Template:Enemy Foreteller Aced is a Keyblade Master who appears in Kingdom Hearts χ. He is the leader of the Ursus Union.

Story

Before Kingdom Hearts χ

According to Chirithy, Aced was originally one of the six apprentices of his creator, The Master. He was assigned his name by the Master, and like the other four chosen to become Foretellers, he received a tome from the Book of Prophecies. Afterward, he established the Ursus Union to battle the darkness while using his tome to draw power from the future in the form of Medals, in an attempt to avert the Keyblade War prophesied in the Book.

This information is based on alternate scenes or materials and is not considered canon within the overall plot of the series.

In Kingdom Hearts χ, the Player is attacked by a Darkside upon arrival, but Aced shows up in person to chase the Darkside back through its Corridor of Darkness, leaving behind the Chirithy. Template:Canonend

After the Player learns to wield the Keyblade with help from Chirithy, Aced appears from a lane between. He explains the need to defeat Heartless and collect Lux, while noting that there is help in the form of their Union; as if to illustrate the point, a Darkside appears but is quickly dispatched by arriving members of the Union. Before leaving once again, Aced warns that some are seeking to collect the Lux out of greed rather than peace, and entreats the Player to help root out the darkness. Quest 3: Combat 102

As the Player continues to defeat Heartless and retrieve Lux, their Chirithy makes regular reports on their progress to Aced, who occasionally assigns the Player tests of skill in response. Quest 200: Heading Home Pt. 6

Following the demise of Chirithy (2), Aced informs Chirithy that despite the Unions' best efforts, darkness continues to grow in power, leading Chirithy to speculate that there is a traitor among the Foretellers. Quest 250: Heartless Havoc: Fountain Square

Having returned from Beast's Castle, Chirithy comes to the Player with a new assignment from Aced: they must hunt down Heartless within the Corridors of Darkness themselves, with only a set of Bracelet of Light to survive exposure to the darkness. Quest 491: Corridor of Darkness Pt. 1 After the Player successfully completes this task, Chirithy reports it to Aced, but questions the wisdom of assigning such a dangerous mission. Aced explains that the darkness continues to spread, unabated, and that the Unions must grow as much as possible and develop a resistance to the darkness in order to survive.
