'''Even''' is one of [[Ansem the Wise]]'s six apprentices, as well as the human form of [[Vexen]].

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
Even is an apprentice to [[Ansem the Wise]], the ruler and leading scientist of [[Radiant Garden]]], alongside [[Braig]], [[Dilan]], [[Aeleus]], and [[Ienzo]]. Even approaches Dilan and Aeleus as they are about to follow [[Ventus]] to fight off the [[Unversed]], and stops them from leaving as protecting the castle should be their priority. Sensing that Ventus's heart has been stripped of darkness, Even tells them that they shouldn't worry about Ventus as he is special.

After Ienzo wanders off, Even goes looking for him, and finds him with Ventus, who has rescued him from Unversed. Even thanks Ventus for his help, and, when asked if he has seen [[Terra]], directs Ventus to the Outer Gardens. Even tells Ventus he believes they are fated to meet again, before leaving with Ienzo.

===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
Worried that the [[darkness]] in people's [[heart]]s would eventually consume his world, Ansem and his apprentices begin performing tests on [[Terra-Xehanort]]'s heart, which Even shows particular interest in. Eventually, Ansem creates a laboratory in his castle's basement for such experimentation. Unbeknownst to Ansem, Even and the other apprentices begin using the laboratory to conduct inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it. Such experimentation leads to the creation of [[Heartless]]. When Ansem discovers their secret experiments, he immediately orders them to stop.

Shortly after [[Lea]] and [[Isa]] join them as apprentices, Even and the other apprentices oust Ansem and banish him to the [[Realm of Darkness]]. Xehanort convinces the other apprentices to cast off their hearts, and uses his newly-regained ability to use a Keyblade to remove their hearts, producing Heartless. Due to their strong wills, they also continue on as [[Nobodies]]. The apprentices found [[Organization XIII]], and Even takes on the name Vexen.

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
[[File:Lea Awakens 01 KH3D.png|thumb|Even revives alongside Dilan, Aeleus, and Ienzo.]]
Following the destruction of his Heartless and Vexen, Even is restored to human form within the [[Heartless Manufactory]] alongside Dilan, Ienzo, Aeleus, and Lea, but remains unconscious when the others wake up.

===Between ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Sometime after Lea leaves, Even wakes up, but has still not fully recovered. While on a walk through the town square, Even encounters [[Saïx]], who offers Even the chance to become a Nobody again to complete his research on the [[Replica Program]] and help bring [[Roxas]] back. Seeing Saïx's offer as a chance to make amends, Even becomes Vexen again and rejoins the group as a reserve member.{{storylink|Secret Report 7}}

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Following [[Xehanort]]'s defeat, Even is recompleted once again, and returns to his position at the castle. He assists Ansem and Ienzo with restoring [[Naminé]] through a Replica.

Some time later, Even, Ienzo, and Ansem study Kairi's memories after she volunteers to be put into a sleep so they can look for clues to [[Sora]]'s whereabouts.

===''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory''===
A year later, Even continues to study Kairi's memories alongside Ienzo and Ansem. Eventually, Kairi awakens with a clue from her memories of Terra-Xehanort. After discussion, they surmise that the clue points to Sora being in a world of "unreality, or fiction".

==Design==
Even's appearance matches his Nobody's appearance exactly, except for the differing outfits and his eyes, which are a brighter shade of light green. He wears a long white lab coat, grey vest, white collared shirt, and a purple ascot. He also seems to wear black pants and silver lined boots identical to those worn by Organization XIII members.

==Personality==
Even shared his Nobody's scientific curiosity and thirst for knowledge.  Unlike his post-counterpart, however, Even displayed a friendlier and gentler disposition, expressing gratitude to Ventus for rescuing Ienzo from a swarm of Unversed.  He appeared to have a strong bond with the young Ienzo, apparently acting as the boy's caretaker and personally going out to look for him as Radiant Garden was infested with the Unversed.
