'''Xehanort''' is the main antagonist of the ''[[Kingdom Hearts|Kingdom Hearts'' series]], a former apprentice of [[Ansem the Wise]], and the original persona of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], and [[Xemnas]]. | '''Xehanort''' is the main antagonist of the ''[[Kingdom Hearts|Kingdom Hearts'' series]], a former apprentice of [[Ansem the Wise]], and the original persona of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], and [[Xemnas]]. Xehanort was originally "born" as '''Terra-Xehanort''', when [[Master Xehanort]] forced his heart into [[Terra]]'s body, but became simply "Xehanort" when his personalities and memories were sealed within his heart. Xehanort is directly responsible for the creation of the [[Emblem Heartless]], the [[Nobody|Nobodies]], and [[Organization XIII]], and also indirectly responsible for putting most of the Disney villains on the hunt for [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]]. One way or another, Xehanort has made an appearance in every game of the "Xehanort Saga". Similar to the Organization XIII members, Xehanort's name contains the letter "X", along with anagrams for "No Heart" and "Another".<!-- | ||

While [[Sora]] was investigating [[Ansem the Wise]]'s study within [[Hollow Bastion]], he spots a portrait of an unnamed man. He and his friends ([[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]]) realize that this man was the original being of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|"Ansem"]], who Sora had defeated one year ago. After speaking with [[Tron]] and learning more about Ansem the Wise, they return to Ansem's study and run into King Mickey, who indicates that the true Ansem was not the one they fought. He asks them to give Tron some further help, and once they return, they find an image of an unknown man on Tron's computer, which Mickey identifies as a picture of the real Ansem. Later, after defeating [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless|the Heartless swarming the town]], the trio encounter [[Xemnas]], the Nobody of the fake Ansem and the superior of Organization XIII. Mickey finally remembers that Xemnas's original being was Xehanort, and explains about his past encounter with Ansem and Xehanort. | While [[Sora]] was investigating [[Ansem the Wise]]'s study within [[Hollow Bastion]], he spots a portrait of an unnamed man.

In [[The World That Never Was]], King Mickey encounters the true Ansem, and learns from him that his goal is to destroy Xemnas's artificial [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]] and exact revenge on Xehanort for stealing his name and pride. [[Riku]] and Sora also refer to the fake Ansem as "Xehanort's Heartless", when Sora mistakes Riku for the villain, and when Riku explains how he had gained Ansem's form. Later on, Ansem repeatedly uses the name "Xehanort" to insultingly refer to Xemnas, who replies by listing Ansem's own sins, and accusing Ansem of always holding his research back. | In [[The World That Never Was]], King Mickey encounters the true Ansem, and learns from him that his goal is to destroy Xemnas's artificial [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]] and exact revenge on Xehanort for stealing his name and pride.
