'''Braig''' | '''Braig''', misspelled as "Bleig" in the North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', is one of the six apprentices of [[Ansem the Wise]], and the original persona of [[Xigbar]]. He serves as a supporting antagonist in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. | ||

{{Q|Oh, so this kiddo thinks he's a full-fledged Keyblade wielder? He's got the angry look down.|Braig to Ventus}} | |||
Braig confronts [[Terra]] when he comes to [[Radiant Garden]], claiming to have captured [[Master Xehanort]]. Braig leads the skeptical Terra underneath Radiant Garden, where he shows Master Xehanort chained to a large pole, to Terra's horror. Braig then engages Terra in a duel, intent on eliminating him and taking his Keyblade. Terra is reluctant to fight back out of fear of succumbing to the darkness and endangering Master Xehanort, until the latter screams for him to use the Keyblade and avoid shaming [[Master Eraqus]]. Terra fights back and eventually defeats Braig by using the power of darkness, in the process scarring Braig's face and permanently damaging his eye. | |||
However, it is soon revealed that Braig was working with Master Xehanort. Angered greatly at the loss of his right eye and scarring on his face, Braig attempts to shoot Master Xehanort from behind, claiming that he didn't sign up to be "collateral damage", but Master Xehanort threatens him into backing down and continuing with their plan to make Terra succumb to the darkness. | |||

He later appears in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], having succumbed to the darkness himself, indicated by his remaining eye becoming yellow and his ears becoming pointed. He appears in front of [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]], attempting to turn them against Terra, but they refuse to forsake their friend. After mocking the angry glare Ventus gives him, Braig is challenged by Aqua and defeated. Since he had only needed to stall for time, he turns and runs. Aqua gives chase, but she turns back, not wanting to leave Ventus alone in his fragile state, and Braig returns to Radiant Garden. | |||
Later, back in Radiant Garden, Braig leads [[Dilan]] and Ansem to an amnesiac [[Terra-Xehanort]], the result of Master Xehanort possessing Terra's body. Braig smiles triumphantly to himself, satisfied that his partner's plan worked. | |||

Braig, at one point, questions if this new Xehanort is actually Terra, but Xehanort still does not respond, much to Braig's relief. Braig nevertheless promises to look out for Xehanort. | ||

Braig became one of six apprentices to Ansem the Wise, the ruler and scientist of Radiant Garden, alongside Dilan, [[Even]], [[Aeleus]], [[Ienzo]], and Xehanort. After Ansem began performing tests on Xehanort's heart, Braig convinces the other apprentices to aid him and Xehanort in conducting inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it. Such experimentation led to the mass creation of [[Heartless]]. Ansem quickly discovered their secret experiments, and immediately ordered them to stop. One day, after being advised to review their research data by [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]], Ansem found that the effects of their experiments had become irreversible. | |||
[[ | |||
Eventually, Braig and the other five apprentices dabbled too deep into darkness through their continued experiments. Braig found Even and Ienzo passed out inside Ansem's computer room, and was surprised by [[Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort]], who stabbed through the chest with his Keyblade. In his last moments, Braig asks if he really is the Master Xehanort he knows, only to be scoffed at as his attacker prefers to be called "Ansem".{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance}} Although his heart was removed and became 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 banished Ansem the Wise to the [[Realm of Darkness]]. | |||

Despite the destruction of his Heartless and Xigbar, Braig does not reappear in Hollow Bastion with Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo and Lea, which prompts Lea to venture out to search for him. | |||
== | ==Appearance== | ||
Braig wears a guard's uniform with a dark slate grey jacket, silver highlights, and two rows of gold buttons on the front. He wears a black belt and white gloves adorned with a silver, curled heart symbol. His jacket bears some resemblance to Xigbar's [[black coat]], sporting the same pointed shoulders. He also wears black, knee-high boots and a tattered, red scarf.

He wears a black belt and white gloves adorned with a silver, curled heart symbol. His jacket bears some resemblance to Xigbar's [[Black Coat|black coat]], sporting the same pointed shoulders. He also wears black, knee-high boots and a tattered, red scarf. In terms of facial features, Braig sports brown eyes, though they turn gold upon his acceptance of the darkness, upturned eyebrows, and dark, shoulder-length hair that he wears slicked back. After his fight against Terra, he loses his right eye and receives a jagged scar over his left cheek, making him and Master Eraqus the only two characters that are seen receiving scars during the story. Once he is able to take the bandages off, Braig wears an eyepatch to cover his lost eye. | ||

He is shown to have a laid-back, cocky attitude, and doesn't often take things seriously. Braig can also be cold and merciless at times, seen once when he kidnaps Master Xehanort and tries to eliminate Terra for his Keyblade (although this was later revealed to be staged by Master Xehanort), and again when he tries to destroy Aqua and Ventus to get Terra to fall to darkness and cruelly asking who wants to go first. He often refers to Master Xehanort as an "old coot", and like Xigbar, very frequently says "''As if.''". | ||

Braig, like his Nobody Xigbar, wields twin Arrowguns in battle, using them to fire a variety of quick shots. He uses a telescopic view in battle and is able to teleport, warp his bullets, and levitate upside-down via space distortion. Like his Nobody's, Braig's HUD display has a silhouette of his Arrowguns in each of the four cardinal directions. The shots Braig fires when he is sniping are violet like Xigbar's, but they seem to have explosive properties to them. He can also combine his two weapons into one in order to fire powerful shots in rapid succession. Braig is also very agile, able to make high leaps into the air, and quickly run around opponents while leaving after-images of himself. | |||
In the Western and ''Final Mix'' releases of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', his targeting reticule was changed drastically, much like it was for his [[Nobody]], Xigbar. Instead of the crosshair-shaped reticule used when fighting Terra, the American, European, and ''Final Mix'' versions simply showed three violet dots, vaguely showing Braig's aim. | |||
