'''Organization XIII''' is a group of thirteen powerful [[Nobody|Nobodies]] who seek to reclaim their [[heart]]s and become whole again. They are the antagonists of ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', all will be playable in the upcoming game ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' which happens after Roxas' birth. There will also be a fourteenth member which is known to be female.

[[File:Organization XIII KHD.png|thumb|400px|The members of Organization XIII.]]
{{nihongo|'''Organization XIII'''|XIII機関|Jūsan Kikan}}, sometimes simply called the '''Organization''', is a group of thirteen powerful [[Nobody|Nobodies]] led by [[Xemnas]], who seek to reclaim their [[heart]]s and become whole again by creating [[Kingdom Hearts]]. Although the group only has thirteen "true" members, it includes a fourteenth pseudo-member, [[Xion]]. They serve as major antagonists throughout the [[Dark Seeker Saga]], with their members appearing in every game except the original ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', and are, unbeknownst to all but their highest ranks, the main agents of [[Xehanort]]'s own plans to conquer Kingdom Hearts.


Organization XIII debuted in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', then known as simply, "the Organization." In [[Sora]]'s story, the player was introduced to (in no particular order) [[Marluxia]], [[Axel]], [[Larxene]], and [[Vexen]]. In Reverse/Rebirth, [[Zexion]] and [[Lexaeus]] were added to the cast.
Members of Organization XIII first appeared in ''[[Another side, Another story...]]'', and they debuted in canon through the [[Game:Xemnas|Unknown]], who serves as a boss battle in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. The group itself was introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and while the members usually serve as bosses, they were even made playable in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.
The Organization also appeared in [[Kingdom Hearts II]]. In this second installment, the player meets (once again, in no particular order) [[Xigbar]], [[Xaldin]], [[Saïx]], [[Demyx]], [[Luxord]], [[Roxas]], the leader [[Xemnas]], and the returning member, [[Axel]].


As they lack hearts, they have no emotions. Many of them try to hide this fact by pretending that they possess these qualities, fooling others as well as themselves. The Organization yearns to discover the secrets of the heart and fill the empty void inside themselves by gathering hearts to form [[Kingdom Hearts (combined heart)|Kingdom Hearts]] so they can become full beings again. While each member is aware of their lack of emotions - a fact that makes them feel inadequate - they fill their non-existence with their favorite pastimes. The ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' manga and several other media forms provide an alternative view, saying that they ''do'' have emotions, but are plagued by a feeling of uncertainty and emptiness due to not having hearts.
Because all of the members are Nobodies they lack their original hearts, and it is initially claimed in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' that this means they cannot have emotions, instead relying on acting to unnerve and toy with their opponents. The Organization yearns to discover the secrets of the heart and become full beings again by gathering hearts to form [[Kingdom Hearts]]. Despite this, most of the members begin demonstrating true emotions as time goes on, and it is eventually revealed that while they lacked their original hearts, Xemnas's plan revolved around filling the hole with pieces of his own heart, essentially turning each of them into copies of himself. Despite lacking normal emotions, or perhaps because of it, many members of the group are remarkably disloyal to its head, and much of their story revolves around key betrayals or attempted coups.


Their inclusion to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' storyline marks the more mature nature of the ''Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' story lines as they introduce the concepts of duplicity among the villain, minor physical abuse, manipulation of sentimental matters and, on some level, real death (the Heartless invasion of Hollow Bastion which was their doing inadvertently incapacitates Goofy for a short time, leading even the player to falsely believe that he is dead). It is possible that there are Heartless versions of the members of the Organization (with the exception of Xemnas, whose Heartless form was destroyed by [[Sora]], [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] in the events of the first game and, of course, Roxas, whose Heartless was Sora himself) though whether this will be touched upon in a later game is to be seen.
==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
[[File:Apprentices of Ansem KHBBS.png|left|230px|thumb|The six founders of Organization XIII.]]
Ten years ago, the founding members of the Organization live in [[Radiant Garden]] as humans. [[Ventus]] encounters [[Dilan]], [[Even]], [[Aeleus]], and [[Ienzo]], who work in [[Ansem the Wise]]'s castle, as his guards and apprentices. He also meets [[Isa]] and [[Lea]], two youths who have an interest in the castle.
[[Braig]] serves as a co-conspirator in [[Master Xehanort]]'s ruthless ambitions, acquiring his signature scars and eyepatch following a battle against [[Terra]]. He appears at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] to assist Xehanort, occupying [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]]'s attention. By this time, Braig houses a piece of Xehanort's heart inside himself.
After [[Terra-Xehanort]] is taken in by Ansem the Wise, Braig works together with him, laying the foundations for Organization XIII.
{{-}}
 
