1. (Mobile Phone) Before Crisis - ShinRa: Everything started with Shinra (Organisation). An alien came from the skys and started a big war. Shinra managed to catch this alien and made experiements with it. They tried to grow up humans with the power of JENOVA (Alien). Shinra used big Mako Reactors to provide enough energy, those Mako Reactors were draining the Lifestream of the Earth and the Earth was slowly dying. Sephiroth was born, it was a big ''success'' for Shinra.

After unknown time...
3. (Playstation 1) Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth was given a mission, and this mission basically is the reason Final Fantasy 7 exists. As the forefront in SOLDIER efficiency and power, he was sent along with his partner, Zack, and two escort guards on what was supposedly a heroic Shinra intervention on behalf of the citizens of Nibelheim, Cloud and Tifa’s hometown. Cloud, unbeknownst to Tifa and as a result of his failure to be accepted in SOLDIER, was one of those two escort guards assigned to act as security for the two members of SOLDIER - his best friend, Zack, and the legendary Sephiroth, his idol.
The problem at hand revolved around “brutal monsters,” which attacked and brutalized the townsfolk in Nibelheim. Where they came from nobody was sure, but the main assignment dictated an examination of the Mako Reactor in Mt. Nibel. On their second day in the town, Sephiroth and his cohorts, with Tifa as their guide, made their way to the reactor to investigate. Locked outside, Tifa wasn’t there to see what happened, and Cloud wasn’t there either - he was guarding her. His memories of the event stem from his time with Zack as their consciousnesses intermingled in the pods underneath Shinra Mansion. Always believing his mother’s name to be JENOVA, Sephiroth stumbled upon a sealed room with a plate bearing the same name. Apparently, the entity inside was being used to supplement pods with energy and biological tissue, much like a mother would for her child through the umbilical cord. Inside these pods were living organisms, believed by Sephiroth to have once been human. Knowing all along he was different than everyone else, he begins to question rather or not Professor Gast, who seemingly would have had some hand in this experiment (although the entire thing was apparently orchestrated by Hojo, his assistant and eventual assassin), had told him the full truth about his past.
Stunned, Sephiroth began to explore the secret library of Professor Gast in the underbellies of the Shinra Mansion, one room over from Vincent’s resting place. From these books and research notes, Sephiroth gathered that 2000 years ago an ancient race had roamed the Planet, with the ability to find a land of supreme happiness. They had, unfortunately, completely died out; however, a living specimen believed to be of Ancient, or Cetra, descent was found confined in the geological stratum. It was named JENOVA, and around it the JENOVA Project was built. It sought to replicate the powers of the Cetra in the next-generation SOLDIER members, who would not only have superior magic strength but would also be able to lead Shinra Inc. to the Promised Land, where a seemingly infinite supply of Mako would be sure to exist. Sephiroth was the first of these super-SOLDIERs. Sickened, Sephiroth isolated himself in the mansion, as Zack spent the night in the mansion’s upper-level bedroom, waiting for his friend’s return. Sephiroth wouldn’t, instead choosing to burn Nibelheim to the ground. Zack rushed out of the mansion to see Sephiroth disappearing through the flames towards the reactor. Cloud, meanwhile, was close to passing out, lying in the smoke between flames. Finding no survivors, Zack rushed after Sephiroth towards the reactor.
Upon his arrival, Zack found Tifa holding her slain father; Sephiroth’s deadly Musamune blade was next to the body. Swearing revenge Tifa picked up the blade and rushed towards Sephiroth, but was overpowered and slashed. Sephiroth entered JENOVA’s chamber and began to tear her out of the wall to free her, but Zack attempted to intervene. Unable to destroy his former friend, Zack too was severely wounded. It was Cloud who struck the fatal blow and fell the mighty Sephiroth. Underestimating Cloud’s strength and willpower, Sephiroth dismissed him with a stab to the chest. Cloud, however, surprised his former idol by picking the blade up and using it to throw Sephiroth, holding JENOVA’s head, over the railing and into the Mako pit below where he presumably was killed. Shinra, flexing its political prowess, managed to underscore the Nibelheim incident and initiated a cover up, dismissing the possibility that anything untoward occurred. Seeking to improve on security measures, JENOVA was shipped back to Shinra headquarters where Hojo, Gast’s protégé, continued monitoring the monster’s status. Gast, meanwhile, stayed in Nibelheim to conduct JENOVA infusion experiments on Cloud and Zack, both of whom were near death. They would spend much time in two pods together until Zack - who did not react to the cells and Mako, as opposed to Cloud who reacted violently - eventually freed them. Later, Zack would be killed at the hands of two Shinra MP’s and their commander as he was tending to Cloud just outside Nibelheim. Cloud would then pick up his Buster Sword and slowly gain composure, assimilating Zack’s memories into his own.
