He later on kidnaps Edward's younger brother Alphonse, but soon releases him with Martel safe inside his armor. Locked away in Laboratory 5 by Dante, who locked him there as punishment for defying her, he escaped when the lab blew up. Unlike the other Homunculi, Greed has no intention of becoming human, nor does he have any need for the Philosopher's Stone. Greed, the 'Ultimate Shield', is an ex-lover of Dante, who tried to bring him back to life, bringing him back as a Homunculus in her failure. Kimblee however betrays him, leading to the event of Greed's demise.

After being released from Lab 5 he recruits Chimeiras, Shou Tucker, and Kimblee to help obtain an eternal life. Envy seems to want to do nothing more than get rid of Greed. Greed has a grudge against Envy that doesn't let up even after Greed's seal is broken. Shortly after, Ed kills Greed by stabbing him in the heart with his automail. Greed kidnapped Al in the series, but not being as evil as the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins, he lets Al go. His special power is to be able to create a shield from the carbon in his blood/body. The sign of the Oroboros is on his left hand.
