Barret Wallace
Job: Leader of AVALANCHE
Age: 35
Weapon: Gun-arm
Height: 6' 4"
Birthdate: December 15
Birthplace: Corel
Hometown: North Corel
Blood Type: O
Worthy Party Member: No, not really
First Appearance: Midgar Mako Reactor
The leader and founder of the Anti-Shinra group Avalanche. Barret was tutored by an astronomer in the Cosmo Canyon where he learned about life and about the planet. He now tries to do whatever possible to keep Shinra from destroying the planet. He blames himself for the destruction of his village, when in fact it was caused by The Shinra reactor. In that same incident Barret lost his arm and replaced it with an artificial one. He is often angry and seeks revenge on Shinra for the death of his wife. He now lives for his daughter Marlene. He is a good character to use near the beginning of the game, but later on I would rather have Vincent or Cid in my party. His low magic ability doesn't help much either.

Catastrophe
Find: North Corel
You must win the North Corel huge materia scenario, and then talk to the woman in the housse on the west hill. She'll give you Catastrophe. You must win the scenario, otherwise you will not be able to get Catastrophe. This one is fairly easy to win, so it's not a hard limit break to gain.
