DiZ, hoping to gain revenge on the Organization, infiltrates Organization XIII's second base, [[Castle Oblivion]]. There, he monitors Sora and encounters [[Naminé]]. DiZ magically speaks to [[Riku]], waking him from his rest between realms, and leading him through the castle to assist Riku in his quest to defeat his darkness. All the while, he disguises himself as Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. | DiZ, hoping to gain revenge on the Organization, infiltrates Organization XIII's second base, [[Castle Oblivion]].

Once Riku is reunited with King Mickey, DiZ uses the memory-version of [[Twilight Town]] to briefly separate them. Riku then reveals that he's learned to tell the odor of darkness emanating from its users apart; DiZ does not smell like the real Heartless, which has a foul odor of darkness.

DiZ soon returns to Naminé to aid her in the task to restore Sora's memories, after they were broken apart in Castle Oblivion. Since the castle is still under control of Organization XIII, DiZ convinces Naminé to move Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] to his lab in Twilight Town, in order to keep them safe. Thankfully, the task is easy to do; [[Axel]] having been busy looking for the hidden [[Chamber of Repose|Chamber]] under orders from [[Saix]]. | DiZ soon returns to Naminé to aid her in the task to restore Sora's memories, after they were broken apart in Castle Oblivion.

Several months pass, with DiZ noting Naminé is having trouble piecing together Sora's memory; due to the memories passing through [[Roxas]], the Nobody of Sora, into an imperfect [[Replica]] named [[Xion]]. 357 days since the Castle Oblivion incident, Sora's memory stops; due to his most precious memories of [[Kairi]] being missing. | Several months pass, with DiZ noting Naminé is having trouble piecing together Sora's memory; due to the memories passing through [[Roxas]], the Nobody of Sora, into an imperfect [[Replica]] named [[Xion]]. 357 days since the Castle Oblivion incident, Sora's memory stops; due to his most precious memories of [[Kairi]] being missing. | ||
DiZ convinces Riku to retrieve [[Roxas]]; fusing Roxas back into Sora will fully restore his memory. Riku has no choice but to take on the form of [[Riku-Ansem|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] in order to defeat Roxas.

Ansem the Wise originally wore a periwinkle labcoat, identical to those worn by some of his apprentices (Even, Ienzo, and Xehanort), save for the color. Underneath this, he wore a dark grey vest, white collared shirt, and a violet ascot, as well as black pants and shoes. He also draped a red sweater or coat of some sort over his shoulders. Ansem's hair was blond and worn long and slicked back. He also sported a short mustache and goatee. His eyes are bright orange. | Ansem the Wise originally wore a periwinkle labcoat, identical to those worn by some of his apprentices (Even, Ienzo, and Xehanort), save for the color.

His face is covered in red bandages, save for his right eye and mouth, and he tied two intersecting belts around his head, one passing over where his left eye should be. He wears a long, red cape with a quadrate cross cut taken out at the chest, the edges of which are yellow. This cut exposes a similarly oblong white symbol on a pitch-black shirt. Over-top this shirt, DiZ wears what seems to be grey, segmented armor over his sides and abdomen. His legs are covered by a long, black cloth lined with yellow, which itself has several brown straps pinned onto the front, seemingly for no purpose other than to create yet another angular pattern. On a yellow sash that hangs around DiZ's waist are three brown pouches, descending downward diagonally on his left hip. These pouches are all identical, all sporting the same design on the top flap, and all closed by a darker brown strap that attaches to a silver button on the right ride, a grey tassel hanging from each button. Like Ansem and his coat, DiZ wears a dark colored scarf around his neck. He also has light colored sleeves. | ||
Notably, Ansem's skin is darker when in his "DiZ" disguise, and his beard is not present, despite his chin being mostly visible. When he removes the bandages, however, these changes disappear in a dark vapor, suggesting that Ansem used his dark magic to artificially change his appearance. His eyes appear to be a much darker shade of amber orange before the DiZ persona, but this is likely an {{w|Checker shadow illusion|optical illusion}} caused by the difference in skin color of Ansem and DiZ. In fact, his skin and eye color while disguised as DiZ are very similar to those of "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness". Interestingly, Ansem retained the amber eyes after discarding his DiZ disguise, and his ears were shown to have developed slight pointy, similar to Master Xehanort. | Notably, Ansem's skin is darker when in his "DiZ" disguise, and his beard is not present, despite his chin being mostly visible.
