Kefka was the original person experimented on with the whole being magically infused thing. Cid knew it was unstable but Kefka still willingly let Cid experiment on him because he knew that in the world of no magic, someone with those kinds of skills could do some owning.
Before the experiments Kefka was already a world hater, luckly for him, the experiments got messed up somewhere down the line 'causing his mind to wither away faster than it already was.
Celes had the same experiments done, luckly for her, all the kinks were worked out with it on Kefka so she came out normal, just an anti-social emo.
Kefka did -alot- of damage before the statues, and already had a mass hate from the people of the free and not free world. That was before all the statues.
