An '''Absent Silhouette''' is a "ghost" version of a member of [[Organization XIII]] who had already been slain. It appears as an extra set of challenges in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+]]''. Whenever [[Sora]] challenges an Absent Silhouette to a battle, the Absent Silhouette takes the form of the slain member it represents and fights him.  There are five Absent Silhouettes in total: [[Vexen]], [[Lexaeus]], [[Zexion]], [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]]. All of them died in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''.

At first, the Absent Silhouette looks like a sphere of darkness with nothingness and the slain member's element circling around it; a picture of the slain member [[Weapon]] is also featured in the center of the sphere.  When Sora accepts its challenge, it warps Sora to wherever its member was last fought, with the exception of Marluxia's, which is the area of the second to last battle against him. There, it challenges him to an extremely difficult battle.

An Absent Silhouette usually bears a different fighting style than the member originally exhibited in ''Chain of Memories''. For example, Larxene often threw her [[Organization XIII Weapons/Larxene|knives]] and Zexion created copies of himself using the stolen skills of his opponent. However, in ''Final Mix+'', Larxene's Silhouette favors using copies of herself for speedy attacks from all directions, and Zexion's favors trapping his prey into a dimension within his weapon, a lexicon.
