Cloud is the main character of Final Fantasy VII, the epic game that relys opon his past and future. Cloud comes from a small town named Nibelheim. Growing up, he always wanted to be like Sephiroth, a member of the Shinra corporation's elite force known as SOLDIER and a renowned war hero. He joined SOLDIER, and was eventually assigned with Sephiroth. However, during one assignment to Cloud's home town, Sephiroth ran amok, cutting down his friends and destroying the entire town. Cloud confronted Sephiroth, but he cannot remember what happened during or after that confrontation. Cloud winds up as a mercenary working for Avalanche, a terrorist group dedicated to bringing down Shinra, lead by Barret Wallace and Cloud's childhood friend, Tifa Lockheart. During their missions, they discover that Sephiroth is alive and still wreaking havoc. Cloud sets out to confront his childhood hero once more.

Due to his betrayal of SOLDIER, Cloud is a marked man. He is hunted by both the Shinra corporation and his long-time nemesis Sephiroth. Unknown to Cloud, he can be influenced by Sephiroth, due to the conditions of his death at Sephiroth's hands and subsequent resurrection. Cloud is mostly lonely, aloof and arrogant. He never shares his ideas or expresses his feelings around people, aside Tifa of course. But he becomes more tainted and in despair during the aftermath of Midgar. Here we see cloud weighed down by memories of loved ones he had lost and now comes across as devoid of hope. Is it the cause of that veering disease? Or is there something missing?

Cloud Strife is a lean man of average height. He has a spiky mess of short blond hair, and his blue eyes glow with mako power, a mark of SOLDIER members. He wears his old SOLDIER uniform in FVII: a purple sleeveless shirt and loose pants, gauntlets, shoulderpads and heavy boots. But in AC his attire shows more of a darker side, defined by the black sleeveless turtle neck and strange ornament on his chest. He always carries a buster sword, a massive, two-handed blade with two small materia slots in the base of the blade.
