Main Characters
 |
Zack Fair
A young man from Gongaga who would one day become one of ShinRa's strongest First
Class SOLDIERs, Zack is Crisis Core's protagonist and only playable character.
He works hard under his mentor Angeal to climb the ranks and achieve his dream
of becoming a hero. He is known for being laid back, and a bit of a flirt, extremely
kind, loyal, and having superior skills in combat. Despite this, he despises killing,
and strives to protect people above all else, and despises those with no regard for life. |
 |
Angeal Hewley
A respected SOLDIER First Class, a mentor to Zack, and the original owner
of the Buster Sword. He comes from the small town of Banora where his best
friend was Genesis. His family is extremely frugal, a trait he has inherited
though he does entertain a few hobbies. He is unaware of the circumstances of
his birth and their revelation causes a great deal of confusion in him and
strain between him and his comrades. |
 |
Sephiroth
The top-ranking SOLDIER First Class. He is known and praised as a war hero
and is highly respected and admired, though he is somewhat reticent and aloof.
Angeal and Genesis are his closest friends at the beginning of the game and the
only people he does not want to fight against. He slowly opens up to Zack after
serving on several missions with him, revealing the genial human being within him.
However, upon uncovering the twisted experiments surrounding his origin, he loses
his sanity and disappears at Nibelheim. |
 |
Genesis Rhapsodos
An enigmatic SOLDIER First Class with an even more puzzling past. Raised as the son
of the landlord of Banora, he has only recently been made aware of his connection to
the Project G. Upon learning the truth, he strikes against Shinra as the leader of the
Genesis Army. There is more to this movement than simply revenge, as Genesis seeks to
find the answers to the mystery locked inside epic poem “Loveless.” By the time of
Final Fantasy VII, all evidence of him has been destroyed and covered up with the exception
of 3 brief records. |
 |
Aerith Gainsborough
The last of the Cetra, Aerith has been pursued by ShinRa's Science Department,
and watched by the Turks for some time. She meets Zack by accident as yet another
visitor haven fallen through the roof of her church. The two strike up an immediate
relationship when Zack asks for a date to repay Aerith for waking him up after his fall.
They act as emotional support for one another through their dates and phone calls. |
 |
Cloud Strife
An MP within the ShinRa military, originally from the town of Nibelheim.
Cloud was unable to fulfill his dream to become a member of SOLDIER,
but became close friends with Zack over the course of the missions they
shared together, and holds both him and Sephiroth in high regard.
He accompanies both of them to the fated incident at Nibelheim, and later
escapes with Zack. |
Other Characters
 |
Tseng
A member (and later the head) of the Turks.He originally met Zack through a mission
they were partnered together on. Over the course of the SOLDIER’s time with Shinra,
they worked together several times and had a fairly good working relationship together.
In a twist of fate, Tseng was in charge of cleaning up the Nibelheim incident, as well
as rescuing and later hunting down Zack and Cloud. |
 |
Cissnei
An orphan prodigy who was taken in by Shinra for combat training. She is the youngest member
in the history of the Turks and fights with a huge shuriken called “Rekka.” She and Zack cross
paths several times, though it appears to be more than simply coincidence, and the two share an
amiable friendship with hints of deeper feelings. |
 |
Lazard
The executive manager of SOLDIER at the time of Crisis Core. Though he doesn’t have any
experience in combat, his concise instructions and composed demeanor has won him the respect
and loyalty of his subordinates. His quick ascent to his current position has him often compared
to Rufus Shinra who has made the same sort of meteoric rise. For all of his politeness and
niceties though, there seems to be another side to him glimpsed through his messages to
SOLDIER rife with allusions to “injustice” and “the darkness of Shinra.” |
 |
Hollander
A scientist who has worked at Shinra for a number of years. He was involved in the
original Jenova Project under its subset Project G and is also responsible for the
technology to create Copies from individuals like Genesis. He lost a bid for control
of the Science Department to Hojo years ago after Gast left and has essentially been
living in disgrace at Shinra, growing more bitter and eager to plot his revenge. |
 |
Yuffie Kisaragi
The precocious daughter of Wutai’s Lord Godo. Her freedom fight against Shinra starts
in the closing days of the Wutai War after she encounters Zack on a mission. Later,
armed with a list of possible locations for treasure, she attempts to trick him into
assisting her in collecting these items for the purpose of funding a new Wutai rebellion. |
 |
Tifa Lockhart
A young girl living in Nibelhiem. She acts a guide to the Nibel Mako Reactor when
Sephiroth, Zack, and Cloud come to investigate. She asks Zack about a blond SOLDIER
First Class, but unfortunately he doesn’t have the information she seeks. After
