Background

Zack Fair is a main protagonist of Final Fantasy VII, and the best friend of the lead character, Cloud Strife. Serving as a SOLDIER 1st Class, Zack went from loyal Shinra warrior to a fugitive on the run, as he attempted to get back to his girlfriend, Aerith Gainsborough. His immeasurable honor and optimism echoes throughout the entire chronology of games, serving as a guiding light to Cloud.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Zack’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Ever since he was a young boy from the town of Gongaga, Zack looked up to the Shinra Power Electric Company’s SOLDIER program, and dreamt of becoming a SOLDIER 1st Class. This dream was so prevalent in Zack’s mind, that at 13 years old, he left for Midgar without even notifying his parents. Zack was quickly enlisted into the Shinra infantry, in which he served for nearly three years. However, once he reached the age of 16, Zack was promoted into SOLDIER as a 2nd Class, and was taken under the personal tutelage of 1st Class SOLDIER, Angeal Hewley. Angeal taught Zack the importance of sticking to his dream, and always maintaining his honor. Eventually, both Angeal and Zack were sent off to deal with Shinra’s war on Wutai, specifically Fort Tamblin. The two SOLDIERs infiltrate the fort and bring it to its knees, finally ending the Wutai conflict; however, much to Zack’s surprise, Angeal had suddenly disappeared. The legendary SOLDIER, Sephiroth, arrived on the scene and deduced that Angeal had betrayed them, joining his friend Genesis to rebel against Shinra. Zack’s efforts would then be shifted onto dealing with the Genesis conflict, which eventually even got him promoted to SOLDIER 1st Class in Angeal’s place. His quest would lead him to the Sector 5 Slums, where he refused to fight against Angeal. As a result, Angeal attacked Zack, and sent him plummeting to the slums below. The young SOLDIER woke up in a small, broken down church, where he met a young snappy girl named Aerith Gainsborough. Zack and Aerith would hit it off immediately, and soon form a relationship together. However, duty would continuously pull Zack away from Aerith, as the war against Genesis raged on. Appearing in Modeoheim for a mission, Zack made friends with one of the infantrymen stationed with him, Cloud Strife. The two infiltrated Modeoheim and finally confronted Angeal once and for all, who transformed into a monster to force Zack to fight. Zack struck down his mentor, and held him in his arms as he died. Angeal, with his dying breath, entrusted his honor and dreams onto Zack in the form of his sword, the Buster Sword. For the next two years, Zack would continue on as the only SOLDIER 1st Class remaining loyal to Shinra. Zack’s relationship with Aerith was going on strong, although he would soon be pulled away on a mission alongside Cloud and Sephiroth to the Mako Reactor in Nibelheim. With Sephiroth suddenly going rogue and slaughtering the entire town of Nibelheim, Zack was forced to confront him within the Mako Reactor. Feeling caught off guard and betrayed, Zack was defeated by Sephiroth after a brief scuffle, and knocked unable to fight. However, Cloud stepped up and caught Sephiroth off guard, seemingly killing him. Both Cloud and Zack were knocked unconscious and retrieved by the evil scientist, Professor Hojo, who experimented on their bodies for the next four years. Thankfully, Zack was finally able to come to his senses, and escape from the experimentation facility in Nibelheim. He recovered Cloud and fled the town, hoping to make his way back to Aerith. The Shinra Infantry was hunting Zack and Cloud down, however, and were quickly gaining on him. Seeing no other way out, Zack confronted the entire army and tried to defeat as many as he could to keep Cloud safe. Unfortunately, Zack defeated a majority of the army but could not hold off all of them, and was fatally shot. As the Shinra army left Zack for dead, Cloud crawled up to his friend and watched as his life began to fade. With his final actions, Zack entrusted his honor and dreams to Cloud in the form of his Buster Sword, asked him to say hello to Aerith for him, and faded into the Lifestream.

Personality

Impatient and hyperactive: Angeal likens Zack to a little puppy, restless and with zero attention span.

Friendly and humble: Yuffie describes Zack as being a really nice guy, who pretended to lose his fight with her to make her feel better.

Flirtatious and charismatic: Aerith saw Zack as a charming guy who likely had many women in his life before her, calling him a "lady's man" and hoping that he was only missing because he found someone else.

Determined, dream-chasing, and honorable: Zack was determined enough to abruptly leave home to chase his dreams. He constantly repeats Angeal's creed, of embracing his dreams, and protecting his honor as SOLDIER.

Has the morality befitting a hero: Kazushige Nojima based Zack's personality on Final Fantasy X's Tidus, explaining that he is impulsive, candor, and knows the difference between right and wrong. He is not a tormented character.

Tier: High 3-A

Cardinality: Finite

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: Multi-Supercluster level (Could defeat Bahamut Fury, who can create a dimension with a starry sky. Could defeat Genesis Rhapsodos empowered by the Red Orb, a far weaker version of whom could take on Sephiroth, and Zack could also directly fight Sephiroth himself; As confirmed by Professor Hojo, Sephiroth knew Super Nova during this time, which has him create a dimension containing starry skies and multiple galaxies. Sephiroth is also consistently stated to be the strongest character in the series, placing him above Knights of the Round, which can destroy its own dimension containing a galaxy cluster)

Durability: Multi-Supercluster level

Striking Strength: Multi-Supercluster Class

Lifting Strength: Class 5 (Can easily pick up and throw a large concrete post with enough force to destroy a helicopter)

Reaction Speed: Supersonic (Can move fast enough to dodge rapid-fire bullets)

Range: Standard Melee, Extended Melee with Buster Sword, Far Higher with Materia and Limit Breaks

Intelligence:

Likely Below Average (Hojo states that is is not SOLDIER's duty to think, only to follow orders and protect, implying that academics were not covered in the SOLDIER program. Since Zack joined Shinra as a child, it's unlikely that he got much schooling)

Gifted (Zack can quickly figure out the problems other people are having. He is charismatic and charming, though he is often surprised when his flirtation tactics work, and he can be a little clueless. He also has zero attention span. Zack can always come up with speeches to inspire the people around him)

Above Average (Zack appears to engage in all of his fights head-on. However, he is capable of using Materia Fusion to create interesting combinations of magic to more-efficiently take out his foes. He successfully scouted out Aerith's house to find out how much Shinra had it under surveillance. Zack also successfully carried Cloud across the world for a year, while being pursued by the Shinra army the entire time)

Genius (When asking Zack to help her test weapons, Scarlet describes 1st Class SOLDIERs as quick to catch on and quicker on their feet. Zack can perfectly replicate techniques from his peers through his Digital Mind Wave, even though Limit Breaks cannot usually be mimicked)
