He is very old, though his exact age is unknown. His ability is to change his appearance into other people. He can mimic their voices as well. For an unknown reason he despises Edward because the blood of his dreaded enemy courses through his veins. His true form looks alot like Hoenheim, his creator. Envy's tattoo of Oruboros is on his upper leg.(anime)His true form consists of the souls and decayed bodies of all of an ancient city, because they were sacrificed to make his stone.(manga) On a seperate note, we used 'he', Envy is not a 'he'...an it. He is an it, because he can change his appearance, thus, also his sex. His prefered form is male, however.

Pride
He is in truth King Bradley of the military. He was created by Dante specifically to infiltrate and control the military so that Dante could be the puppetmaster behind all the military actions.

Sloth was created from the Elrics failed transmutation in the beginning of the series. She has the tattoo of Oruboros underneath her left shoulder.

Greed

He was created by Dante. His power is to change his body into an impenetrable material formed from the carbon in his body, most likely diamond. His alias is the strongest shield because of this. Apparently he does not want to become human. After Edward pierces his heart with his auto mail Greed reveals that the weakness homunculus have is that they become mortal when near the bones of their respective creator or of the people they were supposed to become. He dies shortly afterwards. His tattoo of Oruboros is on his hand. (anime)Same thing as anime, but he wasent created by Dante, and he died by 'Father' instead of getting killed.
