Solf J. Kimblee is an ex-war criminal and a veteran of the Ishbal War. His alchemy title refers to his use of sulfur in the human body to create explosive fluids, turning people into living bombs.

His personality seems almost split in two; at times he can be polite, if curt, straightforward, rational, and "civilized." However, in battle he displays an uncanny and foreboding demeanor in favor of destruction and damnation. Kimblee's powers appear to be much the same as those in the Anime, except that he can transmute and detonate from a distance as well, using the ground as a connecting force, causing huge explosions (though probably it is because his force is imbued with Philosopher's Stone).
