Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
At an unknown point in time, Lea's heart was consumed by darkness, turning him into a Heartless. However, his strong will gave him the ability to continue on as a Nobody: Axel. Some time later, Organization XIII found his Nobody, who received the name Axel and was inducted into their ranks as Number VIII. It is known that he joined alongside Saïx's complete being, and the two had a secret, unknown plan. At some point during Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, he has a conversation with Ventus, along with Saïx's complete being.

Appearance
Lea appeared in a recent trailer for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, not yet having been shown to the public. In it, he looks about the same age as Ventus, and slightly resembles Hayner. His hair resembles that of his Nobody's, but shorter. Lea wears an orange tank top and a scarf on his neck. Axel's tear-shaped marks do not appear on Lea's face.

Etymology
"Lea" is a name originated from the Anglo-Saxon, and it means "green field".
