First introduced as the court jester and army general under [[Emperor Gestahl]], Kefka reveals himself a nihilistic psychopath after setting in motion events leading to the [[Apocalypse]] and pronouncing himself the God of Magic. | ||
Kefka is considered by many to be one the greatest video game villains. He has a distinct shrill, maniacal cackle and a darkly-comedic passion and dialogue. | Kefka is considered by many to be one the greatest video game villains.

Through the first half of ''Final Fantasy VI'', Kefka leads the charge for the city-state of [[Vector]] to conquer the world, one kingdom at a time, using their magic weapons. Kefka mentally enslaves [[Terra Branford|Terra]] and uses her to lead an attack on the town of [[Narshe]] to claim the frozen esper [[Tritoch]]. When Terra escapes Imperial control, Kefka pursues her to [[Figaro Castle]], setting it ablaze as she, [[Locke Cole|Locke]] and [[Edgar Roni Figaro|Edgar]] flee. | Through the first half of ''Final Fantasy VI'', Kefka leads the charge for the city-state of [[Vector]] to conquer the world, one kingdom at a time, using their magic weapons.

During a siege on [[Doma]], Kefka grows impatient with [[Leo Cristophe|Leo]] and poisons the drinking water in [[Doma Castle]], resulting in several deaths and a swift victory for the [[Gestahlian Empire]]. After the alliance of [[Summon|Esper]]s and revolutionaries invade and destroy Vector, Gestahl feigns sorrow for the Empire's evils, and to gain the trust of the protagonists, Gestahl has Kefka imprisoned, citing the poisoning of Doma. Kefka later goes to [[Thamasa]] to kill the Espers congregated there, killing Leo when he tries to intervene. Using the power of the Espers, Kefka helps Gestahl raise the Espers' homeworld and create the [[Floating Continent]], where they intend to awaken three entities known as the [[Warring Triad]]. Upon being confronted by the protagonists, Gestahl freezes them except for former Imperial | During a siege on [[Doma]], Kefka grows impatient with [[Leo Cristophe|Leo]] and poisons the drinking water in [[Doma Castle]], resulting in several deaths and a swift victory for the [[Gestahlian Empire]].

Kefka later goes to [[Thamasa]] to kill the Espers congregated there, killing Leo when he tries to intervene. Using the power of the Espers, Kefka helps Gestahl raise the Espers' homeworld and create the [[Floating Continent]], where they intend to awaken three entities known as the [[Warring Triad]]. Upon being confronted by the protagonists, Gestahl freezes them except for former Imperial general Celes, whom he orders to kill her friends to show her loyalty to the Empire. She instead stabs Kefka, who becomes enraged. Kefka and the Emperor then get in an argument as to what degree they will wield the power of the triad—the Emperor taking a more conservative approach, since he only wants enough power to rule the world, while Kefka wants to unleash the Warring Triad's full potential. The Emperor tries and fails to kill Kefka, who retaliates by having the Warring Triad strike Gestahl down and unceremoniously boots him off the Floating Continent to his death. Kefka then moves the statues of the Warring Triad out of balance, unleashing enough raw magical energy to reshape the face of the planet into the [[World of Ruin]] and bringing about the second act of the game. | ||
Imbued with the power of the statues, Kefka becomes the god of his newly created world, using the statues to forge a massive tower of debris to serve as his headquarters, named [[Kefka's Tower]]. Kefka smites the millions who refuse to worship him with his [[Light of Judgment]], although he implies before fighting the [[Returners]] that he largely used the Light of Judgment on everyone for his own amusement regardless of whether they worshiped him or not. Confronted by the protagonists at the game's conclusion, Kefka reveals his nihilistic motivations: when the protagonists reject his claims, Kefka goes berserk and proclaims his desire to eradicate everything. Upon the defeat of his minions, Kefka reveals his godlike form and, after uttering one final nihilistic vision of life, dreams and hope, attacks the protagonists before he is ultimately slain, causing the power of magic to vanish. | Imbued with the power of the statues, Kefka becomes the god of his newly created world, using the statues to forge a massive tower of debris to serve as his headquarters, named [[Kefka's Tower]].
