I'm not sure how the master came across this information, at least when it comes to the red stones, but Envy was the first one of us created. Unfortunately it's not my place to tell that story, so we'll have to go with my own experience on the matter.
Homunculi tend to retain some of the memories of the person who died. Badly fragmented memories, and the ones I have that I can identify as memories I can count on one hand, but they're there. The memories are out of context and hard to explain and it's only because I've been alive for a long time that I can explain what mine mean.
If you asked a younger one of our group they would probably be unable to explain or understand what they're remembering.
What we all remember for certain though is either the moment of death or very close to it. The man whose face I wear was murdered, for instance. I remember that very clearly.
