Terra-Xehanort, at the time using his king's name, "Ansem", willingly gave his heart to the darkness in the pursuit of knowledge, creating both his Heartless and his Nobody, [[Xemnas]]. His Heartless was able to retain its selfhood for uncertain reasons, though it was believed that this was due to Terra-Xehanort's willing abandonment of his heart.<ref>'''[[Secret Ansem Report 10]]''': "But what if one willingly releases one's heart from one's body? Sora and Xehanort retained their selfhood even after becoming Heartless."</ref> As a result, he could command the lesser Heartless without consequence.<ref>'''[[Secret Ansem Report 5]]:''' "A human's command would be ineffective; the Heartless would easily steal the human's to increase their own ranks. But what if an even stronger Heartless was giving the commands? If he cast aside his own body and soul and became a Heartless, would he be able to control the otherwise intractable Heartless?"</ref> As a result, Ansem came to learn of the existence of [[Nobodies]], including his counterpart [[Xemnas]]; the two collaborated to fulfill Master Xehanort's goal of obtaining the [[X-blade]].<ref>'''''The Story So Far: Darkness:''''' "His heart, Ansem, manipulated [[Maleficent]] and [[Riku]] into gathering the seven pure lights he needed: the [[Princesses of Heart]]. His body, Xemnas, founded [[Organization XIII]], who would serve as the thirteen darknesses.</ref> | |||
On a quest from his original persona, Ansem travels back in time to when Xehanort lived on the [[Destiny Islands]]. Ansem entrusted his younger self with the mission to gather ten vessels to house fragments of [[Master Xehanort]]'s heart to create the [[real Organization XIII]] so that they could create the [[χ-blade]] and restart the legendary [[Keyblade War]]. To accomplish this, Ansem gave Xehanort the power to travel forward into the future. Once his mission was done, young Xehanort would lose his memory of the event, although the subconscious memory would lead Xehanort to become a [[Keyblade Master]]. Ansem himself remained on the Destiny Islands until the time the Destiny Islands were destroyed, ensuring a version of him existed across time to allow his younger self the ability to travel to any time period.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III}} | On a quest from his original persona, Ansem travels back in time to when Xehanort lived on the [[Destiny Islands]].

Disguising his actions as an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Ansem sent the Heartless to many worlds in the search of the [[Princesses of Heart]] to serve as the pure lights to forge the [[X-blade]]; many worlds fell in the process. Regardless if Xemnas could create thirteen darknesses, Ansem could create the lesser [[Keyblade of heart]] from the seven pure lights to open the [[Door to Darkness]], which leads to [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]]. | Disguising his actions as an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Ansem sent the Heartless to many worlds in the search of the [[Princesses of Heart]] to serve as the pure lights to forge the [[X-blade]]; many worlds fell in the process.
