<!--rewrite in-universe, and chronologically-->
Four years before the events of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Ventus served as an apprentice to [[Master Xehanort]], as part of the elderly Keyblade Master's plans to forge the legendary [[X-blade]]. However, Ventus proved to be a poor candidate, and when he refused to use his [[darkness]] to fight several [[Neoshadow]] [[Heartless]] in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Master Xehanort finally lost patience with him and used [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade|his own Keyblade]] to extract the darkness from Ventus' heart, forming a being of pure darkness who is then named "[[Vanitas]]" by Master Xehanort.
<!--A flashback sequence shows Ventus in the Keyblade Graveyard, surrounded by [[Neoshadow]]s. At the time, he was still Master Xehanort's apprentice, and the Heartless were a means of bringing out Ven's inner darkness. However, Ventus refused to use his darkness and was rendered unconscious. Disappointed in his failure of an apprentice, Master Xehanort extracts the darkness from within Ven, creating Vanitas.-->


Ventus is the youngest of [[Master Eraqus]]'s three apprentices. Ventus's earliest appearance is in the opening cutscene, where [[Master Xehanort]] carries Ven's body to [[Destiny Islands]]. In this flashback, Ventus has an [[Awakening]], and it's revealed that his heart is damaged and may soon fade. It is there that [[Sora]]'s heart speaks to him, offering to connect with his until the day he can become stronger. The two hearts connect to one another, and Ven's heart heals. At the end of this scene, Ventus summons a Keyblade and projects an energy beam that parts the clouds above, much to Master Xehanort's surprise.  
Unfortunately, the process left Ventus in a comatose state, with his broken heart of pure light slowly fading out. Master Xehanort, disguised in a [[Black Coat]], then took Ventus to the [[Destiny Islands]] to allow him to life out his last days peacefully. Ventus is sent to the [[Dive to the Heart]], where he comes in contact with the heart of a newborn [[Sora]]. After a brief discussion, Ventus' heart joins with Sora's, allowing Ven to remain alive and hopefully become strong enough to reclaim what he lost. Ventus then summons a Keyblade and shoots a ray of light into the sky above, much to Master Xehanort's surprise.


Following these events, Xehanort brought Ventus to Land of Departure, where he could train as an apprentice to Master Eraqus. Terra and Aqua met Ventus with open arms. However, when Terra asked Ventus about his past, he screamed out in agony, eventually falling unconscious. Eraqus revealed that this was because Ven had lost his memories. Afterwards, he remained asleep for some time. As he slept, Aqua kept watch over him, to keep him safe. Some time later, Ven woke up. Overjoyed, Aqua quickly alerted Eraqus and a worried Terra about Ven's recovery.

The two introduce themselves to one another, and Mickey tells Ven about the [[Star Shard]]. Apparently, it allows him to travel to different worlds, but he still doesn't know all of its secrets. Shortly after, the Star Shard sends the two of them both to [[Radiant Garden]], and Ven tries to follow Mickey, only to be intercepted by [[Aeleus]] and [[Dilan]]. After spying an Unversed, Ven gives up his search for Mickey and instead trails after the Monster. He's interrupted several times, by [[Scrooge McDuck]], who gives him lifetime passes to [[Disney Town]] and [[Merlin]], who tells him of the book to the [[100 Acre Wood]].

Eventually, he does find the Unversed he was chasing, as well as Terra and Aqua. Together, they face the [[Trinity Armor]], but after its defeat, things change for the worst.

First, Aqua tries to tell Ven to go home, and then she and Terra get into a fight regarding the darkness and Eraqus's intentions. The whole time, Ven is left completely confused, as he'd never seen his friends bicker in such a way. In the end, he tells Aqua that she's let being a Master go to her head, and he leaves to find Terra again.

His search is interrupted again, when he spots [[Ienzo]] being attacked by the Unversed. Without any hesitation, Ventus protects the boy and defeats his attackers. [[Even]] arrives shortly after and thanks Ventus for his help. Then, when asked about Terra's location, he tells Ven to look in the Outer Gardens.

Though Ven does find Terra, their reunion is short lived, as Terra leaves, telling Ven that he can't come along, but when he really needs him, he knows he'll be there.

Meeting up with Aqua again, Ven asks to come along, but Aqua orders him to return to the Land of Departure in a somewhat harsh matter. Seeing Ven's disappointment, Aqua softens and explains that she merely doesn't want him to get hurt before departing.


For a while, Ven stays in Radiant Garden, reminiscing about the times when his friendship wasn't strained by newfound complications. He's left wondering just what it means to be friends, and after meeting [[Lea]] and [[Isa]] he becomes more and more curious about friendship.

However, Vanitas is defeated by Aqua and Mickey, and right as the χ-blade is damaged by their fight, Vanitas and Ventus engage in a metaphysical battle, where Vanitas tries to rejoin with Ventus and repair the χ-blade. Ven, however, refuses and chooses to defeat Vanitas and destroy the weapon, even if it means the destruction of his own heart.

The two engage in a decisive battle, and towards the end, Vanitas forces a [[D-Link]] on Ventus in hopes of completing their fusion. However, Ventus prevails, and the χ-blade is destroyed along with Vanitas.  Unfortunately, this also results in Ventus losing his heart. Aqua later places his body in [[Chambers of Repose and Waking|a chamber]] within [[Castle Oblivion]]. Somehow, Ventus's heart finds its way to a young Sora, in his own Awakening, and his heart passes on into Sora's body, granting the young boy the ability to use Ventus's Keyblade.

*In the final battle with Vanitas, Ven says "''My friends are my power!''" which is similar to Sora saying "''My friends are my power!''" in his fight with Riku, making the connection between them stronger.
