Stuff from Kefka.
Why do people rebuild things they know are going to be destroyed?
Why do people cling to life when they know they can't live forever?
Think how meaningless each of your lives is!
- Kefka
:
"Life.. Dreams... Hope... Where'd they come from? ...And where are they headed? These things... I am going to to destroy!"
- Kefka
Terra: Life will go on! There will always be people, and dreams!
Kefka: No! I will hunt them down. I will destroy them all! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
Locke: We will not allow you to harm another living thing.
Kefka: Mwe, hee, hee! But what fun is destruction if no "precious" lives are lost!
- Terra, Kefka, and Locke
There's nothing like the sound of hundreds of voices screaming in unison.
- Kefka
Welcome to my barbeque!
- Kefka, when torching Figaro
I will destroy everything! I will create a monument to non-existence!
- Kefka
You people sound like chapters from a self-help book!
- Kefka
Run, run, or you'll be well done!

Shortly before the events of the game, Kefka enslaved Terra Branford with a slave crown, ordered her to kill fifty of the Empire's own soldiers as a test of her loyalty.
Kefka was released by Gestahl and dispatched to Thamasa, where he proceeded to have his soldiers attack both the Returners and the troops of General Leo, before killing all the Espers there and taking their Magicite remains. When Kefka ordered his troops to burn the town, General Leo stepped in and fought Kefka. However, he only succeeded in destroying a shade of Kefka, and the real one emerged moments later and slew him. The sealed gate subsequently ripped open, and a second wave of Espers flew straight to the town to attack Kefka, but at this point Kefka had simply grown too strong and their attacks had no effect; Kefka easily killed them all and took their Magicite, enhancing his already potent powers even further with the dozens of shards he acquired.
His gradual culmination in power leads Kefka to overthrow Gestahl and take control of the Warring Triad, effectively becoming the
God of Magic itself.
His "God" form.
Sorry about the stretch.
