Xehanort's Heartless, who took the name of his former master. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness was responsible for goading Riku into dooming his world and is indirectly responsible for Sora retaining a stronger Heartless form. After failing to possess Riku, Ansem draws upon the darkness within Hollow Bastion to regain his humanoid form.
-----
* AdaptationOriginConnection: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Unlike in canon, Ansem did not [[TimeTravel travel to the past]] to guide Young Xehanort and may very well be unaware of his younger self's presence in the current era.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: As this iteration of Organization XIII was not written with ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]]'''s revelations in mind, Xemnas and Ansem's plans do not overlap at all. Rather than being allies with a mutual goal, both are confident in their own plans and see each other as inferior.

->''"It's like I said: I'm here to see my destiny unfold. To view the World as it is well past my time… though, frankly, I'm a bit disappointed."''
A Keywielder-in-training and Xehanort's younger self. Having traveled from the past to see his grand destiny play out, Xehanort is disappointed with the way his plan to [[GrandTheftMe fill thirteen vessels with his heart]] has been derailed.
-----
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Rather than being guided by his future self, Young Xehanort chose to TimeTravel of his own accord while studying ancient and forbidden magic.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Due to the above backstory change, Young Xehanort did not meet his Heartless prior to time traveling.
* BadassBoast: Spouts one when confronting Nahxs. Too bad he underestimates the latter's ruthlessness.
-->How charming, but you are clearly out of your depth. Do you even realize who you are dealing with? Do you ''really'' think you stand a chance against the greatest Keybearer in all of history?!
* TheComicallySerious: In contrast to the LaughablyEvil Xigbar, Xehanort takes himself ''very'' seriously, which results in quite a few amusing moments.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs. Even he FacePalm[=s=] when he sees just how [[CannotTalkToWomen romantically inept]] Riku is.
* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. His overconfidence and sense of self-importance leads him to greatly underestimate both the strength of his opponents and his allies' loyalty to him.
* FlatWhat: When he learns that a [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} frozen heart]]; a nigh-incurable condition, can be cured with a [[TrueLovesKiss kiss]].
-->[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You cannot be serious.]] [[LampshadeHanging That timeless cliche?]]
* {{Foil}}: Like [[TheProtagonist Riku]], Xehanort is a cocky, arrogant silver-haired youth who left his home on Destiny Islands out of a desire to see the outside world. His overconfidence in his abilities is not unlike Riku prior to the former's CharacterDevelopment.
* GroinAttack: Is on the receiving end of this from Kairi, who does so with armor on.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Believes himself entitled to a grand destiny; that he is necessary for the worlds at large.
* LackOfEmpathy: Emphasized by his reaction to Riku's [[spoiler:heart being [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 frozen]]]].
-->It's a pity. Riku would make a fascinating case study…were his life more expendable.
* SequelHook: His presence serves as this for the next story arc.
* SmugSnake: Having discovered his future plans through TimeTravel, Xehanort is extremely arrogant, believing himself to be the greatest Keybearer in all of history despite having yet to finish his training. When confronted by [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Nahxs]], Xehanort's underestimation of the new recruit's abilities and depravity led to him nearly losing his life.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Unbeknownst to him, [[spoiler:Xemnas is ''not'' his Nobody in this continuity.]]
* VillainousRescue: When Riku's [[spoiler:heart is frozen by Elsa's magic, Xehanort attempts to save his life, [[DownplayedTrope but is only able to slow the progression of his condition]]]]. {{Justified|Trope}}: as Riku is one of the Seven Guardians of Light, Xehanort needs him alive for his own plans.
-->Because your destiny is too pivotal to end here…
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Reacts this way twice when Xigbar gets bored and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leaves]] to [[VillainsOutShopping watch TV]].

