Palmer

Palmer is a supporting antagonist in the Final Fantasy VII series, appearing as a minor antagonist in Final Fantasy VII and having an expanded role in Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. He is also featured in other entries of the extended universe, including Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- and Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. Palmer is the executive director of the Shinra Electric Power Company's Space and Aeronautics division, a department whose funding has been suspended. He is portrayed as childish and incompetent, lacking the knowledge of space required for his position and having no say in company matters. He is also known for excessively drinking tea, often with large amounts of butter. Palmer is fought as a boss twice in the series: once in Rocket Town while trying to steal the Tiny Bronco, and again in Corel piloting the Anuran Suppressor mech. Palmer is known for his comical actions and laughable escape attempts, and while he is not a challenging boss, his character is highly memorable. Despite being a Shinra executive, he is shown to be inept and naive, often being ridiculed by other characters.
