust and Gluttony arrive at Greed's forest safehouse, Dorchet and Roa attempt to fight them so that Greed, Martel and Al can escape to safety. Dorchet and Roa are killed and presumably eaten by Gluttony.

In the Conqueror of Shambala movie, Dorchet is seen as one of the scientists who works alongside Alfons Heiderich.
