He was a [[Keyblade wielder]] before [[Sora]] ever became one, and was originally from the age of fairytales.

But was assured by Skuld and Ephemer that they consider him a friend. When the fourth Union leader, [[Brain]], arrives, he asks them if the rules [[Ava]] provided them were absolute, which Skuld confirms, prompting him and Brain to comment that she shares Ava's diligence. When he and Brain voice their discomfort with lying to their comrades about the Keyblade War, Ephemer states that no one else should have to carry the burden of the past, a sentiment Ventus and the others accept.{{storylink|Quest 675: Master Aced}} | ||
After the final Union leader, [[Lauriam]], arrives, the Union leaders go to [[Daybreak Town]] and enter the Foretellers' Chamber. When Skuld proposes that they begin choosing which Union each of them will lead, Ephemer recommends that they maintain the Union χ in order to prevent the conflicts of the past world, with the others agreeing to reconstitute the old system later as the rules stated. Brain suggests that, while the Dandelions are reliving the events of the past, they collect the necessary ingredients to create new [[Dream Eaters|Spirits]] and have Ventus, Ephemer, and Skuld collect them while he and Lauriam stay behind to make the necessary preparations.{{storylink|Quest 735: The Shiny Hammer Pt. 5}} | After the final Union leader, [[Lauriam]], arrives, the Union leaders go to [[Daybreak Town]] and enter the Foretellers' Chamber.

When the time comes to discuss the matter of the Shift Pride, Ventus was called to a meeting between the Union Leaders. But sees that Lauriam is not here, with Brain explaining that, whatever the agenda is, Lauriam sided with Ephemer. Proceeding, the group discusses the nature of the Shift Pride. Having not initially understood what the Shift Pride was, Ventus rejects the notion, not wanting wielders to fight one another again, to which Skuld concurs. Brain affirms that it is a law, and thus they should follow through with it, also believing that a little competition would be fun for everyone. When Ephemer admits that he wants to follow the rules, voting in favor of the Shift Pride it shocks him. Ephemer then explains that he intends on having wielders compete against the data versions of their comrades to avoid a clashing of hearts, admitting that Lauriam gave him the idea. They wonder who Lauriam could be looking for, but Brain's suggests, they wait for him to come to them rather than pry.{{storylink|Quest 846: More Heartless in Daybreak Town Pt. 1}} | When the time comes to discuss the matter of the Shift Pride, Ventus was called to a meeting between the Union Leaders.

Although Skuld doesn't offer much insight, Lauriam accepts this and worries that Strelitzia may have ended up fighting in the Keyblade War after all. However, Brain notes that the entire situation seems odd, and after reviewing the information Ventus is surprised that Ephemer knew someone who fits the description his friend Player.{{storylink|Quest 851: More Heartless in Daybreak Town Pt. 6}} | ||
Left with Brain and Skuld, Ventus periodically looks at Brain as he reads from the copy of the [[Book of Prophecies]]. When Brain notices, asking him what's wrong, he notes on his comrade's curiosity with reading it and asks if he'd been researching something. He hears Brain's goal, that at the present, they are still following a destructive destiny, believing that overwriting the Keyblade War changed nothing, so he would become the virus to overwrite that destiny.{{storylink|Quest 860: Daybreak Fun with Ephemer Pt. 5}} | Left with Brain and Skuld, Ventus periodically looks at Brain as he reads from the copy of the [[Book of Prophecies]].

Alone, Ventus asks for Skuld's opinion on what Brain said, with her suggesting that Brain knows what he's doing, but questioned why the Dandelions avoided the Keyblade War if they were destined for ruin anyway. He then suggests that they talk to Ephemer about this, but just then, a glitch triggers a projection of Ava and the [[Master of Masters]], where they discuss which Union Leader meant to inherit the copy of the Book of Prophecies. Seeing this, Ventus immediately asks where Brain is, leaving to get him from the Control Room.{{storylink|Quest 861: Trouble at the Tower?

Later, Ventus and Skuld go to Daybreak Town and marvel how it snowed in the data world until they were found by Brain's Chirithy. {{storylink|Quest 920: Chocolate Monster Madness}} Being called to a meeting by [[Brain]] and Ephemer. They were asked who told them they were Union leaders and where he remembers it was Master Ava and did so near the clock tower.

Ventus was disappointed that he wasn't chosen to be a Union leader despite everyone believing his innocence. Further understanding that someone or something threw a problem into Ava's plans the others believed that Darkness posed as her, killed Strelitzia and gave Ventus her book.

However, Ventus grabs his head in pain where he vaguely sees Strelitzia dying horrified that he may have done something to her, but was comforted by Brain as they plan to tell Lauriam about his sister's intended role back at the clock tower.{{storylink|Quest 935: Heartless in the Hideout Pt. 3}} | ||
The constant strain of remembering what happened to Strelitzia puts Ventus to sleep in his room. Through his dreams, he finally remembered what happened to her. Under the presence of Darkness posing as Master Ava, he was possessed by the dark influence but only took her rulebook while the Darkness killed her and left the house. Waking up afterwards, Ventus starts to cry, feeling guilt-ridden about what happened.{{storylink|Quest 960: To the Race Track!

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). 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. He also has a chunk of dull green and grey blue armor on his midsection that appears to be under his vest, and another piece of armor on his left shoulder. | Ventus's outfit is strikingly similar to Roxas's own [[Twilight Town]] clothes.

His gloves are a shade of brown, and the black mask on his helmet has a slight orange tint. Ventus's helmet has a notably different design from Terra and Aqua’s, appearing more squashed and flat at the top.

Out of the main protagonists of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus is the | 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''.

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. Frolic Flame is obtained after Ventus meets Lea and Isa, and Lost Memory is received when Ventus remembers his past on Destiny Islands. | Ventus's Keyblades are primarily balanced in terms of attack and magic power.