===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[File:My Name is Ansem 01 KH3D.png|thumb|200px|Even and Ienzo moments before they turn into Vexen and Zexion.]]
Organization XIII was formed by a group of researchers working under [[Ansem the Wise]], the ruler of [[Radiant Garden]], within his castle of Hollow Bastion. The head of this group was Ansem's apprentice, [[Xehanort]], with the others being [[Braig]], [[Dilan]], [[Even]], [[Aeleus]], and [[Ienzo]]. Ansem the Wise began initiating tests about the human heart, focusing mainly on Xehanort, with the hopes of recovering his lost memories. At the urging of Ienzo, he constructed a massive laboratory under the castle. However, Ansem the Wise soon ceased his experiments, for he feared that going too deep would have grave repercussions, also noting Xehanort's apparently-superhuman abilities.
 
However, his six apprentices, still seduced by the desire for knowledge, conducted their own dangerous experiments on countless subjects. Eventually, they discovered the beings called [[Heartless]], those that are born from the [[darkness]] in a heart and seek others as well. Xehanort, having taken on Ansem's name and writing his findings under it, opened a door he discovered, breaking down the barriers between worlds and allowing travel between them. Isa and Lea became apprentices in order to rescue [[Subject X]] a girl they befriended and was one of the test subjects. When a king named [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] arrived, the six men's desire for knowledge eventually caused Xehanort to abandon his [[body]], becoming a Heartless (though he was unusual in that he had a human form and retained his memories), with the other seven soon following. Thus, the first six members of Organization XIII were born, and they banished Ansem to a [[Realm of Darkness]] with the seventh and eighth members joined afterwards.
 
Over the next nine years, the Organization increased its numbers from eight to twelve, with [[Demyx]], [[Luxord]], [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]] joining their ranks.


==Origin==
At some point, the Organization discovered [[Castle Oblivion]], and decided to convert into a second base for the purpose of researching memories. Xemnas secretly had certain members look through the castle to find the [[Chamber of Waking]].
{{Spoiler}}
[[Image:Organization XIII by Jazhelop.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Collage of the Organization members.]]
Organization XIII was formed by a group of scientists working under a man called [[Ansem the Wise]], the ruler of [[Radiant Garden]], and worked from Ansem's castle, [[Hollow Bastion]]. The head of this group was Ansem's apprentice, [[Xehanort]], with the others being [[Xigbar|Braig]], [[Xaldin|Dilan]], [[Vexen|Even]], [[Lexaeus|Aeleus]], and [[Zexion|Ienzo]]. Ansem the Wise began initiating tests about the human heart, focusing mainly on Xehanort, with the hopes of recovering his lost memories. At the urging of Ienzo, he constructed a massive laboratory under the castle. However, Ansem the Wise soon ceased his experiments, for he feared that going too deep would have grave repercussions, also noting Xehanort's "superhuman" abilities.


However, his six apprentices, still seduced by the desire for knowledge, conducted their own, dangerous, experiments on countless subjects. Eventually, they discovered the beings called [[Heartless]], those that are born from the darkness in a heart and  seek others as well. Xehanort, having taken on Ansem's name and writing his findings under it, opened a door he discovered, breaking down the barriers between worlds and allowing travel between them. And when the king named [[King Mickey|Mickey]] arrived, the six men's desire for knowledge eventually caused Xehanort to abandon his body, becoming a Heartless (though he was unusual in that he had a human form and retained his memories), with the other five soon following. Thus, the first six members of Organization XIII were born, and they banished Ansem to a realm of nothingness.
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
Xemnas appears at [[Hollow Bastion]] to battle Sora, testing his abilities after just recruiting his newly created [[Nobody]], [[Roxas]].

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
[[File:Marluxia's Graceful Blade 01 KHRECOM.png|thumb|200px|left|Marluxia orders Vexen to eliminate Sora.]]
The neophytes, [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]], try to take control of the Organization by using [[Sora]] as their puppet by manipulating his memories with [[Naminé]]'s magic. The senior members assigned to [[Castle Oblivion]], [[Vexen]], [[Lexaeus]], and [[Zexion]], try to counter his plot by exploiting the powerful darkness that lays within Riku's heart. However, each group ends up being slain by heroes they sought to control, leaving [[Axel]] as the only survivor of the castle.

