Main Characters
Rufus Shinra (Ex-ShinRa President)
Reno (The Turks)
Rude (The Turks)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children chooses to focus on the events of Cloud Strife primarily, but other characters do also have prominent roles throughout the film. Rufus Shinra
makes a rather surprising return as a Geostima sufferer who is wheel-chair bound and many fans before the films release hypothesised that this was infact Sephiroth.
Aside from these two, Tifa Lockhart, Vincent Valentine, Rude and Reno are the four characters which receive more limelight than the rest and have their own fight scenes away from
the rest of the action - as well as more dialogue.
Villains
Sephiroth
Bahamut SIN (Summon)

They are searching for something which they hope will bring back Sephiroth. During their quest for this, they are involved in numerous fights and at one point, they even use the summon Bahamut SIN.
