In the Fullmetal Alchemist manga and Brotherhood, Brigadier General Basque Grand, the "Iron-Blooded Alchemist", is a posthumous character and victim of Scar who nevertheless had valiant qualities, such as helping the Ishbalan/Ishvalan representative Logue Lowe reach negotiations unharmed during the War. The version of the character appearing in the 2003 anime, however, is a malignant, power-hungry individual concerned only with status and his own plans.
