Sears is a character in Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. He is a powerful field leader of AVALANCHE and second strongest member of the organization in physical terms (second only to Elfé), he had excellent hand-to-hand combat skills and often took charge of executing operations and formulating battle strategies. Strength-wise, Sears can easily defeat Reno and Rude alone, but cannot defeat them when they work together. His language is very course and vulgar, often using curse words.
Storyline
Template:Spoilers Sears's parents were killed by Shin-Ra, and so he dedicated himself to destroying them. He became the leader of an army of one-hundred bandits. One day, Elfé and Fuhito were walking down the road, when they were confronted by Sears and his army. Elfé managed to easily defeat them, and gave Sears the opportunity to join in AVALANCHE. He accepted.
Sears became completely devoted to Elfé, though he and Fuhito were decidedly not fond of one another. Despite their differences, the three worked together to destroy Shin-Ra, attacking in numerous places and wrecking havoc across the Planet. However, Elfé slowly became weaker due to the Zirconiade Materia embedded in her hand. Fuhito did not seem to care, so Sears left AVALANCHE to try to save Elfé with the Turks, lead by Elfé's father Verdot. Together they try to find the four support Materias for Elfé's Zirconiade Materia so as to save her and the world from Fuhito's insane plans. He eventually sacrifises himself to save Elfé, and seems to be dead.
