History Characters / KingdomHeartsTheAntipodeOrganizationXIII

* LiteralSplitPersonality: Upon breaking free from Xehanort's control prior to the events of the story, Terra was split into two beings: his [[TheSoulless Nobody]] which adopted the name Xemnas and formed Organization XIII and his heart, which remains [[SoulJar trapped within the Lingering Will]].
* KickTheMoralityPet: During ''Act 3'''s Castle Oblivion arc, Terra guilt trips Aqua with a manipulative tour of his memories, berating her for all the ways she had hurt him during the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''. Though she feels immense guilt for her harsh words to him in the past, the vicious manner in which Terra lashes out at her prompts Aqua to [[TheDogBitesBack retaliate]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil in kind]].

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Terra spouts one when he and Aqua ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Xiruk]]) confront Marluxia, Larxene and Xion in Castle Oblivion.

** The above instance is immediately followed by a verbal lashing from Terra's other half.

* TheReveal: Xemnas is Terra's Nobody.

* WalkingSpoiler: It's impossible to discuss Terra's role in the story without giving away the twist that he's the villain.

--->'''Lingering Will''': '''This was bound to happen. You did this to yourself.'''

-->'''Lingering Will''': '''I know you can be better than this. Because we ''were'' better. But, if you stay on this path, I'll drown you in the ocean of ''every'' regret you've run away from.'''

** In response to his manipulations, Aqua retaliates with a verbal lashing of her own.

* Terra also saved Aqua from certain death at the hands of the [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Cyclops Titan]].

*** Due to Xigbar's presence, Xemnas lied about how he planned to cast Aqua back into the Realm of Darkness, when in reality, he intended on sending her to the Chamber of Repose.
*** He protected Aqua when [=DiZ=] threatened to kill her (to deprive the Organization of their Keyblade.)
*** When Xemnas was nearly killed, Aqua healed him at the last moment.

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Terra spouts one when he and Aqua confront Marluxia, Larxene and Xion in Castle Oblivion.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Aqua and Xiruk note that, though Terra's backstory and circumstances are sympathetic, that don't excuse the many atrocities he committed.

* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about Xemnas in-depth without giving away the [[TheReveal twist]] that he's actually Terra.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Is visibly distraught when he learns of Lexaeus' demise, indicating that the two of them shared a connection.

* SmugSnake: Takes great pride in the fact that he's Xemnas's most trusted subordinate.

** He seems almost offended when Sora calls him a liar for saying that he won't hurt [[MoralityPet Aqua]].

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Terra is

* ItIsBeyondSaving: Terra has grown tired of the endless cycle which sees the worlds falling to darkness while the people with the power to make a change (ie: Yen Sid) [[OrcusOnHisThrone do nothing to help]], instead relying on Keyblade-wielding children to solve their problems. Believing the universe to be beyond saving, Terra intends to use the artificial Kingdom Hearts to [[UtopiaJustifiesTheirMeans reshape the world]] and purge the corruption which permeats this cycle.

* KickTheMoralityPet: During ''Act 3'''s Castle Oblivion arc, Terra guilt trips Aqua with a manipulative tour of his memories, berating her for all the ways she had hurt him during the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''. It gets to the point that Aqua [[TheDogBitesBack retaliates]] by [[PayEvilUntoEvil returning the favour]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Upon formation, Xemnas remembered not only his life as Terra, but every atrocity he committed under Xehanort's control. {{Averted|Trope}} in the present day; though he takes no pleasure in his present crimes, Xemnas' lack of a heart prevents him from feeling any guilt.
-->In the time I spent grappling with Xehanort's heart, so many people suffered. So many people got swept off the streets. Parents. Children. I practically tore their hearts from their bodies. That's not something I can forget. I can't undo it either.

* {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic example. Terra secretly longs for the company of his old friends Aqua and Ventus and is willing to disregard their happiness in order to reunite with them.

* AdaptationalHeroism: {{Downplayed}} and ZigZagged. This iteration of Xemnas, being [[spoiler:Terra's Nobody rather than Xehanort's]] is noticeably [[ALighterShadeOfBlack greyer]] and [[TragicVillain more sympathetic]] than his [[AssimilationPlot canon counterpart]]. However, [[spoiler:this counts as AdaptationalVillainy for [[FallenHero Terra]], who underwent a BigBadSlippage prior to the events of the story.]]

* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Provides dinner for Queen Elsa and Riku when he confronts them in Elsa's Ice Palace.

* TheGambler: His defining trait.

* BadassBaritone: Speaks in a deep, hollow monotone.

* DualBoss: Alongside [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Syndrome]] in the Parr Family's household.

* SecretKeeper: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Zexion is the only member of the Organization who knows Xemnas's true name and [[spoiler:his vendetta against Xehanort]]. Even then, Xemnas doesn't fully trust Zexion and has withheld several details from him over the years.

While initially believed to be Xehanort [[GrandTheftMe possessing Terra's body]], it is [[TheReveal revealed]] in ''All That's Left'' that Xemnas is actually Terra's Nobody, left a [[TheSoulless hollow shell of his former self]] after breaking free from Xehanort's control. Donning the mask of his sworn enemy, Terra has spend the past decade [[SpannerInTheWorks dismantling]] Xehanort's [[AssimilationPlot scheme]] whilst pursuing [[VisionaryVillain his own agenda]].

* FaceHeelTurn: Underwent this prior to the events of the story.

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Has these as a result of being [[DemonicPossession possessed by Xehanort in the past]]. Aqua notes that they're the same colour as his Wayfinder.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Though he is well aware of the depravity of his actions, Xemnas genuinely believes them to be for the greater good.

'''WARNING:''' Due to the presence of a [[TheReveal plot twist]] which [[NotHisSled diverges significantly from canon]], the second section has '''Unmarked Spoilers'''.

A group of [[TheSoulless Nobodies]] who serve as the primary antagonistic faction in the story.

* TheCorruptor: They target vulnerable individuals (usually villains) and push them into using darkness with the aim of turning them into Heartless and possibly recruiting their Nobody.

!!Terra
[[caption-width-right:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/terra_khbbs_png.png''"But I suppose to you, I'm yet another soul who has gone... astray."'']]
->''"Whatever the cost, I'm ready to pay it."''
While initially believed to be Xehanort [[GrandTheftMe possessing Terra's body]], it is [[TheReveal revealed]] in ''All That's Left'' that Xemnas is actually Terra's Nobody, left a [[TheSoulless hollow shell of his former self]] after breaking free from Xehanort's control. Donning the mask of his sworn enemy, Terra has spend the past decade [[SpannerInTheWorks dismantling]] Xehanort's [[AssimilationPlot scheme]] whilst pursuing [[VisionaryVillain his own agenda]].

