Kefka Palazzo is the main antagonist of Final Fantasy VI. The court mage of the Gestahlian Empire, Kefka was their first experimental Magitek Knight, giving him the ability to use magic. However, the process was not yet perfected and the infusion damaged Kefka's mind, transforming him into a maniacal harlequin with an unquenchable thirst for blood. Chaotic and unpredictable in his drive to controll all realities. Kefka eventually turned on Emperor Gestahl and seized control of the Warring Triad.
