The only homunculus with whom Pride has a tolerable and slightly positive relationship with is Wrath, likely due to their fake father-son relationship. Even Envy, a homunculus filled with huge sadism, dislikes and is angered by Pride's hubris, calling Pride a 'bastard'. Greed calls Pride a 'monster,' even for a homunculus such as him. He cares so little about the others that the deaths of even many of them will have no effect whatsoever on his heart in fact, he's so heartless that he doesn't even get annoyed about losing such potential 'tools' of his. Pride wants to have pawns he can use at his own convenience.Īccording to Envy, Pride is so selfish and self-absorbed that he tends to show up at the wrong time and isn't there when the other homunculi need him.

Also, as he is about to devour Kimblee, he tells Kimblee 'Don't worry, you'll be alive, inside me.', completely disregarding the fact that Kimblee is likely to feel great suffering while inside Pride. He is very biased, always coming up with excuses to justify his cruel deeds for the sake of not hearing insults or accusations against him or his image for example, after he brutally dismembers and then eats Gluttony, he gave the justification that Gluttony was 'originally a part of him anyway' (both Pride and Gluttony come from Father). He sees humans as pathetic weaklings, inferior beings 'of no importance.' He has great faith in his immense strength, feeling that he can overcome any opposition, no matter how powerful, and this often causes him to underestimate his opponents. He is also shown to be extremely cruel, as shown when he ruthlessly killed his own brother Gluttony in order for him to absorb Gluttony's abilities for his fight against Edward. He quickly resorts to petty taunts and insults against opponents. Pride is also extremely arrogant in battle. He loves the honor of being a Homunculus the most, and encourages his siblings to feel contempt towards all non-homunculi.

However, whereas Father treats humans with a bored or apathetic attitude (probably because Father is slothful), Pride treats humans like playthings/slaves.

He tries to act superior to humans by pretending they are insects to him, filling himself with false dignity and futile boastfulness. His true personality is similar to Father's. Much of his positive traits vanish when he reverts to his Pride persona. Sometimes he reveals part of his true personality, such as when he calls Edward 'tiny' even though Pride is actually much shorter than Edward, and when he shows no shame about exclaiming loudly in the royal library. He also seems fanatically interested in the Elric Brothers, reacting with giddy excitement upon meeting them. He displays great admiration and respect for his 'father', King Bradley, at one point writing a glowing report about him for a school project. When first introduced under the guise of Selim Bradley, Pride acts as if he has the mannerisms of a usual young boy, displaying a proneness to hero worship.
