Having received all the information from him that she wished, Olivier Armstrong draws her sword against Raven and kills him, ordering that his body and her blood-stained gloves be mixed in with the cement being used to close up the hole leading to the tunnel. Raven was a Lieutenant General in the Amestrian Military and one of the elite members of Central High Command in the capital. At first it appears to Mustang that Raven can be trusted (the General's jovial nature and complimentary speech putting the nervous Colonel at ease) but when Mustang tests the waters by mentioning a rumor about the Führer being a Homunculus, Raven leads Roy into the Central Command room and repeats the rumor for all (including Bradley himself) to hear, revealing that General Raven reveals the rest of the plan as he understands it to Major General Armstrong and offers her a place in Central High Command and in the new era of immortality if she complies. General Raven is a rather manipulative and selfish person, seduced by the plan for immortality, but too foolish to realize that he himself is being deceived and manipulated by the Homunculi. He speaks often of the "survival of the fittest" and the "end's justification of the means", suggesting that he no longer cares how many of his own people are murdered in the pursuit of immortality. Armstrong also seems to confirm this, noting that Raven was indeed once a good soldier. His typical outfit is the blue Amestrian State Military uniform.

She admits that she had killed him after he reveals King Bradley's real identity, the immortal army, and the Homunculi. Moreover, it's possible to conclude that Raven is an unfaithful husband since he has a wife, revealed in episode 24 from the anime adaptation. As she slays him, Major General Armstrong notes that Raven may have been an honest and honorable soldier in his youth before the fear and greed of old age encroached upon his sense of duty to the Amestrian people. But, like the other generals involved in Father's plot, he sacrificed his morality as he aged as a chance to escape death via the "promised" immortality. This is a short summary page for characters from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its anime adaptation Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. One of Roy's informants in Central City also reveals that Raven is lecherous and conceited, further cementing his selfishness. He was voiced by Katsuhisa Houki in the Japanese version and Christopher Ayres in the English version.
