The history for Zack. I was going to do Sephiroth too, but the Zack one took long enough on his own.

ZACK FAIR: He grew up in a town called Gongaga. Other than a Mako Reactor, there wasn't much out there. Fast forward a few years. Zack became a SOLDIER, and quickly moved up the ranks to First Class. It was always one of his dreams. Even as a First, he admired a man named Angeal, who was like a mentor to him, and his best friend. They went on many missions together until Angeal left SOLDIER. In one fight that Angeal and Zack got into, Zack was knocked clean out of the Shinra building and into a flower filled church in the slums, where he met a girl named Aerith. They hit it off immediately. Zack began to visit her regularly between his assignments. Usually it was Sephiroth who called him away from his assignments. Both Zack and the SOLDIER commander slowly began to form a strange friendship. On one assignment Zack went on with his Turk friend Tseng and two infantrymen, Zack became acquainted with Cloud. As Zack continued on his hunt for Genesis, another ex-SOLDIER, he continuously clashed with Angeal. Eventually, Zack was forced to kill his best friend, because Angeal fused with about four monsters and forced Zack to kill him, because he believed that what he was, a person created from experiments with Jenova cells and Mako energy, made him a monster, and stripped him of his honor. He gave Zack the Buster Sword, which Zack carries as a reminder of his old friend, and a symbol of both of their dreams and honor. Fast forward. Zack and Sephiroth, along with Cloud and another infantryman, went on a mission in Nibelhiem, Cloud's hometown. There, they inspected a Mako Reactor. As they did this, Genesis appeared and told Sephiroth of the horrible experiments that had created him. Sephiroth, taken off guard and slightly sickened, shut himself in the Shinra Manor basement for six days. On the seventh, he emerged. He burned down Nibelhiem, and killed the townspeople, which included a girl named Tifa's parents. Tifa gave chase and followed Sephiroth to the reactor, and Zack and Cloud hurry to her rescue. Well...Zack gets there first, but same difference. Zack confronts Sephiroth, and, needless to say, gets the hell beat out of him. Then, while Sephiroth was preoccupied with Jenova, a calamity that fell from the sky, and Ancient, and the being who's cells were used in the experiments that created Sephiroth, Cloud stabbed him with the Buster sword. Sephiroth takes Jenova's head(yes, I really mean he decapitates her), stabs Cloud through the middle with the Masumune, and Cloud somehow threw Sephiroth into the rector core. ((There are also versions where Sephiroth jumps in of his own free will.)) But Cloud is weak from bloodloss, and passes out. Zack and Cloud are both taken to Shinra manor, where they are experimented upon with Jenova cells. Zack has a high tolerance level for the cells, and Cloud has a very weak tolerance. When Zack is finally able to break out, he frees Cloud as well and they go on the run. Zack tracks Genesis to the ruins of a town called Banora. There, of course, they have an epic battle and Zack wins. When he reemerges, he finds a monster, with a letter with it. It's a note from Aerith. It says that it's been four years, and that she hoped her eighty-ninth and final letter reaches Zack, and that he's okay. Afterwards, he takes Cloud and they hitch a ride in a truck and start towards Midgar, where the Shinra building is located, as are the slums in which Aerith lives. On the way, though, they are attacked by the Shinra army, which has been tailing them. Zack hides Cloud among some rocks at the side of the road, and Zack goes head on into the fray, Buster sword swinging, even though he knew it was no use. Eventually, even though he cut down massive numbers, he was finally overcome, and shot fatally, even though he was already dying. Cloud manages to crawl over to Zack after the battle(remember, he had a very low tolerance for the Jenova cells), the Soldier First Class gave Cloud his Buster Sword as his final act, telling him that he would live for the two of them, and be his living legacy. Cloud flashes back to all the good times he's had with Zack as Zack died. Cloud stands and walks away from his body, dragging the Buster sword behind him as he goes. Zack's spirit sees Angeal's spirit coming for him, and he muses over things. His last thought in the game is 'Hey, would you say...I became a hero?'
