'''Luxu''' is a [[Keyblade Master]] who was first introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ]]''. He is an apprentice of [[The Master of Masters]] and was tasked by his master to carry the [[No Name]] [[Keyblade]] and a mysterious [[Black Box]] through the generations. Luxu has lived countless lifetimes through the use of others' bodies as vessels. His known vessels include [[Brain]], [[Bragi]] and [[Braig]] – and, by extension, [[Xigbar]].

Luxu frequently meets with the Master in the Control Room, where the latter recounts an ongoing Keyblade War that began in his youth and is about to end, in which the world would be destroyed and then rebuilt. Luxu is shocked that the Master was leaving the fate of the world in the hands of others while he does nothing, and is worried about how the [[Dandelions]] would find their way home afterwards.{{storylink|Quest 910: Investigating the Glitches Pt. 5}}

As their conversation Luxu asks if his Master ever spoke with the Darkness and the Master replies yes and describes it like talking to someone with a very unconventional thought process hearing that how Luxu describes him. Then he was alerted that the Darkness was watching and could understand them but was informed that it wasn't with them and wouldn't touch them. However despite this Luxu still worried about the situation of the Dandelions and when being told of the Darkness' tricky nature he the Dandelions were in danger but was told of the entity's weakness those of pure hearts and can't comprehend those of reason. Baffled more than ever Luxu asks what Darkness' endgame is only to be answered that the Master's guess was as good as his is.{{storylink|Quest 970: Pest Control Pt. 8}}

<!--how do we know he had a keyblade before the No Name? Was the No Name forged from Luxu's heart?
Luxu is instructed to meet the Master of Masters in the Foretellers' Chamber, where he is bestowed with a Keyblade containing the Master's own "[[Gazing Eye]]". Luxu initially misunderstands that "Gazing Eye" is the name of the Keyblade, but the Master corrects him that it is unnamed, so Luxu names it "[[No Name]]" in jest. The Master explains that the Keyblade containing the Eye must be passed from master to apprentice so that the Eye can see events pass throughout the ages, prompting Luxu to realize that the Master's [[Book of Prophecies]] was written with the foresight from this process. In order to prevent temporal paradoxes, Luxu is not to receive a copy of the Book like the other apprentices, but is instead tasked with protecting the [[Black Box]]. The Master entreats Luxu to abstain from the conflict to come and instead simply observe events. As for the Box, the Master instructs Luxu to never open it or reveal its contents, but at Luxu's insistent questions, he whispers the box's contents to him, shocking and perplexing Luxu.

Even though, Luxu wasn't told anymore about the box he is informed when the lifeboats are gone; so is Data Daybreak Town and that he is suppose to record the events are cross over to a new world quickly. Soon Luxu finally believes that the world will be gone and was retold the plan again and once all is set and done they will finally success.{{storylink|Quest 977: Darkness Looms}}


Luxu then sets out to fulfill his role, disappearing as he travels through the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] with the Black Box and No Name in hand.

As Data Daybreak Town's imminent destruction drew near, Luxu knew that the Dandelions' time was almost up. Carrying a figure wrapped in a white cloak, he returned to the real world's lifeboat room. There, he found Darkness trying to access some data via a computer. Luxu questioned if it wasn't a part of the whole, asking if it was acting on its own instead. When the entity expressed surprise that a Master was still alive, Luxu explained that he had stayed because his master had told him to. As he approached the lifeboat pods, Darkness told him that using it would render his plan "as good as ruined", to which Luxu then responded by saying that it wasn't for himself. He proceeded to place the cloaked figure inside, calling it the "true Dandelion", and sent it into the future.{{storylink|Quest 977: Darkness Looms}}
Upon seeing Data Daybreak Town being destroyed Luxu sees that the Dandelions are almost out of time. While there he collects the data of one particular Dandelion wrapping them in a white cloak then returns to the real world lifeboat room and meets the Darkness strange that it isn't apart of the whole believing it's acting on it's own.{{storylink|Quest 977: Darkness Looms}}{{sec-stub}}
 
When the entity asked about the remaining pods, Luxu asked if it didn't read that part of the book. Upon hearing that it "wasn't of any interest" to it, he asked Darkness what it was interested in to the entity answered simply with "expansion". As Luxu expressed confusion towards Darkness, the entity responded in kind. It asked why they had trained these Keyblade wielders just to leave them trapped in a data world. Luxu retorted that even though he doesn't know what his master was thinking, he could guess. Darkness pointed out that he still wasn't certain. Admitting this, Luxu affirmed that he was sure that the Master of Masters "wasn't a fan" of the Darkness; Darkness, again, responded in kind regarding the Light. After hearing of the entity's plans to accompany the true Dandelion to the future and lay claim on worlds yet to be created, Luxu surmised that Darkness would follow him no matter where or when he went, and summoned his Keyblade.
 
