- —Sephiroth to Cloud Strife

History
During pregnancy, the scientist Lucrecia Crescent was injected with cells from an alien being known as Jenova, and those cells merged with her child's unborn body. This child would be named Sephiroth, and he was created in an attempt to lead the world to the Promised Land. After birth, he was taken in and trained by the Shinra Electric Power Company to become a super soldier, and he eventually rose to the rank of a SOLDIER First Class and was celebrated as a war hero. One day, Sephiroth, Zack Fair, and a young Cloud Strife were sent on a mission to investigate a monster outbreak in Nibelheim. There, he saw humans mutated into monsters, and a chamber with the name of his "mother" on it. Sephiroth had learned the truth, and it drove him mad, giving him a taste for destruction, and a desire to finish what his "mother" started: the utter annihilation of all life. Sephiroth eventually ended up in the Lifestream, but his will was too strong to be consumed, so he spent years traveling through it and learning. After his body was rebuilt from fragments, his new goal became to merge with the Lifestream and become a god, but not before facing his old colleague Cloud, who was determined to stop him at all costs.
