Warning: The following is a spolier for FFVII: Advent Children. If you do not want the story spoiled for you, do NOT continue reading.







I have found that the wheelchair man seen in the FFVII: Advent Children is none other than President Rufus.

Old news. That was revealed in one of the trailers when they refer to the man as President.

Oh well. Even if it is, people who don't know about it yet can read it here.

If they're going to find it out here, they might as well have all the evidence for it:

1) Reno and Rude are his bodyguards. He was their boss.
2) He's referred to by Kadaj as "Mr. President." He was President of Shin-Ra.
3) He has a Shin-Ra plaque on his wall.
4) He wears a white suit, just as Rufus did (and it's a suit-coat, not a labcoat).
5) He appears to be young, only a few years older than Cloud.
6) Rufus Shinra was listed in the cast list of the 20 minute preview of the film shown in Venice, Montreal, and Paris. The cast list was only for the characters in the preview. Every character in the preview can be accounted for as being obvious with the exception of Rufus, leaving only the Wheelchair Man to be him.
