Braig

Unreleased

Braig was one of the six apprentices to Ansem the Wise, and the complete being of Xigbar. He is a confirmed character to appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Dabbling In Darkness
About a decade prior to Kingdom Hearts, Braig was one of six apprentices to the ruler and scientist of Radiant Garden, alongside Xehanort, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo. Worried the Darkness in people's hearts would eventually consume his world, Ansem began performing tests on Xehanort's heart. Eventually, he created a laboratory in his castle's basement for such experimentation. However, Braig and the other apprentices had their own intentions for the laboratory, and began conducting inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it. Such experimentation led to the creation of Heartless. Ansem quickly discovered their secret experiments, and immediately ordered them to stop. One day, after being advised to review their research data by King Mickey, Ansem found that the effects of their experiments had become irreversible.

Eventually, Braig and the other five apprentices dabbled too deep into darkness through their continued experiments. Braig, along with the others, was consumed by the darkness, producing a Heartless. However, the apprentices all had strong wills, and so Braig also became his Nobody, Xigbar. The six Nobodies formed Organization XIII, and banished Ansem the Wise to the Realm of Nothingness.

Appearance
In light of the recent scan, Braig appears wearing attire similar to Dilan and Aeleus. From what is visible, he doesn't look like he has the scar that his Nobody Xigbar has, and also seems to not have an eyepatch. His hair is not streaked with grey, either. Besides these changes, he looks very much like his Nobody counterpart, Xigbar.
