    Name: Yazoo<br />
    Weapon: Velvet Nightmare<br />
    Race: Remnants of Sephiroth<br />
    <br />
    Appearance: <br />
    Yazoo wears a long black coat zipped up over his chest with black boots, shoulder guards and straps crossing over his torso. His silver hair is long and extends partway down his back, although not as far as Sephiroth's hair, and he has green eyes with cat-like pupils, the same as Sephiroth. He fights using a Velvet Nightmare handgun, and is the tallest of his brothers and is very lean. Because of his height, hair, and outfit, Yazoo resembles Sephiroth the most of the three remnants. <br />
    Personality:<br />
    "Just as soon as you give back Mother, that'll be the end of everything."<br />
    —Yazoo to Reno.
    <br />
    Yazoo embodies Sephiroth's allure and cool personality, and pains were taken during writing to differentiate his personality from Kadaj's while not making him like Loz, who was characterized as child-like. Yazoo has few facial expressions, limited to moments such as when Reno insults Jenova, or when Cloud Strife slices apart his Velvet Nightmare gun. <br />
    Abilities:<br />
    Yazoo is quick and agile, swift enough to both evade Cloud's attacks with the Fusion Swords and to momentarily step on the blades to leap away. Yazoo usually fights from a distance while shooting opponents up with the Velvet nightmare, relying on his agility to dodge blows in close-range. Yazoo is an extremely skilled marksman, able to shoot Cloud's goggles off his face at point-blank range while only scratching Cloud's face. His long-ranged and agile preferences compliment Loz's hand-to-hand power tactics when they fight together. <br />
    Development:<br />
    Yazoo's long hair was a significant difficulty to animate due to its layers and length, and along with Sephiroth his hair was animated by hand during fight scenes because a simulator would not be accurate enough. The staff wanted to make Yazoo stand out on his own without being too much like Kadaj or Loz, and gave him his unique appearance from either of them as part of this. Despite having a cool personality, Yazoo was made to banter with Loz to provide comic relief from the film's generally dark tone.