* AdaptationalBadass: Xemnas has all of Terra's abilities, though he chooses not to use them in order to hide his identity. Though he can wield the No Name Keyblade, Xemnas avoids using it due to it being a reminder of the man who ruined his life.[[note]]It should be noted that the ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth By Sleep]] Ultimania'' [[https://www.khinsider.com/forums/index.php?threads/bbs-ultimania-plot-mysteries-nomura-interview.147009/ suggests]] that Xemnas can use a Keyblade but intentionally chooses not to, though this was not touched upon in the games.[[/note]]
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Xemnas' connection to Xehanort is changed drastically: while canon Xemnas is one of Xehanort's numerous incarnations, in ''Antipode'', Xemnas is instead Terra's Nobody; thus making him a sworn enemy of Xehanort rather than another version of him.
* BerserkButton: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Though his [[TheSoulless lack of a heart]] prevents him from feeling emotion, there are occasions when Terra show a facsimile of anger.
** He typically reacts with disdain when people identify him as Xehanort. However, when the [[AnimatedArmor Lingering Will]]; [[SoulJar his own heart]] implies that [[HeWhoFightsMonsters he's no better than the man who ruined his life]], Terra snaps "I'm ''nothing'' like Xehanort!" out of raw impulse.
** He seems almost offended when Sora calls him a liar for saying that he won't hurt [[MoralityPet Aqua]].
* BigBadFriend: Is this to Aqua, Ventus and to a lesser extent, Riku.
* EmotionSuppression: Terra has done all he can to delay the development of a new heart. Experience has taught him that his emotions held him back. That because he was weak, Xehanort was able to take control. Really, it's no wonder he fell short of expectations.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: %%In spite of how far he's fallen, Terra
** Is disgusted at the age-old practice of Keyblade Masters [[GrandTheftMe possessing the bodies of others]] in order to live on for eternity. {{Justified|Trope}} due to him being a victim of this practice.
** Feels pity towards Saïx due to the latter being [[GrandTheftMe possessed with a seed of Xehanort's heart]] as a child.
** Is genuinely shocked when he sees Aqua's memory of Snow White's death.
* EvilSoundsDeep: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Xemnas speaks in a deep baritone while masquerading as Xehanort. In private, he uses his normal voice, which sounds identical to Terra's.
* FaceHeelTurn: Underwent this prior to the events of the story.
* FallenHero: After freeing himself from Xehanort's influence, Terra was reborn as a Nobody. Scarred with Xehanort's knowledge, he took it upon himself to set things right. He donned the mask of Xehanort and founded Organization XIII whilst amassing a synthetic Kingdom Hearts in hopes of [[VisionaryVillain creating a new world.]]
* FeelsNoPain: Terra is glad that his heart remains trapped within the [[SoulJar Lingering Will]] where his festering emotions cannot constantly influence him. {{Subverted|Trope}} on occasion. Sporadically, the Lingering Will confronts him on their Station of Awakening and forces him to feel every ounce of guilt and sorrow carried within their heart.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are several clues to Xemnas's true identity.
** Prior to his first appearance in Hollow Bastion, WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} notes something familiar about Xemnas, as though she met him before. This alludes to her encounter with Terra in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''.
** Ventus is incredibly distressed by Xemnas's appearance and immediately recognizes him as Terra. He remembers what Vanitas said in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'':
--->He's leaving you behind. And by the time you catch up... he'll be a different person.
** Xemnas's words to Riku Replica before sending him to Castle Oblivion:
--->If you truly wish to protect the things that matter, then it is in your best interest to proceed.
** Xemnas reacted positively to the revelation that Axel's meddling saved Riku's life, despite said meddling costing the Organization greatly.
** His reaction to learning of Aqua's return:
--->Of all the times you could have returned... Fate truly is a fickle thing.
** His first meeting with Aqua is full of this:
--->But I suppose to you, I'm yet another soul who has gone... astray.
*** When he, Zexion and Xigbar stood over a wounded Aqua, Xemnas got down and treated her open wound with a Hi-Potion.
*** Due to Xigbar's presence, Xemnas lied about how he planned to cast Aqua back into the Realm of Darkness, when in reality, he intended on sending her to the Chamber of Repose.
*** He protected Aqua when [=DiZ=] threatened to kill her (to deprive the Organization of their Keyblade.)
*** When Xemnas was nearly killed, Aqua healed him at the last moment.
** The ending of ''The Year Between'' has two separate instances:
*** Xemnas is revealed to visit the Keyblade Graveyard regularly and looks over the Lingering Will.
--->What a pitiful sight...
*** The final scene shows Xemnas speaking with an empty suit of armor in the Chamber of Repose, much like in ''[[UpdatedRerelease Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. This time, however, [[WhamLine he refers to the armor as "Aqua"]].
** This exchange when Riku first sees Xemnas' face in ''All That's Left'':
--->'''Xemnas:''' Are you alarmed by my appearance? It's quite peculiar… Some time ago, Sora asked if I knew anyone by the name of Terra. I can't imagine why…\\
'''Riku:''' Because you're...\\
'''Xemnas:''' I'm what, exactly?\\
'''Riku:''' You're... Xehanort, aren't you?\\
'''Xemnas:''' ''[Hollow laugh]'' I am Xemnas, Superior of the Organization. However, if that is what you wish to call me, then by all means, do what you will. In the end, it changes ''nothing…''
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Aqua and Xiruk note that, though Terra's backstory and circumstances are sympathetic, that don't excuse the many atrocities he committed.
* FriendToAllChildren: Retained shades of this upon formation. Even without his heart, Terra couldn't bring himself to [[HarmfulToMinors kill Xigbar in front of a young Zexion]]. Rather than strongarming the child into remaining silent, Xemnas gently revealed to Zexion his true identity and trusted him to keep it a secret. [[AvertedTrope Any traces of this are long gone by the events of the story]], where Xemnas inflicts psychological abuse on Riku Replica and Naminé with little remorse.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Terra's actions in manipulating others and dooming worlds in pursuit of Kingdom Hearts have arguably made him no better than Xehanort. [[SoulJar The Lingering Will]] is well aware of this and [[LampshadedTrope lampshades]] it when confronting him on their Station of Awakening.
-->'''But we all know who you really are, Xehanort.'''