[[File:Meet Xion 06 KHD.png|thumb|200px|Xemnas introduce Organization XIII to their new member, Xion.]]
Organization XIII slays many Heartless to finish their Kingdom Hearts, which consists of the hearts of people instead of worlds. Since Roxas and Xion are able to wield the [[Keyblade]], they are used to achieve this goal. In the end, both leave the Organization, with Xion absorbed into Roxas, and Roxas captured by Riku.
{{sec-stub}}


[[Image:Cloak.jpg|thumb|124px|left|A cloaked and hooded member of Organization XIII (Xemnas).]]
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
Each member in the Organization dons the same uniform, regardless of whether they are male or female. The uniform consists of a single black leather hooded cloak. It is plainly adorned with a silver zipper and seemingly pointless silver beaded pull strings for the hood that form a semi-circle in the middle. Each member wears their zippers at differing points.
Only seven members ([[Xemnas]], [[Axel]], [[Demyx]], [[Xaldin]], [[Xigbar]], [[Luxord]], and [[Saïx]]) of the Organization remained by the time Sora reawakens. Sora and his friends end up taking every single remaining member down, save Axel, who sacrificed himself so that Sora and his friends could save [[Kairi]]. In the end, Organization XIII is ultimately destroyed when Sora and Riku defeat Xemnas.
{{-}}


Not much is known about the under garments of the Organization. It is known, however, that they all wear [[wikipedia:hakama|hakama]]-esque black pants and knee high silver trimmed boots (although Roxas wears shoes of the same color, and Larxene wears somewhat of a female version of the boots with a heel). In addition to this, they all bear black leather gloves of some unknown length, as they disappear under bell shaped sleeves. Some members have different-looking coats, for example Axel, whose sleeves are tight around his wrists. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the hems of each cloak are each slightly different, as well as the shoulder pads (such as those of Demyx and Xigbar, which seem to be slightly pointed).
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
Following the Organization's defeat the recompleted members split in two camps; some electing to return to their Nobody state as members of Xehanort's [[Real Organization XIII]], while others choose to assist Sora in his endeavors against the new Organization.

[[File:The Meaning of "Roxas" 01 KHIIFM.png|left|thumb|200px|Roxas undergoes the naming ceremony.]]
Once discovered, a humanoid Nobody is inducted into the Organization when an existing member gives them their new name. These names are anagrams of the names of their original identities with the insertion of an "[[Recusant's Sigil|X]]" as both a symbol that they have rejected their old identities and as a callback to the [[χ-blade]].<ref>[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts II'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Previously you said 'The members of the XIII Organization have something hidden in their names', can you reveal the answer to us now?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Before this, I've mentioned that when their names are spelt in Roman alphabets, there will surely be an "X", right? The truth is that when the "X" is taken away, the alphabets that are left behind is an anagram of the members' real names when they were humans." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/Kingdom-Hearts-II-Ultimania-Main-Nomura-Interview-2553 Translation via Maiki].</ref><ref>[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Where did the Organization's coat and mark come from?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "One year after ''Birth by Sleep'', Xehanort, as well as five other apprentices toss aside their hearts. Then the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates takes a lot of things from his memories, as a human. But as Xemnas had two people who he was, Terra and Master Xehanort, he takes from both of their memories. [...] Xemnas gives Organization members names with an X in them. This has something to do with Master Xehanort's interest in the χ-blade." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> The only exception to this is the pseudo-member Xion, whose name is based on an anagram of "No.i", her ID as one of the [[Replica]]s.


Ranks within the Organization have little to nothing to do with power. While [[Xehanort]]'s [[Nobody]], known as [[Xemnas]], is the strongest as well as the leader, the rest fall in the order they joined. As the group's name describes, there are a total thirteen members. Besides for having a numerical rank, each member also has an assigned title. The only exception to this is Xemnas, who, if anything else, is called "The Superior". The ranks and titles are as follows:
In the naming ritual, the name of the [[Nobody]]'s "other" appears before them in translucent, iridescent [[light]], then an "X" drops down and the letters re-arrange themselves until they form a new name.


