Supporting Characters, P - Z

	Palmer - The rotund Chairman of the Space Program for the Shinra Electric Power Company. Along with Rufus, Palmer's appearance in Rocket Town tricks Cid into believing that the Space Program is being restarted, and that the Shinra No. 26 may launch again. It is during this visit to the town that the party fights him, a battle which ends with Palmer getting hit by one of the Shinra's own trucks. Palmer survives this accident to later launch the Huge Materia into space with the Shinra No. 26. Boss Stats: Palmer
	President Shinra - The founder and President of the Shinra Electric Power Company, and father of Rufus Shinra, President Shinra is a cold-hearted businessman who cares about money and power above all else. He makes his first appearance during AVALANCHE's attempted sabotage of Midgar's Reactor No. 5, and later approves of Heidegger's plan to fell the Sector Seven plate. He meets his end during Jenova's disappearance from the Shinra Building, when he is fatally stabbed by Sephiroth, who leaves the Masamune sticking up from the President's back. Compilation Appearances: President Shinra is featured in Before Crisis, and is one of several characters who appear in "Maiden Who Travels the Planet".
	Pricilla - A little girl in the small town under Junon who plays at the beach with her friend, Mr. Dolphin. It is during one such playtime that Cloud and his friends rescue her from the monster Bottomswell. After the fight, Cloud administers CPR to Pricilla, and she fully recovers by the following day. From then on, she feels indebted to Cloud, and wishes to marry him.
	Reeve - The Chairman of Urban Development for the Shinra Electric Power Company and controller of Cait Sith. Among his responsibilities is the construction and maintenance of Midgar. His first appearance is in President Shinra's office, where he voices his disapproval of the plan to fell the Sector Seven plate; through this scene and others, he is revealed to be the most consciencetious of the current Shinra employees.       Via Cait Sith, Reeve eventually betrays the Shinra Company (additional information can be found on the Cait Sith page). Compilation Appearances: Reeve is one of the main characters in Dirge of Cerberus and "On the Way to a Smile: Case of Denzel". He also appears in Before Crisis, and his voice can be heard during a scene in Advent Children.
	Reno - A nightstick-wielding member of the Turks who has an easygoing air about him. Reno is first encountered after Cloud's fall into Aeris' church, where the Turk is on a mission to capture the Ancient for Shinra. He can be seen several times afterwards; some of these appearances include the Sector 7 Pillar (where he sets the self-destruct sequence), Junon (first in a diner with Tseng and Elena, later on at the Submarine Dock, where he sics Carry Armor on the party), and Gongaga (where he asks Rude who he likes). Speaking of that last bit, unlike the rest of his comrades in the Turks, Reno has no known romantic preoccupations.      The last place the party sees him is in the Midgar train tunnels, where they're given the option to fight him, Rude, and Elena. Boss Stats: Reno (Sector 7 Pillar) | Reno (Gongaga) | Reno (Sunken Gelnika) | Reno (Winding Tunnel) Compilation Appearances: Reno is prominently featured in both Advent Children and Before Crisis, and also appears in Crisis Core and Last Order.

This tall Turk, who fights with his fists, can be encountered in a number of places, including the Shinra Building (where he and Tseng capture your party), the Mythril Mines, Junon, Wutai, Rocket Town, and the Sunken Gelnika (with Reno). In Gongaga, Rude tells Reno that he likes Elena, but Reno believes he likes Tifa.      The last place the party sees him is in the Midgar train tunnels, where they're given the option to fight him, Reno, and Elena. Boss Stats: Rude (Gongaga) | Rude (Rocket Town) | Rude (Sunken Gelnika) | Rude (Winding Tunnel) Compilation Appearances: Rude is prominently featured in both Advent Children and Before Crisis, and also appears in Crisis Core and Last Order.
	Rufus Shinra - The Vice-President of the Shinra Electric Power Company, and President Shinra's son. When the elder Shinra dies, Rufus takes over the presidency, citing in a speech that he intends to run the company differently than his father—with fear, rather than with money. Rufus and his underlings follow Sephiroth around the world, making time to hold a special Welcoming Ceremony for the new President in Junon. After Meteor is summoned, Rufus leads the company in fighting back against Weapon and Meteor itself, and makes plans to go after Sephiroth. However, some of his plans are cut short as he is consumed in a fireball coming from Diamond Weapon, which engulfs the Shinra Building's top floors. Boss Stats: Rufus Compilation Appearances: Rufus is featured in Advent Children and Before Crisis.
	Scarlet - The Chairwoman of Weapon Development for the Shinra Electric Power Company, who has a distinctive "Kya ha ha" laugh.

Seldom seen without Heidegger, she perishes along with him in the Proud Clod. Compilation Appearances: Scarlet can be seen in Before Crisis.
Image not available.	Seto - Red XIII's father. Although Red believed that Seto had abandoned him and his mother during the Gi War, Bugenhagen shows him that, in fact, Seto had left to defend a vunerable part of Cosmo Canyon. While guarding this area, the Gi's poisonous arrows turned Seto to stone, and he has remained in that part of the Canyon ever since.
	Shake - The warrior on the second floor of Wutai's Pagoda of the Five Gods. His battle form is that of a Skeeskee. Boss Stats: Shake
	Shera - A technician who resides in Rocket Town with Cid Highwind. She worked on the Shinra No. 26, but at a sluggish pace; it was due to her prolonged safety check during the rocket's final countdown that Cid aborted the launch. This launch was never rescheduled, and Cid remained mad with her ever since. Later on, after the Shinra No. 26 launches with the aim of destroying Meteor, it's revealed that the tank Shera had been inspecting during the original launch had been malfunctioning after all, and it explodes, leaving Cid trapped under a giant chunk of the tank. Shera helps the others to free Cid, and the latter apologizes to her. Compilation Appearances: Although Shera is never seen in person, Cid's new airship in Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus is named after her. Also in Dirge of Cerberus, it's implied that Cid and Shera had gotten married. She also appears in the short story "Barret", which is included with the US limited edition version of AC.
	Shinra Manager - A typical Shinra employee, who works in the Shinra Building. He can be seen on one of Midgar's trains, complaining about the other passengers on his morning commute, and later in Costa del Sol, where he goofs off at the lighthouse.

	Tseng - The leader of the Turks, Tseng has been employed with the Shinra for several years, taking on missions such as capturing Aeris, whom he happens to have a crush on.

While there, Tseng talks to—and is stabbed by—Sephiroth. Tseng heads back to the Temple's entrance, where Aeris cries over him and he gives Cloud the Keystone. Throughout the rest of the game, Tseng is not seen again. Compilation Appearances: Tseng is prominently featured in Before Crisis, Last Order, and Crisis Core, and plays a small role in Advent Children.

After the Nibelheim incident, Zack and Cloud were locked up in the Shinra Mansion's basement for a long time where they were experimented on. Zack escaped, bringing the comatose Cloud along with him; during their journey, Zack decided that they should become mercenaries. The two made it as far as the outskirts of Midgar before Zack was fatally shot by Shinra troops. Compilation Appearances: Zack is one of the main characters in Last Order and the main character in Crisis Core. He also appears in Advent Children and Before Crisis.
	Zangan - A martial arts master with students all over the world, including the teenaged Tifa Lockheart. He was present in Nibelheim during the incident five years ago, and was the one who rescued Tifa from the Mako reactor on Mt. Nibel. From there, he sought medical help for her, and found it in Midgar, where he left her. Five years later, the party can find a letter from Zangan addressed to Tifa by her piano; attached to this letter is her Level 4 Limit Break manual. Compilation Appearances: Zangan can be seen in Last Order.