A gargantuan wolf-like Heartless which prowls the mountains around [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Arendelle]]. According to legend, it was once a god who turned into a [[TheHeartless Heartless]].
-----
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Is fought early on in the Arendelle arc rather than at the end. Even when it returns as a [[TheSoulless Nobody]] during the climax, it isn't the FinalBoss.
* AdaptationalRelationshipChange: With [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Hans]].In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Sköll is an alternate form of him, [[OneWingedAngel which he transforms into prior to battling the heroes]]. In this continuity, Hans fights Sköll alongside the heroes as a GuestStarPartyMember prior to them discovering his [[BitchInSheepsClothing true]] [[EvilAllAlong nature]].
* CastingAShadow: During its encounter in the forest, Sköll's howls actually ''cause the sky to darken''. It also retains its DesperationAttack from canon, summoning an enourmous dark sun that descends upon its opponents.
* DecompositeCharacter: Sköll exists indepentently from Hans instead of being an OneWingedAngel transformation for him.
* EyeScream: It has an arrow/crossbolt embedded in one eye.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Takes its name from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sköll a monstrous, sun-chasing wolf]] in Norse mythology.
* TheSoulless: Returns as a Nobody during the climax of the Arendelle arc.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Sköll is not Hans' Heartless in this continuity. {{Justified|Trope}} out-of-universe [[spoiler:due to Hans willingly casting away his heart and becoming a [[TheSoulless Nobody]] prior to the events of the story]].

->''“I needed you to remember me. That’s all we are in this castle. Memories. But yours are still corrupted. So…I am, too.”''
A [[LivingMemory projection]] of Lauriam's sister Strelitzia which appears when Marluxia recalls memories of his [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX past life]] in Castle Oblivion. Marluxia absorbs her during his confrontation with Xemnas, Aqua and Xiruk, where she takes a more [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories familiar form]].
-----
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Rather than appearing in ''Act 2: Fragmented Truths'' (the time period where ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]'' would have taken place), the Specter appears over a year later in ''Act 3: All That's Left''; the AU's equivalent of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts2''.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: She transforms into a ''massive'' {{winged|Humanoid}} GrimReaper after being absorbed by Marluxia.
* ClimaxBoss: Serves as this for ''Act 3: All That's Left''.
* CompositeCharacter: Of the eponymous FinalBoss of ''[[UpdatedRerelease Re:]][[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]'' and Data-Strelitzia from ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX Union χ [Cross] ]]''.
* TheCutie: Was an EndearinglyDorky NiceGirl during her lifetime. Xion [[LampshadedTrope lampshades]] this.
-->'''[[CutenessProximity Xion]]''': [[LampshadeHanging She’s such an adorable sweetie!]]
* DecompositeCharacter: Is the embodiment of Marluxia's lost memories and repressed powers from his [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX past life]].
* GrimReaper: Takes on the appearance of one during her battle.
* LivingMemory: A projection of Strelizia that appears from Marluxia's incomplete memories when the latter vists Castle Oblivion.
* LuminescentBlush: Gets incredibly flustered when Lauriam teases her over her crush on the ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'' protagonist in Marluxia's memories.
* PunchClockVillain: Shows visible disappointment when Marluxia attacks the heroes ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Xemnas]]) in an attempt to kill Ventus. Yet she herself ends up battling them after being forcefully absorbed by Marluxia.
* SinisterScythe: Wields an enourmous one during her fight, which gets chopped to pieces by Aqua.
* YouAreNotReady: When Marluxia learnt that his sister Strelitzia was killed by Ventus (not knowing that the latter was [[DemonicPossession possessed by Darkness]] at the time), the Specter urged him not to act hastily until he knew the full truth. Marluxia ignored this advice, resulting in him [[YouKilledMyFather attempting to kill a revived Ventus out of revenge]].

