Originally, the χ-blade was the counterpart of [[Kingdom Hearts]], for which it acted as protector. The [[Master of Masters]] studied the χ-blade and learned to extract Keyblades from people's hearts as a result.<ref>'''''{{w|Weekly Famitsu}}'''''<!--If anyone knows which volume issue this is, please add it-->, pg. 198; '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "The Master knows about its existence. Using the χ-blade as a model, he creates his own Keyblades. Well, by create I don't mean that in the physical sense, such as forging and tempering them, I mean more along the lines of pulling one out from the depths of a heart."

During the Master's youth, the χ-blade was shattered into twenty pieces due to the [[Keyblade War]]; thirteen of darkness and seven of light. The pieces all found hosts to hide in, with the thirteen {{c|Darkness|character}}es casting their bodies aside to gain power, and propagate by creating the [[Heartless]]. The seven lights hid in the hearts of maidens, creating the [[Princesses of Heart]]. | |||
Over the years, scholarly people like Xehanort mistakenly believed the χ-blade had been shattered in the war between the [[Union]]s; thinking they had been fighting over its power. When in truth, their competition over [[Lux]] had snowballed put of control; thanks to the Master manipulating the fears and egos of the [[Foreteller]]s. | |||
