'''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.

Despite partially reconstructing Roxas's heart from the data, Ienzo is stumped on how to progress; without a vessel to place the data in, they are at a standstill. Ienzo is surprised by [[Demyx]], who arrives with something wrapped in a sheet; Demyx also reveals he was entrusted to secretly ferry Ansem the Wise back home. Ienzo tells Ansem that the other apprentices withheld the truth about his banishment from him. Ansem commends his young apprentice for recognizing his mistake and apologizes for failing him as a mentor after being consumed by his lust for vengeance against Xehanort. Demyx interrupts them to reveal that Vexen had given him a blank replica.

Ienzo places Roxas's data inside the replica, waiting for his heart to inhabit it. Needing another vessel for Namine's heart, Ienzo sends Demyx to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] to collect any replicas that are left behind by defeated members of the new Organization. To ensure cooperation with the Seven Guardians of Light, Ienzo lends Demyx his [[Gummiphone]] as proof that he is not on the Organization's side.

 

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.

 

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, 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.
