An unknown, but large, amount of time later Ansem the Wise, the ruler of the [[Radiant Garden]], discovered the threat of the darkness. In order to combat it, he and his six apprentices, [[Xehanort]], [[Xigbar|Braig]], [[Xaldin|Dilan]], [[Vexen|Even]], [[Lexaeus|Aeleus]], and [[Zexion|Ienzo]], tried to find a way to prevent the darkness from consuming the world, performing many experiments on the human heart. However, Ansem the Wise began to see the immorality of what he was doing, and ceased his experiments. | An unknown, but large, amount of time later Ansem the Wise, the ruler of the [[Radiant Garden]], discovered the threat of the darkness.

They constructed a large factory that could reproduce the creation of Heartless, thus making Emblem Heartless. | But Xehanort and the others continued with their experiments, discovering the Heartless and their nature.

They are more common in places that are close to or saturated in darkness. Upon their destruction, they simply disappear in puffs of darkness. | ||
[[Emblem Heartless]], on the other hand, are created from machines that reproduce the process of a heart being consumed by darkness. They have more varied shapes, colors, and are branded with Xehanort's symbol to differentiate them from the Pureblood ones. They mostly appear in the many worlds that reside in the Realm of Light, unlike naturally-born Heartless. | [[Emblem Heartless]], on the other hand, are created from machines that reproduce the process of a heart being consumed by darkness.

Heartless, Emblem or Pureblood, possess several key characteristics that define them as Heartless. All Heartless are created when the darkness that resides in a person's heart consumes him or her, thus giving the darkness shape and form (this process occasionally forms [[Nobodies]], which are born from the body and soul left behind when the heart is lost). Being born from darkness, they are mindless and master-less, and their only goal is to find hearts, wishing to consume them and consequently create more Heartless. But what they desire above all are the hearts of worlds, and thus they enter worlds in search of the way into the hearts of the worlds. When they consume these colossal hearts, the remains of the world form new worlds, such as [[Traverse Town]] and the [[End of the World]]. | Heartless, Emblem or Pureblood, possess several key characteristics that define them as Heartless.

In order to stop the users of the Keyblades, the Heartless use the Keyblade itself as a homing beacon, but ultimately desire to take the heart that commands it. Because of this, Keyblade wielders are under constant attack. | ||

The darker the heart forming a Heartless, Emblem or Pureblood, the more powerful and more monstrous the resulting being will be. An exception to this is Xehanort's Heartless, who retained his human appearance for unknown reasons. This is a direct contrast to Nobodies, which determine rank according to the strength of the heart, and whose appearance becomes more human as they increase in power. | ||

However, there are some higher beings who can command them. Heartless will obey those with an affinity for darkness and a strong will. If many people attempt to control them, the Heartless will side with whomever is most powerful. Those with hearts, such as Maleficent, endanger themselves however, as the Heartless are attracted to their hearts. If they show weakness, the Heartless will not think twice of consuming their hearts. | ||
On the other hand, higher ranking Heartless, like Xehanort's Heartless, can fully command other Heartless without endangering themselves. Also, [[Organization XIII]] is able to command them as well with their strong wills, but are not endangered of being consumed by them for their lack of a heart. | On the other hand, higher ranking Heartless, like Xehanort's Heartless, can fully command other Heartless without endangering themselves.

Heartless, as they seek and consume hearts, also desire to return to the greatest heart, the heart of all worlds, [[Kingdom Hearts (combined heart)|Kingdom Hearts]], that resides deep within the Realm of Darkness. And because of this, Heartless seek immense darkness, enough to completely consume the Realm of Light. The entryway into this place of great power is the [[Door to Darkness]], the door that separates the realm of light and the realm of darkness. However, with the efforts of [[Sora]] and [[King Mickey|the King]], the door is closed, which causes the worlds lost to the darkness to be restored, and preventing a massive army of Heartless from pouring into the realm of light. | Heartless, as they seek and consume hearts, also desire to return to the greatest heart, the heart of all worlds, [[Kingdom Hearts (combined heart)|Kingdom Hearts]], that resides deep within the Realm of Darkness.

The forces of the Heartless were extremely weakened after the door to Kingdom Hearts was sealed off, though there were still many left. At the end of Kingdom Hearts II, it is unknown what exactly happened to the Heartless and if they still pose a threat. It should be noted though that Yen Sid has mentioned that the only true way to destroy all Heartless is to have all people have light filled in their hearts and no darkness, leaving nothing to create a Heartless or something for them to thrive for. | The forces of the Heartless were extremely weakened after the door to Kingdom Hearts was sealed off, though there were still many left.
