We all know about the three Magitek Empire Generals:
1) General Kefka Palazzo who wants to gain power and become more crazier, which is why he commits all sorts of evil for himself.
2) General Leo Christophe who wants to be honourable and give the empire a human face to relate to.
And,
3) General Celes Chere who is in between the two.
Then there is Emperor Gestahl who wants to gain power and become more evil, which is why he commits all sorts of evil for himself and his empire.
However, there are two questions on my mind that are to do with Celes Chere, as she has done one heinous act that makes her more on the same lines with Emperor Gestahl.
Here are the following questions:
1) Why did General Celes Chere commit a heinous atrocity in Maranda?
And,
2) What was her motive behind committing such an evil act?
I just don't understand how someone kind, who is in between General Leo Christophe, General Kefka Palazzo, and Emperor Gestahl, would commit such an evil act of terror. That would ruin the reputation of General Celes Chere, and Locke Cole would never forgive her, and even Lola doesn't forgive her for what she did to her boyfriend (that was enlisted into the Magitek Empire, and then killed when Kefka took over the world).
I just need Final Fantasy Fans to help me make sense of Celes's state of mind at the Maranda Atrocity.
