Secret Ansem Reports

The Secret Ansem's Reports are a series of files detailing the back story of Kingdom Hearts II. While the original game's Ansem Reports were in fact written by the impostor Ansem, better known as Xehanort's Heartless, the Secret Ansem's Reports were written by Ansem the Wise.

Report 1 details Ansem's pride in Radiant Garden, and his curiosity regarding the darkness of the heart and the missing memories of Xehanort.

Report 2 explains Ansem's discovery of his apprentices' experiments, his first meeting with Mickey Mouse, and the discovery of the forged Ansem Reports.

Report 3 recounts how Ansem discovered the fate of his apprentices, his banishment into the realm of nothingness, and the taking of the name DiZ.

Report 4 displays Ansem's resolve to escape and take revenge on his renegade pupils.

Report 5 is written as Ansem figures out the true nature of the Heartless, and the reality of Xehanort's plan.

Report 6 sees Ansem learn to control the darkness, wonder on the fate of his other five students, and his first meeting with a Nobody.

Report 7 details the nature of the Nobodies, Organization XIII, and DiZ's decision to journey to Castle Oblivion.

Report 8 takes place at the very beginning of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, detailing the defeat of Xehanort's Heartless and the beginning of Sora and Riku's adventures in Castle Oblivion.

Report 9 explains the truth about Namine's origins and the end to Chain of Memories.

Report 10 goes on to explain Ansem's personal theories regarding the Nobodies and his meeting with Riku.

Report 11 explains the nature of in between-world Traverse Town and Castle Oblivion are a part of, the corridors of darkness, and Ansem's decision to use Roxas to restore Sora.

Report 12 is written just after the capture of Roxas by Riku, and sees Ansem's determination to defeat the Organization renewed.

Report 13 takes place one day prior to Sora's awakening. Ansem reflects on the impending closure of his revenge. He hopes that Riku and Sora can go home and regrets that he will never get to converse with King Mickey or go back home again.
