![]() ![]() Hughes hesitates, and Envy uses that opportunity to fatally shoot him. However, Envy recovers and transforms into Hughes' wife Gracia. Hughes then notices that the fake Ross is missing a mole under her left eye and slices Envy's throat with a knife. As Mustang is on a train to Central, Hughes is not able to contact him. In the anime, he flees the building with Envy, disguised as Maria Ross, to contact Mustang from a public telephone booth, not trusting the military line. His reason behind calling Roy directly was to give him information that "could send him to the top." (Episode 25). He was killed by Envy before he could relay his suspicions to Mustang. Hughes, while investigating the 5th Laboratory incident and the mysterious deaths of the officers involved with its experiments, found there was much to suspect about the F��hrer's secretary, Juliet Douglas. After receiving his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, Hughes was placed in charge of the Investigations Division. Hughes was assigned to the Investigations Division in Central, and because of this was more involved with police work than he was in actual battles. Both he and his wife Gracia continue to be kind towards the brothers, as well as to their friend Winry. In the anime, he invites them to his home to celebrate Edward's birthday, one of the few moments of domestic bliss enjoyed by the Elric Brothers. ![]() Hughes is especially kind to the Elric Brothers. He was also very supportive of Mustang's plan to become F��hrer, doing whatever he can to, as he put it, to "work below him and help push him to the top." Another common gag involved Hughes calling Mustang to either gloat about his daughter or advise Roy to get a wife, promptly causing Roy to slam the phone down in anger. He comically shoved pictures of Elysia into other people's faces to their annoyance - but it was clear that his goofy behavior was usually a cover for the serious and depressing nature of his work. Hughes is very devoted to his wife, Gracia, and absolutely besotted with his little daughter Elysia. ![]() In the manga, Hughes was not present on the train when General Hakuro was held hostage. Hughes and Edward work together to help recapture a passenger train that had been hijacked by a rebel named Bald (Episode 5). At the time of his introduction in the anime, Hughes held the rank of Major, and first met the Elrics while serving as a communications officer for General Hakuro. Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes was a member of the Investigations Division and was good friends with Colonel Mustang. ![]()
