It takes a while for him to get over this and realize he was creating a Cycle of Revenge. The problem with this is that he doesn't care or make a distinction between those who actually were part of the Ishvalan Civil War and those who were not, so he tries to kill Edward because Edward is a State Alchemist, even though Ed was only a child during the conflict and had literally no part in the war. He believes every single State Alchemist is evil regardless of their motives or history, and sees it as a god given duty to hunt them down. Black-and-White Insanity: His Fatal Flaw during the first half of the series.Possibly justified with his training to be a warrior monk while his brother became a scholar. Big Little Brother: He is way bigger and stronger than his older brother was.It's also telling that Scar was only able to deconstruct Jerso's saliva to escape after Ed mentioned that it was mostly water. Ed almost got killed in his first fight with Scar by trying to fight him hand-to-hand in his next fight, he stressed his alchemy more and had Scar locked down. However, because of his history as one of Ishval's more conservative priests, he is (by choice) unfamiliar with the rest of the setting's combat tools and is quite unimaginative in a fight unless someone gives him some ideas. The Big Guy: Scar's an extremely effective martial artist with considerable durability and the strength to take down anyone hand to hand.Up until that point, he only used his abilities to destroy things and so remained technically within the bounds of his code against it. Batman Grabs a Gun: During his showdown with King Bradley near the end of the series, he breaks his code as an Ishvalan and uses Alchemy to reconstruct matter, thus regaining the upper hand.Later upgraded this status with his added Face Palm Of Doom. Bare-Fisted Monk: Literally, as he was an Ishvalan warrior monk.Badass Transplant: He has his brother's arm, tattooed with alchemical markings that allow him to destroy anything with a touch.He even killed Bradley, a guy who went 1-0 with a tank. The guy killed about 20 State Alchemists before the start of the series and was able to effortlessly defeat Ed and Al. Badass Preacher: A former warrior-priest.Badass Boast: "Your only solace from my wrath will be damnation!".Badass and Child Duo: The Badass (mysterious, powerful grown man) to May's Child (perky preteen princess), although May herself is no slouch in combat.Back-to-Back Badasses: With Al when escaping Father's lair.He just wanted revenge on those who have killed his people. Anti-Hero: Eventually switches sides after the Homunculi start moving openly, but stays gruff and closed-off.Given that Ed was too young to possibly participate in the Ishvalan massacre and Scar attacked him and Al anyway, it may explain his point of view. A chagrined Ed believes that Scar just likes attacking people because he's a bully that is masking his pain. Roy says he's a genocide survivor with a good reason to avenge his people.
