Background

Angeal Hewley was a young boy born in the small town of Banora, to a loving mother (Gillian Hewley), and father. Angeal was best friends with a boy his age named Genesis Rhapsodos who, unbeknownst to them both, was his biological brother. Both Angeal and Genesis were the result of Project G, an experiment that had Gillain Hewley’s womb be infused with the cells of an alien called Jenova. From this experiment, Genesis and Angeal were born.

Angeal grew up an extremely honourable and prideful man, who sought to follow his dreams at all costs. Eventually, he and Genesis decided they would leave for Midgar and enlist into Shinra Power Electric Company’s infantry. Before he left, Angeal was given a large sword by his father, called the Buster Sword. Angeal’s father spent a large amount of money to have it made, and would eventually die of exhaustion trying to pay it off.

Because of this, Angeal carried the Buster Sword around as a sign of his and his father’s honour, and vowed to use it in combat as scarcely as possible, in order to preserve it from wear, tear, and rust. As the years went along, Angeal went from a simple infantryman, to a 1st Class member of the SOLDIER program.

As a part of SOLDIER, Angeal became friends with fellow SOLDIER, Sephiroth, and would often be seen alongside him and Genesis. Angeal then took in a student under his wing; a boy named Zack Fair, who he saw great potential in. Angeal trained Zack in combat, in preparation for him becoming a SOLDIER 1st Class.

However, as the Wutai War ended, the Genesis War began. Genesis learned the truth of his birth and revolted against Shinra, eventually raising an army to oppose it. After learning of this revelation himself, Angeal decided to join Genesis in his quest, greatly angering Zack for his betrayal.

In truth, Angeal believed himself to be a monster, and unworthy of honour or dreams. After one final battle against Zack, Angeal transformed into a great beast, and was struck down. Dying in his student’s arms, Angeal’s final act was to pass his Buster Sword onto him; symbolically passing his dreams and honour onto Zack.
