Ten years ago, the founding members of the Organization live in [[Radiant Garden]] as humans. [[Ventus]] encounters [[Dilan]], [[Even]], [[Aeleus]], and [[Ienzo]], who work in [[Ansem the Wise]]'s castle, as his guards and apprentices. He also meets [[Isa]] and [[Lea]], two youths who have an interest in the castle. | |||
[[Braig]] serves as a co-conspirator in [[Master Xehanort]]'s ruthless ambitions, acquiring his signature scars and eyepatch following a battle against Terra. He appears at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] to assist Xehanort, occupying [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]]'s attention. By this time, Braig houses a piece of Xehanort's heart inside himself. | [[Braig]] serves as a co-conspirator in [[Master Xehanort]]'s ruthless ambitions, acquiring his signature scars and eyepatch following a battle against Terra.

The neophytes, [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]], try to take control of the Organization by using [[Sora]] as their puppet by manipulating his memories with [[Naminé]]'s magic. The senior members assigned to [[Castle Oblivion]], [[Vexen]], [[Lexaeus]], and [[Zexion]], try to counter his plot by exploiting the powerful darkness that lays within Riku's heart. However, each group ends up being slain by heroes they sought to control, leaving [[Axel]] as the only survivor of the castle. | The neophytes, [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]], try to take control of the Organization by using [[Sora]] as their puppet by manipulating his memories with [[Naminé]]'s magic.

Only eight members ([[Xemnas]], [[Axel]], [[Demyx]], [[Xaldin]], [[Xigbar]], [[Luxord]], [[Saïx]], and [[Roxas]]) of the Organization remained by the time Sora reawakens. Sora and his friends end up taking every single remaining member down, save Roxas, who became one with Sora, and Axel, who sacrificed himself so that Sora and his friends could save Kairi. In the end, Organization XIII is ultimately destroyed when Sora and Riku defeat Xemnas. | Only eight members ([[Xemnas]], [[Axel]], [[Demyx]], [[Xaldin]], [[Xigbar]], [[Luxord]], [[Saïx]], and [[Roxas]]) of the Organization remained by the time Sora reawakens.

Following the Organization's defeat, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, and Lea are revived and returned to Radiant Garden. Though well aware of their past status as Nobodies and subsequent defeats by Sora and Riku, the revived apprentices appear indifferent and content with resuming their ordinary lives rather than seeking revenge. Lea searches the grounds of Radiant Garden for Braig and Isa, but they are nowhere to be found, prompting Lea to venture to other worlds to track them down. | Following the Organization's defeat, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, and Lea are revived and returned to Radiant Garden.

In the naming ritual, the name of the [[Nobody]]'s "other" appears before them in translucent, iridescent light, then an "X" drops down and the letters re-arrange themselves until they form a new name. | In the naming ritual, the name of the [[Nobody]]'s "other" appears before them in translucent, iridescent light, then an "X" drops down and the letters re-arrange themselves until they form a new name. | ||
[[File:Mysterious Figure KHFM.png|right|thumb| | [[File:Mysterious Figure KHFM.png|right|thumb|150px|The black coat of the Organization XIII.]] | ||
After being renamed, each member is given a uniform and a rank from I to XIII. The rank is based on seniority, and although the leader of the Organization, Xemnas, is also the rank I member, the ranks are not true measures of authority within the Organization. For example, the rank IV Vexen, a founding member of the Organization, is subordinate to the rank XI Marluxia, while the rank VII Saïx acts as Xemnas's second-in-command, right before the rank II Xigbar. Their uniform, a [[Black Coat|hooded black coat]], was chosen because it was something once worn by [[Master Xehanort]], Xemnas's primary original persona, to safeguard him from the darkness between worlds while not cutting him off from it.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''' "...the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories as a human... The coat used by the Organization was something that Master Xehanort originally wore."</ref> It is plainly adorned with a silver zipper and seemingly decorative silver beaded pull strings for the hood that form a semi-circle in the middle. Each member wears their zippers at differing points. Underneath their coats, most of the members wear {{w|hakama}}-esque black pants and knee high silver trimmed boots, with the exceptions of Roxas, who wears sneakers of the same color, and Larxene and Xion, who wear a more feminized version of the boots with heels. In addition to this, they all wear lengthy black gloves. The exact contours of the coats vary from person to person. | After being renamed, each member is given a uniform and a rank from I to XIII.
