Spiky of hair, purple of trouser, and Freudian of sword, Cloud is a mercenary and the primary star of the game. He has more than a few skeletons in his closet, however, as a result of some of Hojo's more sinister experiments. He is no longer certain which of his memories - being friends with Tifa, joining SOLDIER, the destruction of Nibelheim and so on - are real and which which are imaginary, and is further confused by the voices in his head. He sometimes even loses control of his body, nearly killing Aeris on a number of occasions. When not crazy, though, he can be truly heroic.

See Cloud.