* KickTheMoralityPet: During ''Act 3'''s Castle Oblivion arc, Terra guilt trips Aqua with a manipulative tour of his memories, berating her for all the ways she had hurt him during the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''. It gets to the point that Aqua [[TheDogBitesBack retaliates]] by [[PayEvilUntoEvil returning the favour]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Upon formation, Xemnas remembered not only his life as Terra, but every atrocity he committed under Xehanort's control. {{Averted|Trope}} in the present day; though he takes no pleasure in his present crimes, Xemnas' lack of a heart prevents him from feeling any guilt.
-->In the time I spent grappling with Xehanort's heart, so many people suffered. So many people got swept off the streets. Parents. Children. I practically tore their hearts from their bodies. That's not something I can forget. I can't undo it either.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: A big reason why he [[IHatePastMe looks down on his past self]] is because his emotions and [[WideEyedIdealist naivety]] were what allowed Xehanort to take advantage of him.
* PetTheDog: In spite of how much he's changed, Terra does have moments where he shows traces of the kindness he once held.
** Returns Aqua's armor to her out of a genuine concern for her well-being.
** When confronted over a year later, Terra apologizes sincerely to Xiruk for mistreating him and his friends.
** He also grabs Xiruk's wrist to prevent him from falling in Castle Oblivion.
** He empathizes with Xion's fear of [[LossOfIdentity losing her identity]], having gone through the exact same thing himself.
** After Aqua threw him Master's Defender in a desperate bid to save his life, Terra returns their former Master's Keyblade to her as a token of goodwill.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Terra spouts one when he and Aqua confront Marluxia, Larxene and Xion in Castle Oblivion.
-->You are only a vandal in my house, Marluxia. But now you face the King and Queen of Castle Oblivion.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Due to his status as Terra's Nobody, Xemnas shares a connection with the [[AnimatedArmor Lingering Will]], which [[SoulJar contains his heart]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Berates Aqua for the ways her doubt and distrust had driven him away during the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''.
-->'''Aqua''': But, Terra, we saw—\\
'''Terra''': What you ''wanted'' to see. Not a partner. Not an equal. And not an opponent. Only the desperate dreamer that the Masters wished me to be, willing to do whatever it took to match your light…\\
'''Aqua''': No, that’s not—\\
'''Terra''': Aqua…I only ever supported you. But the Master put it in your mind that I was beneath you. I couldn’t match your light, so I must have been willing to do whatever it took to get there. But nothing could be further from the truth.
** In response to his manipulations, Aqua retaliates with a verbal lashing of her own.
--->'''Aqua''': You believed all this time that I had no faith in you. That I doubted you once, so I’d doubt you forever. I ''loved'' you, Terra. And I trusted you would win. I gave up ''everything'' because I ''believed'' in you. That’s why, for all the hell I went through in the Realm of Darkness…nothing hurt me more than the day I learned what you’d become.
* TheReveal: Xemnas is Terra's Nobody.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Due to his identity as Terra, Xemnas is vehemently opposed to Xehanort's plan to [[GrandTheftMe fill thirteen vessels with seeds of his heart]] and has gone out of his way to derail that scheme whilst pursuing his own agenda.
* SunkCostFallacy: Deep down, Terra secretly wishes to discard the "mask" of Xemnas and rejoin his old friends on the side of good. However, doing so would mean that [[AllForNothing all the atrocities he committed and allowed in pursuit of his goal would be for naught]], thus, he pushes on with his plan to create a new world.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Has these as a result of being [[DemonicPossession possessed by Xehanort in the past]]. Aqua notes that they're the same colour as his Wayfinder.
-->Even now, he's left his mark. These eyes… They're… an asset. No one else will know the truth.
* TookALevelInCynic: In stark contrast to the naive idealist he once was, Terra's [[GrandTheftMe possession]] at the hands of Xehanort and his experiences thereafter have made him incredibly world-weary. He even [[LampshadedTrope lampshades]] this during his confrontation with Marluxia and Larxene.
-->Intimidation won’t do me any favors. I’m not a fool. Used to be. There was a time where I was warm. Open. Trusting… And that trust cost me ''everything''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Ten years of living as an [[TheSoulless emotionless husk]] have changed Terra from a kind, warm-hearted youth to a cold, bitter manipulator.
* TragicKeepsake: Has several of these. Along with Aqua's armor and Keyblade, he also keeps his Wayfinder in his pocket at all times. He also scavenged and repaired his childhood wooden Keyblade.
-->'''Zexion''': You held onto the armor…\\
'''Xemnas''': Indeed. It is… a reminder of an old friend.\\
'''Zexion''': That's oddly sentimental of you.\\
'''Xemnas''': Perhaps. I see it as an anchor, lest I lose myself entirely to this charade.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Is Terra's Nobody rather than Xehanort's. Thus, Xemnas has no relation to any of Xehanort's incarnations such as Ansem or Young Xehanort.
* VillainousRescue: During Riku's battle with Ansem in the Simulation, Xemnas appeared to the former in the form of Terra and gave him a pep talk, thus giving him the strength he needed to keep going.[[note]] It should be noted that those who entered the Simulation appeared the way Riku last saw them. As he had yet to see Xemnas without his hood up, the latter appeared the way Riku last remembered seeing him.[[/note]]
-->Giving up already? I know you're stronger than that.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about Xemnas in-depth without giving away the [[TheReveal twist]] that he's actually Terra.
* WhamLine: Has a few.
** At the end of his encounter with Sora in ''Fragmented Truths'':
-->You'll understand soon enough... Ven.
** When speaking with Aqua's armor in the ending of ''The Year Between''.
-->This past year has been truly enlightening… Unfortunately, I cannot allow you to continue down this reckless path. You see, after more than a decade of careful planning… years of waiting, of biding my time, my efforts have nearly reached fruition, and I refuse to abandon my ambitions for anyone, including you… Aqua.
** During TheReveal in ''All That's Left'':
-->Allow me to put it this way, then… You were right, Aqua. And so was the Master. I did need to be watched. Unfortunately, there was nobody left to light the way.
* WhamShot: Xemnas brings Aqua and Xiruk into a hidden room within The Castle That Never Was, revealing a near-perfect recreation of Terra's room in the Land of Departure. He even takes out his Wayfinder to hammer the point home.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Though he is well aware of the depravity of his actions, Xemnas genuinely believes them to be for the greater good.
* {{Yandere}}: A non-romantic example. Terra secretly longs for the company of his old friends Aqua and Ventus and is willing to disregard their happiness in order to reunite with them.