# [[Xemnas]]; "The Superior;" Controlled [[Sorcerer]]s, used the attribute of Darkness and energy blades, which somewhat resemble lightsabers.
[[File:Up Until Now and From Here On Out 03 KHII.png|thumb|200px|The black coats worn by Organization XIII.]]
# [[Xigbar]]; "The Freeshooter;" Controlled [[Sniper]]s, used the attribute of Gravity and used gun sniper to attack.
After being renamed, each member is given a uniform and a rank from I to XIII. The rank is based on seniority, and although the leader of the Organization, Xemnas, is also the rank I member, the ranks are not true measures of authority within the Organization. For example, the rank IV Vexen, a founding member of the Organization, is subordinate to the rank XI Marluxia, while the rank VII Saïx acts as Xemnas's second-in-command, right before the rank II Xigbar. Their uniform, a [[Black Coat]], was chosen because it was something once worn by [[Xehanort]], Xemnas's primary original persona, to safeguard him from the darkness between worlds while not cutting him off from it.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''' "...the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories as a human... The coat used by the Organization was something that Master Xehanort originally wore."</ref> It is plainly adorned with a silver zipper and seemingly decorative silver beaded pull strings for the hood that form a semi-circle in the middle. Each member wears their zippers at differing points. Underneath their coats, most of the members wear {{w|hakama}}-esque black pants and knee-high silver trimmed boots, with the exceptions of Roxas, who wears sneakers of the same color, and Larxene and Xion, who wear a more feminized version of the boots with heels. In addition to this, they all wear lengthy black gloves. The exact contours of the coats vary from person to person.
# [[Xaldin]]; "The Whirlwind Lancer;" Controlled [[Dragoon]]s, used the attribute of Wind and six dragon-themed ginsu or lances.
# [[Vexen]]; "The Chilly Academic", used the attribute of Ice and a shield.
# [[Lexaeus]]; "The Silent Hero", used the attribute of Earth and a giant tomahawk.
# [[Zexion]]; "The Cloaked Schemer", used the attribute of Illusion, and a lexicon (which is the Greek term for "dictionary").
# [[Saïx]]; "The Luna Diviner;" Controlled [[Berserker]]s, used the power of the Moon, and a claymore.
# [[Axel]]; "The Flurry of Dancing Flames;" Controlled [[Assassin]]s, used the attribute of Fire and twin chakrams.
# [[Demyx]]; "The Melodious Nocturne;" Controlled [[Dancer]]s, used the attribute of Water and a sitar.
# [[Luxord]]; "The Gambler of Fate;" Controlled [[Gambler]]s, used the attribute of Time as well as cards and dice.
# [[Marluxia]]; "The Graceful Assassin", used the attribute of Nature and a scythe.
# [[Larxene]]; "The Savage Nymph", used the attribute of Lightning and kunai.
# [[Roxas]]; "The Key of Destiny;" Controlled [[Samurai]], used the attribute of Light and wielded up to three different Keyblades (due to being Sora's nobody). He wielded a Oathkeeper and Oblivion which represents Kairi and Riku, respectively, but soon acquired the Kingdom Key Keyblade.
# (Unknown); A new character will be featured in the upcoming Nintendo DS game ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. The only known facts about this new character so far, is that it is female, and that it ''isn't'' Naminé, as stated by Tetsuya Nomura during an interview with Famitsu.


Each of the titles correspond to whichever element the particular member controls, a particular trait, or the type of weapon they have.
Once fully inducted, the new members are introduced to the other members at '''[[Where Nothing Gathers]]''', the meeting chamber of the Organization deep within their home base of the [[Castle That Never Was]]. The room contains thirteen thrones, one for each member, whose height is adjustable, with Xemnas's throne being the highest.<ref>'''''The Scenario Mysteries in "Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ Ultimania, page 502)''''', '''Interviewer''': "During the meetings, the members of Organization XIII are sitting in chairs. Is the height of these chairs determined by things like their skills and abilities?" / '''Nomura''': "No, the height of the chairs is not fixated, they move. That is to say, the height is up to each person. The leader, Xemnas, is always the highest and to be at the same height as him would have a pretty bad feeling, so the other members wouldn't do that."</ref> To his left are the odd-number ranked members while to his right are the even-numbered. Starting from Xemnas, clockwise, the members are Xaldin, Lexaeus, Saïx, Demyx, Marluxia, and Roxas, then Larxene, Luxord, Axel, Zexion, Vexen and Xigbar.
 
The Organization is also represented within the '''[[Proof of Existence]]''', a room within the castle's central tower that contains thirteen portals marked with images of each of the members' weapons. The portals lead to other rooms, presumably belonging to each member of the Organization, and the state of the portal is a mirror of its member's own state: when a member has been destroyed, their portal is rendered inactive or can even break.<!--cover the Replica Data room-->
 
Members of the Organization are assigned various missions in order to hasten the completion of Kingdom Hearts. As Xemnas's second-in-command, Saïx is tasked with giving assignments to the other members. As Roxas and Xion are the only two able to harvest hearts, the other members are given other duties, such as performing reconnaissance or trying to sow seeds of darkness in order to promote good conditions for harvesting hearts. At the end of each mission, Organization members will {{nihongo|'''RTC'''|帰還|Kikan|lit. "Return"}}, or "Return to Castle", regrouping at the Castle That Never Was to await their next orders.
 
Each member is aware of their lack of emotions, and many of them pretend to have emotions. For example, Saïx battles in a seeming rage, while Larxene taunts her opponents by giggling and winking. The idea that the Nobodies lack emotions is expanded upon in the manga and novel series, which depict the members with true emotions, but explain that they are plagued by a feeling of uncertainty and emptiness due to not having hearts. The manga further displays this "plagued" feeling by showing the members engaging in tasks like jigsaw puzzles, cooking, and reading to try to fill their emptiness.

