In the [[Castle That Never Was]], Saïx watches over Kairi in her cell, telling her that she is "the fire that feeds Sora's anger". When [[Naminé]] rescues Kairi through a corridor of darkness, Saïx appears to prevent their escape. Riku, still cloaked and in the form of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], comes to Kairi's aid and attacks Saïx, who retreats through a corridor of darkness.

Saïx appears to Sora in the Hall of Empty Melodies. He tells Sora that Kairi no longer needs him as a "friend from the darkness" is with her. Saïx summons more Heartless for Sora to destroy before leaving. Saïx then appears to Xemnas, who is watching Kingdom Hearts come closer to completion, and asks if he can end the "charade," to which Xemnas agrees.

When Xehanort's attempt to make Sora his final vessel ends in failure due to Lea's intervention, Saïx attacks [[Lea]], revealing his identity. After Donald and Goofy arrive, the real Organization XIII retreat to await the time to properly forge the [[χ-blade]].

Saïx wears a basic Organization black coat, along with the usual black gloves and boots. He has long blue hair vaguely reminiscent of Vexen's in style and length, though Saïx's is a bit wilder at the top. Most of his hair is tucked into his cloak, though a portion is not and falls over the back. As a vessel for Xehanort's heart, Saïx shares his pointed ears and amber eyes, as does his fellow vessel Xigbar. Saïx also wears stud earrings like Xaldin's. The X-shaped scar on Saïx's face is his most distinctive trait, with the vertex of this "X" lying between his eyes and extending from halfway up his forehead to just under his eyes. When Saïx enters his "Berserk" state, his eyes turn completely yellow, his scar becomes more jagged and a bit larger, and his hair becomes spiky and unruly. In the manga adaptation, he also gains sharp fanged teeth while berserk.

Saïx's transformation under the moon's power is a possible reference to several things, including the ancient belief that the moon caused madness, hence the term "lunatic"; the modern belief that the phases of the moon can affect a person's mood; the legend of the werewolf, humans who became savage beasts under the influence of a full moon; as well as the {{w|Berserker|berserker warriors}} of the Norse, who wore clothes made from bearskins as they went into battle in an insane fury and are the source of the modern term "berserk."

A slightly modified copy of Saïx's body model is used for [[Young Xehanort]]'s in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', though it is likely that this is simply due to data recycling rather than any deeper significance.

Along with Xemnas, Saïx appears to be one of the most "Nobody-like" of the Organization. Despite claiming to remember what possessing a heart was like, he behaves mostly as a cold, emotionless, and efficient operative, even in the direst of situations. He is very aware of how emotions are unreal to them, unlike other members who imitate their emotions. However, in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', it seems he values his friendship with Axel from their time as humans, indicating that he believes that Nobodies cannot even try to genuinely show emotion or form a real friendship without having had one with another beforehand, thus having memories to fall back on. According to Axel, the friendship between them weakened due to how Saïx changed too much after becoming a Nobody, leading to Axel ignoring him for Roxas and Xion.<ref>'''''[[Secret Reports#Day_118:_You_Changed,_Not_Me|Secret Reports]]''''', '''Axel:''' "Talking to Roxas and Xion always brings back memories of my human life, back when I was a kid. It's a weird sensation. I ought to be able to share all this with Saïx, but I just don't feel like it anymore. It's strange, but I'm content with just missing what's gone. I'm not the one who changed. You did."</ref> Thus, Saïx has a colder demeanor towards Axel in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

Saïx would later admit that his cold treatment of Axel was due to him being jealous of Axel's friendship with Roxas and Xion after Axel seemingly forgot about him and their goal of finding the girl; though Saïx would later admit that he knew better and that his old friend would never forget nor abandon him.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Saïx's Limit Break is also called {{c|Berserk|Limit Break}}.  During Berserk, Saïx enters a berserk stage; he rushes across the field and causes shockwaves. This intensifies during the Final Limit.

In '' Kingdom Hearts III'', Saix is shown to draw upon the limited moonlight at dusk. He also has access to a secondary "Berserk" gauge, allowing him to create four additional claymores to attack with; he can use them as shields or a supply of makeshift projectiles.
