Hojo
Job: Head of the Science Department
Residence: Midgar
Bio:
Hojo worked under Gast during the Jenova Project, and has constantly been labeled the inferior scientist. Sephiroth is his son, and likely he persuaded Lucrecia to use their child in the experiment. He and Vincent were rivals, and when Vincent came to him after Sephiroth's birth, possibly about Lucrecia's deteriorating condition, Hojo shot him. He experimented on Vincent and locked him in the basement of the Nibelheim mansion, claiming that the TUrk had gotten in the way of his research.
After Gast's disappearance, Hojo sought him out and at last found him in Snow Village with Ifalna and Aeris. He had Gast killed for resisting and brought the two Cetra back to his lab, where he kept them until their escape seven years later. Striving to produce a work to rival Gast's, Hojo became obsessed with Jenova and conducted numerous experiments with it in Nibelheim, thus creating the so-called Sephiroth clones from the survivors of the disaster. His work is all that matters to him, and he doesn't care what it takes to achieve greatness. |