===Differences===
===Members===
There are a few major differences between the [[Nobody|Nobodies]] within the Organization and the ones that [[Sora]] frequently encounters throughout the game. The average type that Sora fights often have strange features, enhanced speed, metallic skin in shades of white, silver, and blue, and the trademark [[Nobody]] symbol (which doubles as the logo for the Organization). The Nobodies that make up the Organization have human forms with limited special powers, revolving around thirteen different elements. One ability shared by all the members is the power to summon an oval, obsidian portal of darkness that leads to the unseen paths of darkness. These portals are known as corridors of darkness. The Organization makes use of the paths to move to and from worlds unseen without fear for their well-being compared to those who are attuned with darkness and still have hearts.
Aside from the rank and name given to them by the Organization, each member has a unique weapon, often with a Nobody-aesthetic, as well as a title and an elemental attribute. These titles specify the role of the member, and often reference their elemental attribute or weapons as well.
{{-}}


===Lesser Nobodies===
Most and possibly all members of the Organization also have control over a specific breed of high-ranking Nobody, although Xemnas has primary control over them should the member betray the Organization. The breeds are named after recurring ''{{ff|Final Fantasy}}'' job classes, and mimic their Organization member's general role.
A few select members of the Organization have control over the other, weaker [[Nobodies]], though this is only shown in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. The members from ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' may also have had that ability, or rather, would have, had they all survived to the second game. Like their titles, each member's lesser Nobody has some similarity to them. These lesser Nobodies are called [[Sorcerer]]s, [[Sniper]]s, [[Dragoon]]s, [[Berserker]]s, [[Assassin]]s, [[Dancer]]s, [[Gambler]]s, and [[Samurai]]. Sorcerer Nobodies are under the command of Xemnas. They float over the ground constantly, possessing a grace much like that of Xemnas, and utilize large cubes of nothingness in several ways. They are the most powerful and rarest of the lesser Nobodies.  Sniper Nobodies are controlled by [[Xigbar]] and, like him, carry spiky guns that shoot small red crystallized lasers. Dragoon Nobodies are controlled by [[Xaldin]] because of his affinity with wind, and possess a singular lance that mirrors the six that he fights with. Berserker Nobodies are under [[Saïx]]'s power and, as with the previously mentioned lesser Nobodies, hold a weapon identical to that of their master. An observant player will also notice that Berserker Nobodies go through random surges of anger, much like Saïx when he draws upon the power of the moon. Next are the Assassin Nobodies. This group is under [[Axel]]'s control, capable of becoming a circular form similar to Axel's weapon, hiding away for short periods of time before attacking, and causing powerful explosions. Dancer Nobodies are the most colorful of all the lesser Nobody, featuring bright colors such as orange and pink. They are [[Demyx]]'s servants and relate to him due to his musical nature. The Gambler Nobodies are under [[Luxord]]'s rule. Luxord, being a gambler of many things, fights with cards, which they use as well, along with several die. The final of these lesser Nobodies are Samurai, which [[Roxas]] controls. While being a seemingly unlikely choice, Samurai wield two broad swords (rather than the typical [[wikipedia:katana|katana]]) just as Roxas wields two [[Keyblade]]s, Oblivion and Oathkeeper. The Lesser Nobodies are named after recurring Final Fantasy job classes and share similar traits with them such as the Dragoons ability to jump.
{{-}}


===Naming===
[[Xion]], the nominal fourteenth member of the Organization, is the only one without a title. Her lack of full membership is due to her status as a [[Replica]] meant to absorb Sora's leaking memories through Roxas and eventually replace the both of them, becoming a puppet Keyblade wielder for the Organization.
[[Image:Naming Ceremony.png|left|thumb|159px|[[Roxas]] undergoes the naming ceremony]]
A common thread between all of the members is the "X" that appears within each of their names. As revealed by [[wikipedia:Tetsuya Nomura|Tetsuya Nomura]], the director of the game, by removing the "X", the remaining letters form an anagram of the members' original name from when they were humans. For instance, "Roxas" is an anagram of "Sora", and "Xemnas" is an anagram of "Ansem". Xemnas' true name is Xehanort; his name is an anagram of 'no heart' or 'another' with an X added. Such thoughts made many fans anxious to try and figure out for themselves the rest of the Organization's member's names. The name of the [[Nobody|Nobodies]]' "other" appears before them in translucent, rainbow colored font (similar to the one shown at the intro to "[[The World That Never Was]]"). Then, an "x" drops down and the letters re-arrange themselves until they form a new name. It is also suggested that [[Xemnas]] is the one who performs this ceremony, although that may not necessarily be the case as Xigbar found Marluxia and quite possibly named him. {{-}}


