Organization XIII

From KHUWiki

Organization XIII is a group of fourteen Nobodies created for the Kingdom Hearts series. They were originally introduced in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix's secret ending video, "Another Side, Another Story [deep dive]", along with a member as an optional boss in the game. More members were further introduced in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories as the Organization . In the third game, they sought to discover the mysteries that lie within the heart and use the power of Kingdom Hearts to become complete humans. The fourteen members include:

Orgin

The Organization was first formed when the six former disciples of Ansem the Wise became Heartless. Their Nobodies then created the Organization. Members are numbered in the order in which they joined, with Xemnas, the Nobody of Xehanort, numbered one as their leader. Each member also has the letter "X" placed in his/her name. The remaining letters are an anagram of their name prior to becoming a Nobody. As Nobodies, they lack emotion and morality, and are unable to feel guilt and remorse for their actions. The first two characters conceived were Xemnas, as number I, and Roxas, as number XIII. In an upcoming game, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, a fourteenth member of Organization XIII will be added.

Attire

Organization XIII wears black cloaks with hoods. As revealed in Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories, the cloaks are made of nothingness. It can be used to block out the smell of a person's existance. But in the case of Organization XIII, It is also used to protect against the degrading effects of darkness.
