:Let's not forget that, when Terra-Xehanort gave up his heart, it was a time PRE-emblem Heartless, or at least before they were more "Varifying", so once he become a heartless, it was or could have looked like Master Xehanort, but without the emblme heartless, and when he casted his heart towards the past, it's became like a dark-silhoutte like being barely in the shape of MX, so until he could find a body to grow, he just need the robe to at least keep it's appearance straight. {{User:LuisArturo/sig}}02:13, October 03, 2023 (UTC)

:He gives this title officially when possessing Riku. He also has this name as his Report name, so our only choices are either Ansem (Heartless) or Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. Brown Robed Figure is just an alias, it's like Unknown for Young Xehanort, however we know he's Ansem, and Xehanort's Heartless is an extremely generic title and is a simple name. I'd understand if it were our only choice but it isn't. So we use what's best to keep them different from others, it is also the reason why Xemnas is not "Xehanort's Nobody" and Roxas is not "Sora's Nobody" either. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 09:40, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

::There's also the fact that "Nomura always calls him Brown Robed Figure or Xehanort's Heartless" is an outright ''lie''. Nearly all of the Ultimania dialogues and interviews, and even the latest games, call him Ansem. Honestly, until I see the original text of the latest KH3D interview, I'm not likely to believe Nomura even said it there, given how often the community's fan-translators like to make up their own names for things and stick them in as if that's what Nomura actually said. As for Xehanort's Heartless, that's a descriptor of what he ''is'', not how he refers to himself.
::Also also, a name ''is'' your alias. This series isn't even Merlin, or something, where everybody has "one true name that is fundamentally wired into their being". Your name is whatever you call yourself.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 13:21, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Isnt there any way to get an image of Ansem in a black coat? as this is Ansem's current apperance in DDD.--[[Special:Contributions/124.169.221.213|124.169.221.213]] 13:15, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
:From what I've heard and seen there are no new renders for already introduced persons except Sora, Riku, Lea and Ienzo. He got two new boss renders though, but they are all without the cloak. So we'll need a good screenshot for that one. --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] 13:50, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
::Wait, there's an Ienzo render? [[User:Maggosh|mag]][[User talk:Maggosh|gosh]] 13:53, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
:There is a [[:File:Riku-Ansem KHII.png|render of Riku-Ansem]] that we can use until we have an official render comes out--[[User:Xabryn|Xabryn]] 14:02, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
::But Riku-Ansem looks a bit different than Ansem, his figure is broader and his eyes are smaller. Also yes, there is a new Ienzo render where he's wearing that white lab coat but this time it fits;-) Maybe I get the render today, I don't know. --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] 14:14, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

::::Though Riku-Ansem looks diffrent, we should use his render until an official one comes since it is the most similar.--[[Special:Contributions/124.169.160.70|124.169.160.70]] 01:37, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

== DDD profile ==
Ansem has also got another profile as "Robed Figure", but dunno if/where to put it:<br>
''A mysterious man whose identity is masked by a brown robe.<br>Sora encountered him in the Destiny Islands right before his first journey began. Riku has seen him as well, though neither of them ever found out for certain who he was.<br>

