Kefka is the primary villain in the Squaresoft video game Final Fantasy VI (known as Final Fantasy III in the U.S.). Kefka is an insane, egomaniacal villain who starts out as a mere lackey but eventually acquires godlike powers. He is perhaps best remembered for his dedicated sound effect, a shrill maniacal cackle.

Kefka, as a character, has had a profound impact on the Final Fantasy series as well as role-playing games, and story-driven video games in general. Beyond his popularity with fans of the game, his presentation as a character was radically different from other final bosses, who were often large, demonic figures with no bearing on stories in video games other than to serve as a final challenge. Kefka broke this tradition, not only for his portrayal as a largely humorous character, but also plotwise, beginning the game as a low-level yes-man, gaining influence and power before finally becoming a global threat.

Kefka's full name is Kefka Palazzo, although this is not actually mentioned in the game. His first name is believed to be derived from the name of the author Franz Kafka.

Kefka, though a profoundly unique individual from the series, is also one of the most forgotten.

Final Fantasy 6's villain. More insane than FF7's villain, Sephiroth.

The villain of Final Fantasy 6. Kefka has a vast array of one-liners that other villains would kill for, dresses like a clown, and is the epitemy of insanity. Appearing just like a loony, crazy general in the beginning, Kefka's insanity is fully grasped as he kills off his emperor and literally rearranges the shape of the planet... At the end Wielding a cruel, twisted weapon called the Light of Judgement, unleashing dragons, demons and the ATMA weapon upon the world, plunging the world into ruin, seated on the throne of the world in a tower made of Earth and garbage, killing millions of people, and not giving A DAMN about it. Kefka is the only villain whose plan actually succeeds and who gains the power of the Gods. The best villain of all time...

Baddest RPG villan ever

1) General: The main antagonist of Final Fantasy VI. Has a propensity to wear flamboyant clothing, spout witty one-liners, laugh maniacally and commit random, indiscriminate acts of homicidal mania.
Detailed: Full name Kefka (originally Cefca) Palazzo. A magic-imbued military leader for the Gestahl Empire who plays by his own rules, which typically involve using methods that blatantly defy the Geneva Convention. Is extremely sharp-witted, displaying a crazed theatricalism emphasized by extravagant (and somewhat campy) gestures and mannerisms. Psychological profiling would show his mindset to be predominantly nihilistic, which would explain his amusement/fascination with death and destruction.

2) Any person who seems to enjoy wreaking absolute havoc in an almost childlike manner, typically a player of a multiplayer first-person shooter or MMORPG displaying such tendencies. Synonymous with smacktard in some contexts.
