Yazoo

Appearance Like the other embodiments of Sephiroth's will, Yazoo has green cat-like eyes and silver hair; his hair is long and layered, extending partway down his back. Yazoo is the tallest of his brothers and has a lean yet muscular build.

Yazoo wears a long black leather coat, boots, and trousers. He wears his coat zipped to his neck and the lower half zipped up above his knees, though he opens it up when riding his motorcycle. The image of a single wing is sewn on the back of his coat as an allusion to Sephiroth. He wears black leather gloves and shoulder guards with straps crossing over his torso. He fights using a Velvet Nightmare handgun and carries it in a holster on his lower back. Because of his height, hair, and outfit, Yazoo resembles Sephiroth the most of the three Remnants. Personality Yazoo embodies Sephiroth's allure and cool personality. Calm, soft-spoken, and reserved, Yazoo has few facial expressions and rarely shows strong emotions, limited to moments such as when Reno insults Jenova, or when Cloud Strife slices apart his Velvet Nightmare gun. Despite his aloof demeanor, Yazoo's more playful side shows when bantering with his brothers, particularly when light-heartedly teasing Loz, or maliciously taunting the Turks. Yazoo is somewhat more expressive and sadistic when fighting, often coldly smirking and quietly laughing. He displays crazed excitement during his takedown of the Turks' helicopter before recomposing himself, which hints at a shade of instability. Etymology "Yazoo stream" is a geological term referring to a small river that runs alongside, and eventually joins, a much larger river. This likely refers to Yazoo's existence as a part of Sephiroth, although it may also refer to his eventual dissolution into the lifestream. Yazoo is a skilled marksman, and usually fights from a distance. He is still competent in fighting in close-quarters and, in such situations, favors using kicks. Yazoo relies on his agility to dodge blows in close range, being swift enough to both evade Cloud's attacks with the Fusion Swords and to momentarily step on the blades to leap away. Due to his connection to the negative Lifestream, Yazoo can summon hordes of Shadow Creepers.

Story Remnantbirth Yazoo's "birth".

Yazoo manifested within the North Crater as the Turks were collecting Jenova's remains. Two other remnants of Sephiroth manifested alongside him, Kadaj and Loz. They defeated Tseng and Elena, before deciding to locate Jenova's head, which the remaining Turks had escaped with. The trio subsequently tortured the two Turks they had caught for Jenova's location before heading to the City of the Ancients, which they decided make their base-of-operations.

Yazoo and his brothers traveled to the Midgar wasteland and attacked Cloud while he was out riding his motorcycle, believing he might knows where Jenova's remains were. While Kadaj called one of the Turks over the phone, Yazoo and Loz fought Cloud with their Shadow Creepers and interrogated him about Jenova. They gained an advantage and Yazoo shot Cloud at point-blank, though it was deflected by Cloud's goggles, only giving him a minor injury. Before their Shadow Creepers could overwhelm Cloud, Kadaj recalled the monsters, signaling Yazoo and Loz to retreat.

While Kadaj and Loz went elsewhere to search for Jenova, Yazoo headed to Edge and rounded up dozens of children infected with Geostigma, promising to help cure them. In actuality, the children were needed for a Jenova reunion and Yazoo took them to the Forgotten City, where Kadaj took control of them and activate the latent "reunion instinct" in their Jenova cells. When Cloud arrived to save the children, Yazoo and Loz easily overwhelmed him, but Vincent Valentine saved him and took him to safety. The remnants and the children returned to Edge, where Yazoo and Loz attempted to destroy a monument to Meteor, where they believed Rufus had hidden Jenova's remains. While Kadaj met with Rufus, Yazoo and Loz were interrupted by Reno and Rude of the Turks. As Kadaj summoned Bahamut SIN to terrorize the city, Yazoo battled and easily defeated Reno. After Cloud and his friends defeated Bahamut SIN, Rufus revealed Jenova's remains to Kadaj, who retrieved them.

The remnants drove onto the highways into Midgar to flee from Cloud, and Yazoo and Loz attacked him to stall him. After steering Cloud onto a second highway from the one Kadaj took, a high-speed battle ensued, both on their motorcycles and in the air above them. Reno and Rude arrived via helicopter to assist Cloud and destroy the section of highway the remnants were driving on. This created a ramp for Yazoo to launch his motorcycle off, passing through the helicopter's opened section, shooting off the control stick from under Reno's hand and knocking Rude to its outer edge, giving a high-pitched insane laugh all the while. Cloud took on both Yazoo and Loz with his sword later, forcing them to share a motorcycle and to lose their primary weapons. The Turks caught up in a second helicopter and used bombs to seemingly kill Yazoo and Loz. They survived and reappeared shortly after Cloud defeated Sephiroth and shot at him, wanting to take Cloud down with them. Already dissolving due to Aerith Gainsborough's healing rain, Yazoo and Loz used many materia to create an large explosion to kill all three of them, but only succeeding in hasting their deaths and returning to the lifestream. Height about 6'1 and age 18+? Kadaj and his group are the Remnants of Sephiroth, beings born from Sephiroth's scattered spirit within the Lifestream (sort of like Hakudoushi and the infant from InuYasha). The three never had Geostigma (hence the kidnapping of children with Geostigma), they are only "living puppets" used by Sephiroth in his plan to be reborn and takeover the planet with Geostigma.

Yazoo is the "middle child" out of three Remnants of Sephiroth (Loz is the oldest and Kadaj is the youngest), and is the calmest of the trio. He possess the aspects of Sephiroth's enigmatic allure and taunting opponents during battle. Yazoo also has a habit of sarcastically criticizing others, even Loz. It was Yazoo who gathered the GeoStigma infected children, their "Bloodhounds" for finding Jenova's head.Yazoo has a gun blade-style firearm called The Velvet Nightmare, which is a gun with a blade connected to it. He and Loz usually fought together as they battled Reno and Rude, and double-teamed Cloud on three occasions. After Sephiroth's demise, Yazoo and Loz began to fade from exposure to the Lifestream-induced rain caused by Aerith. However, using the Materia in their bodies as an anchor, the two intended in vain to take Cloud with them in an explosion of excessive materia atop Shin-Ra Corp building.

Technically, Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz can only be two years old, because they were created after the battle, two years before the start of the movie after Sephiroth's demise.