==Cleanup?==
The template thingy says the captions need to be revised, but I don't see anything wrong with them...If the answer is super obvious, then sorry. I'm new here. [[User:ZeypherMage7|ZeypherMage7]] ([[User talk:ZeypherMage7|talk]]) 03:59, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
:Feel free to ignore that for now, there's a bit of a caption war going on at the moment... or at least, there was recently. Once it's settled and we've decided upon an official format for captions, we'll make sure all pages meet those standards. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 04:09, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Right. Thanks for the info. [[User:ZeypherMage7|ZeypherMage7]] ([[User talk:ZeypherMage7|talk]]) 09:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
== I'm confused ==
the two Ansem pages-Seeker of darkness and "the wise"-both say that said Ansem is the one who gave Riku control over his dark mode. Could someone tell me which page is right and fix the one that's wrong? [[Special:Contributions/97.81.35.41|97.81.35.41]] 21:54, 19 March 2013 (UTC) Rex Ronald Rilander
::The Seeker of Darkness is the one who gave Riku his Dark Mode. However, the "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness" who gives Riku this ability is Ansem the Wise (DiZ) in disguise, and not the true Ansem who possessed Riku in the past. Both pages are accurate. - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 22:03, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Point taken, but it's not exactly clearly stated. And thanks for telling me. [[Special:Contributions/97.81.35.41|97.81.35.41]] 22:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC) Rex Ronald Rilander
== name...? ==
Why would Xehanort's Heartless still be called "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness" when there are eleven or twelve other seekers of darkness soon to be revealed? And since he stole the name "Ansem," shouldn't his real identity be known as "Xehanort's Heartless?" just wondering :)
:Well, if he stole the name "Ansem" then his identity is now "Ansem", as that is the name he rightfully stole. We'll get more information concerting the other seekers of darkness as it becomes available to us! For now, please post questions like this in the forums instead. Thanks! {{User:Coldasfire/sig3}}!02:58, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
== Robed Figure ==
Considering that we have a separate pages for Riku and Riku-Ansem shoudn't we make a separate pages for Robed Figure and Ansem SoD? - [[User:JTD95|JTD95]] ([[User talk:JTD95|talk]]) 13:34, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
:I'd be happy to try and do so but I don't think I have the authority to do it, nor do I really have much backing to do so yet either. - [[User:JTD95|JTD95]] ([[User talk:JTD95|talk]]) 13:26, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

:::I agree with splitting them. --[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 17:33, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
::::Would it be okay to proceed with the split then? --[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 18:40, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
::::Riku (Ansem) would also need to be split, since that incarnation is more a fusion (as it has both Ansem and Riku's hearts, speaks in both of their voices, is not considered a Heartless etc) while "Ansem" is just Xehanort's Heartless with a body. --[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 21:55, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
:::::I'm cool with the split, but I think a mod needs to weigh in on a change of this magnitude.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:14, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
::::::Could some of the mods and/or admins either give their yays or nays regarding this split? :) - {{User:JTD95/Signature}} 19:04, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
:::::::I am some years late to this discussion however I don't think the page needs to be split. As far as I'm aware the reason that Riku and Riku-Ansem are separate pages is because the latter is a fusion of two different characters, same deal with Ventus-Vanitas/Terra-Xehanort etc. However since the Robed Figure is just Ansem SoD without a physical body, it doesn't really follow the same logic, so I think the bodyless Ansem information can stay on this page. That being said if there's more to it than what I've said you definitely have the authority to split now, either way I'd just like the split request resolved. [[User:Pureautism|Pureautism]] ([[User talk:Pureautism|talk]]) 16:36, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
::::::::I agree there's no need for a split. It was argued somewhere some time ago that the wiki created separate articles for characters when they were fundamentally different in composition. Robed Ansem classifies as such and KH3D's journal entries seem to even regard him as a completely different form of Ansem (Melody of Memory seem to also indicate this by having Master Xehanort transition into Xemnas, Ansem, Robed Ansem, and then Terra-Xehanort). I wanted consistency back then but I feel now that going through with such a split would be quite unnecessary and ultimately just a bit messy and confusing. - {{User:JTD95/Signature}} 23:27, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
:::::::::I figure KH3D's journal entry separates them because as it mentions Sora and Riku don't know the Robed Figure's identity as Ansem, basically the same thing as "Unknown" or "Mysterious Figure" for Xemnas/Young Xehanort. I checked the KH3D Ultimania's character guide section and I don't see any Robed Figure mention in Ansem's section or otherwise, so I think it doesn't really mean anything. Regardless since this seems cleared up, I'll remove the split template on the page. [[User:Pureautism|Pureautism]] ([[User talk:Pureautism|talk]]) 05:42, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
