History

Backstory
Exists as the Nobody born when Sora was consumed by strong darkness and turned into a Heartless. Took on the appearance of a young boy around 14 years old and became the 13th member of Organization XIII. Had no memories from his human days, but through interactions with comrades in the Organization, emotions began to sprout, gradually leading to torment over the contradictions of his ego and existence. Eventually deserted the Organization, learned his true identity as Sora's Nobody, and merged with Sora, ceasing to exist. This story is depicted through the prologue of Kingdom Hearts II and 358/2 Days. Later revived as a replica body in Kingdom Hearts III, aiding Sora once again.
