Hohenheim, Van
Seiyuu / Dub
Summary
Van Hohenheim serves as the father of protagonists Edward and Alphonse Elric. A renowned and brilliant alchemist, he abandoned his wife Trisha and their sons when Edward was very young and Alphonse was an infant. Edward continues to harbor deep resentment toward his father, believing that Hohenheim’s departure directly contributed to Trisha’s death. In the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, he is identified as "Van Hohenheim" rather than Hohenheim Elric. As Edward notes in volume 14, the surname Elric belongs to his mother. The narrative distinguishes between the manga and the 2003 anime adaptations, as well as the 2009 anime, though specific plot divergences are not detailed in this excerpt.
