Heathcliff Erbe enlisted in the military during the same period as Roy Mustang and Maes Hughes, motivated by a desire to become an officer and fight discrimination from the inside—goals he shared with Major Miles, another Ishvalan soldier in the ranks. His time as a cadet was marked by constant harassment and threats from fellow soldiers who targeted him because of his Ishvalan heritage. Despite these obstacles, he pursued what both he and Miles saw as a path to meaningful change within an institution that needed it.
