'''Braig'''<ref>Braig's name is misspelled as "Bleig" in [[Secret Ansem's Report 3]] within the North American version of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', but was corrected to "Braig" in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix|Final Mix]] version.</ref> is one of [[Ansem the Wise]]'s apprentices, and the human form of [[Xigbar]]. However, he is secretly the vessel of the ancient [[Keyblade Master]] [[Luxu]].

He serves as the tertiary antagonist of ''[[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, aid in his plans in order to continue to observe the future.<ref>'''''[[Secret Report 13]]'''''</ref> To this end, Luxu stuck around [[Scala ad Caelum]], {{Storylink|Kingdom Hearts Missing Link}} to keep an eye on potential candidates. This lead to him taking on the identity of [[Bragi]], an apprentice of [[Odin]].

 

After faking his death as Bragi, Luxu spent years watching over [[Xehanort]]'s actions after guaging his beliefs{{Storylink|Kingdom Hearts Dark Road}}, unaware [[Master of Masters|the Master]] would later push Xehanort onto the path.

 

63 years later,{{Storylink|Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind|Re:Mind}} Luxu had already taken his next vessel under the name Braig, and gotten employed by [[Ansem the Wise]] in [[Radiant Garden]] as an apprentice and guard. At this point, he had confirmed Xehanort was the prophecies one and planned to take action to accelerate the task.<ref>'''''[[Secret Report 13]]'''''</ref>{{spoilerend}}

Braig engineered a "chance" encounter with Xehanort<ref>'''''[[Secret Report 13]]''''', '''Unknown:''' "Until now, I have watched over the course of events from a distance. Perhaps the time has come to intervene. I need only play the role of a fool desirous of the Keyblade's power. I will don the mask of his ally in order to keep watch over my Keyblade from close by."</ref>, 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]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''''', '''Xigbar:''' "The old coot promised to [[Bequeathing|bequeath]] me his. Why else do you think I'd put up with all his nonsense?"</ref> As part of their bargain, Braig pretended to take Xehanort captive in order to cultivate [[Terra]]'s [[darkness]].

Braig later approaches the new Xehanort, now an apprentice under Ansem, and is dismayed to find that the new Xehanort does not recognize him, and Braig's attempts to help Xehanort remember to serve only to annoy him. At one point, Braig questions if this new Xehanort is actually Terra, but Xehanort still does not respond, much to Braig's relief. Nevertheless, Braig promises to look out for Xehanort; planning to get his memory back, so the prophecy can unfold
