History Characters / FinalFantasyVIIOtherAntagonists

* HeelFaceTurn: In supplemental materials after his defeats to AVALANCHE and the Turks, he ends up helping the WRO supply fuel and restore the world.

* TookALevelInKindness: The novella "''Lateral Biography Turks -The Kids Are Alright-''" portrays him as a fuel supplier managing things between Shinra and the WRO and helping them restore the planet. Granted, this is only because there's little else he can do anymore.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Yazoo uses a broken bridge as a ramp to take his motorcycle up to the Turk's helicopter, and then shoots the cyclic stick while his motorcycle is flying through the helicopter.

* FauxAffablyEvil: When they ask people for Jenova's location, they tend to do so in a way that's both polite and menacing. They also frame their reunion with Jenova as more benign than it really is and call the Geostigma disease their [[TermsOfEndangerment "invitation"]] for others to join in. When they don't get the answers they want or if Jenova is insulted, they drop they act and beat the crap out of their targets.

* TheManBehindTheMan: He's the real force controlling AVALANCHE.

* AntiVillain: She really does want to protect the planet from Shinra. She's just willing to go to extremes to do it.

* DragonAscendant: After Shears leaves the group and Elfé is too weak to do it herself, Fuhito takes over command of AVALANCHE.

* OmnicidalManiac: Believes that the Planet is too weakened thanks to Shinra's actions and wants to kill all human life so their energy will return to the Lifestream and the Planet can heal without their interference. [[spoiler:This is why he wants to summon Zirconiade, because it will be his tool to do the job.]]

* LiteralSplitPersonality: They each embody a different aspect of Sephiroth. Kadaj has his cruelty and insanity, as well as his preference for katanas, Loz has his speed, physical strength and obsession with Jenova, and Yazoo has his charisma and aloofness ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and hair]]).

* TakingYouWithMe: If you don't hit Dyne hard enough with your final blow in the boss fight against him, he'll use Molotov Cocktail as a final attack. If you use an attack that deals a lot of damage in addition to killing him, Dyne won't get the chance.

* DirtyOldMan: He's an aging crime boss who kidnaps women looking for someone to spend the night with. When presented with Aerith, Tifa, and the crossdressed Cloud, he's ecstatic at the idea of having a choice, and gives the two he doesn't choose to his men to enjoy. Even when on the run from the Turks in Wutai, he can't help but kidnap Elena and Yuffie (The latter of whom is ''sixteen'') the second he spots them, which bites him in the ass when Cloud and the Turks come gunning for him.

* HeelFaceTurn: In supplemental materials after his defeats to AVALANCHE and the Turks, he ends up helping the WRO supply fuel and restore the world.

* DrivenToMadness: After the destruction of Corel, Dyne goes insane. He has his arm replaced with a machine gun and he regularly goes on murderous rampages in the hope of one day killing everyone.

* SiblingsInCrime: They're all brothers, and occasionally bicker or banter with each other during the film.

* UnwittingPawn[=/=]ThePawn: They're just incarnations of Sephiroth's will meant to find Jenova so he can be reborn. Loz and Yazoo have no idea of this while Kadaj has some measure of understanding but is still unaware of his true purpose.

* NotQuiteDead: Three times in fact. [[spoiler:Veld assumes Felicia dead when their hometown is attacked, but she's retrieved and used as an experiment by Hojo. He decides she's a failure and orders her disposed of, but Fuhito takes her to safety. And then at the end of ''Before Crisis'', she's assumed dead due to the Zirconiade Materia finally taking its toll, but she and Veld are taken care of in secret and eventually go into hiding together]].

Jenova descended on Gaia 2,000 years before the events of FFVII. She single-handedly devastated the Cetra, and nearly destroyed the planet, before being sealed in a geological stratum in the Northern Crater. Unearthed by Shinra scientist Gast Faremis, she indirectly played a huge role in Shinra's rise to power as the source of the genetic material they use to create members of SOLDIER, their elite super-soldiers with which they conquered the world. Sephiroth calls her "Mother".

* OedipusComplex: They practically ''worship'' Jenova, speaking of "mother" in almost reverence and devoting their entire existence to finding and reuniting with her.

* PeekABangs: His hair covers his right eye partially.

* AchillesHeel: Jenova got revenge for her imprisonment by killing Aerith, rendering the Cetra extinct. But not before Aerith summoned Holy.