->''"Kingdom Hearts, fill me… with the power of darkness! Let the light fade from the worlds, forever lost to your fury…"''
Xehanort's Heartless, who took the name of his former master. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness was responsible for goading Riku into dooming his world and is indirectly responsible for Sora retaining a stronger Heartless form. After failing to possess Riku, Ansem draws upon the darkness within Hollow Bastion to regain his humanoid form.
-----
* AdaptationOriginConnection: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Unlike in canon, Ansem did not [[TimeTravel travel to the past]] to guide Young Xehanort and may very well be unaware of his younger self's presence in the current era.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: As this iteration of Organization XIII was not written with ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]]'''s revelations in mind, Xemnas and Ansem's plans do not overlap at all. Rather than being allies with a mutual goal, both are confident in their own plans and see each other as inferior.
* ArcVillain: [[spoiler:For Riku's arc in ''The Year Between''.]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Returns in ''The Year Between'' as the main antagonist of Riku's side of the story.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: Alongside Maleficent in ''Act 1''.
* FinalBoss: The final opponent Riku faces in ''Act 1'' [[spoiler:and ''The Year Between'']].
* TheHeavy: He was responsible for manipulating Riku into opening the door to his own world's Keyhole, thus kickstarting the plot of the series.
* InTheHood: Spends the majority of ''Act 1'' in the form of a disembodied hooded cloak.
* ManipulativeBastard: Preyed upon Riku's insecurities and fear of abandonment to coax him into opening the door to his world's heart.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: His Guardian does not contain Terra's Heart in this continuity.

->''"It's like I said: I'm here to see my destiny unfold. To view the World as it is well past my time… though, frankly, I'm a bit disappointed."''
A Keywielder-in-training and Xehanort's younger self. Having traveled from the past to see his grand destiny play out, Xehanort is disappointed with the way his plan to [[GrandTheftMe fill thirteen vessels with his heart]] has been derailed.
-----
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Rather than being guided by his future self, Young Xehanort chose to TimeTravel of his own accord while studying ancient and forbidden magic.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Due to the above backstory change, Young Xehanort did not meet his Heartless prior to time traveling.
* BadassBoast: Spouts one when confronting Nahxs. Too bad he underestimates the latter's ruthlessness.
-->How charming, but you are clearly out of your depth. Do you even realize who you are dealing with? Do you ''really'' think you stand a chance against the greatest Keybearer in all of history?!
* TheComicallySerious: In contrast to the LaughablyEvil Xigbar, Xehanort takes himself ''very'' seriously, which results in quite a few amusing moments.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs. Even he FacePalm[=s=] when he sees just how [[CannotTalkToWomen romantically inept]] Riku is.
* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. His overconfidence and sense of self-importance leads him to greatly underestimate both the strength of his opponents and his allies' loyalty to him.
* FlatWhat: When he learns that a [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} frozen heart]]; a nigh-incurable condition, can be cured with a [[TrueLovesKiss kiss]].
-->[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You cannot be serious.]] [[LampshadeHanging That timeless cliche?]]
* {{Foil}}: Like [[TheProtagonist Riku]], Xehanort is a cocky, arrogant silver-haired youth who left his home on Destiny Islands out of a desire to see the outside world. His overconfidence in his abilities is not unlike Riku prior to the former's CharacterDevelopment.
* GroinAttack: Is on the receiving end of this from Kairi, who does so with armor on.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Believes himself entitled to a grand destiny; that he is necessary for the worlds at large.
* LackOfEmpathy: Emphasized by his reaction to Riku's [[spoiler:heart being [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 frozen]]]].
-->It's a pity. Riku would make a fascinating case study…were his life more expendable.
* SequelHook: His presence serves as this for the next story arc.
* SmugSnake: Having discovered his future plans through TimeTravel, Xehanort is extremely arrogant, believing himself to be the greatest Keybearer in all of history despite having yet to finish his training. When confronted by [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation Nahxs]], Xehanort's underestimation of the new recruit's abilities and depravity led to him nearly losing his life.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Unbeknownst to him, [[spoiler:Xemnas is ''not'' his Nobody in this continuity.]]
* VillainousRescue: When Riku's [[spoiler:heart is frozen by Elsa's magic, Xehanort attempts to save his life, [[DownplayedTrope but is only able to slow the progression of his condition]]]]. {{Justified|Trope}}: as Riku is one of the Seven Guardians of Light, Xehanort needs him alive for his own plans.
-->Because your destiny is too pivotal to end here…
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Reacts this way twice when Xigbar gets bored and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leaves]] to [[VillainsOutShopping watch TV]].
-->'''Xehanort:''' The future of the Organization is dying on this couch, and [[SkewedPriorities you would rather]] ''[[SkewedPriorities watch TV?]]''\\
'''Xigbar:''' [[BluntYes Yep.]]

