Determined to be a SOLDIER, he heads off towards Midgar.

He spent all his time on training and missions as a SOLDIER 2nd Class.

In order to conclude the war, he joined the dispatch unit together with Angeal to replace Genesis, whose whereabouts had become unknown. He linked up with Sephiroth here.

He visited the birthplace of the missing Genesis together with Tseng for the purpose of investigation.

Following the end of the Wutai War, he was promoted to 1st Class. He fell from the plate during a battle to protect the city and encountered Aerith in the Slum Church.

Dispatched to investigate the Mako mining facility, he encountered Cloud, an average ShinRa trooper who had been called to the same mission.

Together with the Turks, he took part in the operation to destroy AVALANCHE's secret hideout. He took care of his fellow SOLDIERs, Sebastian and Yishay, as their death approached.

In the midst of the battle to protect the city, he was reunited with Cloud, who had been tasked to rescue the citizens.

In order to launch a full scale investigation of the Mako Reactor at which monsters had sprung forth in large quantities, he visited the Nibel Mako Reactor together with Sephiroth and Cloud.

He tried to stop Sephiroth, who was running wildly and had reduced the village to ashes, but was instead defeated by him at the Mako Reactor.

Captured under Hojo's instructions, he became a sample in the Sephiroth Copy Project in the basement of the ShinRa Manor.

Taking Cloud, who was experiencing Mako poisoning, he fled from the basement of the ShinRa Manor.

With Midgar in sight, the army caught up with them and he was shot to death while protecting Cloud.

In order to help Cloud recover, he assured him from the Lifestream together with Aerith.
