===Origin===
<!--THIS NEEDS TO BE IN-UNIVERSE!!-->
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 [[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.

While Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, [[Isa]], and [[Lea]] appear in the game in minor roles, Braig serves as a major player in [[Master Xehanort]]'s ruthless ambitions, acquiring his signature scars and eyepatch following a battle against Terra. Of Ansem's apprentices, Braig plays the largest role overall in the story until the appearance of Xehanort. Axel, Roxas and Xion also appear in the game's secret ending, and Xemnas appears briefly in the ''Final Mix'' version of the game.

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. 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 five soon following. Thus, the first six members of Organization XIII were born, and they banished Ansem to a [[Realm of Darkness]].

The neophytes, [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]], try to take control of the Organization by using [[Sora]] as their puppet, while the senior members, [[Zexion]], [[Lexaeus]], and [[Vexen]], attempt to oppose them by exploiting the darkness in [[Riku]]. However, all of them save [[Axel]] are eliminated.

The story largely focuses on [[Roxas]]'s time as a member of the Organization XIII, and thus, all the members are present here. This and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' are the only installments to date where the fourteenth member, [[Xion]], is ever mentioned.

Only eight members ([[Xemnas]], [[Axel]], [[Demyx]], [[Xaldin]], [[Xigbar]], [[Luxord]], [[Saïx]], and [[Roxas]]) of the Organization remained at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Sora and his friends took every single remaining member down, save Roxas, who became one with Sora, and 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.
