Yups... kalau korang nak tau sejarah camaner Sephiroth start jadik jahat nie camnie citer dier...
Sephiroth was born at least 30 years before the start of the game to Professor Hojo and Lucrecia of Shin-Ra. Before Sephiroth's birth, Hojo and Lucrecia were working as assistants to Professor Gast, Shin-Ra's top scientist, on the Jenova Project. The project studied the remains of an extra-terrestrial entity known as Jenova, which was mistakenly thought to be one of the Cetra, an ancient people of the world that the game takes place in. Wishing to create a modern day Ancient, and believing that the blood of the Cetra was what would do this rather than the lifestyle of the Cetra, Hojo injected cell samples from Jenova into Sephiroth while he was in Lucrecia's womb.
After his birth, Shin-Ra raised Sephiroth to be a supersoldier, and told him nothing of his actual parents except that his mother's name was "Jenova." He proved to be an incredibly strong and effective member of SOLDIER, gaining worldwide fame for his exploits such as his role in Midgar's victory against Wutai. He was later sent by the President of Shinra to deal with the newly formed AVALANCHE when they've raided Junon. And then went after the group when they "kidnapped" Professor Hojo.
In the events of Crisis Core, taking five years before the start of the FFVII game itself, Sephiroth was ordered to inspect the Mako Reactor outside the town of Nibelheim with a small entourage, consisting of one other member of SOLDIER and a few Shin-Ra MPs. Among this group was SOLDIER 1st Class member Zack and his buddy, a 16-year-old Shin-Ra trooper named Cloud Strife. Nibelheim was Cloud's childhood home, but he avoided showing his face and revealing himself to his childhood friend Tifa Lockheart out of shame over not becoming a full-fledged member of SOLDIER as he had sworn to do several years earlier.
At the reactor, Sephiroth found several pod-like chambers containing monstrous creatures, apparently former humans, possibly mutated by injection with Jenova cells and exposure to Mako. Deeper inside, he found a larger chamber labeled "JENOVA," which contained a very strange feminine-looking creature. Deeply disturbed by the fact that the creature had the same name as his "mother" and by the idea that he himself might have been created in an experiment similar to the one that created the monsters in the pods, Sephiroth made his way to the mansion that had been occupied by Shin-Ra researchers and began reading the research notes that were located in the basement library.
As a result of what he learned, Sephiroth was enraged and psychotic. Based on the Shin-Ra reports, he came to believe that Jenova was a Cetra, and therefore that he himself, Jenova's son, was the last survivor of the Cetra. He also believed that the human race had betrayed the Cetra 2,000 years earlier, leaving them alone to defend the Planet from a calamity it had faced (eventually revealed to have been Jenova itself), and resolved to take vengeance for his "ancestors." He burned Nibelheim to the ground, killing nearly everyone within the village, including Cloud's mother, and then went to the Mako Reactor. He was pursued by some surviving villagers, including Tifa and her father. Zack, as of yet unharmed, and Cloud also followed. When Tifa arrived at the Reactor, she found her father dead with Sephiroth's sword left beside his body. In anger, she took the sword and charged Sephiroth in the pod room, though he took his blade back from her and cut her down, nearly killing her.
A moment later, Zack arrived and rushed up the stairs in the pod room to Jenova's chamber, attempting to stop Sephiroth. A moment later, Sephiroth sent Zack reeling out the doorway of the chamber and onto a pod. Sephiroth attempted to take Jenova with him, but before he could do this, Cloud charged into the room, carrying Zack's large Buster Sword, and taking Sephiroth by surprise stabbed him through his abdomen with it. Believing Sephiroth was finished, Cloud went to tend to Tifa.
Due to Sephiroth's enhanced anatomy, however, he survived Cloud's assault, though wounded greatly. He then removed Jenova's head for reasons known only to himself. He prepared to leave, and to launch an assault upon the Homo Sapien race to symbolically "take back the Planet" for the Cetra. However, before he could leave the Reactor, Cloud pursued him once more, and though Sephiroth took Cloud by surprise this time, turning quickly and sliding his sword into Cloud's chest, Cloud's desperation proved greater than Sephiroth's strength and he lifted Sephiroth off the floor using the blade in his chest as a lever and his own body as a pivot, flinging Sephiroth over the edge of the catwalk upon which they stood, and down into the Mako pool beneath the Reactor, from where Sephiroth's body would be carried into the Lifestream and eventually to the great Northern Crater, the Planet's 2,000 year old wound that was formed by Jenova's landing. This was the last time Sephiroth would be seen for five years.