-->-- '''Xaldin''' to '''Young Xehanort'''
Number III in the Organization and one of its founding members. In his past life, he was an apprentice of Ansem the Wise.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: When Xaldin stabs Elsa in the heart with a shard of Nahxs' [[MagicMirror enchanted glass]], she retaliates by embedding the shard into his left arm, turning it into ice. This is played for BlackComedy when Kristoff picks up the dismembered arm and gets into a conversation with Hans about selling frozen limbs on the black market.]]
* EvilChancellor: Though Xaldin served as advisor to the Westergaard Royal Family for an extended period of time, Prince Hans was well aware of his true nature and worked with him in hopes of gaining more power.
* FlyingWeapon: Utilities an array of levitating lances in battle. [[spoiler:Xion gains this ability after killing him.]]
* KickTheDog: [[SpeakIllOfTheDead Insults the late]] [[SacrificialLion Mr. Arrow]] in front of [[WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet Captain Amelia]] when the latter attempts to have him assassinated.
-->Mr. Arrow was the lowest form of scum to ever disgrace the vermin that spawned him. A mindless, gutless dreg unfit to live among the most noxious sewage. I always swore we'd settle things. That I'd smite him back to the cesspool he crawled from. So, why don't you summon him? Nothing would bring me more pleasure than to finally skewer the stone-faced fool. (...) Oh. Could it be that Mr. Arrow is no longer with us? That would explain why he's not glued to your hip. A pity, but I suppose it was inevitable. A foolish heart and an empty mind are a ''death'' sentence for those in our profession. Just a shame that I couldn't finish him myself.
* GutturalGrowler: Has a guttural yet eloquent voice.
* MomentKiller: A platonic example. When Elsa shared a heartfelt moment with Riku after threatening the Organization on the latter's behalf, Xaldin made his entrance.
-->How sweet. You would make a declaration of war against the Organization itself? Queen Elsa, you had our curiosity. But now you have our attention.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Provides dinner for Queen Elsa and Riku when he confronts them in Elsa's Ice Palace.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Directed at Captain Amelia after [[spoiler:she becomes the temporary ruler of [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Arendelle]]]]:
-->I'll have nothing to do with your lot, Captain Amelia. You may see yourself as a leader, and you may have the Prince's trust, but in my eyes, you're just a child playing pretend.

