Maes Hughes is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Investigations
Division of the State Army. Hughes is obsessively in love with
his wife, Gracia, and only child, Elicia, who from birth shares
a strange connection with Ed and Al. Hughes is friendly and
extremely casual, sometimes to a fault. He can quickly lapse
back and forth between discussing State matters to going on
and on about his family. As a high-ranking official in the
Investigations Division, Hughes is privy to plenty of top-secret
info, which he shares with Ed on the sly. When Hughes is
nudged into physical combat, his weapons of choice are
small throwing knives, which he wields with incredible and
deadly accuracy.
