Dissidia
Cloud is an excellent soldier who was given Jenova Cells. This and the fact that he absolutely hates Sephiroth, made him easy to be manipulated by Sephiroth. He eventually broke free and made it his goal to destroy Sephiroth and everything he stands for at any cost. He used to fight on the side of Cosmos but was then summoned by Chaos in the Dissidia 012.
