Description

Kefka cares nothing about anyone or anything but himself and he finds no greater joy in life than in inflicting suffering and death unto others. He has no long-reaching goal for his destructive actions, destruction itself is the goal. He manipulates the emotions of others and will readily lie without hesitation, but his purpose for doing this is again usually nothing but his own amusement in tormenting them. Kefka's need to inflict suffering drives him to continuously greater heights to sate his urges, culminating with the ruination of the entire world and the deaths of countless creatures.

Confronted by the party at the end of the game, Kefka reveals the ultimate revelation he has achieved—that life is meaningless . All things that live will die, everything people care about will be destroyed, and everything they achieved will be forgotten. Thus Kefka declares that struggling to continue living in the face of death is pointless and stupid, and people should accept their fates and surrender themselves to destruction at his hands. When the party refutes his claims with their personal reasons for living, Kefka flies into a rage and declares that he will destroy those reasons, and the concepts of love and hope are worthless and he will destroy them as well.

Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy grant a more tragic insight into this mindset: Kefka is so insane and twisted by Magitek experimentation that he is incapable of understanding love and hope and only feels joy when destroying, and his actions are born out of a continuously escalating need to satisfy destructive urges that are never fully sated. He eventually resorts to destroying himself to see if that will finally be enough, self-destructing in a mournful cackle.

Kefka is flamboyant and childish. He is shorttempered and flies into rages at the slightest provocation and has no self-control or restraint. He cracks dark jokes about the atrocities he commits and frequently breaks into hysterical laughter. He is a narcissist who enjoys crossdressing and admiring his own appearance in mirrors. His Ultimania profiles state he enjoys playing with dolls and hates General Leo , who is a morally upstanding soldier.[note 1] Though he enjoys hurting others, Kefka cannot stand to be hurt himself and the sight of his own blood sends him into a violent rage.
