'''Terra-Xehanort''', often simply called '''Xehanort''' and later briefly known as '''Ansem''', is the result of [[Master Xehanort]] forcing his heart into the body of [[Terra]], and by extension, the original persona of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Xemnas]].

Terra-Xehanort first appears at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] when Master Xehanort uses [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade|his Keyblade]] to unlock his heart and possess Terra after the creation of the [[χ-blade]], seeking to use Terra's body as a younger and more powerful weapon as he ventures deeper into the mystery of the [[Keyblade War]]. Terra fails to shield himself with his [[Keyblade Armor|armor]], becoming Terra-Xehanort, a younger incarnation of the elderly [[Keyblade]] master. As he walks off, Terra-Xehanort is forced to battle the [[Lingering Will]], Terra's armor come alive through Terra's mind. Terra-Xehanort is knocked unconscious and is then sent to the [[Radiant Garden]] in a blast of light caused by the destruction of the χ-blade (and [[Vanitas]]) by [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]]. The Lingering Will continues to reside in the Keyblade Graveyard from then on, [[Kingdom Hearts]] vanishing above it.

Aqua, learning from [[Yen Sid|Master Yen Sid]] that Terra's heart has been lost, is led to [[Radiant Garden]] through Terra's voice after hearing it when she leaves a comatose Ventus to rest peacefully in [[Chambers of Repose and Waking|a chamber]] in [[Castle Oblivion|the newly reshaped Land of Departure]].

Confused about his identity (due to the conflicting hearts Terra and Master Xehanort within him), Terra-Xehanort attacks Aqua with [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade]] and [[Xehanort's Guardian|a Heartless-like guardian]].

[[Sora]] finds a painting of Xehanort while investigating Ansem the Wise's study. At first, he believes that Xehanort is Ansem the Wise, given that he is the original being of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|"Ansem"]], but following discussions with [[Tron]] and King Mickey, Sora finally realises the truth about Ansem and Xehanort, and seethes with fury at Xehanort's painting, labelling him as the cause of all the chaos and mostly Riku and Kairi's situation, although he remains in the dark about Xehanort's connections to Master Xehanort and Terra.

Xehanort himself appears in King Mickey's flashback, where Xehanort requests permission to proceed with an experiment but is denied by Ansem, a scenario which Mickey witnessed ten years ago. This memory is what leads Mickey to remember Xehanort's name and identify [[Xemnas]], the leader of [[Organization XIII]], as Xehanort's Nobody.

==Appearance==
Terra-Xehanort's appearance is identical to Terra's, only with silver hair, darker skin and yellow eyes. He also bears a striking resemblance to Master Xehanort in his youth, and some of his physical traits are later carried on to Ansem and Xemnas.
Terra-Xehanort's appearance is identical to Terra's, only with silver hair, darker skin and yellow eyes.  


As an apprentice under Ansem the Wise, Xehanort wears a white labcoat with rather loose sleeves that is partway zipped down. The coat also has pockets roughly where Xehanort's hips are. He wears black boots that are identical to those worn by Ansem, Xemnas, and the members of [[Organization XIII]], with a white/silver lining along the top and an indentation on the sides. Underneath his coat, Xehanort wears a grey vest overtop a white collar shirt, along with a purple ascot around his neck. During this time, his hair is worn long, with two bangs framing his face. His eyes have gone from yellow to brown. His hair also sports three backward-facing spikes, one at the top of his head, and one on either side, just above his ears.

==Abilities==
Terra-Xehanort, being a possessed version of [[Terra]], is able to use many of [[Terra]] and [[Master Xehanort]]'s old abilities. He wields [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade]], and uses it to perform techniques Ars Solum, a fast combo comprised of multiple hits. He can use Meteor and Quake as well, one of the few bosses that is able to heal with Curaga. When in desperate need of power, Terra-Xehanort gains access to the Dark Impulse [[Command Style]], as well as the [[Dark Volley]] and [[Ultima Cannon]] [[Shotlock]]s. Terra-Xehanort also appears to possess enhanced strength, able to effortlessly lift Aqua off the ground by the throat with one hand.

Xehanort also can call upon his [[Xehanort's Guardian|"Guardian"]], a [[Pureblood Heartless]]-like symbiote that floats behind him and serves as both his main source of offense and defense. Its great power also makes it capable of slamming opponents with physical blows, possessing targets, and firing dark energy projectiles. While Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, can also use the Guardian in other installments, its first chronological appearance is during Terra-Xehanort's battle with Aqua in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.

===Weapon===
===Weapon===
After Master Xehanort possesses Terra towards the end of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Terra-Xehanort is able to wield Master Xehanort's Keyblade. The weapon has a spiky shaft, a gleaming eye found near the teeth, which look similar to a battle ax. It is black and silver in coloration, able to lock and unlock hearts, appearing similar to the [[Oblivion]] Keyblade. It also contains two demonic blue eyes; one above the handle and the other one on the head, similar to the [[Soul Eater]], [[Way to the Dawn]], and [[Void Gear]]. Terra-Xehanort uses the weapon to perform long, powerful combo attacks, as well as use several powerful desperation attacks. After Terra-Xehanort loses his memories, he loses his ability to wield this weapon, but a year later, he regains it and uses it to unlock Braig's heart.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Terra-Xehanort does not serve as a boss battle until the series' sixth installment, ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Until ''Birth by Sleep'', he was known as '''Xehanort''' and built up to be the main villain of the Xehanort Saga, although that game's events appear to place Master Xehanort in that role instead.
