Template:InfoCharacter Vanitas (ヴァニタス Vanitasu) is a mysterious character introduced in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. He is the sole apprentice of Master Xehanort, and appears to be one of the game's antagonists. His name is derived from the Latin word for "Vanity" or "Emptiness", and was chosen both for its meaning, and that it sounded similar to "Ventus". Vanitas is known to know something about Ventus; even Master Xehanort questions him about the young apprentice.
Appearance
Vanitas wears a black and red organic-looking bodysuit and a silver helmet covered with dark glass, hiding his face from view. The suit's appearance is quite similar to Riku's Dark Mode from Kingdom Hearts and Chain of Memories. He wields an unnamed Keyblade that is colored in red and black, also bearing two blue eyes that were previously unique to Riku's Soul Eater and Way to the Dawn.
Fighting Style
Vanitas is a skilled warrior with the Keyblade and with magic. He is seen casting thunder and blizzard magic, performing complicated acrobatics, and even rides the flying Keyblades that Master Xehanort sends out.
In actual gameplay, he is known to fight Aqua in Radiant Garden sometime during Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
Also, Vanitas's battle stance, as seen in a trailer, greatly resembles Riku's battle stance.
