About

Sephiroth is a pivotal character in the Final Fantasy series, primarily known as the main antagonist of Final Fantasy VII. He was once a celebrated member of Shinra's elite military unit, SOLDIER, but his life took a drastic turn upon discovering his true origins. Sephiroth is a human-Jenova hybrid, created by injecting him with cells from the extraterrestrial lifeform Jenova while he was still a fetus. This revelation drove him to madness and a deep-seated hatred for humanity. Sephiroth's story is marked by tragic events, including the infamous Nibelheim Incident and his attempt to control the Planet by summoning Meteor. His actions are driven by a desire to become a god, and he is infamous for his brutal deeds, such as killing Aerith. Despite his villainous nature, Sephiroth's complexity and depth make him a compelling character, contributing to his status as one of gaming's most iconic villains. His legacy extends beyond Final Fantasy VII, appearing in other games and media.
