The third of Father's homunculi to be created, Greed was meant to purify Father of his namesake nearly 200 years ago. Realizing that Father achieving his goal would rob him of the desires he was created to seek, he defected 100 years ago, creating a complex criminal underworld to Amestris. Hiding out in Dublith alongside his chimera underlings, his attempt to find the secrets of Alphonse Elric's apparent immortality ultimately drew the attention of Central Command, bringing King Bradley himself to the scene to bring him back to Father, where he was purified and reabsorbed.
After Lust's death, Father deigned to create another underling. Having captured Ling Yao moments prior, the man quickly accepted the stone, having come to Amestris to find immortality for the glory of his clan, becoming the second human homunculus after Wrath. While Greed remained primarily in control, Ling was able to remain an individual inside Greed's Philosopher's Stone, occasionally taking control of their shared body when needed. During the revolution, as Father's power waned, he attacked Greed, extracting his Philosopher's Stone, though Greed used his last moments to thank his friends, the one thing he truly sought, and to convert Father's body to graphite, sealing his ultimate enemy's defeat. Greed Ling can not use Regeneration, but he gains a +1 bonus to Dexterity and Wisdom checks and saving throws, his passive perception and AC, and the following action: Dao. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage. |
