When he grows into his youth, he becomes a [[Keyblade]] wielder alongside his older sister, Hoder, and the two begin training under Master Odin. At first, Baldr only feels safe with Hoder, due to the light he senses in her heart, but opens up to [[Eraqus]] and his other classmates when he senses the same thing in their hearts. This creates an insecurity about darkness in Baldr’s heart that makes way for the darkness to take root in it. | ||
Around the time of [[Xehanort]]’s arrival to the world, the upper classmen are sent on their [[Mark of Mastery]] to the [[Enchanted Dominion]]. Baldr grows anxious of Hoder’s safety and ventures out after her. Meanwhile, the darkness in Baldr’s heart sees this as an opportunity to gain power over Baldr by harming someone dear to him, Hoder. As Hoder engages in a battle with the evil fairy, Baldr rushes in to save her. He is there to witness his sister’s death, and then he is unable to recall what transpired when [[Heimdall]], [[Helgi]], and [[Sigrun]] died after he later wakes up in the infirmary. | Around the time of [[Xehanort]]’s arrival to the world, the upper classmen are sent on their [[Mark of Mastery]] to the [[Enchanted Dominion]].

Following this tragedy, Baldr is confined to the infirmary, requiring time to heal from his grief. Master Odin disguises this from the others, claiming his absence is caused by a special assignment. Instead of healing, this isolation causes his negative emotions to grow and fester, the darkness in his heart becoming more powerful. | Following this tragedy, Baldr is confined to the infirmary, requiring time to heal from his grief.

Vidar, unable to bring himself to end Baldr, seeks out Kingdom Hearts to purge the darkness, just as planned. However, Vidar eventually realizes the potential consequences of this plan, and stops pursuing Kingdom Hearts. | ||
Xehanort and his peers continue to investigate the missing upperclassmen, learning about true darkness and the threat it poses. Odin deems them too young to handle the situation. Suddenly, Baldr returns to his classmates, offering them the opportunity to find answers by exploring the [[Underworld]]. There, while Xehanort and Eraqus speak to the spirits of the felled upperclassmen, Baldr confronts Bragi. However, Bragi is mysteriously strong; instead of fighting, Bragi chooses to disappear, leaving everyone to believe that he was killed by Baldr. All the while, Xehanort grows suspicious of Baldr, catching on to the darkness lingering inside him. | Xehanort and his peers continue to investigate the missing upperclassmen, learning about true darkness and the threat it poses.