->''"Don't you see? There never ''were'' any bombs! Your sentimentality blinded you, just as it always has! That's why you were the perfect—"''
-->-- '''Vexen's''' last words to '''Riku Replica'''
Number IV in the Organization and one of its founding members. In his past life, he was an apprentice of Ansem the Wise. On Xemnas's orders, Vexen created a Replica of the Keybearer for the Organization to command.

* AnIcePerson: Wields power over ice. [[spoiler:Riku Replica gains this power after killing him, though he isn't seen using it.]]
* {{Blackmail}}: When the Replica begins to form a bond with Riku, Vexen threatens to destroy Naminé and Roxas by detonating 'kill switches' implanted on them unless he eliminates Riku. Its a bluff.
* EvilOldFolks: One of the senior members of the Organization. Riku Replica even refers to him as "old".
* HateSink: A smug bastard who's responsible for much of the Mirror Trio's suffering.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Dies at the hands of the Replica he created and helped manipulate.]]
* PostFinalBoss: In ''Fragmented Truths''. After the FinalBattle, the Mirror Trio confronts Vexen in his lab to tie up loose ends before they leave the Organization.
* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Says this when he threatens to kill the Replica's friends should he refuse to cooperate.
-->…Assuming you value your friends' lives. One press of this button, and they'll both detonate, and that would truly be a shame, now, wouldn't it?

Number V in the Organization and one of its founding members. In his past life, he was an apprentice of Ansem the Wise.

* {{BFS}}: Wields a large two-handed sword.
* DishingOutDirt: His primary power. [[spoiler:Xion gains this ability after killing him.]]
* DualBoss: Alongside [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Syndrome]] in the Parr Family's household.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Calls Syndrome out for his recklessness when the latter willingly risks Mirage's life by daring Mr. Incredible to kill her.
* PragmaticVillainy: When he catches Mirage [[HighHeelFaceTurn assisting the heroes]], Lexaeus offers to spare her life should she leave due to her not being a threat to his goals.
-->Leave this place, Mirage, and perhaps I will keep this insubordination between the two of us. As it is, I have no reason to harm you.
* TheStoic: Is stout and emotionless.
* WouldHurtAChild: Had no qualms with allowing Syndrome to steal baby Jack-Jack from his family and even fought off the heroes when they tried to intervene.

->''"You see, it wouldn't matter if you were a Keyblade Master or a novice, so long as you fulfilled your purpose. True, Lord Xemnas does have an odd fascination with you, but to me, you're simply an annoyance."''
-->-- '''Zexion''' to '''Aqua'''
Number VI of the Organization and Xemnas's second-in-command. In his past life, he was an orphaned child taken in by Ansem the Wise.

