== | ==Appearance== | ||
Lexaeus is easily the largest member of Organization XIII, and his [[black coat]] is similar in design to Vexen's, with sleeves that are slightly longer than average. Lexaeus also wears the standard black boots and gloves. He has very angular and strong features, with a square chin, straight nose, and sharp cheekbones. Lexaeus has blue eyes and small eyebrows. His hair is auburn and slicked back into rather odd, messy spikes. | Lexaeus is easily the largest member of Organization XIII, and his [[Black coat|black coat]] is similar in design to Vexen's, with sleeves that are slightly longer than average.

Lexaeus is intelligent and laconic, only speaking when he finds it necessary. Though a warrior by nature, he has no qualms with biding his time and planning things accordingly. He does, however, prefer a more practical approach to things, as especially seen when teaching Roxas about Limit Breaks, hitting him hard enough to put him on his "last legs" rather than just explaining how it works.

This act illustrates Lexaeus' lack of empathy as befitting a Nobody, along with his matter-of-fact statement when Vexen is eliminated. | ||

He acknowledges the power of darkness, considering it as at least equal in power to light. This frame of mind is seen in his suggestion that Riku could provide an good counterbalance to Sora, should Marluxia control him successfully. Lexaeus also demonstrates a certain degree of scorn for cowardice, branding Riku "an infantile coward" regarding his refusal to accept his darkness. Despite this dismissal, he does admit Riku's reputation is "well-deserved" and honorably compliments him for getting so far in Castle Oblivion. Even after the battle, an exhausted Lexaeus comments that the defeated Riku was "too much trouble", commending the boy's prowess in his own way. | ||
Lexaeus is incredibly loyal to Zexion, and he finds him to be the only member of Organization XIII that he can trust. | Lexaeus is incredibly loyal to Zexion, and he finds him to be the only member of Organization XIII that he can trust, as stated in the [[Secret Reports]]. His last words are, in fact, directed at Zexion, lamenting his failure has left him without an ally. Conversely, he is shown to be very mistrustful of other members, claiming they all hide secrets from each other. He is especially suspicious of Axel, remarking no one knows what he's thinking. | ||

Lexaeus possesses great physical strength, and he uses Earth to reinforce his attacks. He devastates opponents with powerful blows from his Axe Sword, and when he throws it, it flies back to him like a boomerang. Lexaeus can summon rock formations from under the ground before shattering them, leaving the pieces to fly around the battlefield and damage the enemy. Like several other members of the Organization, he has the ability to levitate, and he can also strike the ground with such force that he causes it to tilt as rock formations sprout from underground. Lexaeus can create powerful shockwaves that spread across the entire battlefield, and his defense increases to the point of temporary invincibility as he powers up. | Lexaeus possesses great physical strength, and he uses Earth to reinforce his attacks.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Lexaeus returns as a secret boss along with the other slain Organization members from ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. In this battle, Lexaeus and Sora each have a power meter. While Sora's is permanently set at 100, Lexaeus can increase his freely. When the Nobody increases his own power meter, he begins to emanate an intense black, red, yellow, and purple aura that protects him from flinching, minimizes damage, and pushes enemies away. Lexaeus is able to throw Sora up into the air and then knock him back down, and he is even able to knock Sora into one of the pillars surrounding the battlefield and then strike him with his Axe Sword. Furthermore, Lexaeus causes rock formations to rise up from under the ground with almost every attack, unlike in his battle with Riku in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Lexaeus's Limit Break is called Ayers Rock and is named after a giant rock formation in Central Australia that is also known as "Uluru". When executing his Limit Break, Lexaeus performs charged Axe Sword strikes that increase in power the longer the player holds down {{button|dsa}} before attacking. If the player chooses not to charge Lexaeus's attacks, they will be significantly less powerful. If the player fully-charges Lexaeus's attacks during his Final Limit, his Axe Sword transforms into a massive column of rock that increases the range of his attacks and deals devastating amounts of damage to the opponent when he slams it into the ground. | |||

Lexaeus uses a massive, heavy '''Axe Sword''' (referred to as a '''tomahawk''' in [[Jiminy's Journal]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'') called '''[[Skysplitter]]''' in battle. The Skysplitter is about a meter long, has a blue handle roughly as long as the blade, which is made of black, red, and yellow metal, and appears to be laborious to wield for anyone who does not possess Lexaeus's great strength. Lexaeus uses his Axe Sword to perform devastating physical combos that cause rock formations to rise from underground in their wake, and he can even throw it at opponents only for it to fly back to him like a boomerang. The Skysplitter has a small Nobody insignia above the handle, although it only has a single spike. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', Donald can obtain a similar [[Centurion|weapon]]. | Lexaeus uses a massive, heavy '''Axe Sword''' (referred to as a '''tomahawk''' in [[Jiminy's Journal]] in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'') called '''[[Skysplitter]]''' in battle.
