[[Master Xehanort]] is a Keyblade Master that devoted himself to the darkness, wishing to obtain the [[χ-blade]] and thus enter [[Kingdom Hearts]]. To this end, he contrived numerous plots and manipulated many people into becoming pawns of his device. Eventually, he used his Keyblade to transfer his heart into [[Terra]]'s body, becoming the [[Terra-Xehanort|present Xehanort]] and his [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|other]] [[Xemnas|incarnations]]. Master Xehanort is, in one form or another, behind nearly everything that has happened in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series so far.

His Heartless, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], and his time-traveling younger incarnation, [[Young Xehanort]], were unable to wield a Keyblade themselves; however, each incarnation found a way around this setback. Ansem possessed the body of the nascent Keyblade wielder [[Riku]], allowing him to wield the [[Keyblade of heart]], while the reincarnated Master Xehanort possessed Young Xehanort's body when it was under attack by [[Mickey]] and [[Riku]], allowing him to attempt to repel the duo using the Master's own Keyblade. Being the Nobody of this Keyblade Master, [[Xemnas]] may have also been able to wield a Keyblade, but preferred not to.<ref>[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Roxas, the "Sora + Ventus" Nobody, was able to use a Keyblade.

His time-traveling younger incarnation, [[Young Xehanort]] was initially unable to wield a Keyblade in ''Dream Drop Distance'', though when the reincarnated Master Xehanort possessed Young Xehanort's body when it was under attack by [[Mickey]] and [[Riku]] he was able to do so, and by the time he appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' he could wield a Keyblade without aid.

While possessing his younger self's body, Master Xehanort uses a Keychain that gives his Keyblade a shape resembling a fusion of its normal form and the [[No Name (KHBbS)|No Name Keychain]] obtained by Terra, Ventus, and Aqua.

After Master Xehanort possesses Terra's body and becomes [[Terra-Xehanort]], he retains the ability to summon his original incarnation's Keyblade, though he wields it like Terra would. Terra-Xehanort used his original incarnation's  Keyblade to fight the Lingering Will and Aqua. After being defeated, Terra's heart begins to fight back, causing Xehanort to stab himself in order to rid himself of Terra, but accidentally sealing his memories and thus his ability to wield a Keyblade, ultimately forgetting everything but the name "Xehanort".

Terra-Xehanort's Nobody [[Xemnas]] was never shown utilizing a Keyblade, however he may have been capable of doing so and simply chose not to, he did at one point utilize Xehanort's Keyblade Armor.{{fact}}
His Heartless, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] was unable to wield a Keyblade himself ordinarily, though when he possessed the body of the nascent Keyblade wielder [[Riku]], he briefly wielded the [[Keyblade of heart]].
