Aced is given a [[Keyblade]] forged from his own [[heart]] by the Master of Masters, who takes Aced, [[Ava]], [[Gula]], [[Invi]], [[Ira]], and [[Luxu]] as his apprentices. Aced eventually achieves the rank of [[Keyblade Master]] alongside his fellow apprentices.{{fact}}<!--Source?-->

Without warning, the Master disappears from the world, and although the Foretellers actively seek him out, they are unable to locate him. Upholding the Master's teachings, Aced and the other Foretellers begin recruiting Keyblade wielders to each of their Unions, utilizing the powers of their copies of the Book of Prophecies in the form of [[Medal (KHUχ)|Medals]] to aid their wielders in collecting [[Lux]] to maintain the balance of power.

|Having watched {{c|Player|KHχ}} defeat countless [[Heartless]] throughout [[Daybreak Town]], Aced commends them on their abilities. Aced suggests that Player should fight alongside the other Ursus Union members and then leaves them to defeat a [[Darkside]]. Once the Darkside is defeated, Aced reappears and warns Player warns Player that there are others who collect light for nefarious purposes. He allows Player to discern who walks the path of darkness before he departs.

|When Neoshadows appear in Daybreak Town, Player joins three other Keyblade wielders in their efforts to quash the darkness being spread by the new species of Heartless; however, Player is the only survivor. After Chirithy witnesses another of its kind fade, Aced appears to speak with Player, revealing that while the Keyblade wielders are gathering Lux at an amazing rate, the darkness is spreading even faster. Chirithy asks if that means that there really is a traitor among them, to which Aced states that he is not willing to believe that yet.

One night, Player is shown a dream by Chirithy, in which Aced and the other Foretellers meet with the Master in the Foretellers' Chamber, though Nightmare Chirithy quickly puts a stop to this dream.

|After Player successfully completes the [[Dark Corridor Trials]], Chirithy reports back to Aced, who is pleased to hear of their progress, but Chirithy questions the wisdom of assigning such a dangerous mission. Aced laments that he has no choice but to hasten Player's training, as he must strengthen their resistance to darkness as quickly as possible and obtain as many warriors as they can get on the side of light.

A year later, an enraged Aced attacks Invi in Daybreak Town for her interference. Despite Invi's attempts to reason with Aced, Aced remains adamant that they need to defy the Master's teachings to protect the world and create alliances against the looming darkness. Invi deems Aced to be the traitor and attacks him with [[Invi's Keyblade|her Keyblade]]. When Ava and Gula arrive at the scene and join Invi in her fight against him, Aced launches himself into a vicious battle with his former comrades, from which he barely emerges alive.

|When Player, Chirithy, and Skuld enter the Foretellers' Chamber in search of Ephemer, they are caught by Aced. Aced divulges he caught Ephemer in the Foretellers' Chamber several days before and that Ephemer's Union collects Lux for a reason conflicting with that of the Player's Union. He accuses Ephemer of having befriended the Player solely to acquire information, and states that he eliminated Ephemer for this suspicion. Although Chirithy assures Aced that will not retaliate against him, Player decides to avenge Ephemer, but Aced emerges as the victor. As Player is cast to the ground, the façade of the Foretellers' Chamber fades away and the group find themselves in the sewers with Ava, who explains that she disguised herself as Aced in order to test Player and Skuld.

Hearing an argument between Player, [[Skuld]], and several Keyblade wielders from different Unions in which one claims that the Keyblade War is already upon them, Aced affirms this as the truth. Aced lectures the wielders of the importance of unity within their Unions and that the strength of a Union is determined by its righteousness which is proven through battle. When Skuld begins to object, Aced notes that she is part of Ava's Dandelions and points out that what Ava is doing with the Dandelions is also a display of power. Player steps forward to challenge Aced, who then easily defeats them and disqualifies them as a Keyblade wielder. Upon Ira's arrival to the scene, he rebukes Aced for raising his Keyblade against another wielder. Despite Aced's attempts to defend himself, Ira tells Aced that his bloodlust that drew him to their location. Aced argues that the Keyblade War is not unavoidable, and that the other Foretellers, including Ira, are becoming desperate to collect more Lux, and blames Ira and other Foretellers for intensifying the situation. Aced reveals he will unify all of the Unions and appoints himself as leader once he banished Ira and the other Foretellers. Ira dismisses his foolish plot and warns Aced that his arrogance will lead to his downfall. Aced states that he will be waiting at the place of the final battle before he departs.

==Appearance==

Aced is a muscular young man who hides his face under a dark grey bear mask. His tan, hooded cloak covers a robe, shirt, and sash that are all light brown in coloration and have black embroidering. Gold tassels appear on the front of Aced's cloak.

Aced is an honest and fearless individual with a strong sense of justice. Prior to the Keyblade War, Aced wanted to take over for the Master of Masters someday and expresses great disappointment when he is not elected to lead the Foretellers in favor of Ira. However, it is because of his straightforward nature that the Master assigned Aced to be Ira's right-hand man and directs him to guide Ira on the right path, a role he gladly accepted at the time.

Aced possesses an unforgiving nature, declaring that he will never forgive Gula standing by while the Foretellers fought amongst themselves while withholding knowledge of the traitor and attacking him when Gula assumed that he was the traitor. When he learns that Invi persuaded Gula to dissolve their alliance, Aced vows that she would pay for her interference and assaults her a year later as payback.  

Aced is gifted in spatial magic, creating rifts in the air that can suck in enemies.
