The third of the SHM. Yazoo is often aloof and distant. His weapon appears to be a kind of gunblade, and is called "Velvet Nightmare". While not possessing the speed of his brothers, Yazoo is able to effectively attack from both a distance and in close combat situations.
*Marlene

Role in FFVII: Playable Characters
Role in Movie: Returning Party Members
