Even after his death, Angeal's will influences Lazard Deusericus into helping Zack, and may exist the influence guiding the canine Angeal Copy that protects Aerith Gainsborough.

Story [ ]

Early life [ ]

Angels dream of one thing... To be human.

Angeal to Zack

Many years ago Gillian Hewley worked with Dr. Hollander in the experiment of her namesake, Project Gillian, a co-operative of the Jenova Project to create a Cetra-human-hybrid. Gillian was injected with Jenova cells (an organism Hollander mistook for a Cetra) and her cells were injected into other subjects.

Gillian'south son, Angeal, gained her cells naturally, and during his childhood, he lived in Banora Village with his mother and a stepfather. His family was poor in comparison to his best friend, Genesis Rhapsodos, the adopted son of the village's landlord. Unknown to both, Genesis was too a exam subject in Project G, having gained Gillian'southward cells via injection rather than naturally.

Working for Shinra [ ]

Angeal joined SOLDIER and was promoted to First Class, becoming a mentor and role model for many lower class SOLDIER members, in particular Zack Fair. He wields the enormous Buster Sword, a gift from his stepfather when he joined Shinra, though he rarely uses it for the fear of it gathering "wear, tear, and rust," equally he approximates it to a representation of his family's pride and award.

During a grooming session in the Virtual Reality Grooming Room taking on the prototype of Junon's mako cannon, Angeal and Genesis faced the confident Sephiroth. Genesis wanted to battle Sephiroth solitary, claiming he, besides, wants to become a hero. The duel escalated and Angeal intervened. Genesis sustained an injury and Angeal donated blood for a transfusion after Sephiroth was told his blood is not compatible with Genesis's.

During an try to recover a hi-jacked Shinra train in Midgar, Angeal tells Zack to be careful earlier allowing him to recover the train alone. When Sephiroth takes Zack downwardly Angeal pulls out his cellphone and aborts the mission and the train station, Midgar, and Sephiroth fade away every bit it was only a virtual training exercise.

Later, Angeal tells Zack to report to the Briefing Room where Director Lazard Deusericus explains Zack's mission at a temple in Wutai to help bring an end to the Wutai War. Zack is surprised Angeal has recommended him to go on this mission and receive a promotion to SOLDIER First Class if he fares well.

One time in the woods outside Wutai's Fort Tamblin, Angeal tells Zack of the "dumbapples," fruits that ripen randomly throughout the year. He used to steal them as his family unit was poor. The largest tree grew exterior the house of the richest family in the village, but Angeal would never have an apple from that tree since the rich family'southward son was his all-time friend. When asked why he didn't ask his friend for apples, Angeal replies, "Honor can exist quite a burden at times."

Later on Zack takes the fort and is knocked down past two monsters in a dojo, Angeal saves him and jokes that Zack's life is a lilliputian more than important than his sword, if just a little. Heading back, Zack and Angeal meet up with Lazard and the iii are attacked by Genesis Copies, copies of Angeal's friend who had defected the company some time earlier. Angeal agrees to handle them while Zack protects Lazard. Angeal pretends to desert Shinra to try and regain Genesis's trust and bring him back.

Defecting from Shinra [ ]

Two months after Zack and Tseng investigate Angeal and Genesis's hometown of Banora Village and find Genesis at the apple juice factory. Equally Zack prepares to fight him, Angeal intervenes and Genesis leaves. When Zack finds Gillian Hewley dead and Angeal staring at his mother's lifeless body, Zack attacks him. Angeal states his mother had no reason to live, and he, likewise, is guilty of the same crime. Later on Genesis returns, Angeal leaves.

During the Genesis Copy raid in Midgar four months later, Zack and Sephiroth learn that Angeal can as well produce copies. Zack chases after Dr. Hollander afterward searching through Hollander'southward records with Sephiroth and finding out about Project G. Within the Sector 5 Plate Interior Zack confronts Hollander, but is stopped past Angeal. Zack asks about Angeal'due south motives and he replies with "world domination" and "revenge." Revealing his wings, he claims those are the objectives monsters focus on. Zack tells Angeal he is wrong and that his wings aren't the wings of a monster, but "angel's wings." Angeal asks what angels should fight for and what they dream of. Zack is unable to reply, and Angeal claims angels dream of existence human being. Zack refuses to fight and Angeal sends him plummeting to the Midgar Slums.

Subsequently a change of heart Angeal appears on the Sector 0 of Midgar Highway and confronts Zack outside the Shinra Building asking him to join him, stating their enemy is all that creates suffering. At the Shinra Building they find Sephiroth dealing with Genesis copies. While Angeal handles things outside and Sephiroth holds the current flooring, Zack heads to check on Professor Hojo, who is about to be captured past Genesis. Angeal catches up with them in Hojo'southward laboratory and tells Genesis to stop. Hojo is surprised to run into both Genesis and Angeal with wings.

Angeal confronts Genesis in the Shinra building.

Angeal pursues Genesis, and once Genesis's attack on the headquarters has been quelled, Angeal meets Zack in the Sector 5 slums the next day and apologizes for leaving him to fight lone. Angeal explains Genesis and Hollander have gone to Modeoheim. Zack asks if he plans to return to SOLDIER, but Angeal does not know, and flies off.

