Background/History: Sephiroth is the arch-villain from Final Fantasy 7, and rates as one of the best villains of all time.

He was created in a lab using an unborn human child, infused with cells of Jenova (a being discovered in two thousand year old geological strata) and showered with Mako energy. He grew up isolated, eternally being studied. Even from his childhood, he new he was different to all those around him.

He was inducted into SOLDIER at the start oif the war, and quick rose through the ranks and in renown, until he was known world-wide as the best soldier ever. Such was his fame that people were inspired to join Soldier, just to be like him.

However, on one mission to the small town of Nibelheim, Sephiroth discovered the truth of his origins. This apparently drove him mad, sending him on a rampage across the town, cutting down everyone he came across and burning the whole town to the ground. This culminated with, in the town's Mako reactor, a confrontation with his comrade-in-arms, Cloud Strife.

Sephiroth disappeared. Shinra covered up the whole incident, and reported him dead. Yet he returned, cutting down the president of Shinra Inc. and stealing Jenova away from their lab.

Personality/Motivation: Sephiroth is defined by his psychological limitations. After his discovery, he believes himself separate from everyone else. He becomes extremely arrogant, and regards all humans as traitors who stole the planet from his kind. He holds no regard for human life, as evidenced by his rampage through Nibelheim and later the Shinra tower. He is driven by his desire to find the fabled "promised land," regardless of what he has to do to reach it.

For his crimes in Nibelheim, Sephiroth is wanted by both the Shinra corporation and his former comrade, Cloud Strife.

Powers/Tactics: Sephiroth has no innate powers per se, other than his uncanny ability to detect mako energy (he describes a reactor as "stinking of Mako"). He is, however, well equipped with some very powerful materia orbs, enabling him to cast a variety of devastating attack spells as well as powerful healing spells. His main weapon is his sword, a one-of-a-kind blade named Masamune, which only he can wield. The sword can slice through anything.

Appearance: Sephiroth is tall and lean, with a narrow, handsome face. He has waist-length white hair that tails straight down his back, and intense, glowing green Mako eyes. He wears a black uniform, consisting of trousers and a long coat. Black gloves, knee-length boots and white shoulder pads top off the outfit.
