Angeal Hewley

Angeal Hewley, the First Class SOLDIER who is often in action together with Zack Fair. His true character is stoic and serious, and he gets along well with the 1st Classes, Sephiroth and Genesis. He a mentor to members in SOLDIER and is also the the mentor of Crisis Core's main antagonist Zack Fair throughout the game. He owns the enormous Buster Sword, but rarely uses it for some reason and claims that it would be "a waste". In the new trailer, it appears he does not go on the mission to find Genesis with Zack and Sephiroth leading Sephiroth to question his loyalty, especially when Angeal decides to aid Genesis. Angeal bears two white right wings on his back which seems to cause him some uneasiness as he considers it the trait of a monster. Whether or not these wings connect him with either Sephiroth or Genesis is not known.