* ArchEnemy: To Sora. Zexion was by far the biggest threat to Sora whenever the latter infiltrated the Organization's hideout. Him [[spoiler:briefly taking control of Sora and forcing him to attack Kairi]] cemented this.
* CoDragons: With Xigbar and Saïx to Xemnas, though Zexion is the highest ranking member among them.
* ForcedTransformation: As the second-highest ranking member of the Organization, Zexion has the ability to turn other Nobodies into Dusks as a form of punishment.
* {{Jerkass}}: Is rude and condescending towards both his subordinates and enemies.
* MasterOfIllusion: Zexion uses illusions to deceive his enemies both in and out of battle.
* PowerCopying: As in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Re:Chain of Memories]]''. When fighting a Keybearer, Zexion can even create a fully-functional duplicate of their Keyblade which can be used for 24 hours.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to [=DiZ=] in the ending of ''The Year Between''.
-->Ah, but it's ''Zexion'' now. And I have to say, ''Master…'' I'm almost appalled, looking at you now. (...) True. But just think of how far you've fallen. You were once a noble ruler, the most brilliant scientific mind… and then you ''failed.'' Your fear was what ultimately cast you into that darkness. And look at the results! You failed to save your once radiant kingdom, ''and'' you failed to save this town… Just like before, your hands are stained with the blood of those around you.
* {{Sadist}}: Rivals ''[[AlphaBitch Larxene]]'' in terms of sheer cruelty.
-->''[While torturing [[WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet Amelia]] and subjecting her to a ShapeshifterGuiltTrip]'' You'll forgive the indulgence, I hope. But I haven't had this much fun in ''ages.''
* SecretKeeper: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Zexion is the only member of the Organization who knows Xemnas's true name and [[spoiler:his vendetta against Xehanort]]. Even then, Xemnas doesn't fully trust Zexion and has withheld several details from him over the years.
-->'''Zexion:''' I just wish you were more forthcoming. All these years, and there's still so much I don't ''know''.\\
'''Xemnas:''' The walls have ears, Zexion. You alone have earned my trust, but I cannot take chances.
* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Subjects Sora to one, showing him an illusion of Riku and Kairi rejecting him due to being a Heartless. Zexion also pulls this trick during his fight with [[WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet Captain Amelia]], disguising himself as her deceased confidant Mr. Arrow.
* SmugSnake: Takes great pride in the fact that he's Xemnas's most trusted subordinate.
* SquishyWizard: Is physically weak despite his magic prowess and relies on trickery to overcome his opponents.
* VillainsOutShopping: Reads a philosophical book about [[WhatIsEvil the subjectivity of morality]].

Number VII in the Organization and a high-ranking member. Aside from Xigbar, Saïx is the only one implanted with a seed of Xehanort's heart.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Isa and Lea were test subjects in Terra-Xehanort's experiments as opposed to apprentices of Ansem the Wise as ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' revealed. Terra-Xehanort carved the Recusant's Sigil into Isa's forehead, thus planting a seed of Xehanort's heart in him.
* AdaptationalExplanation: During the experiments, Isa's light was thrown off-balance, leading to darkness overcompensating. His moonlight sensitivity is the result of having his heart briefly overloaded with excess light.
* BadBoss: To the Replica and XIII, whom he was tasked with supervising. He treated them coldly and harshly.
* CoDragons: With Zexion and Xigbar to Xemnas.
* TheComicallySerious: Comes off as this when interacting with his more comical peers.
* GrandTheftMe: Is gradually losing his autonomy due to Xehanort's heart growing within him.
* OneWingedAngel: Undergoes a transformation prior to his battle in [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Monstropolis]]. His hair grows matted and unkempt, [[SupernaturalGoldEyes his eyes turn a solid yellow]] and [[FangsAreEvil his teeth stretch into fangs]]. Unlike most examples, Saïx does this during his first fight with the heroes.
* ScarsAreForever: During the experiments, Terra-Xehanort carved the Recusant's Sigil into Isa's forehead, thereby planting within him a seed of Xehanort's heart.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Due to having a seed of Xehanort's heart inside him. In his OneWingedAngel form, his eyes turn a solid yellow.
* WouldHurtAChild: Had the Recusant's Sigil carved into his forehead by Terra-Xehanort as a ''child''.

->''"Kid, you're forgetting something ''real'' important. I'm a Nobody. Sure, I can fake feeling all I want, but deep down, it won't change a thing. All I really care about is making it another day. Getting my heart back, and if that means selling out a couple of kids, I'll do it without a second thought."''
-->--'''Axel''' to '''Roxas'''
Number VIII in the Organization. A charismatic assassin whose allegiance is shaky at best. He sporadically assists the heroes from time to time.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Lea and Isa were test subjects in Terra-Xehanort's experiments as opposed to apprentices of Ansem the Wise as ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' revealed.
* AdaptationalJerkass: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Unlike in canon, Axel is not best friends with [[MoralityPet Roxas and Xion]]. As a result, the softer side of his personality stemming from his friendship with them never develops.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Due to Roxas [[AdaptationalBackstoryChange having an established set of friends from the get-go]], he and Axel are not best friends. Though they do eventually befriend each other, they're not nearly as close as they are in canon.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: {{Inverted|Trope}}. As well as the above with Roxas, Axel never befriends Xion due to him falling out with Roxas prior to meeting her.
* TokenGoodTeammate: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Though he [[LackOfEmpathy lacks empathy]] and is morally ambiguous at best, Axel does occasionally act as an ally to the heroes, warning them of threats posed by his cohorts. Roxas eventually tries to convince Axel to join their side to no avail.

