Greed, as his name suggests and by his own claim is a very greedy individual. His Ouroboros tattoo was located on the top of his left hand. Greed originally wore a pair of small, rounded sunglasses when in public, however these were broken when the homunculus demonstrated his regenerative qualities to Alphonse.
