Organization XIII

Line 7:

The Organization's remaining members appeared in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' as the main antagonists. In this second installment, the player meets [[Xigbar]], [[Xaldin]], [[Saïx]], [[Demyx]], [[Luxord]], [[Roxas]], the returning member, [[Axel]], and the leader [[Xemnas]]. Another member of Organization XIII was added in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', when [[Xion]] was added to the group.

Because (almost) all the members are Nobodies, they lack hearts, meaning they also have no emotions. The Organization yearns to discover the secrets of the heart and fill the empty void inside themselves by gathering hearts to form [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|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 - many of them pretend to have emotions (e.i. Saïx's enraged battle style and Larxene's giggling and winking). 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. 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.

This group's inclusion to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' storyline marks the more mature nature of the ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'' storylines, as they introduce the concepts of duplicity among the villains, minor physical abuse, manipulation of sentimental matters and, on some level, real death (the Heartless invasion of Hollow Bastion, which was Organization XIII's doing, inadvertently incapacitates [[Goofy]] for a short time, leading even the player to falsely believe that he is dead).