Following this, Shin-Ra sealed the records on Sephiroth and rebuilt Nibelheim in order to cover up the incident, populating it with Shin-Ra employees paid to act as the town's citizens. Hojo meanwhile decided to make use of the surviving residents of Nibelheim, and so commissioned them against their wills to take part in an experiment that would hopefully prove his Jenova Reunion Theory, a theory stating that when Jenova's Cells are separated, they will seek to reunite. This was done by injecting some of Jenova's Cells into the survivors and then infusing them with Mako, two procedures that had been carried out on Sephiroth himself. Thus, the subjects of the experiment were dubbed Sephiroth "clones", though this term has often been misinterpreted by Westerners due to the "genetic duplicate" connotation carried by the term "clone."
Cloud and Zack were two of Hojo's subjects for this experiment, and they would spend the next five years as his prisoners in the Shin-Ra Mansion of Nibelheim. Shortly before the main events of the game begin, Zack breaks free and takes the semi-comatose Cloud with him. Around this point in time, the call of the Reunion began to go out, and the Sephiroth Clones began making their way toward the Northern Crater, searching for the Black Materia along the way as per instructions telepathically given to them by Sephiroth.
The hero party of the game, known as AVALANCHE, was captive in Shin-Ra's headquarters at this time, having made a daring raid on the facility in an attempt to rescue a captive ally. During the night, Jenova's body contained now in Hojo's lab in the building, breaks out of its containment vessel and slaughters much of the Shin-Ra personnel in the building. At some point, Cloud's prison cell was opened, either by Jenova itself or by an electrical malfunction occurring as a result of Jenova blasting its chamber open. AVALANCHE finds their guards slaughtered, and President Shinra impaled against his desk by a sword that is apparently Sephiroth's (see Manifestation).
Having decided to investigate the matter, AVALANCHE discover that Sephiroth was attempting to use the Black Materia, an item that would call forth a manifestation of the Ultimate Destructive Magic: Meteor. Sephiroth intended to use this to deal a potentially fatal wound to the Planet, at which time it would then send out large amounts of Spirit Energy from the Lifestream in order to heal that wound. Sephiroth planned to merge with Jenova and intercept this massive concentration of energy, absorbing it and the knowledge and power it carried, which he believed would make a god.
Before Sephiroth could obtain and use the Black Materia, Aeris Gainsborough, the last of the Cetra, tried to use the White Materia given to her by her mother to summon the force called Holy, the only power able to counter Meteor. During her attempt to call forth this Ultimate White Magic, Sephiroth had a piece of Jenova in his form slide a sword through her, killing the flower girl almost instantly. This was part of Sephiroth's manipulation and mental torture of Cloud, exacting revenge upon him for having bested him five years earlier, or simply destabilizing him so that he might be easily manipulated. Though Aeris had successfully called Holy, it was now being held back within the Planet by Sephiroth, preventing it from moving with his will, as augmented by Jenova's power.
He continues manipulating Cloud until AVALANCHE reaches Sephiroth's body inside the Northern Crater, by which time Sephiroth has so whittled away at Cloud's mind that he believes he is nothing more than some of Jenova's Cells that had assumed the form of a real person named "Cloud." He then willingly hands over the Black Materia to Sephiroth, which Sephiroth uses to call forth Meteor. Afterward, AVALANCHE and the Shin-Ra executives present are forced to flee from the collapsing area, and Sephiroth then erects a field of energy around the Crater to prevent entry. The force field protecting him is later penetrated by Shin-Ra, and Cloud and the rest of AVALANCHE then descend into the chasm and defeat a mutated Sephiroth, his body having merged with Jenova. After destroying Sephiroth's body, his spirit makes a mental assault upon Cloud, attempting to overcome his will as easily as it had done in the past and take Cloud's body as his own. However, Cloud's mental defenses had grown and he triumphs over Sephiroth's spirit with his ultimate move Omnislash, at which time Sephiroth's Spirit Energy is reclaimed by the Lifestream.
