Ling Yao is the twelfth prince of the Xing Royal Family. He came to Amestris to discover a key to immortality to gain the favor of the emperor. He willingly accepted the possession of the homunculus, Greed.
He instantly becomes a dedicated opponent of Fuhrer King Bradley due to the Homunculus' belief that those in one's service who can no longer perform should be discarded. Ling is a devoted believer in fealty that is, a King cannot exist without a people to support him. Bradley simply responds that a King is merely one who is powerful enough to compel obedience in others.
Ling leaves his country and heads to Amestris to find a way to become immortal, so he can gain the throne. In Xing, many families are striving for the position as emperor. The current emperor is ill, so if Ling can find a method of immortality and gives it to the emperor, he will be chosen as an heir (the emperor will retire eventually). Ling begins to look for the best lead he has: The Philosopher Stone's.
