Other Turks

Veld/Verdot

The head of the Department of Administrative Research, also known as the Turks. He is a man who does not tolerate failure. Though most of those under his command are intimidated by him, he commands a great deal of repect from his Turks, especially Tseng. Originally from the small town of Kalm, he had a wife and daughter whom he believed were killed when the town was razed due to a misinterpretation of his own commands (in truth, his daughter, Felicia, survived the attack, and is later revealed to be the leader of Avalanche, now using the name Elfé). Despite his severity, he cares deeply for his Turks, and also for his daugter. When he learns she is alive, he defects from Shinra.



Tseng

Second in command of the Turks, and their field leader. In spite of his youth, Tseng rose through the ranks very quickly. He is, for the most part, a calm, polite man, though he occasionally has trouble controlling his temper. He greatly admires Veld, and is exceedingly loyal to him, even going so far as to lead the other Turks into insubordination when he is ordered to assassinate Veld after the Turk leader defects from the company.



Reno

A member of the Department of Administrative Research, otherwise known as the Turks. Laid-back, and something of a slob, Reno nevertheless takes great pride in his role as a Turk. Though unprofessional at times, he is highly skilled... his most notable aspect in battle is his speed. He has been good friends with Rude for some time (and has just been assigned as his partner), and is the only person who can get the more stoic Turk to socialize.



Rude

One of Shinra's Turks, and partner of Reno. Rude is a very quiet person who doesn't care to socialize much, prefering to keep to himself. Beneath that almost shy exterior, however, he is a fierce and powerful fighter. He is also very protective of his colleagues, especially Reno, with whom he is close friends. Rude is almost never seen without his sunglasses.



Vincent Valentine

A former Turk, and an old friend of Veld. Vincent fell victim to betrayal by Hojo several years ago, resulting in his being shot and subsequently experimented on by the Shinra scientist. The Turks find him in his coffin in the basement of the Shinra Mansion at Nibelheim.