Although Sephiroth’s physical body was badly damaged, he had a strong enough will (partly because of his infusion with JENOVA cells) to prevent himself from becoming part of the Lifestream. Shinra’s ultimate success story would soon become their ultimate nightmare, as Sephiroth’s body was transported to the Northern Crater through the Lifestream and sealed in a Mako chrysalis. His psyche, powerful enough to actually coalesce into physical form, began to travel the land, searching for his “mother,” JENOVA. This is why Sephiroth can fly and appear transparent and almost ten times normal size at some points in the game. He can also travel through the ground at points as well. His true body is in the Northern Crater; his mind was so strong that he can move around mentally in a physical state he fashioned for himself to retrieve the Black Materia and summon Meteor.
In truth, however, Sephiroth was living a lie. His mother was not JENOVA, nor was JENOVA a Cetra. JENOVA turned out to be the “original crises from the sky,” an alien being who fought a bloody battle against the true Cetra millennia earlier. They had been able to confine JENOVA but not destroy her, and the last descendants of the Cetra assimilated into humanity as many died due to a radical virus she released upon them. Sephiroth’s true mother was Lucretia, the woman Vincent secretly loved, and his father was Hojo. Hojo, impregnating Lucretia (rather or not rape occurred is unknown), injected his own unborn son with JENOVA cells while he was still in the womb. He then subjected him to artificial aging to accelerate his growth. Unlike the monsters in the Mako Reactor he was never grown in a maturation pod, though. He had a real biological conception and birth and, sadly, he never learned this before it was too late.
4. (Movie) FF7 Advent Children: After Sephiroth was beaten by Cloud and his group (including the unknown Vincent), everything was in peace for 2 years. But it is known that everything Living being becoming part of the Lifestream (singularity). That means Sephiroth was not dead at all. Three silver haired ghosts were reborn from JENOVA cells (Kadaj, Loz, Yazoo) and they were all looking very similar to Sephiroth because they were born from the same cells, but Kadaj carried parts of Sephiroth's ghost in it/him. At this time Shinra abandoned their experiments, the whole JENOVA-Project and hid the cells because it was too dangerous. As Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo were born from same cells that were in other, unkown location they started to search for cells that were hidden by Shinra because those cells were parts of their ''mother'' and them self. At the end Kadaj comes in contact with the Shinra cells and Sephiroth is reborn as all substances that Sephiroth was made from are contained. It comes to a large fight between Sephiroth and Cloud. In all this time Cloud became stronger, he managed to beat Sephiroth, the ghosts alone and sent them back to the Lifestream.
Vincent tries to find out who he is...
5. (Playstation 2) FF7 Dirge of Cerberus: One year passed, but who is Vincent. He lost his memory and nobody knows anything about him. A sudden appearance of a mysterious group called the Deep Ground Soldiers as they attacks Kalm plunges the town in chaos. The Deep Ground Soldiers are a section of SOLDIER, created by the ShinRa Company on the President ShinRa's orders underneath Midgar. When Meteor struck Midgar at the end of Final Fantasy VII they became trapped but they have now escaped their underground lair. Vincent Valentine is somehow connected to the Deep Ground Soldiers as they seem to have been searching for him for some time.
Reeve Tuesti former Head of Urban Development at ShinRa is now the leader of the World Restoration Organization who are a large organization who basically carry out more than AVALANCE could ever have hoped. Their job is to restore the world and prevent anyone from damaging it further. Barret and Tifa are thought to be part World Restoration Organization and are probably leading some of the missions...