[[File:A Seed of Light 01 KHUX.png|thumb|left|Luxu carries the "true Dandelion" to a lifeboat.]]
When Darkness reminded Luxu that he wasn't supposed to interfere, he responded by saying that only applied to helping the Dandelions, and that he was doing this for himself. While Luxu knew that Darkness lacking a physical form meant it couldn't be destroyed, having heard his master's story about its origin, he knew the entity needed a vessel. He explained it that the longer it stayed without a tangible form, the more its will would fade, calling Darkness's plan of expansion to retain a will sad and pathetic, and mocked it for not having figured out his master's real plan. Aware that there were five other willful Darknesses left - one of which being with the Union leaders - he queried the entity on the whereabouts of the other four. Darkness commended Luxu for being informed, revealing the others to be in the Data World as well. Deducing the Darkness he was talking to at the time to be the only one in his way, he fought the entity.{{storylink|Quest 978: What Comes After}}
 
After Elrena, Ventus and Lauriam were sent into the future, Luxu met Brain in the lifeboat room. When asked, Brain confirmed himself to be a Union leader and explained where the others were. He then explained that instead of using a pod to escape, he intended to use the remaining two pods to save his friends still stuck in the Data World; after that, he would go on for as long as possible to wake as many Dandelions as he could within the Data World, believing the world would fall to slumber as Darkness enveloped it. Luxu corrected him, telling him that even though what Master Ava had said was true, the Data World was different; that it was built to cage the Darkness, and if it were to fall, there'd be no way to bring it back. He also verified Brain's knowledge of the lifeboat - that any person using it would need to have two things at their destination: someone with memories of the user, and a vessel to occupy. He asked Brain if he had a plan, who said he'd figure something out. Luxu commended him for his smarts, but said it was a shame that he only had one lifetime to live.
 
[[File:Destinations 04 KHUX.png|thumb|right|Luxu bears an appearance identical to Brain's.]]
An unknown amount of time later, Luxu could be seen traveling through the Keyblade Graveyard with the Black Box and the No Name Keyblade. Stopping in the badlands, he looked up and said to himself, "May your heart be your guiding key". After this, he removed the hood of his black coat, revealing an appearance identical to Brain's.{{storylink|Quest 979: The Final Battle}}


Having been instructed by his master to transfer his heart from one vessel to the next until the fated "Dark Master" appeared to reenact the Keyblade War, Luxu's final role is to become an ally of this individual, [[Xehanort]], and aid in his plans in order to continue to observe the future. Luxu’s entire existence within the timeline also provides the new Union leaders a waypoint into the future, using his memories and his [[No Name]] Keyblade as a medium.

===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''===
Braig's infatuation with the Keyblade is simply a cover used to join Master Xehanort and serve as his right-hand. With no knowledge of the future or the true extent of Xehanort's plans, Braig follows his master's orders loyally by assisting Xehanort when both serve as [[Ansem the Wise]]'s apprentices, becoming a Nobody in the process, and aids the villain in recreating the Keyblade War and completing Kingdom Hearts.-->

Perhaps with this greater goal in mind, it further motivated Luxu to do whatever it took to achieve it, including standing by and observing as his comrades commenced the final battle of the original Keyblade War and transferring his heart from vessel to vessel over the course of many years. The secret reports penned by him also show his desire to be reunited with his comrades once more, showing that he still cares for them despite having to play a part in ensuring the original Keyblade War occurred.

However, Luxu's personality seems to have undergone a shift through the ages. During his time as Bragi, Luxu is shown to be aloof and cocky, even when not trying to act the part of a novice Keyblade wielder. This new persona carries on to his final vessel, Braig/Xigbar, a laid-back and outspoken seeker of darkness who aided Master Xehanort in causing tragedy to many.
All of these characteristics are a stark contrast to the personality of his final vessel, Braig/Xigbar, a laid-back and outspoken seeker of darkness who aided Master Xehanort in causing tragedy to many, indicating that Braig and Xigbar's entire personality was simply a fabrication by Luxu to become a convincing ally for Xehanort and see his role through to the end.
