Father is the primary antagonist of Fullmetal Alchemist. He's basically the puppet master behind everything that goes wrong in the series—he commands the other Homunculi and orchestrated major events like the Ishvalian war. His endgame involves a massive transmutation circle that spans the entire country of Amestris, which he's been setting up throughout the whole story.
