Central Researchers

Exclusive to the manga, this enigmatic group worked under the Gold-Toothed Doctor and were 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 original storyline'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, save for the Gold-Toothed Docter, 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 Solf J. Kimblee'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 his subordinates were also alchemists.
