| abstract | - Kefka serves as Emperor Gestahl's Court Mage and was the first volunteer for an experimental Magitek infusion, under the supervision of Cid. The process was still flawed, and although Kefka gained the ability to wield magic, it warped his mind and made him into the nihilistic psychopath he is during the course of the game. Kefka forces a Slave Crown upon Terra and uses her to lead an attack on Narshe to claim the frozen Esper there. When she escapes Imperial control, he pursues Terra to the kingdom of Figaro, setting the castle ablaze as she, Locke and King Edgar flee. During a siege on the Doma kingdom, Kefka grows impatient with General Leo and poisons Doma's drinking water, resulting in mass casualties and a swift victory for the Empire. Citing the poisoning of Doma, Gestahl eventually has Kefka imprisoned, but a plot twist later reveals this to be a ploy to gain the Returners' trust. Kefka later goes to Thamasa to kill the Espers congregated there. When General Leo tries to intervene, Kefka kills him. Using the power of the Espers, Kefka helps Gestahl raise the Floating Continent holding the Warring Triad, statues that were once the three gods of magic. When the party confront Kefka and Gestahl on the continent, Gestahl freezes them (except Celes), ordering her to kill her friends to show her loyalty to the Empire, but she in turn stabs Kefka instead. Enraged, Kefka knocks her aside and orders the statues to strike down Gestahl, unceremoniously booting him off the Floating Continent to his death. He then moves the Statues from their delicate balance, unleashing enough raw magical energy to reshape the face of the planet. Imbued with the power of the statues, Kefka becomes the god of the ruined world he created, using the statues to forge a massive tower of random debris to serve as his headquarters. Kefka smites the millions who refuse to worship him with his "Light of Judgment", a beam of incinerating light capable of cutting fissures into the planet's surface. At the game's conclusion, confronted by the protagonists, Kefka finally reveals his nihilistic motivations, explaining that all life is meaningless, and that the lives of mortal humans are purposeless. Thus, he proclaims that his new goal is to eradicate everything. The party reject his claims, citing examples of meaning in their personal lives, causing Kefka to go berserk. He turns his Light of Judgment on the World of Ruin one last time as the party attacks him, and reveals himself in a robed "god"-form with six wings. He is ultimately dispatched, the world shifts back as it once was, and the power of magic vanishes.
- Kefka Palazzo es el antagonista principal de Final Fantasy VI. Es el primer soldado Magitek según se conoce en la historia, que sirve como mago de la corte del Emperador Gestahl y se limita a cumplir sus órdenes al principio del juego, pero "a sus espaldas", ataca varias ciudades y se hace con el poder de varios Espers. Finalmente, Kefka derroca a Gestahl y consigue el poder de la Tríade Marcial, convirtiéndose en el dios de la magia. Mientras que los anteriores antagonistas de Final Fantasy aparecían como personas despiadadas, frías y calculadoras, Kefka es maníaco y destructivo. Es, junto con Sefirot, el villano más reconocido de la saga, y destaca por sus peculiares frases, el enfrentamiento final contra su forma de ángel (que más tarde se convertiría en un clásico más de la saga) y su odio hacia la vida y la existencia. Pero, sin duda, el rasgo más distintivo de Kefka es su risa, que se repite varias veces a lo largo del juego. Su extraña personalidad sería provocada por el descontrol que trajo la experimentación de Magicita en él.
- Kefka Palazzo è l'antagonista principale di Final Fantasy VI. Il suo nome giapponese, pur essendo pronunciato in modo uguale, è scritto Cefca Palazzo. Crudele, spietato e disumano stratega militare, è stato la prima cavia degli esperimenti che crearono i Cavalieri Magitek, ma a causa di ciò ha perso il lume della ragione, ed è trattato più come un mago di corte che come un vero generale dell'esercito. Pur essendo al servizio dell'Imperatore Gestahl, la sua mente instabile lo rende pericoloso anche per i suoi alleati, e i suoi interessi divergono progressivamente da quelli del suo capo man mano che la trama del gioco avanza. Kefka, insieme a Sephiroth, viene solitamente descritto come il cattivo più popolare della saga, ed è considerato dalla critica uno dei più grandi antagonisti videoludici. Molti cattivi futuri della serie riprenderanno, in chiave differente, numerose idee e concetti alla base del personaggio. Soprannominato dagli appassionati "clown psicopatico", compare anche in Dissidia Final Fantasy e Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, oltre ad alcuni spin-off minori della serie. Contrariamente a molti cattivi di Final Fantasy, generalmente distaccati, spietati e fissi sui loro obiettivi, Kefka è folle e distruttivo. È noto per le sue battute taglienti, la sua magnifica trasformazione finale (grazie a lui diventata una sorta di tradizione nella serie) e il suo atteggiamento sociopatico e misantropo, oltre, naturalmente, al suo aspetto iconico ed unico di clown. Il tratto più caratteristico di Kefka rimane senza dubbio la sua risata, realizzata appositamente per il gioco: sguaiata e maniacale, è stata spesso riproposta in altri media, ed è uno degli effetti sonori più iconici del mondo videoludico.

Wurden frühere Antagonisten als emotionslose, kalkulierende Bösewichte mit schier uneinholbarem Stärkevorsprung und nahezu unendlicher Macht dargestellt, ist Kefka das komplette Gegenteil. Angefangen bei seinem Erscheinungsbild als ein grell geschminkter und in bunten Gewändern gekleideter Harlekin oder Clown, wodurch er auf den ersten Blick überhaupt nicht bedrohlich wirkt. Hinzu kommt sein typisches Verhalten, das erst im Lauf der Zeit immer fragwürdiger und bösartiger wird, aber am Anfang noch recht harmlos und komödiantisch erscheint. Er lässt es sich nicht nehmen, sowohl seine Untergebenen Soldaten als auch seine Widersacher bei jeder sich bietenden Gelegenheit zu verhöhnen. Außerdem ist er ein Feigling und flieht aus fast allen Kämpfen oder setzt Illusionen ein. Er stellt den bislang untypischsten wie psychopathischsten Antagonisten dar, der tatsächlich Spaß und Vergnügen an sinnloser wie großflächiger Gewalt und Zerstörung findet.

Aikaisempien sarjan pelien vihollisten ollessa etäisiä, kylmiä, häikäilemättömiä ja selkeästi käyttäytyviä hahmoja, Kefka on äänekäs, esilläoleva, lyhyttemperamenttinen, tuhoamisviettiään totteleva maaninen kaistapää. Ainoa sarjassa koskaan esiintyvä vihollinen joka voi millään tavalla kilpailla fanien suosiosta Kefkan kanssa on Final Fantasy VII:n Sephiroth. Kefka tunnetaan parhaiten hänen kuolemattomista lausahduksistaan, ulkonäöstään niin omana itsenään kuin Magian Jumalana ja hänen sosiopaattisuutta hipovasta vihastaan kaikkea kohtaan. Hänen tunnistettavin piirteensä on kuitenkin selkäpiitä karmiva nauru, joka kuullaan pelin aikana useampaan otteeseen.
