==Story==

===Before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

Having been instructed by his master to transfer his heart from one vessel to the next until the fated "Dark Master" appeared to reenact the Keyblade War, Luxu's final role was to become an ally of this individual, Master Xehanort, and aid in his plans in order to continue to observe the future. Luxu decides to pose as a braggart seeking the Keyblade, and chooses Braig as his final vessel.{{?}}

{{Q|That thing right there. It's called the Keyblade, isn't it? Yep, it seems like these days everybody's got one of those...even grandpa there. When I nabbed him, he told me all about it—what a weapon like that can do. How could I not want one?|Braig to Terra}}

As Braig, he served as an apprentice to [[Ansem the Wise]], the king of [[Radiant Garden]]. He engineered a "chance" encounter with Xehanort{{?}}, in which the Keyblade Master agreed to make Braig a Keyblade wielder in exchange for assisting in his plans to create the [[χ-blade]], and later serving as one of Xehanort's thirteen [[Seekers of Darkness]]. As part of their bargain, Braig pretended to take Xehanort captive in order to cultivate [[Terra]]'s darkness.

[[File:A Shady Character 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Braig explains Master Xehanort's capture to Terra.]]

Braig locates Terra after he separates from Aqua and Ventus, and leads the skeptical Terra toward the Purification Factory to show him Master Xehanort chained up, much to Terra's horror. Braig then engages Terra in a duel under the pretense of trying to take the boy's [[Keyblade]]. Terra is initially reluctant to fight back out of fear of succumbing to the darkness, but Xehanort goads him on by insinuating that Terra is shaming himself. Conceding to Xehanort's provocations, Terra fights back, in the process drawing on his darkness and scarring Braig. After Terra leaves, the bandaged Braig furiously attempts to gun down Xehanort for setting him up as "collateral damage", but Master Xehanort threatens him into backing down. Sometime later, Xehanort infuses a piece of his heart into Braig's.

Braig later appears in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], his body having adopted Master Xehanort's yellow eyes and pointed ears; his hair has also ~~greyed~~ somewhat, and he now has a patch over his eye. He appears in front of [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]], who taunts them and attempts to turn them against Terra by bringing up [[Eraqus]]'s demise. After mocking the angry glare Ventus gives him, Braig is challenged by Aqua and defeated. Since he only needed to buy time for [[Vanitas]] to arrive, Braig promptly flees to Radiant Garden.

===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===

After Ansem began performing tests on Xehanort's heart, Braig convinces the other apprentices to aid him and Xehanort in conducting inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it, in the attempt to remove one's sense of self, which would allow them to create vessels for Master Xehanort's heart.

[[File:My Name is Ansem 04 KH3D.png|thumb|left|After being stabbed by Xehanort, Braig falls to the ground and loses his heart.]]

Soon after, Braig, Xehanort, Dilan, Aeleus, and Even banished Ansem the Wise to the [[Realm of Darkness]], {{Storylink|Secret Ansem Reports}} telling [[Ienzo]] that Ansem had gone mad and abandoned them. {{storylink|Kingdom Hearts III}} They continue their experiments in the meantime until Even and Ienzo are overcome by darkness in Ansem's computer room.

Although his heart was removed and became a Heartless, Braig's strong will enabled his body to continue existing as the [[Nobody]] Xigbar. Under [[Xemnas]], Xehanort's Nobody, and Xigbar, the Nobodies of the six apprentices formed [[Organization XIII]].

{{Q|Hey, it's okay. This is all connected to the ancient Keyblade War, isn't that right? Whatever. I got my hands full with my own plans. So, which poor soul will it be?|Braig playing dumb to Young Xehanort}}

Following the destruction of Organization XIII and their Heartless counterparts, Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, Isa, and Lea are restored within [[Ansem's Study]]. Braig is awakened by a time-traveling [[~~Xehanort|~~Young Xehanort]] and realizes that he must become Xigbar again to continue Master Xehanort's plan.

When Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, and [[Lea]], awaken in Radiant Garden, Braig's and [[Isa]]'s absence causes them to think the two have not returned, which prompts Lea to venture out to search for them.

Later, Xigbar reveals Braig's pact with Xehanort to Sora, as well as the fact that he himself is "already half-Xehanort."
