Ansem the Wise

Ansem the Wise was a king of the radiant garden world in the video-game Kingdom Hearts.
He is possessed by the Heartless and assimilated into the darkness, and later, his corporeal envelop is used as the manifested form of the mastermind behind the Heartless, Master Xehanort.
He was voiced by the late Christopher Lee in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Corey Burton (who also voiced Yen Sid) in English and Genzō Wakayama in Japanese. 
==History==
King Mickey became friends with Ansem when landing in Ansem's world during Mickey's exploration of the universe. Many details on Ansem are unknown except that he was a scientist, mage and king of his world and was beloved by his people as a good and wise king. Ansem's attempts to unlock the power of the human heart is ultimately what brought the Heartless into being and consumed his world in the process. Master Xehanort used not only Ansem's form, but name to first interact with the physical world in the first game.
Whether Ansem's heart still exists in his body or is lost some place in the darkness is unknown, but the current creature calling itself Ansem is not the same once wise king who existed before the start of the game.
sometime after being betrayed by xehanort and his other apprentices and being banished to the realm of darkness, he began calling himself “DIZ” and assisted Riku with escaping the realm of darkness. He soon after gave Riku a black coat to protect himself from the darkness and gave Riku a card to a place where he could confront Ansem (seeker of darkness). after defeating him and leaving castle oblivion, DIZ have Riku a choice of the road of light and darkness. He was mildly surprised that Riku instead the path in between and asked him if he meant the twilight road to nightfall, to which Riku replied “No, it’s the road to dawn.”