===[[Where Nothing Gathers]]===
{|border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 style="text-align:center; font-size:90%; width:700px" align="center"
Somewhere in The Castle That Never Was, inaccessible to the player, is the meeting room of the Organization. This area can be accessed with a cheat code, though - the platform with the Organization symbol can be walked on, but none of the thrones can. The game calls the area "Where Nothing Gathers" - suggesting it may have been in the final game as a full area, but was dropped later. It is a white cylindrical room with thirteen extremely tall white thrones. The height of these thrones is determined by the amount of missions the respective members complete and the height tends to change depending on the sucess or failure of those missions. However, Xemnas's throne is always the highest as he is the leader and therefore has completed the highest amount of missions. To his left are the odd-number ranked members while to his right are the even-numbered. Starting from Xemnas, clockwise: Xaldin, Lexaeus, Saïx, Demyx, Marluxia, Roxas, Larxene, Luxord, Axel, Zexion, Vexen and Xigbar.

In the new cutscenes of ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', everytime a missing member is referred to during a meeting, the camera's focus will shift briefly to that said member's throne (such as when Xaldin reminded Axel, that, despite indirectly, he eliminated the traitors Marluxia and Larxene, the camera briefly shifts to view their thrones. The conversation concerns Axel's orders to destroy Roxas and fittingly enough, Roxas's throne is between theirs)

===Proof of Existence===
{{tab|c}}{{tab|c}}
In the central tower of The Castle That Never Was, the room is something of a graveyard or a place where beings who can't use the portal to darkness use the doorway-like portals to reach other members of the organization. This chamber has thirteen portals which lead to a certain area throughout the castle, the portals are placed simultaneously along the walls and glow blue if that specific member is alive but red when that one is dead. Starting from Xemnas's which is actually a path to the The Altar of Naught, going downwards are two more then below them are four and after them are eight with a path cutting half way between the portals. The portals lead to large chambers which are areas that the Organization dwel when they are resting, so far only three are known with the Altar of Naught being were Xemnas resides and the highest point in the castle, Havoc's Divide which is a large slanted balcony were Luxord resides and Addled Impasse where Saïx lives which is a large circular room with a balcony made of glass and looks up towards the moon. Note that for gameplay purposes, the gates to Havoc's Divide and Addled Impasse remain active even after Luxord and Saïx are felled. Also, for the same reasons, Roxas' still-active gate (since he still exists within Sora) is broken and rendered unusable. It may be broken, though, due to the fact that while Roxas still exists, he does not physically. It is a theory that an organization member may destory this tomestones so that the fallen comrades secrets are not revealed to outsiders, and the only reason Xemnas did not destroy Saïx or Luxord's tomestone is because he was too busy with Kingdom Hearts, saying this Luxord or Saïx had amply time to destroy Xigbar's while Sora and co. where climbing the castle. The rooms name is proof that Nobodies tried to prove they exist. The tombstones, titles and portals may also be the Nobodies way of convincing themselves they existed or exist.

Latest revision as of 19:23, 22 April 2024

This article is about the original Organization XIII.
You may be looking for the real Organization XIII, the musical theme, or the chapter in the Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories manga.
The members of Organization XIII.

Organization XIII (XIII機関 Jūsan Kikan?), sometimes simply called the Organization, is a group of thirteen powerful Nobodies led by Xemnas, who seek to reclaim their hearts and become whole again by creating Kingdom Hearts. Although the group only has thirteen "true" members, it includes a fourteenth pseudo-member, Xion. They serve as major antagonists throughout the Dark Seeker Saga, with their members appearing in every game except the original Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts coded, and are, unbeknownst to all but their highest ranks, the main agents of Xehanort's own plans to conquer Kingdom Hearts.

Members of Organization XIII first appeared in Another side, Another story..., and they debuted in canon through the Unknown, who serves as a boss battle in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. The group itself was introduced in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, and while the members usually serve as bosses, they were even made playable in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Because all of the members are Nobodies they lack their original hearts, and it is initially claimed in Kingdom Hearts II that this means they cannot have emotions, instead relying on acting to unnerve and toy with their opponents. The Organization yearns to discover the secrets of the heart and become full beings again by gathering hearts to form Kingdom Hearts. Despite this, most of the members begin demonstrating true emotions as time goes on, and it is eventually revealed that while they lacked their original hearts, Xemnas's plan revolved around filling the hole with pieces of his own heart, essentially turning each of them into copies of himself. Despite lacking normal emotions, or perhaps because of it, many members of the group are remarkably disloyal to its head, and much of their story revolves around key betrayals or attempted coups.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]

Ansem's Apprentices
The six founders of Organization XIII.

Ten years ago, the founding members of the Organization live in Radiant Garden as humans. Ventus encounters Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo, who work in Ansem the Wise's castle, as his guards and apprentices. He also meets Isa and Lea, two youths who have an interest in the castle.

