Ventus served as Xehanort | After Ventus's jump through time he was found by Xehanort via the Magic Mirror, Ventus served as an apprentice to Master Xehanort, as part of the elderly Keyblade Master's plans to forge the legendary χ-blade. However, Ventus proved to be a poor candidate, and when he refused to use his [[darkness]] to fight several [[Neoshadow]] [[Heartless]] in the Keyblade Graveyard, Master Xehanort finally lost patience with him and used his own Keyblade to unlock and extract the darkness from Ventus's heart, using it to form a being of pure darkness who was then named "Vanitas" by Master Xehanort. | ||
Unfortunately, the process left Ventus in a comatose state, with his broken heart of pure light slowly fading out. Xehanort then took Ventus to the [[Destiny Islands]] to allow him to live out his last days peacefully. Ventus was sent to the [[Dive to the Heart]], where he came in contact with the heart of a newborn Sora. After a brief discussion, Ventus's heart connected with Sora's, halting its deterioration and allowing Ventus to stay alive until he someday becomes strong enough to repair the damage by himself. Ventus then summoned a Keyblade and shot a ray of light into the sky above, much to Xehanort's surprise. Xehanort decided that Ventus could still be of use in his master plan, but with Ventus still too weak in comparison to Vanitas, the two boys could not be trained under him since Vanitas had a naturally strong impulse to destroy Ventus. | Unfortunately, the process left Ventus in a comatose state, with his broken heart of pure light slowly fading out.

To prevent this, Xehanort brought Ventus to Land of Departure, where he could train as an apprentice to Master Eraqus. Terra and Aqua met Ventus with open arms. However, when Terra asked Ventus about his past, he screamed out in agony, eventually falling unconscious. Eraqus revealed that this was because Ventus had lost his memories. Afterwards, he remained asleep for some time. As he slept, Aqua kept watch over him, to keep him safe. Some time later, Ventus woke up. Overjoyed, Aqua quickly alerted Eraqus and a worried Terra about Ventus's recovery. | To prevent this, Xehanort brought Ventus to Land of Departure, where he could train as an apprentice to Master Eraqus.

Ventus and Aqua hold their Wayfinders to the sky, promising to share their stories with Terra after they save him. | ||
The next day, Ventus and the other [[Guardians of Light]] arrive at the Keyblade Graveyard, where they are immediately confronted by Master Xehanort and his various incarnations. Ventus sees Terra in the middle of the wasteland, but Aqua immediately realizes that it is not Terra. Her suspicions are confirmed when Terra's hair goes from brown to white, revealing himself to be Terra-Xehanort. Mickey concludes that Terra-Xehanort is the thirteenth member of the [[Real Organization XIII]]. Terra-Xehanort tells them that they will lose this fight, that all their hearts will be torn apart one by one. Nonetheless, Terra-Xehanort assures them that the χ-blade will be forged. Terra-Xehanort attacks both Lea and Ventus, removing them from combat, and while Donald destroys Terra-Xehanort with Zettaflare, the [[Demon Tide]] proceeds to take advantage of their weakness and eliminate Aqua, Ventus, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lea, and Kairi. While Sora is distraught over the loss of his friends and yields to the Demon Tower, Riku defends his friend long enough to reinspire hope in Sora's heart before both are consumed by the darkness as well. | The next day, Ventus and the other [[Guardians of Light]] arrive at the Keyblade Graveyard, where they are immediately confronted by Master Xehanort and his various incarnations.

Ventus's outfit is strikingly similar to Roxas's own [[Twilight Town]] clothes. He wears a jacket that resembles a fusion of Roxas's jacket (white on the right side) and Sora's jacket in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' (black on the left side), also reminiscent of the Yin and Yang symbol. The collar of the jacket is red and pleated, again, similar to the collar on Roxas's own jacket. Underneath this, he wears what appears to be a grey vest with a single button and several white, angular patterns on it. He wears a third layer under this, in the form of a plain, high-necked, black shirt.

