Background: Shane Mustang is the son of Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye. He was born shortly after Roy and Riza entered into the military.
Due to misleading circumstances, Riza had no idea she was even pregnant with Shane when she was, much less that Roy was Shane's father. It was the misleading circumstances that also led Riza to think something else was wrong with her when she was hospitalized after going into labor, in which she informed her boss and took a leave of absence from the battlefield, and Roy took her to the emergency room that was near the base. Due to complications while in labor, Riza had to be put under, and so she wasn't awake while she was delivering Shane, the doctors doing a C section to get Shane out of her as fast as they could. After that day/night, Riza had to be absent from work on sick leave for a month to recover.
Somehow Pride/King Bradley got wind of the truth about Riza's pregnancy and Roy being the father of Riza's child. Sense they were in a relationship way long before they joined the military, and Roy and Riza had conceived Shane while Roy was still in flame alchemy training under Riza's father, Bradley had no way to say that Riza being pregnant with Roy's child was against the rules. Still King Bradley didn't want Roy and Riza to be informed of Shane due to him needing them on his forces, so Bradley sent word to the doctors at the hospital Roy had transported Riza too, and told them not to tell Riza and Roy that Riza had given birth and to instead tell them something else was wrong with her. Bradley did call Madam Christmas after that though and informed her of her great nephew being born, to which Madam Christmas was able to get custody of Shane and raise him up. Bradley however, to keep an eye on Shane and keep record as Shane progressed further in his alchemy training, sent Envy out to Shane's living location to look in on him secretly every so often (once a month to twice a month tops), and after Shane turned 10, Bradley gave an additional order to Envy, not only to look in on him, but to now spar with Shane once a month as well.
Roy's best friend and Riza's friend as well, Maes Hughes, had gotten informed of Shane by accident, due to walking past Bradley's office on his way out to catch a train to go to Eastern command to meet up and talk with Roy reguarding some information about an enemy attack that had just recently happened, and overhearing Bradley talking to someone about Shane, not knowing who it was Bradley was having the conversation with. Maes nearly lost his breath in shock over what he had just heard, knowing Riza and Roy had never even hinted while near him about even thinking of kids much less being together. He decides to keep what he had just found out to himself though for the time being, and instead of going straight to meet Roy over at Eastern command, goes over to where Shane was living first, Shane only being 4 years old at the time he and Hughes meet one another. Once he hears that Shane wants to start doing something to help out his mother and father with their work, Maes has a talk with Shane's great aunt, Madam Christmas, and gets permission from her to take Shane with him on the weekends, and Maes Hughes starts to instruct Shane on how to do research and records over investigations, Shane, only being 4 years of age, being too young to enter onto the battlefield.
Shane, having learned all he could from Maes Hughes's tutoring him, on how to do research and to type up records on investigations while growing up, and after turning 11 starting to help out in doing investigations himself as well, applying everything he had learned from Hughes while doing them, had met up and made friends with Edward and Alphonse Elric, when he and Edward were 6 and Alphonse was 5. He had assisted Edward with his studies on through the next 5 years while Edward and Alphonse were under the teachings of alchemy through Izumi Curtis, and after Edward joined the military at 12 years of age, Shane continued to assist him with many areas of investigative and research work on whatever Edward needed from him at the time, all while putting forth his best efforts to help his father Roy Mustang, and his mother Riza Hawkeye as much and as best he could.
