Four years prior, Ventus served as Master Xehanort's original apprentice. The Keyblade wielder was sent to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], where he was forced by his master to face several [[Neoshadow]] [[Heartless]] in an attempt to forge the [[χ-blade]]. Ventus was unable to use his darkness, and was knocked unconscious by the Heartless. Master Xehanort then proceeded to use [[No Name|his Keyblade]] to unlock Ventus's heart, extracting the darkness within and resulting in an orb of dark energy forming into a young boy in a mask who is then given the name "Vanitas" by Master Xehanort.

When [[Sora]]'s newborn heart comes in contact with Ventus's fractured heart, he also directly contacts Vanitas's heart. After feeling a sharp pain in his chest, Vanitas falls to the ground of the wasteland near the Keyblade Graveyard and almost loses consciousness, feeling as if he were being engulfed in absolute Darkness. But then, Ventus's heart sees the [[light]]. The light eventually surrounds Vanitas, and he hears a voice say, "Let's open the door". Vanitas opens his eyes and sees that he now has a normal boy's face, also realizing that someone has saved Ventus's heart from completely fading away.

Vanitas tells Master Xehanort that if he keeps both him and Ventus, he will find it hard to suppress his natural impulse to hurt or maybe even destroy Ventus, so Xehanort takes Ventus to the [[Land of Departure]], asking [[Eraqus]] to take care of the boy. After Ventus leaves, however, Vanitas starts to miss him greatly, and he wonders why they were separated from each other. This causes him to feel miserable and immense pain. At the same time, he also begins to feel very lost and anxious about his future without Ventus, and the more he thinks about these questions, the more anxious, irritated, and lonely he feels, and the more Unversed form. In a rage, Vanitas begins to destroy the Unversed in a cycle of pain and suffering. Master Xehanort only watches this coldly. Finally, Vanitas destroys one Unversed too many and the pain becomes unbearable, and he collapses in tears in the Keyblade Graveyard. Master Xehanort comes to him, telling him the only way for him to achieve salvation is to become the χ-blade.

After Master Xehanort leaves Ventus under Master Eraqus’s care in the Land of Departure, he finds Vanitas waiting outside of the room. Master Xehanort tells Vanitas that he should have stayed behind in the [[Keyblade Graveyard#Badlands|Badlands]], and Vanitas instead answers with an inquiry into Ventus’s wellbeing. Upon the lack of response, he dismisses any concern.
 
Xehanort informs Vanitas of the existence of thirteen ancient darknesses and their fates. Vanitas dodges all of Xehanort’s questions about the subject, either answering them with questions of his own or dismissing them entirely. Xehanort suggestd it was destiny that brought him, Vanitas, and Ventus together, which causes Vanitas to become lost in thought. After noticing that his master is leaving, Vanitas begins to trail behind him with a large distance kept between them.

Determined to unite with Ventus, and put an end to his own suffering, Vanitas agrees to the plan and becomes Master Xehanort's apprentice.

Vanitas' fractured heart was collected by [[Young Xehanort]] so he could be made a member of the [[real Organization XIII]]. When Young Xehanort appears before Sora within the cathedral at [[La Cité des Cloches]], Ventus's heart reacts within Sora and allows him to see an image of Vanitas. In unison, the youth and Vanitas claim that Sora has made his heart into a prison, then vanish.

Later, Vanitas, now in a [[replica]] body and wearing a [[black coat]], appeared alongside his fellow members of the real Organization XIII at [[Where Nothing Gathers]]. As the heroes advance, the Organization's allotted time expires and its members, including Vanitas, retreat to their rightful points in time.
