Story

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Braig makes his debut in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, as a boss for Terra. Utilizing dual Arrowguns and superb speed, he is responsible for the temporary capture of Master Xehanort. He appears to be knowledgable of the Keyblade, and it should be noted that Braig's role is considerably larger than the other four (barring Xehanort) apprentices' roles.

Dabbling In Darkness

About a decade prior to Kingdom Hearts, Braig was one of six apprentices to the ruler and scientist of Radiant Garden, Ansem the Wise, alongside Xehanort, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo. Worried the Darkness in people's hearts would eventually consume his world, Ansem began performing tests on Xehanort's heart. Eventually, he created a laboratory in his castle's basement for such experimentation. However, Braig and the other apprentices had their own intentions for the laboratory, and began conducting inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it. Such experimentation led to the creation of Heartless. Ansem quickly discovered their secret experiments, and immediately ordered them to stop. One day, after being advised to review their research data by King Mickey, Ansem found that the effects of their experiments had become irreversible.

Eventually, Braig and the other five apprentices dabbled too deep into darkness through their continued experiments. Braig, along with the others, was consumed by the darkness, producing a Heartless. However, the apprentices all had strong wills, and so Braig also became his Nobody, Xigbar. The six Nobodies formed Organization XIII, and banished Ansem the Wise to the Realm of Nothingness.

Appearance

Braig appears wearing attire similar to Dilan and Aeleus, along with a red scarf tied around his neck that appears to be fraying at the corner. His jacket bears some resemblance to Xigbar's black cloak, sporting the same pointed shoulders. From what is visible, he doesn't have any of his Nobody's distinguishing facial scars and wears no eye-patch, along with looking considerably younger. He does however, have golden eyes, the same color as his Nobody. In the Jump Festa 2010 trailer, he is seen wearing his eyepatch and a scar on his left cheek. His hair is black, lacking the gray his Nobody has, and it appears to be considerably shorter and slicked back. He also has rather tan skin. He wields twin Arrowguns, which would influence his choice of weapons as Xigbar in the Organization.

Fighting Style

Braig, like his Nobody Xigbar, wields twin Arrowguns in battle, using them to fire a variety of quick shots. He uses a telescopic view in battle and is able to walk upside-down via space distortion, as seen in the Jump Festa 2010 trailer. Later magazine scans released a screenshot showing that Braig, again like Xigbar, is able to combine his two weapons into one in order to fire powerful shots in rapid succession.

Trivia

  • Like Xigbar, Braig is shown to have a telescopic view in battle. It can safely be assumed that Braig will utilize the same tactics against Terra that his Nobody does against Sora. It is unknown if this telescopic tactic will be changed with the English release of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, as Xigbar's was for Kingdom Hearts II.
  • In the North American version of Kingdom Hearts II, his name is misspelled as "Bleig".
