As a young man, he was paid a visit by his future self's Heartless, Ansem, who granted him the power to traverse time and tasked him with gathering twelve other incarnations of himself from across time. After carrying out his duties in the future, Xehanort returned to his proper place in time at the Destiny Islands. While the rules of time travel prevented him from keeping his memories of his travels, they engraved themselves on his heart<!--cite to xehanort report in ultimania and 3d script--> so that he retained a desire to eventually leave the islands. | ||

Xehanort eventually found a way to depart his home world and arrived at [[Scala ad Caelum]], where he encountered a Keyblade Master. Under this master, he began training as a [[Keyblade]] wielder, along with his fellow pupil [[Eraqus]], who Xehanort eventually came to see as a brother. The two often spent their time between training playing chess.{{fact}}<!--we do not see the real ones playing chess, only metaphors--> The Master taught the two the ways of the Keyblade and that their role as Keyblade wielders was to protect the worlds of [[light]] from [[darkness]]. However, this answer was unsatisfactory to Xehanort, and he often visited other worlds without permission to learn more. Initially, Xehanort wore [[Keyblade Armor]] during his travels, to protect himself from the darkness between worlds, but eventually he discarded it and sought to control the darkness, believing that if he succeeded, he would not need his armor for protection. Eventually, both Eraqus and Xehanort became [[Keyblade Master]]s, and Eraqus was chosen as the Master's successor; Xehanort was chosen to inherit the [[No Name]] Keyblade. The newly titled Master Xehanort was free to take on apprentices of his own to train, and he traveled the worlds freely. | |||

Xehanort came to believe that darkness and light were meant to be in balance, but the "tyranny" of light had destroyed much of the darkness and shifted that balance. He therefore resolved to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts, so that he may create a World in balance. To that end, he sought to recreate the legendary [[χ-blade]] and begin a new Keyblade War. By this time, however, Xehanort had grown very old, and he devised a plan to use [[No Name|his Keyblade]] to extract his own heart and transfer it to a younger body to prolong his life until his ambitions were fulfilled. At one point, Xehanort discussed his ideas about the Keyblade War with Eraqus, who attempted to dissuade him from risking a new apocalypse for the sake of gaining knowledge. When Eraqus tried to stop him by force, Xehanort used his power of darkness to easily fend him off, scarring his face in the process. | ||

Anticipating that Ventus and Vanitas's [[Ventus-Vanitas|union]] may fail to successfully create the χ-blade, Master Xehanort had arranged a number of back up plans: Braig, as [[Ansem the Wise]]'s trusted guard, took the role of advisor and comrade for Terra-Xehanort, who had lost his memories following his fight with Aqua. With Braig's guidance, the new Xehanort began conducting experiments into the nature of the heart and the darkness within, in the attempt to remove one's sense of self. The two recruited Ansem's other apprentices to assist in their research, which eventually led to the mass release of Heartless into the Realm of Light. Having banished Ansem the Wise to the [[Realm of Darkness]], the apprentices continue their experiments until they lost their hearts to darkness. Terra-Xehanort, recovering the use of his Keyblade, takes Braig's heart himself, then gives his own heart over to darkness, creating his Heartless, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, and his Nobody, Xemnas. | Anticipating that Ventus and Vanitas's [[Ventus-Vanitas|union]] may fail to successfully create the χ-blade, Master Xehanort had arranged a number of back up plans: Braig, as [[Ansem the Wise]]'s trusted guard, took the role of advisor and comrade for Terra-Xehanort, who had lost his memories following his fight with Aqua.

Ansem and Xemnas each carry out a part of Master Xehanort's plan: Ansem manipulates Maleficent into gathering [[Princesses of Heart|seven hearts of pure light]], while Xemnas and Braig's Nobody, [[Xigbar]], found Organization XIII, intending to turns its members into vessels for Master Xehanort's heart. However, anticipating that the Organization members would prove unsuitable as vessels, Ansem, lacking a body, travels back in time and approaches Xehanort in his youth. He grants him the ability to move forward in time and tasks him with gathering many incarnations of himself from throughout time. | Ansem and Xemnas each carry out a part of Master Xehanort's plan: Ansem manipulates Maleficent into gathering [[Princesses of Heart|seven hearts of pure light]], while Xemnas and Braig's Nobody, [[Xigbar]], found Organization XIII, intending to turns its members into vessels for Master Xehanort's heart.
