Shears
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Shears (シアーズ, Shiāzu) is a character in Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. He is a powerful field leader of AVALANCHE and second strongest member of the organization in physical terms (second only to Elfé), he had excellent hand-to-hand combat skills and often took charge of executing operations and formulating battle strategies. Strength-wise, Shears can easily defeat Reno and Rude alone, but cannot defeat them when they work together. His language is very course and vulgar, often using curse words.
[edit] Storyline
Shears's parents were killed by Shinra, and so he dedicated himself to destroying them. He became the leader of an army of one-hundred bandits. One day, Elfé and Fuhito were walking down the road, when they were confronted by Shears and his army. Elfé managed to easily defeat them, and gave Shears the opportunity to join AVALANCHE. He accepted.
Shears became completely devoted to Elfé, though he and Fuhito were decidedly not fond of one another. Despite their differences, the three worked together to destroy Shinra, attacking in numerous places and wrecking havoc across the Planet. However, Elfé slowly became weaker due to the Zirconiade Materia embedded in her hand. Fuhito did not seem to care, so Shears left AVALANCHE to try to save Elfé with the Turks, lead by Elfé's father Verdot. Together they try to find the four support Materias for Elfé's Zirconiade Materia so as to save her and the world from Fuhito's insane plans. He eventually sacrifices himself to save Elfé, and seems to be dead.
