A self-proclaimed 'country boy', Havoc is usually rather laid-back and almost never seen without a cigarette in his mouth, but is an honest, loyal and hard-working soldier who leads his own subordinates by example. Although not the most intelligent, Havoc more than makes up for his simplicity with common sense and cleverness - often providing a sarcastic, real-world perspective to counter the over-the-top antics of his comrades - as well as a particularly high combat aptitude.
But the fair-haired son of eastern Amestrian shopkeepers does have a noteworthy weakness: throughout the series Havoc's poor luck keeping a girlfriend plays a recurring theme, as shown when he is forced to leave a new relationship in East City when being transferred to Central with Mustang and when he is spurned by Major Alex Louis Armstrong 's younger sister Catherine Elle Armstrong.
In the anime series, 2nd Lt. Havoc plays little more than a supporting role in the storyline, providing comic relief and backup alongside his comrades Heymans Breda , Vato Falman and Kain Fuery. Notable instances of Havoc's involvement include the point at which he and Master Sergeant Fuery are lightly wounded by ricochet fire while attempting to sneak up on Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric near Resembool and his mission, near the end of the series, to act as a decoy for the Amestrian Military by disguising himself as Mustang during the Colonel's coup in Central City.
In the manga, however, Havoc plays a more significant role in the story, beginning in volume 9 with the Barry the Chopper mission to lure out the Homunculi. In Chapter 34 , while Warrant Officer Falman is charged with standing guard over Barry, Havoc visits their safe house in the slums, bringing additional weapons and provisions for Falman to use.
He mentions to the two that he has finally found a new girlfriend in Central City named "Solaris", but she is revealed to be Lust posing as a human in order to gather information from him regarding Colonel Mustang's activities. Fortunately, Havoc reveals nothing vital or confidential about his work to her.
There was very little to his character aside from his loyalty to Mustang, his constant bad luck in love, his occasional role as comic relief First Impressions When I first became interested in the manga storyline of Fullmetal Alchemist after watching the entire anime series, Havoc seemed to be practically the same character in both versions of the story; a loyal, chain-smoking soldier with incredibly bad luck with women and a rather pessimistic outlook on things.
He seemed overly emotional and slightly gullible at times despite it usually being for the purpose of humour, was self-pitying and tended to blame a fair portion of his bad luck, particularly with women, on his superior officer. On the other hand, he certainly had admirable points; his loyalty to Mustang was strong, he was honest and willing to support what he believed in.
Aside from the goals of his superior that would undoubtedly affect him and his dedication to such a risky ambition, he seemed like a normal sort of guy. It was only then that I felt that his fate was taking a drastic turn for the worst. In the same light, he has the occasional case of severe foot-in-mouth syndrome.
A perfect example of this is the events in Chapters Forty through to Forty-Four, in which he tries to deal with his paraplegia on his own and finally breaks down after Mustang refuses to give up on him and cut him loose; perhaps the reason for him refusing to even really talk about his injury was to try and avoid hurting others, and making them feel as if it was their concern.
He is a follower, not a leader. He is a pessimist, not an optimist. If Ed and Roy are emotional fortresses, Jean is an emotional marshmallow. Despite this, Havoc has many character strengths and a good majority of them actually developed thanks to his weaknesses.
Strengths While Havoc is far from perfect in terms of strengths and weaknesses, it would be fair to say that his strengths far outweigh his weaknesses. His first and foremost strength is his undying loyalty to his friends and to those he respects.
If he meets someone under normal circumstances, he always believes the best in the person; this could be a weakness as well as a strength, because at times he seems almost too trusting in people. His determination is obvious; although he is constantly upset mainly because of his bad luck with women he always manages to crawl back from the problem even if it takes him a while to do it. I mentioned in weaknesses that he was a follower, not a leader; this is also a strength.
Very few people in the world can take such the initiative of a leader like Mustang, but without followers that are willing to listen, and respect, and even die for their superior, leaders have very little power on their own. To be a follower is also a huge undertaking; to dedicate yourself to the ideals of one person, to dedicate yourself to helping them and to trust their every judgment also takes a special sort of person; such loyalty cannot be copied nor forged.
They apparently look up to him a bit, or at least trust him to not get them into any sort of strife with what he says. Jean Havoc. View source. History Talk 0. Do you like this video? Play Sound. But when the two get closer to investigate, Lust regenerates and impales Havoc through the abdomen with two of her bladed fingers, causing him to collapse and fall unconscious from the blood loss.
Roy is able to use fire to sear Havoc's wounds closed and staunch the bleeding and, after Lust is defeated, the two are brought to a hospital. There, Hawkeye and Mustang discuss the current situation, what they have learned from the last mission. Havoc then mentions that they will not be able to count on him in the future, as he cannot feel either of his legs.
Lust's attack in Lab 3 had injured his spinal cord, paralyzing him from the waist down. Havoc begging to Mustang to give up on him. As it is unlikely that Havoc will be able to return to active service with his injury, he decides to accept a discharge from the military and makes plans to live as a civilian, helping out at his parents' general store in the eastern countryside. When Roy - feeling responsible for his friend and comrade's plight - hesitates to let Havoc give up, Jean explodes at him, demanding that the Colonel leave him behind and stressing that there is no time to waste.
Roy begrudgingly complies, but states that he will be forging a path to the top on which he expects Havoc to catch up with him. Havoc continues to work out his upper body from his hospital bed using small weights, despite protestations from his worried mother, and declares that he will strive to catch up to the others.
During Mustang's attack on Central Command Rebecca Catalina and Maria Ross arrive as backup in an armored truck disguised as an ice cream truck that is laden with ammunition and weapons.