->''"So, uh. Remind me again why ''I'' have to do this? Come on, can't you send Xaldin? Or Lexaeus? Or, hey. Luxord! You've been itching for some action. …Right?"''
Number IX in the Organization. A [[TheSlacker slacker]] who would rather bum around the castle playing his sitar than do any work.

* AffablyEvil: Is relaxed and cordial despite being firmly on the side of evil.
* ClimaxBoss: [[DualBoss Alongside Xigbar]] in ''The Year Between''. The duo launch a surprise attack in Disney Town duruing the Dream Festival in order to coax the heroes into rebrandishing their Keyblades.
* DumbassHasAPoint: He's not wrong when he points out how long it took before the Organization began replenishing their ranks, especially after losing five members.
* EpicFail: Once lost a game of poker to a Moogle.
-->Hey! That Moogle was a dirty, stinkin' cheater, and one of these days I'll prove it!
* FriendlyEnemy: {{PlayedWith|Trope}}. Though Aqua knew Demyx was an enemy, she found it difficult to begrudge him due to his awkward demeanor and gave him a shy smile.
-->'''Xiruk:''' Just don't get too chummy. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Demyx may look like a clown, but I've seen him at his worst. Never looked at water the same way since…]]
* LargeHam: He has his moments.

Number X in the Organization. Suave and smooth-talking, Luxord sees life as a game to be won.

* AffablyEvil: Easily one of the most polite members of the Organization.
* TheGambler: His defining trait.
* ThePowerOfHate: [[{{Invoked|Trope}} Invokes]] this in order to push [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973 Prince John]] over the edge.
-->You're letting your fear overwhelm your fury. If you wish to conquer the darkness, let rage be your weapon! Allow your thirst for vengeance to cloud any lingering doubts. With hatred as your creed, nothing shall stand in your way!

A duo of treacherous Nobodies who are planning a coup against the Organization. They spend much of ''The Year Between'' hunting the Replica and Naminé in hopes of acquiring their own Keyblade. When that fails, they form a secret alliance with Xion, manipulating her whilst [[FalseFriend pretending to be her friends]]. Having [[IdentityAmnesia lost their memories]], they also seek answers on their [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX past lives]].
!!Tropes applying to both of them
* ArcVillain: For the majority of Riku Replica's plotline in ''The Year Between''.
* EnemyMine: They team up with the heroes in the climax of Act 3's [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Arendelle]] arc.
* FakingTheDead: They fake their deaths upon their defeat in ''The Year Between'', allowing them to work from the shadows.
* FalseFriend: Knowing full well the abuse she suffered at the hands of [=DiZ=], the duo befriends Xion and gains her trust whilst manipulating her to do their bidding.
* HateSink: The two are vile, sadistic and cruel. [[spoiler:Gradually {{subverted|Trope}} late during ''All That's Left'' when they begin to regain traces of their humanity from their time in Castle Oblivion.]]
* IdentityAmnesia: This is the reason for their interest in Castle Oblivion, a place which holds power over memories.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: They are clearly *not* good role models for Xion.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:In their past, Lauriam and Elrena were kind, soft-spoken and noble youths. In the present day, they couldn't be further from these things.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: They make it *clear* that they're more than willing to harm Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby to get to the Replica and Naminé.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Unlike his [[AxCrazy partner]], Marluxia uses a polite, amicable facade to conceal his true nature.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: When King Mickey comes to the Replica's aid, Marluxia decides to stop pursuing him... and go after Xion instead.
* ManipulativeBastard: Forms a [[FalseFriend friendship]] with Xion in order to exploit her Keyblade.

* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler:Tries to kill Ventus after seeing a memory of the former killing his sister.]] [[note]]Due to Marluxia's memories being corrupted and incomplete, he didn't know that Ventus was [[DemonicPossession possessed by Darkness]] at the time.[[/note]]

She and Marluxia spend much of ''The Year Between'' hunting the Replica and Naminé in hopes of acquiring their own Keyblade. When that fails, they set their sights on Xion.
