Henry Douglas

Colonel Henry Douglas is an officer at the Military Police headquarters in Central City and the man ordered to arrest 2nd Lt. Maria Ross for the murder of Brigadier General Maes Hughes. Douglas reappears after Colonel Roy Mustang apparently burns Ross to an ashy skeleton, admonishing the Flame Alchemist for letting personal issues take him to such an extreme and stating that, thanks to the excessive damage, the identity of the corpse cannot be confirmed. He reappears in Chapter 35 when Roy and Lt. Hawkeye attempt to confuse the Military Police as to Scar's whereabouts so as to help Edward and Alphonse Elric lure out the Homunculi. In Chapter 98, Douglas leads a platoon of Central troops to the gates of Central Command in order to provide backup to Führer King Bradley in his solo battle against Briggs troops and the Homunculus Greed. However, before Douglas' squad can make any headway, the Colonel himself is knocked out by a blow to the back of the head from Fu. In the 2009 anime's adaptation of this event (Episode 56), the troops attempting to retake the main gate are instead led by an officer named Gamelan.