Braig serves as a co-conspirator in Master Xehanort's ruthless ambitions, acquiring his signature scars and eyepatch following a battle against Terra. He appears at the Keyblade Graveyard to assist Xehanort, occupying Aqua and Ventus's attention. By this time, Braig houses a piece of Xehanort's heart inside himself.

After Terra-Xehanort is taken in by Ansem the Wise, Braig works together with him, laying the foundations for Organization XIII.

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Even and Ienzo moments before they turn into Vexen and Zexion.

Organization XIII was formed by a group of researchers working under Ansem the Wise, the ruler of Radiant Garden, within his castle of Hollow Bastion. The head of this group was Ansem's apprentice, Xehanort, with the others being Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo. Ansem the Wise began initiating tests about the human heart, focusing mainly on Xehanort, with the hopes of recovering his lost memories. At the urging of Ienzo, he constructed a massive laboratory under the castle. However, Ansem the Wise soon ceased his experiments, for he feared that going too deep would have grave repercussions, also noting Xehanort's apparently-superhuman abilities.

However, his six apprentices, still seduced by the desire for knowledge, conducted their own dangerous experiments on countless subjects. Eventually, they discovered the beings called Heartless, those that are born from the darkness in a heart and seek others as well. Xehanort, having taken on Ansem's name and writing his findings under it, opened a door he discovered, breaking down the barriers between worlds and allowing travel between them. Isa and Lea became apprentices in order to rescue Subject X a girl they befriended and was one of the test subjects. When a king named Mickey arrived, the six men's desire for knowledge eventually caused Xehanort to abandon his body, becoming a Heartless (though he was unusual in that he had a human form and retained his memories), with the other seven soon following. Thus, the first six members of Organization XIII were born, and they banished Ansem to a Realm of Darkness with the seventh and eighth members joined afterwards.

Over the next nine years, the Organization increased its numbers from eight to twelve, with Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia and Larxene joining their ranks.

At some point, the Organization discovered Castle Oblivion, and decided to convert into a second base for the purpose of researching memories. Xemnas secretly had certain members look through the castle to find the Chamber of Waking.

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

Xemnas appears at Hollow Bastion to battle Sora, testing his abilities after just recruiting his newly created Nobody, Roxas.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

Marluxia orders Vexen to eliminate Sora.

The neophytes, Marluxia and Larxene, try to take control of the Organization by using Sora as their puppet by manipulating his memories with Naminé's magic. The senior members assigned to Castle Oblivion, Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion, try to counter his plot by exploiting the powerful darkness that lays within Riku's heart. However, each group ends up being slain by heroes they sought to control, leaving Axel as the only survivor of the castle.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

Xemnas introduce Organization XIII to their new member, Xion.

Organization XIII slays many Heartless to finish their Kingdom Hearts, which consists of the hearts of people instead of worlds. Since Roxas and Xion are able to wield the Keyblade, they are used to achieve this goal. In the end, both leave the Organization, with Xion absorbed into Roxas, and Roxas captured by Riku.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Only seven members (Xemnas, Axel, Demyx, Xaldin, Xigbar, Luxord, and Saïx) of the Organization remained by the time Sora reawakens. Sora and his friends end up taking every single remaining member down, save Axel, who sacrificed himself so that Sora and his friends could save Kairi. In the end, Organization XIII is ultimately destroyed when Sora and Riku defeat Xemnas.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance[edit]

Following the Organization's defeat the recompleted members split in two camps; some electing to return to their Nobody state as members of Xehanort's Real Organization XIII, while others choose to assist Sora in his endeavors against the new Organization.

Inner workings[edit]

Xemnas administers Organization XIII's naming ceremony to its newest member, Roxas.
Roxas undergoes the naming ceremony.

Once discovered, a humanoid Nobody is inducted into the Organization when an existing member gives them their new name. These names are anagrams of the names of their original identities with the insertion of an "X" as both a symbol that they have rejected their old identities and as a callback to the χ-blade.[1][2] The only exception to this is the pseudo-member Xion, whose name is based on an anagram of "No.i", her ID as one of the Replicas.

In the naming ritual, the name of the Nobody's "other" appears before them in translucent, iridescent light, then an "X" drops down and the letters re-arrange themselves until they form a new name.

The black coats worn by Organization XIII.

After being renamed, each member is given a uniform and a rank from I to XIII. The rank is based on seniority, and although the leader of the Organization, Xemnas, is also the rank I member, the ranks are not true measures of authority within the Organization. For example, the rank IV Vexen, a founding member of the Organization, is subordinate to the rank XI Marluxia, while the rank VII Saïx acts as Xemnas's second-in-command, right before the rank II Xigbar. Their uniform, a Black Coat, was chosen because it was something once worn by Xehanort, Xemnas's primary original persona, to safeguard him from the darkness between worlds while not cutting him off from it.[3] It is plainly adorned with a silver zipper and seemingly decorative silver beaded pull strings for the hood that form a semi-circle in the middle. Each member wears their zippers at differing points. Underneath their coats, most of the members wear hakama-esque black pants and knee-high silver trimmed boots, with the exceptions of Roxas, who wears sneakers of the same color, and Larxene and Xion, who wear a more feminized version of the boots with heels. In addition to this, they all wear lengthy black gloves. The exact contours of the coats vary from person to person.