Angeal tells Zack information technology should accept been him to fight Genesis, merely he intends to prepare Zack for his final battle. Dr. Hollander enters and tells Angeal it is time to take his revenge for their family, but Angeal says his father is dead. Bemused, Hollander tells him to accept revenge on his mother's behalf, but Angeal says his mother was and so ashamed of her past she took her own life.

Dr. Hollander explains Jenova cells were injected into Gillian and her cells were injected into the fetal Genesis, but while Genesis was a failure, Angeal—having received her cells directly—was branded perfect. Hollander relishes on how Angeal has developed a ii-way conduit, having received Jenova's ability to absorb other creatures' traits and implant his into monsters.

Angeal asks if Zack remembers their hope to fight anything that causes suffering, and though Zack insist that does non include him, summons several copies. Though Dr. Hollander warns that he cannot digest a number of creatures at once, Angeal uses the monsters to turn into a chimera blended called Angeal Penance whom Zack is forced to destroy. Defeated, Angeal lies dying and tells Zack he is counting on him to do the residual. Angeal entrusts the Buster Sword to Zack and his life ends with the words, "Protect your award, ever."

More than than a year after Angeal's expiry, a surviving Angeal re-create (a winged canine) appears at a church building in the Midgar slums and defends Zack and his girlfriend Aerith from a Shinra attack robot. Injured and weak from the disharmonism, the copy remains within the church.

During the four years Zack lays imprisoned in the Shinra Manor in the backwash of the Nibelheim Incident, Angeal is sighted across the world. One day Zack sees a concrete manifestation of Angeal caused past a reaction to the concentration of Jenova cells and mako energy. Angeal asks how Zack can phone call himself a fellow member of SOLDIER. Zack'southward heightened emotions let him to pause gratuitous of his containment to effort and reunite with his mentor.

Angeal helps Zack take his offset stride towards the lifestream.

As he escapes Shinra's and Genesis's pursuit to Gongaga Village, Zack spots an Angeal figure who is revealed to be Managing director Lazard and the source of the Angeal sightings. Lazard had received Angeal'due south cells and become an Angeal copy gifted not only with Angeal's concrete advent, but with his morals and sense of justice. Lazard did non receive Angeal'southward strength, nor his amnesty from deposition, and has been deteriorating similar Genesis.

While Zack is away to stop Genesis off for adept, Lazard and the canine Angeal copy use the last of their energy to defend Deject Strife from Shinra, pass out and fade into the lifestream. Afterwards, subsequently Zack is killed past Shinra and left lying on a precipice on the Midgar Wasteland, Angeal'due south spirit descends from the heaven and helps Zack offset his journey into the lifestream.

Behind the scenes [ ]

Angeal was designed by Tetsuya Nomura. The Crisis Cadre Consummate Guide includes a developer interview where the interviewer asks about the identity of Angeal'southward father, and if the relationship between Hollander and Gillian is comparable to the relationship between Hojo and Lucrecia Crescent in Final Fantasy 7. The developers state Gillian married afterwards being sent to Banora with Angeal, and Angeal was raised never knowing his mother's husband was not his biological father. The developers say the idea of a marital relationship betwixt Hollander and Gillian is a secret, leaving the possibility open that Angeal's unidentified biological father could exist Hollander.^[2]

Many believe that the last Angeal copy was born out of Angeal'south will and that he controls information technology from within the lifestream to go along helping Zack. This is foreshadowed when, after Genesis copies attack Costa del Sol, Tseng speculates that Genesis is controlling his copies from beyond the grave. It is also like to how Sephiroth controls those with Jenova cells in Final Fantasy Vii.

The scenes of Angeal and Zack grabbing hands in Wutai and the ending FMV are reminiscent of Aerith and Cloud grabbing easily after Deject'due south final confrontation with Sephiroth at the terminate of Concluding Fantasy Vii, and during the fight against Bahamut SIN in Concluding Fantasy Seven: Appearance Children Complete.

Etymology and symbolism [ ]

Angeal is most probable derived from the Irish discussion for "angel," aingeal, tying into his white wings. [view· edit· purge]An angel is a non-physical entity or spirit found in diverse religions and mythologies. In Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, angels are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who deed as intermediaries between God or Heaven and Earth, or as guardian spirits or a guiding influence. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and conveying out God'southward tasks. The term "angel" has too been expanded to various notions of spirits found in many other religious traditions. In fine art, angels are oft depicted with bird-like wings on their dorsum, a halo, robes and various forms of glowing light.

Out of those born from the Jenova Project, Angeal was the first and only i to have more than one wing and have them exist a color other than black. Angeal is the only production of the Jenova Project who does not wish harm to others, and thus the white wings may symbolize retaining his award. This may as well be done in contrast to Genesis and Sephiroth who both have a single black wing, symbolizing fallen angels/Satan, while Angeal has two white wings, making him more akin to a Heaven'south angel.

Also tying into the Judeo-Christian traditions are Angeal Penance's special attacks, named afterward the Vii Deadly Sins: Unleashed Wrath, End of Gluttony, Wings of Pride, Charge of Greed, Thunder of Envy, Defense of Lust, and Rage of Sloth. [view· edit· purge]Penance is repentance of sins as well as the proper proper noun of the Roman Cosmic, Orthodox Christian, and Anglican Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation/Confession.

Hewley derives from hyle. [view· edit· purge] Hyle, a Greek discussion, translates equally "Materia" in Latin.
