Dyne (Final Fantasy VII)

Dyne is a non-player character in Final Fantasy VII. He was best friends with Barret, and they lived in Corel. Dyne is the father of Marlene. When Shin-Ra, Inc. wanted to build a Mako Reactor near the town, Dyne originally opposed it, but let them do it anyway. When there was an explosion at the reactor, the Shin-Ra took revenge on the town of Corel, and burned it down, killing his wife, and Marlene, or so he thought. When they they tried to escape from Shin-Ra, they fired at Dyne and Barret, causing Dyne to fall, and Barret held on to his hand, the Shin-Ra soldiers fired again, right at Barret and Dyne's hands, causing Dyne to fall, destroying his and Barret's hand. Thinking his friend was dead, Barret adopts Marlene. Dyne, like Barret, has his hand replaced by a machine gun. Dyne was thought to be dead, until Cloud and his friends discovered people being killed in the Gold Saucer. A survivor told them that they had been shot by a man with a machine gun for an arm. They are arrested and thrown into the Desert Prison. The party is told that they need the Boss, Dyne's permission to get out of the prison. Barret meets up with Dyne, who in grief over his family's death, states that he wants to destroy everything, and fights Barret. After Barret wins, he tells him that Marlene is still alive, but nonetheless, Dyne claims his hands are too stained, and he commits suicide by jumping off a cliff.