Once fully inducted, the new members are introduced to the other members at Where Nothing Gathers, the meeting chamber of the Organization deep within their home base of the Castle That Never Was. The room contains thirteen thrones, one for each member, whose height is adjustable, with Xemnas's throne being the highest.[4] To his left are the odd-number ranked members while to his right are the even-numbered. Starting from Xemnas, clockwise, the members are Xaldin, Lexaeus, Saïx, Demyx, Marluxia, and Roxas, then Larxene, Luxord, Axel, Zexion, Vexen and Xigbar.

The Organization is also represented within the Proof of Existence, a room within the castle's central tower that contains thirteen portals marked with images of each of the members' weapons. The portals lead to other rooms, presumably belonging to each member of the Organization, and the state of the portal is a mirror of its member's own state: when a member has been destroyed, their portal is rendered inactive or can even break.

Members of the Organization are assigned various missions in order to hasten the completion of Kingdom Hearts. As Xemnas's second-in-command, Saïx is tasked with giving assignments to the other members. As Roxas and Xion are the only two able to harvest hearts, the other members are given other duties, such as performing reconnaissance or trying to sow seeds of darkness in order to promote good conditions for harvesting hearts. At the end of each mission, Organization members will RTC (帰還 Kikan?, lit. "Return"), or "Return to Castle", regrouping at the Castle That Never Was to await their next orders.

Each member is aware of their lack of emotions, and many of them pretend to have emotions. For example, Saïx battles in a seeming rage, while Larxene taunts her opponents by giggling and winking. The idea that the Nobodies lack emotions is expanded upon in the manga and novel series, which depict the members with true emotions, but explain that they are plagued by a feeling of uncertainty and emptiness due to not having hearts. The manga further displays this "plagued" feeling by showing the members engaging in tasks like jigsaw puzzles, cooking, and reading to try to fill their emptiness.

Members[edit]

Aside from the rank and name given to them by the Organization, each member has a unique weapon, often with a Nobody-aesthetic, as well as a title and an elemental attribute. These titles specify the role of the member, and often reference their elemental attribute or weapons as well.

Most and possibly all members of the Organization also have control over a specific breed of high-ranking Nobody, although Xemnas has primary control over them should the member betray the Organization. The breeds are named after recurring Final Fantasy job classes, and mimic their Organization member's general role.

Xion, the nominal fourteenth member of the Organization, is the only one without a title. Her lack of full membership is due to her status as a Replica meant to absorb Sora's leaking memories through Roxas and eventually replace the both of them, becoming a puppet Keyblade wielder for the Organization.

Trivia[edit]

  • In Kingdom Hearts II, Sora obtains journal entries for the Castle Oblivion-based members of the Organization after obtaining the password for the DTD. In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, he instead receives them after defeating their respective Absent Silhouette.

Notes and references[edit]

  1. ^ Kingdom Hearts II Ultimania, Interviewer: "Previously you said 'The members of the XIII Organization have something hidden in their names', can you reveal the answer to us now?" / Tetsuya Nomura: "Before this, I've mentioned that when their names are spelt in Roman alphabets, there will surely be an "X", right? The truth is that when the "X" is taken away, the alphabets that are left behind is an anagram of the members' real names when they were humans." Translation via Maiki.
  2. ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania, Interviewer: "Where did the Organization's coat and mark come from?" / Tetsuya Nomura: "One year after Birth by Sleep, Xehanort, as well as five other apprentices toss aside their hearts. Then the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates takes a lot of things from his memories, as a human. But as Xemnas had two people who he was, Terra and Master Xehanort, he takes from both of their memories. [...] Xemnas gives Organization members names with an X in them. This has something to do with Master Xehanort's interest in the χ-blade." Translation via Lissar.
  3. ^ Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania "...the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories as a human... The coat used by the Organization was something that Master Xehanort originally wore."
  4. ^ The Scenario Mysteries in "Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+ Ultimania, page 502), Interviewer: "During the meetings, the members of Organization XIII are sitting in chairs. Is the height of these chairs determined by things like their skills and abilities?" / Nomura: "No, the height of the chairs is not fixated, they move. That is to say, the height is up to each person. The leader, Xemnas, is always the highest and to be at the same height as him would have a pretty bad feeling, so the other members wouldn't do that."
  5. ^ Lexaeus's title is "The Taciturn Stalwart" in Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX.
