Cloud first appears in the game ''Final Fantasy VII'' and is the first character the player can control directly. He was born in the mountain village of Nibelheim. During his childhood, his father died and he was raised by his mother. Due to his lack of close friends, Cloud, perhaps as a coping mechanism, considered himself to be superior to all the other village children, and thus did not enjoy their company. | Cloud first appears in the game ''Final Fantasy VII'' and is the first character the player can control directly.

At the age of 14, Cloud, upon learning of the legendary hero [[Sephiroth]]'s exploits and desiring to impress Tifa, left Nibelheim for [[Midgar]] to join SOLDIER, the paramilitary arm of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a megacorporation that effectively ruled the world.

Although he was too mentally weak to join SOLIDER and instead became a mere infantryman, Cloud would eventually become best friends with a 1st Class SOLDIER named {{iw|wikipedia|Zack Fair}}. | ||
Cloud and Zack were later captured by Shinra's corrupt head scientist, Professor Hojo, and experimented upon to test Hojo's Reunion Theory, a facet of the Jenova Project. This experimentation resulted in Cloud becoming as powerful as a 1st Class SOLDIER, but also rendered him catatonic. Four years after being deemed failures during the experimentation, Zack eventually escaped with a weak and delirious Cloud in his arms, but was ambushed by a massive army of Shinra troops and killed. Cloud takes up Zack's sword and attempts to be his successor, although the trauma from Zack's death shattered Cloud's mental stability. His memories warped, causing him to believe that he was an ex-SOLDIER and to forget that Zack ever existed, essentially replacing him in his mind. Eventually, Cloud discovered that he inadvertently mimicked Zack's personality in lieu of his memories; he came to terms with his past, resumed his true personality, and was able to move on. Despite Sephiroth killing Aerith and receiving the Black Materia from a mind controlled Cloud, Cloud and his friends eventually managed to defeat Sephiroth and thus save the world. | Cloud and Zack were later captured by Shinra's corrupt head scientist, Professor Hojo, and experimented upon to test Hojo's Reunion Theory, a facet of the Jenova Project.
