Heidegger

Heidegger is a major antagonist in the Final Fantasy VII series, serving as the executive director of the Shinra Electric Power Company's Public Security Forces and a trusted right-hand man to President Shinra. He appears as a minor supporting antagonist in Final Fantasy VII, with an expanded role in Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. He also features in other entries of the extended universe, including Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- and a mention in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. Heidegger is an arrogant, cruel, and vindictive man with a bad temper and a willingness to sacrifice others for his own ends. He commands the most powerful division within Shinra, but is not particularly competent, lacking structure and organization. He is known for his trademark “Gya haa haa haa!” laugh, which often annoys Rufus Shinra. In Final Fantasy VII, he fights alongside Scarlet piloting the giant robot Proud Clod. Heidegger is portrayed as an incompetent leader, treating his subordinates as disposable pawns, and often lashes out at them after being scolded by Rufus. Despite this, he holds a high position within Shinra and is involved in many significant events.
