Template:InfoCharacter Ienzo was one of the six apprentices to Ansem the Wise, and the complete being of Zexion. He is a confirmed character to appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Story

Dabbling In Darkness

About a decade prior to Kingdom Hearts, Ienzo was one of six apprentices to the ruler and scientist of Radiant Garden, alongside Xehanort, Braig, Dilan, Even, and Aeleus. Worried the Darkness in people's hearts would eventually consume his world, Ansem began performing tests on Xehanort's heart. Eventually, at Ienzo's persuasion, he created a laboratory in his castle's basement for such experimentation. However, Ienzo 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, Ienzo and the other five apprentices dabbled too deeply into darkness through their continued experiments. Ienzo, along with the others, was consumed by the darkness, producing a Heartless. However, the apprentices all had strong wills, and so Ienzo also became his Nobody, Zexion. The six Nobodies formed Organization XIII, and banished Ansem the Wise to the Realm of Nothingness.

Appearance

Like Even, Ienzo has a scientist-like appearance, wearing the same white coat that Even wears. Oddly, Ienzo appears to be much younger than his Nobody, Zexion, perhaps even younger than Ventus.[1] This could be explained by the fact that Birth by Sleep took place approximately 10 years prior to the original Kingdom Hearts, meaning that Zexion likely aged during the 10 years giving him a more "adult-like" appearance in Chain of Memories. Otherwise, he completely resembles his Nobody, Zexion, with a few minor changes such as shorter, lighter hair. His eyes also appear to be a lighter shade of blue. Likely due to his size, Ienzo folds the sleeves of his lab coat back, and even then his hands are partially covered. He also wears blue pants and black shoes, as opposed to the other apprentices' black boots.
