Character Bios: Dietlinde Eckart

The villain of the film Conqueror of Shambala, she occupies an important position as an occultist in the Thule Society. After obtaining information regarding alchemy and the other world from Hohenheim and Envy, Dietlinde, with the help of other colaborators, intended to open a Gate to that world. While she worked with the Nazis presumably to help them overthrow the government during the Beer Hall Putsch of November 9, 1923, her real motive was to reach a place where her occult powers would become real. Using Envy and Hohenheim, she first sent an army of armored warrior through a gate to Liore. The warriors were defeated by Alphonse and then were summoned back through the gate by Edward's actions on the other side. The round trip through the gate killed all of the armored warriors. Her second attempt at opening the gate was assisted unintentionally by Alphonse opening a similar gate on the other side at the same time. This persistent gateway below Central was opened in part by the deaths of Hohenheim, Envy, Wrath and Gluttony. Her army was defeated by the Elric Brothers, the State Alchemists and the army in Central. On returning through the gate, she underwent a physical transformation probably related to contact with the creatures residing inside. Wishing to return to "Shambala" she advances threateningly on Noah, and is summarily shot by our world's Hughes. Upon her death she reverted back to her human form. She apparently was related to Dietrich Eckart, who was a key member of the Thule Society.
