Maes Hughes (Maes Hughes), (English: Maes Hughes,) is a character in the series of Japanese animation and cartoon "The Alchemist of Steel". Hughes served in the military court-martial. His subordinate is Alex Louis Armstrong, and his rank is Lieutenant Colonel (words 5-25 in the first animation and words 1- 10 in the second animation). He was killed by Wayne in the 25th animation, by the word 10 in the second animation, and was considered to have died in the line of duty twice.

Hughes was in the ward (No.10) to discuss with Eric and Armstrong what he had seen and heard in the Fifth Institute. During this period, the President suddenly arrived, and even told them to be cautious, because the forces of evil might be higher than him, and everyone in the military department must be assumed to be the enemy. That night, when Hughes was working in the library of the conference hall, the artificial lasso suddenly appeared and tried to kill Hughes. Hughes fought back in time and killed her, but Hughes was seriously injured. He went to the telephone room with a serious injury, but he was surprised that the artificial man knew the secret he told (sentence 35, Eric brothers pushed Duan Hughes to find out that Ah Mui Strids was a big stone made by a sage) and told Mastan Gu, so he went to the telephone booth opposite the Central Command. When the phone was connected, Ross pointed a gun at Hughes from behind, but Hughes quickly recognized that she was not Ross (because Ross had a mole under the right corner of his eye, but the fake Ross didn't). At this time, when Hughes took out his knife and attacked the fake Ross (artificial Wayne) behind him, Hughes found that he had become his wife. Hughes immediately stopped the attack, and Wayne shot him at this moment.
