[ The answer to the question is so much more complex than a simple 'yes' or 'no'. There's context - a lot of it - and figuring out how to give a short yet complete version of that is...hard.
Even so...he tries. ]
The Jenova Project...didn't just involve Sephiroth. There were...two branches. Project G...and Project S. Project S...is where Sephiroth came from. Hojo's work. The surviving townspeople in Nibeheim, Cloud, and me...were also used for that.
Project G...was the work of someone else in the Science Department. Professor Hollander. That's where two of our other Firsts - Angeal and Genesis - came from.
The problem with that line, though, is that...even though they developed some of Jenova's powers...their bodies were unstable. They started....degrading. Genesis was the first to develop symptoms, and when he learned the truth, he deserted and took a bunch of other SOLDIERs with him.
Angeal left...to try to bring Genesis back. When he learned the truth...he didn't come back, either.
So...I got sent on a mission to deal with Genesis. I won that fight...and when it was over, I found Angeal there, too. I wanted to talk, but - he wanted fight. I'm not sure how much of that was...him starting to degrade or...the fact that he hated what he was. But. He turned himself into a monster. He gave me this [ he brushes a finger briefly over the scar on his cheek ], and...after I won...he gave me his sword.
