Fullmetal Alchemist Anime Info

Character Bios: Russel Tringum

The older son of alchemist Nash Tringum, who is said to have discovered the red water and did extensive research on it in Central City before he saw the nightmarish side effects. Hearing that his father was last heard of in Xenotime, he and his younger brother Fletcher went there and posed as the Elric Brothers so that Russell would be able to continue researching Red Water, to fulfill their father's dream. After learning the truth, Russell helped stop Mugwar and decided to stay in Xenotime and use his alchemy to help the Xenotime residents. Sony's Aniplex anime DVDs spell his family name as Tringum, although Sony's Aniplex website spells his name as Tlingum. A common unofficial translation has his family name as Tringham.

In "Goodbye," Russell brought Fletcher to Central, once again impersonating Ed. They had discovered the existence of the Underground City in their father's notes, and had tried to get the information to the Elrics, when they were arrested by MP's and, on Pride's order, were scheduled to be executed. They escaped however, with the aid of Lt. Ross and Sgt. Bloch, and got the notes to Ed and Izumi, before the meeting was interrupted by Archer.
