'''Ienzo''' is one of [[Ansem the Wise]]'s six apprentices, as well as the human form of [[Zexion]]. He heads scientific research at [[Radiant Garden]] alongside [[Dilan]] and [[Aeleus]], and, following their return after the events of ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', Ansem the Wise and Even.

Ienzo was still one of six apprentices of Ansem the Wise, the ruler and scientist of Radiant Garden, alongside Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Xehanort. Worried the [[darkness]] in people's hearts would eventually consume his world, Ansem began performing tests on Xehanort's heart. Eventually, at Ienzo's persuasive influence, he created a laboratory in his castle's basement for such experimentation. However, Ienzo and the other apprentices had their own intentions for the laboratory, and began conducting inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it. Such experimentation led to the creation of the [[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.

[[King Mickey]] and [[Riku]] later visit him to ask about the possibility of using [[replica]]s as vessels for the hearts of Roxas and [[Naminé]]. Ienzo explains that Even is the only one who would have in-depth knowledge of how to create replicas from his time as [[Vexen]]; however, he's vanished, with Aeleus and Dilan having no luck finding him. Any documents they have are from well before he made significant progress. Riku immediately guesses that the [[Real Organization XIII|new Organization]] may have taken him to use the replicas to fill out their ranks.

 

 

 

 

Some time after the defeat of Xehanort, Ienzo along with Ansem the Wise and Even use the replica left behind by [[Dark Riku]] to help bring Naminé back into existence.

Ienzo assists Even and Ansem the Wise in studying the memories in Kairi's heart, with the aim of finding clues to Sora's whereabouts. Eventually, Kairi awakens with a clue from her memories of Terra-Xehanort. Ienzo and Even are puzzled, but Ansem the Wise surmises that the clue points to Sora being in a world of "unreality, or fiction".

As a child, Ienzo wore the same uniform as Xehanort and Even, the other researchers apprenticed to Ansem. He wears a white lab coat over a black, V-neck top with a pale collar. Due to his size, the seams connecting his coat's sleeves are visibly lower than that of Xehanort and Even's and another horizontal seam connects the sleeves at the back. Ienzo rolls the sleeves of his lab coat back, partially covering his hands. He wears blue pants and navy-blue shoes. His steel-blue hair is neatly parted into long bangs that obscure the right side of his face and leave only one of his bright blue eyes visible.

 

As an adult, he dons a purple ascot similar to Even's, as well as the knee-high silver-trimmed boots worn by the other apprentices. His hair has grown much longer and is parted in a messier style. Instead of his V-neck top, now he wears a white dress shirt and a grey sweater-vest under his coat.

As an adult, Ienzo became immersed in his scholarly pursuits. His personality had become bright, cheerful, and pleasant. These qualities were first apparent in his animated explanation regarding a Nobody's rebirth. He is similarly patient and kind with Sora and the others he interacts with, such as guiding [[Pence]] through establishing a server link to the laboratory computer. Where necessary, Ienzo rewords or rephrases concepts others have difficulty following on to lay terms, as demonstrated with his conversation with Sora on the Gummiphone.

 

Ienzo has shown great regret in his misdeeds as Zexion and that of his and his fellow apprentices's betrayal towards his teacher and father-figure, Ansem, the Wise. Thus, Ienzo strives to be of help to make amends and was able to make peace with Ansem upon reuniting with him, rekindling their friendship.
