The main character in FINAL FANTASY VII. Originally a member of SOLDIER, he is now a mercenary who will take any job. After being hired by AVALANCHE, he gradually gets caught up in a massive struggle for the life of the planet. His enormous sword can cut almost anything into two.

Cloud's date of birth is a point of contention: the Ultimania Omega (the official Japanese guidebook) lists it as 11 August, while his profile on the official websites have, for years, listed it as 19 August. Japanese official sites tend to list it as the 11th; English-language ones consistently list it as the 19th. When's his actual birthday? No one knows.
