Biography

Dyne grew up in the village of Corel, where he worked as a miner. He was married to a woman by the name of Eleanor, and they had a baby girl, though he hasn't seen his daughter since her infancy.

Years ago, the village was burned, a decision of Shinra's, which left his wife and daughter dead. Soon after he had a tragic accident in which one of his arms was shot off. He ended up getting a gun grafted onto the stump of his arm, an operation which was soon to be done again by another Corel citizen.

Circumstances lead him to become an inmate of the desert prison under the Golden Saucer. He has achieved a high level of respect from the other inmates, but it did nothing to calm his anger and hate. He is a solitary, unhappy man, and wants to be left alone.

Additional Information

Dyne is the true father of Marlene, the girl that Barret adopted. At one time, Barret and Dyne were quite close, a friendship that was also killed by Shinra. Dyne didn't want Shinra to build a reactor at their location, but Barret was for it, convincing his friend to agree. It seemed, for a time, that things would be alright.

Then there was an accident at the reactor.

Quick to point the finger at someone else, Shinra claimed that there were terrorists in the village, and it was quickly burned down. Barret, coming back to town at the time, watched Dyne as he was gunned down by two soldiers, and tried to save him as he hung over the side of the cliff. A soldier shot their arms, causing the link to be broken and Dyne to fall. Dyne lost the use of one of his arms at that point, and vowed revenge.

Dyne did meet Barret again, and after fighting his old friend, came to a realization. He had nothing else to live for. Even hearing that his daughter, Marlene, was still alive didn't change his mind. Who was he to be a father, now? After giving Barret a pendant to give to Marlene, Dyne took a step back, plummeting to his death over a cliffside.
