In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Xigbar is featured as a playable character in [[Mission Mode]]. In an interview, Tetsuya Nomura said that "Xigbar's attacks have a high range, but he has slow reloading time." He also said Xigbar is his favorite character to play as in Mission Mode.

===Before ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
Xigbar was formed when his original persona, Braig, and the other five apprentices dabbled too deep into darkness through their continued experiments. Braig found Even and Ienzo lying lifelessly on the ground inside Ansem's computer room, and he was surprised by [[Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort]], who summoned [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade]] and proceeded to stab him in the chest, extracting his heart. In his last moments, Braig asked if the man before him truly was the Master Xehanort he knew, only to be scoffed at, as his attacker preferred to be called "Ansem."{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance}} Although his heart would go on to become a Heartless, Braig's strong will enabled his body to continue existing as the [[Nobody]] Xigbar. The Nobodies of the six apprentices formed [[Organization XIII]], and they banished Ansem the Wise to the [[Realm of Darkness]]. Because of his original self's strong ties to [[Master Xehanort]], Xigbar was aware of the true purpose of Organization XIII.

Xigbar, along with [[Xaldin]], was the member who found and brought [[Marluxia]] into the Organization. After his return to the Castle That Never Was, he comes across Zexion and expresses his knowledge of the events of [[Keyblade]] warriors that appeared before they found Xehanort. He also talks about his eavesdropping on Xemnas during his visits to the Chamber of Repose, and how he seems to be conversing with [[Aqua|someone]] that isn't really there.

After Riku and [[Naminé]] help [[Kairi]] to escape from the Organization, Riku and Kairi head for the Hall of Empty Melodies, a large, open-air room leading further up into the Castle That Never Was. Sora and his party arrive there, but they are stopped by Saïx, who spawns swarms of [[Shadow]] Heartless, as well as a few [[Armored Knight]]s, to attack the intruders. [[Maleficent]] and [[Pete]] also arrive, expressing interest in taking the Organization's castle for themselves. Saïx departs, and, while hidden, Xigbar unleashes a rain of bullets to destroy the Heartless surrounding Sora. He asks if Sora has "been a good boy," and the Keyblade wielder demands that Xigbar show himself. He does so, stating with false disappointment that it sounds like he hasn't. Xigbar explains that Sora has put Organization XIII in a "pickle," and he supposes that this must be the reason why the Keyblade chose him. He then cryptically states the Keyblade picked a "dud this time," and that Sora doesn't look like he's "half the hero the others were." Sora simply takes this as an attempt to throw him off-guard, and Xigbar engages him in battle, referring to him as "Roxas" and expressing anger over Roxas's betrayal. Ultimately, Xigbar is defeated, and he begins to fade into the darkness. Sora asks him why he called him "Roxas," to which Xigbar merely chuckles and responds, "Wouldn't you like to know..." before vanishing.

Despite his destruction, Xigbar is revived along with Ansem and Xemnas. He is the first person to meet Sora in The World That Never Was, where he explains that he, [[Young Xehanort]], and the others secretly arranged for Sora to arrive in the dream world. Later, as Sora makes his way to the Castle That Never Was, Xigbar confronts him again, and he and Xemnas reveal that the true purpose of Organization XIII was to gather thirteen empty vessels to hold the essence of Xehanort and become other incarnations of him. When Sora demands to know how Xigbar could live with having his personality replaced with another's, Xigbar merely quips that he is already "half-Xehanort." Later, in Where Nothing Gathers, Xigbar sits in Vexen's former throne. He initially mistakes Lea for Axel after Lea unexpectedly arrives to defend Sora from Master Xehanort. Xigbar then orders one of the hooded members of the [[true Organization XIII]] sitting beside him, Saïx, to attack. Reinforcements arrive, however, and Xigbar is forced to retreat with his accomplices.

Xigbar is also shown to be very uncaring about the other members of the Organization, save for Xion. For example, he tells Roxas that what had happened to the members stationed at Castle Oblivion did not bother him, and he even stated that he is glad the castle is quieter. In the Organization's final meeting, Xigbar somewhat jokingly remarks, "Seems like we're getting a lot more free seats."

In the Organization's final meeting, Xigbar somewhat jokingly remarks, "Seems like we're getting a lot more free seats."


Despite his high rank, Xigbar is not given high authority like Saïx or Marluxia, but he instead is sent on missions and confrontations with Sora. Considering his personality, it could possibly be that Xigbar simply prefers field work over a more administrative position. However, ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' seems to contradict this, as Xigbar attends a meeting at which the only other members attending are Xemnas and Saïx (the Organization's leader and second-in-command). Xigbar also has a tendency to spy on other members of the Organization—he spies on Xemnas going to the Chamber of Repose in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', and he spies on Axel and Xion discussing Roxas in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. Due to his high rank and spying, Xigbar knows a great deal of the Organization's secrets. If one listens carefully, he has a habit of hinting at some of the Organization's secrets, but most are too vague to understand at first. Xigbar is noted by Roxas as being difficult to trick. He seems to be the type of guy who will find out about a secret that interests him, one way or another.

Along with the rest of the Organization, Xigbar considers Roxas to be a traitor. He seems to support this view more than any other Organization member, as he's the only one who states it in his battle quotes. In fact, when the battle begins, he remarks, "You really shouldn't have betrayed us!" However, this could simply be in keeping with his mocking personality, as he seemed to be taunting Sora for his ignorance of Roxas.
