Cloud Strife is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy VII, as well as it's film sequel Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, and is the most recognizable Final Fantasy character. He is a skilled swordsman, and believes himself to be a member of SOLDIER, an elite warrior unit for Shinra.
This is due to Cloud's friendship with Zack Fair (a SOLDIER 1st Class) while working as a security guard for the Shinra Company and being exposed to Mako poisoning. This served to both "cloud" his memories and give Cloud's eyes a 'greenish glow hue' which is the main trait in SOLDIER's members.
Despite being one of the weakest weapons of FF7, Cloud's main weapon of choice is the Buster Sword, a sword given to him by Zack, who was passed down by his mentor Angeal Hewley.
Cloud is both the Square Enix & Final Fantasy representative in Super Smash Bros.