Out of the main protagonists of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus is the | [[File:Fever Pitch KHBBS.png|thumb|200px|left|Ventus utilizing his exclusive Command Style, Fever Pitch.]] | ||
Out of the main protagonists of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus is the fastest and most agile, which reflects in his primary fighting style of dodging, quick movements and swift combo attacks. Ventus has an affinity for the wind and [[Light]] elements and mixes both into several of his techniques and magic attacks. Unlike most Keyblade wielders, Ventus wields his Keyblade, [[Wayward Wind]], in a reverse grip. Ventus's primary battle style consists of very fast, wide backhanded strikes with his Keyblade in quick succession to deal damage. His single strikes aren't as powerful as Sora's two-handed strikes or Terra's powerful blows, but his ability to attack quickly makes up for his lower attack power. | |||
In addition to his swift standard attacks, Ventus has access to a variety of exclusive {{c|attack command|KHBBS}}s in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Ventus can use his natural affinity for acrobatics to unleash an extended version of the [[Ars Arcanum]]-combo and exhibits advanced [[Strike Raid]] abilities like [[Wind Raid]], [[Spark Raid]] and [[Treasure Raid]]. Using his wind affinity, Ventus can use [[Tornado Strike]] to sweep his opponents away. Another exclusive, ultimate attack, [[Salvation]], enables Ventus to use his light affinity to its fullest. Ventus also makes heavy use of his wind powers in his personal finishing commands, the [[Air Flair]] series and his ultimate finisher, [[Stratosphere]]. Lastly, Ventus has another "Finish" Command exclusive to him, which is called [[Celebration]]. | In addition to his swift standard attacks, Ventus has access to a variety of exclusive {{c|attack command|KHBBS}}s in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.

Beside a variety of these abilities usable by all three or two of the protagonists in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus has access to three unique Command Styles and two exclusive Shotlocks. His first personal Command Style, [[Fever Pitch]], which is gained near the beginning of the game, lets Ventus use his speedy combat style to its fullest. The second exclusive Command Style, [[Cyclone]], is a powerful 2nd level Command Style which has Ventus use his wind powers to attack with wide-ranged spinning slashes in all directions. Ventus's third exclusive Command Style is called [[Wingblade]]. By activating this second level Command Style, Ventus discards his Keyblade in exchange for six silver-white glowing swords of light which float behind him like six glowing wings, reminiscent of the picture of a Seraph, a six-winged Angel. Along with Aqua, he can harness the power of the wind to activate [[Sky Climber]], which lifts the user off of the ground as they ride on a powerful wind current. Attacking with Sky Climber lets the user hover along the ground while rushing enemies with speedy, dashing attacks which knock enemies into the air. | Beside a variety of these abilities usable by all three or two of the protagonists in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus has access to three unique Command Styles and two exclusive Shotlocks.

Small and spry, Ventus has access to the already well-known [[Dodge Roll]] technique, as well as an offensive variant named [[Thunder Roll]]. Furthermore, he can use the [[Glide]] and [[Superglide]] abilities as well as another offensive version called [[Fire Glide]]. The [[Reversal]] command allows Ventus to quickly dodge an enemies attack and rush behind it, similar to the [[Reaction Command]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' used against the [[Dusk]] Nobodies. He can use quick {{c|Reprisal command|KHBBS}}s, such as [[Counter Rush]], which unleashes a flurry of blows after a successful block, [[Reversal Slash]], which unleashes an aerial attack after a successful [[Reversal]], and [[Payback Raid]], a counterattack using Strike Raid after being knocked into the air. | Small and spry, Ventus has access to the already well-known [[Dodge Roll]] technique, as well as an offensive variant named [[Thunder Roll]].

Ventus's Keyblades are primarily balanced in terms of attack and magic power. His versions of common Keyblades are shorter in length compared to Terra and Aqua's; this helps him better wield them in his signature backhand style. In the age of fairy tales Ventus used the Keyblade Missing Ache in its third form. By the time he became Master Xehanort's apprentice he was using Wayward Wind. Ventus has three exclusive Keyblades; his default Keyblade, Wayward Wind, along with Frolic Flame and Lost Memory.
