speculation. This has some good material, but it needs to only state what was stated in-canon, and cite anything based on quotes

 At the same time, Heartless seek out the users of the Keyblade, since the Keyblade holds the power to lock and unlock hearts. If a Heartless is slain by a Keyblade, it will reunite with the body and soul it left behind, if it isn't currently a Nobody. In order to stop the users of the Keyblades, the Heartless use the Keyblade itself as a homing beacon, but ultimately desire to take the heart that commands it. Because of this, Keyblade wielders are under constant attack.
-The strength of a Heartless is proportional to the depth of the darkness from which it was born. The darker the heart forming a Heartless, Emblem or Pureblood, the more powerful and more monstrous the resulting being will be. An exception to this is Xehanort's Heartless, who retained his human appearance likely due to becoming a Heartless by choice rather than being a victim. This is a contrast to Nobodies, which determine rank according to the strength of the heart, and whose appearances become more human as they increase in power. Furthermore, as beings of elemental darkness, some Heartless are able to take possession of other beings or even inanimate objects, granting them immense dark power and often reshaping their very forms to suit their purpose.

-The Heartless, being mindless, usually have no master to direct their actions and instead act on the instinct to consume more hearts. There are exceptions for those who become Heartless by choice, such as [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] and [[Sora]]; though the exceptions seem to be based on the strength of their hearts. Ansem retained his full intelligence, and had a more humanoid form; Sora was able to briefly hold onto his memories and feelings, but was close to being completely consumed by the darkness. If such a Heartless had a strong bond with someone else's heart, they would be able to return to human form (being a pseudo-Heartless) without the need to destroy their [[Nobody]].
+The Heartless, being mindless, usually have no master to direct their actions and instead act on the instinct to consume more hearts. However, there are some higher beings who can command them. Heartless will obey those with an affinity for darkness and a strong will. If many people attempt to control them, the Heartless will side with whomever is most powerful. However, those with hearts, such as Maleficent, endanger themselves, as the Heartless are attracted to their hearts and if they show weakness, the Heartless will not hesitate to consume their hearts.

On the other hand, higher ranking Heartless, like Xehanort's Heartless, can fully command other Heartless without endangering themselves. Also, Organization XIII is able to command them as well with their strong wills, but are not endangered of being consumed by them for their lack of a heart.

 Heartless make use of the "[[Corridors of Darkness]]", inter-dimensional pathways that connect the many worlds. These pathways are located in the Realm of Darkness, and thus are very dangerous to use if one is not accustomed to the darkness.
