 ==Personality==
-Xigbar has a laid-back and cocky attitude, and he likes to taunt Sora to throw him off-guard, though with limited success. When not on missions, he occasionally enjoys eavesdropping on his fellow Organization members. He relies heavily on instinct rather than on intelligence for both decision-making and fighting, making him adaptable and unpredictable in battle. He also has a habit of saying, "As if." In the English version of the series, Xigbar speaks with a California Surfer accent, possibly to emphasize his laid-back nature.
+Xigbar has a laid-back and cocky attitude and likes to taunt his opponents. When not on missions, he occasionally enjoys eavesdropping on his fellow Organization members. He relies heavily on instinct rather than on intelligence for both decision-making and fighting, making him adaptable and unpredictable in battle. In the English version of the series, Xigbar speaks with a stereotypical surfer accent, emphasizing his extremely casual attitude, and habitually uses the phrase "As if."
-Along with Axel and Demyx, Xigbar acts as the Organization's comic relief due to his frequent sarcasm and wise cracks. Xigbar is probably the most wise-cracking of them all, as unlike Axel, who knows when to be serious (Demyx having his comic relief due to his klutzy persona, along with his laziness), Xigbar never breaks character and even continues to make sarcastic comments while in battle. He also uses nicknames for the other members on occasions, calling Roxas "kiddo" or "tiger" in the Grey Area and on various missions, calling Xion "Poppet" in the Grey Area, and once calling Axel "Flamesilocks" near the end of ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', when he talks to Roxas about the outcome of the "Ven incident".
+Xigbar is one of the more comical members of the Organization, alongside Axel and Demyx, due to his fondness for wisecracks and sarcasm. He is rarely serious and even makes sarcastic quips during battle. Like Demyx, Xigbar has given several members of Organization XIII nicknames, calling Roxas "kiddo" or "tiger" in the Grey Area and on various missions, calling Xion "Poppet" in the Grey Area, and once calling Axel "Flamesilocks".
-Xigbar is also shown to be very uncaring about the other members of the Organization, save for Xion. For example, he tells Roxas that what had happened to the members stationed at Castle Oblivion did not bother him, and he even stated that he is glad the castle is quieter. In the Organization's final meeting, Xigbar somewhat jokingly remarks, "Seems like we're getting a lot more free seats."
+Xigbar is generally seems to care very little for his fellow Organization members. For example, he tells Roxas that what had happened to the members stationed at Castle Oblivion did not bother him, despite the fact that he had personally recruited Marluxia. He even states that he is glad the castle is quieter. In the Organization's final meeting, Xigbar somewhat jokingly remarks that there were more free seats. Xigbar does show some degree of empathy on occasion, especially towards Xion when she failed to defeat the Organization's "[[Riku|impostor]]".
-Despite his high rank, Xigbar is not given high authority like Saïx or Marluxia, but he instead is sent on missions and confrontations with Sora. Considering his personality, it could possibly be that Xigbar simply prefers field work over a more administrative position. However, ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' seems to contradict this, as Xigbar attends a meeting at which the only other members attending are Xemnas and Saïx (the Organization's leader and second-in-command). Xigbar also has a tendency to spy on other members of the Organization—he spies on Xemnas going to the Chamber of Repose in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', and he spies on Axel and Xion discussing Roxas in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. Due to his high rank and spying, Xigbar knows a great deal of the Organization's secrets. If one listens carefully, he has a habit of hinting at some of the Organization's secrets, but most are too vague to understand at first. Xigbar is noted by Roxas as being difficult to trick. He seems to be the type of guy who will find out about a secret that interests him, one way or another.
+Despite his high rank, Xigbar is not given high authority like Saïx or Marluxia, but he instead is sent on missions and confrontations with Sora. He does, however, maintain a position of importance in the Organization due to his past with Xehanort, and is privy to information about the Organization's leader that few others know. Xigbar has a habit of divulging relatively important information to his enemies through his taunts, though he is typically vague enough that they do not understand his meeting; for example, his numerous comments to Sora about Ventus and Roxas. He is described by Roxas as being difficult to trick. Xigbar does not seem to be intimidated by Xemnas as some other Organization members are, going so far as to spy on him in the Chamber of Repose. Xigbar considers Roxas to be a traitor, like the rest of the Organization.
-Along with the rest of the Organization, Xigbar considers Roxas to be a traitor. He seems to support this view more than any other Organization member, as he's the only one who states it in his battle quotes. In fact, when the battle begins, he remarks, "You really shouldn't have betrayed us!" However, this could simply be in keeping with his mocking personality, as he seemed to be taunting Sora for his ignorance of Roxas.
+Unlike the other Organization members, Xigbar does not express fear or remorse while fading into darkness, instead chuckling rather triumphantly and giving Sora a cocky reply to the final question Sora asks him. Given his general knowledge of Xehanort's plans and his subsequent return, Xigbar may have known beforehand that he would be restored.
-Unlike the other Organization members, Xigbar does not express fear or remorse while fading into darkness, instead chuckling rather triumphantly and giving Sora a cocky reply to the final question Sora asks him. Given his subsequent return, it is possible that he knew beforehand that his destruction was only temporary.
-Interestingly, Xigbar shows some signs of empathy, especially towards Xion when she fails to defeat the Organization's "[[Riku|impostor]]".
