scars master

Scar's mentor from Ishval, a holy man. The two were separated when Kimblee attacked the group of refugees they were part of. Upon learning about his student's "crusade" against State Alchemists, he advises him according to the teachings of Ishvala. In the anime, he says, "Even in the darkest suffering, a man can sleep. But for the man who inflicts the suffering, his mind cannot rest. Ever." In the manga, he explains, "Revenge only grows seeds of revenge," which Scar initially dismisses until he encounters Winry pointing a gun at him, seeking revenge for her parents' deaths, which Scar caused. He later represents the Ishvalans at a refugee camp when Mustang and his men arrive looking for Scar. Scar's master was one of the few survivors of the covert operation that Martel participated in, which led to the Ishval massacre. His name is never mentioned in the anime. He also appears in the manga, seen in Chapter 58 and in Chapter 72 during a flashback, where he states that although they may (and should) not forgive the damage Amestris has done to Ishval, they must not surrender to hatred; instead, they should endure it to break the cycle of hatred since they are human beings.
