Master Xehanort

*They say ruin brings about creation. So, what then would another Keyblade War bring? When the darkness falls, will we be found worthy of the precious light the legend speaks of? I must have these answers. The χ-blade needs to be forged and with it, the door to the Keyblade War unlocked.*
—Xehanort
**Master Xehanort** is the main antagonist of the *Kingdom Hearts* series. He appeared in the 93rd episode of DBX, Palpatine VS Xehanort, where he fought against Emperor Palpatine from the *Star Wars* series.

## History

Born on Destiny Islands, Xehanort was always a curious young man, edging his scientific discoveries of the Darkness inherent in all worlds. The world of Destiny Islands was just too small for him, and when being met with a future version of himself, he saw an oppurtunity to satisfy his curiosity. After some time-travel shenanigans, he came back from the future and started his Keyblade training under the Master of Masters, alongside his brother-in-arms Eraqus.

Eventually, Xehanort and Eraqus were granted the title of Keyblade Masters, and Xehanort swapped out his old keyblade for the fabled No Name, which was passed down to him presumably by Luxu, the Master of Master’s apprentice. After some time, Xehanort and Eraqus both grew old and began training three new Keyblade warriors - Terra and Aqua. Xehanort found another boy with the ability to summon the Keyblade, Ventus, and broke his heart in two halves - a light and a dark. Sometime later, Xehanort did battle with these three as they caught wind of his plan to reopen Kingdom Hearts with the χ-Blade, and in turn he took over the body of Terra. This would lead to the creation of what we know as Terra-Xehanort.

Studying under Ansem the Wise, Xehanort’s curiosity never truly fell, and he began to research darkness in secret. In turn, he transformed his body into two halves in an experiment - his Heartless, Ansem (Seeker Of Darkness), and his Nobody, Xemnas. After a new Keyblade wielder, Sora, defeated both his Heartless and Nobody, Xehanort was reborn as the old man we know and love. Then, he enacted a new plan to open Kingdom Hearts after his old one failed - he would use 13 darknesses and 7 lights, and together they would clash in the Keyblade Graveyard, awakening the χ-Blade and awakening Kingdom Hearts, all to satisfy his curiosity.