!!Sköll
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10955229/1/Antipode-Act-3-All-That-s-Left Act 3: All That's Left]]''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skll.png]]
->'''Hans''': ''“The legends are true… Sköll…”''
->'''Soldier''': ''“The god who became a Heartless…”''
A gargantuan wolf-like Heartless which prowls the mountains around [[Franchise/{{Frozen}} Arendelle]]. According to legend, it was once a god who turned into a [[TheHeartless Heartless]].
-----
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Is fought early on in the Arendelle arc rather than at the end. Even when it returns as a [[TheSoulless Nobody]] during the climax, it isn't the FinalBoss.
* AdaptationalRelationshipChange: With [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Hans]].In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Sköll is an alternate form of him, [[OneWingedAngel which he transforms into prior to battling the heroes]]. In this continuity, Hans fights Sköll alongside the heroes as a GuestStarPartyMember prior to them discovering his [[BitchInSheepsClothing true]] [[EvilAllAlong nature]].
* CastingAShadow: During its encounter in the forest, Sköll's howls actually ''cause the sky to darken''. It also retains its DesperationAttack from canon, summoning an enourmous dark sun that descends upon its opponents.
* DecompositeCharacter: Sköll exists indepentently from Hans instead of being an OneWingedAngel transformation for him.
* EyeScream: It has an arrow/crossbolt embedded in one eye.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Takes its name from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sköll a monstrous, sun-chasing wolf]] in Norse mythology.
* TheSoulless: Returns as a Nobody during the climax of the Arendelle arc.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Sköll is not Hans' Heartless in this continuity. {{Justified|Trope}} out-of-universe [[spoiler:due to Hans willingly casting away his heart and becoming a [[TheSoulless Nobody]] prior to the events of the story]].

->''“I needed you to remember me. That’s all we are in this castle. Memories. But yours are still corrupted. So…I am, too.”''
A [[LivingMemory projection]] of Lauriam's sister Strelitzia which appears when Marluxia recalls memories of his [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX past life]] in Castle Oblivion. Marluxia absorbs her during his confrontation with Xemnas, Aqua and Xiruk, where she takes a more [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories familiar form]].
-----
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Rather than appearing in ''Act 2: Fragmented Truths'' (the time period where ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]'' would have taken place), the Specter appears over a year later in ''Act 3: All That's Left''; the AU's equivalent of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts2''.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: She transforms into a ''massive'' {{winged|Humanoid}} GrimReaper after being absorbed by Marluxia.
* ClimaxBoss: Serves as this for ''Act 3: All That's Left''.
* CompositeCharacter: Of the eponymous FinalBoss of ''[[UpdatedRerelease Re:]][[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]'' and Data-Strelitzia from ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX Union χ [Cross] ]]''.
* TheCutie: Was an EndearinglyDorky NiceGirl during her lifetime. Xion [[LampshadedTrope lampshades]] this.
-->'''[[CutenessProximity Xion]]''': [[LampshadeHanging She’s such an adorable sweetie!]]
* DecompositeCharacter: Is the embodiment of Marluxia's lost memories and repressed powers from his [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX past life]].
* GrimReaper: Takes on the appearance of one during her battle.
* LivingMemory: A projection of Strelizia that appears from Marluxia's incomplete memories when the latter vists Castle Oblivion.
* LuminescentBlush: Gets incredibly flustered when Lauriam teases her over her crush on the ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'' protagonist in Marluxia's memories.
* PunchClockVillain: Shows visible disappointment when Marluxia attacks the heroes ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Xemnas]]) in an attempt to kill Ventus. Yet she herself ends up battling them after being forcefully absorbed by Marluxia.
* SinisterScythe: Wields an enourmous one during her fight, which gets chopped to pieces by Aqua.
* YouAreNotReady: When Marluxia learnt that his sister Strelitzia was killed by Ventus (not knowing that the latter was [[DemonicPossession possessed by Darkness]] at the time), the Specter urged him not to act hastily until he knew the full truth. Marluxia ignored this advice, resulting in him [[YouKilledMyFather attempting to kill a revived Ventus out of revenge]].
