More info I dug up but the source is from Gamefaqs, though the people talking sound a bit more logical about it.

Kekfa info and FF6 Ultimania plz - Final Fantasy III Message Board for SNES - GameFAQs

Here's another site that lists some of the details about the Figaro Bros. and the Kingdom of Figaro... Once again, I can't verify its accuracy but considering the article deals with the author Soraya Saga's work, I'm not surprised its this detailed...

Here's some links from another site, which actually details some of the information I started this thread with. It does not state where the information comes from so its validity is questionable.

This link is a jumbled mess of a conversation at the FF wiki... It talks about some of the issues with this apparent "canon" backstory for Kefka. It was an amusing read if anything.

Talk:Kefka Palazzo - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research

Here's a link from FF Online. It doesn't reveal anything new that the links above didn't state but someone actually posted images from one of the VI Guides that supposedly reveals all this info. Looks like I'm going to have to break out my old Japanese text book and get to cracking.

I would like to just state right now that all this information is questionable as there seems to be some issue regarding sources for the translations and info. Take all of this with a grain of salt but it is fun for speculation purposes.
