Vato Falman

Vato Falman (ヴァトー・ファルマン ,Vatō Faruman?) is one of Roy Mustang's most trusted subordinates. He was recruited by Mustang for his innate ability to remember almost every detail, allowing him to act as a sort of recording device that does not leave any physical evidence. Because his intellect is his area of expertise, he does not have much experience in the field, causing him to make rookie mistakes when in a combat situation. He is overly formal, causing some of his comrades to wish he would lighten up. Falman does not play a large role in the anime, only being another of Mustang's subordinates.[7] In the manga, Mustang tasks him with "babysitting" Barry the Chopper to keep him out of the public eye and from killing civilians for fun. Later, Falman is transferred to Northern Headquarters when Mustang's group is broken up by the homunculi. He is subsequently transferred again, this time to Briggs' Fortress where he is given what amounts to janitorial duties. There he reunites with the Elric brothers, and helps them and Briggs' forces plan against the homunculi.[77] He is voiced by Takehiro Murozono in Japanese, and by Kyle Hebert in English.[83][84] In the new series, he is voiced by Kenji Hamada.
