Character from Kingdom Hearts by Tetsuya Nomura / Square Enix & Disney
Master Xehanort's time-traveling younger self who gathered thirteen vessels of darkness across time to form the Real Organization XIII.
Young Xehanort is his future self stripped of age and philosophy, leaving only cold ambition and raw power. Granted the ability to travel through time by his own Heartless, he moves through the timeline gathering the thirteen darknesses needed to clash with the seven lights and forge the chi-blade. He is cocky where his elder self is measured, arrogant where the old man is patient. He looks at Sora and Riku not as worthy opponents but as inconveniences to be managed. His manipulation of the sleeping worlds in Dream Drop Distance nearly succeeded in turning Sora into the thirteenth vessel. Despite his youth, he possesses terrifying mastery over time magic — slowing, reversing, and stopping the flow of time at will. He is immune to Mickey's most powerful Stop spell. His dual blades shift form fluidly between weapons, and his combat style emphasizes overwhelming speed and temporal tricks.
A young man with mildly tanned skin, silver hair that spikes and falls past his shoulders, pointed ears, and golden eyes. He wears a black sleeveless top under a long black coat. He wields dual energy blades that can transform into a whip or spear, and later his own Keyblade with dark motifs.
Also known as: Young Xehanort, Number XII
