Central Researchers

Exclusive to the manga, this enigmatic group was responsible for the cultivation and experimentation of various "Fuhrer Candidates," who were raised from infancy to adulthood, and then injected with Philosopher's Stones. Out of the twelve individuals tested for compatibility, eleven were brutally killed, but the last one survived and became the manga's Wrath, King Bradley. Their first appearance and mention is in Chapter 53. The individual identities of those affiliated with this group are completely unknown, but a significant member among them is one particular man with a gold tooth, who appears both during Wrath's flashback of his inception as a Homunculus and again during the actual timeline in Chapter 67 to help heal Zolf J. Kimbly's wounds at Briggs. According to General Raven, this gold-toothed man is also a bio-alchemical doctor, much like Tim Marcoh. It is unknown whether all these men were also alchemists.
