Maes Hughes

Hughes has green eyes, black hair, usually slicked back with a carelessly sticking strand in front. He wears rectangular glasses and has a small shield on his face. In a military unit, he wears a military uniform like everyone else, and in everyday life he wears jeans and a black turtleneck.

If you turned to a handsome male officer with a request, and he kindly gave it to you, but after that (or in the process) began to talk maniacally about his family or dragged you to buy gifts for your daughter with him, do not doubt - this is exactly the same chatty Maes Hughes with stubble, unquenchable optimism and a huge reserve photos of both his wife and daughter. Be careful: a short acquaintance can turn into a mandatory visit to a family holiday and an overnight stay, or constant calls to your phone with stories about what sweet Alicia did during the day.Maes is a walking optimist. Hughes likes to babble about how he has a lot of work to do, and he himself visits the sick and wounded in hospitals. He is a perfect kind man, always comes to the rescue, no matter what it is — the need for a simple overnight stay or the search for the necessary information in the tribunal. He also never accepts refusals, often even, according to Elric, abducting gifted people who “successfully” came to hand to help with the work of the central headquarters (this was the case with Ceska) or those in need of a roof over their heads. Well, do I need to remind you about his obsessive love for his wife Gracia and daughter Elicia? Whenever it was, he always has a couple (or even three ... dozens) of photos of his beloved women with him, and he does not fail to show them off to his friends (especially Roy and that telephone operator from headquarters). The reason for his behavior is very simple: unlike his friend Roy, Hughes is engaged in expertise. He constantly has to see decomposed corpses, cut or exploded bodies of victims. Of course, with such a job, you can easily go crazy! Therefore, Hughes constantly switches to photos of his daughter and wife - they are his anchors, which restore Maes' state of mind. A man takes care of his subordinates, trying to distract them from the grim reality with his photos.

Also Hughes strongly recommends Roy to get married, hinting that only the family will keep the Mustang from drastic actions.
And if you evaluate his character as a soldier, then Maes is a serious, intelligent and loyal officer, you can safely trust him and not be afraid that he will spill your secrets. However, trusting him with secrets threatens that he himself will begin to interfere in your affairs with a great desire to help, and not every time this initiative comes out successful. Once, it's definitely not at all.

Hughes, in addition to his ability to accurately and accurately find the necessary information for Roy, is also aware of the latest rumors, is proficient in stabbing knives and, as a result of training at the Military Academy (and participation in the Ishwar War), firearms.
