Background of Cloud Strife

Cloud Strife is the main protagonist of the video game Final Fantasy VII and its remake. A former SOLDIER working for the Shinra corporation, he was gifted his iconic Buster Sword by his friend and mentor, Zack, upon his death. Upon defecting from Shinra, he became a mercenary and worked alongside teams from the resistance group Avalanche, an enemy of the Shinra organization. Although he seems to have an aloof and nonchalant attitude, Cloud is incredibly loyal to his friends and has many heroic qualities. He is known for his excellent swordsmanship and superhuman abilities.

The Buster Sword is a 5-6 feet long broadsword that is approximately 1 foot wide. It has a distinctive two-toned blade and slanted tip, with two holes in the blade that allow Cloud to equip materia (magic). After receiving the sword from Zack, Cloud uses it in many battles in Final Fantasy VII and it becomes his primary weapon.
