Red XIII is a mysterious creature who looks threatening, but is really very kind and gentle, with an intelligence level far beyond that of any human.  He was raised by Bugenhagen in Cosmo Canyon, until he was captured by Shinra's science division as an experiment.  He was rescued by Cloud from Hojo's laboratory inside the Shinra building, where he had been tattooed with the markings of XIII, showing that he was the 13th of 13 experimental samples.  He wants to save the planet, which is the reason he joins Cloud.  He is a very useful character to have in your party when you get him, and remains fairly useful throughout the game.  His attacks are powerful, as is his magic ability.
