Template:InfoCharacter Braig was one of the six apprentices to Ansem the Wise, and the complete being of Xigbar. He is a confirmed character to appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
Story
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Braig debuts in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, as a boss for Terra. Utilizing dual Arrowguns and superb speed, he is responsible for the temporary capture of Master Xehanort. It should be noted that Braig's role is considerably larger than the other five apprentices' roles.
He is shown to have seemingly captured Master Xehanort and to be knowledgable about the Keyblade.
Dabbling In Darkness
About a decade prior to Kingdom Hearts, Braig was one of six apprentices to the ruler and scientist of Radiant Garden, alongside Xehanort, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo. Worried the Darkness in people's hearts would eventually consume his world, Ansem began performing tests on Xehanort's heart. Eventually, he created a laboratory in his castle's basement for such experimentation. However, Braig and the other apprentices had their own intentions for the laboratory, and began conducting inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it. Such experimentation led to the creation of Heartless. Ansem quickly discovered their secret experiments, and immediately ordered them to stop. One day, after being advised to review their research data by King Mickey, Ansem found that the effects of their experiments had become irreversible.
Eventually, Braig and the other five apprentices dabbled too deep into darkness through their continued experiments. Braig, along with the others, was consumed by the darkness, producing a Heartless. However, the apprentices all had strong wills, and so Braig also became his Nobody, Xigbar. The six Nobodies formed Organization XIII, and banished Ansem the Wise to the Realm of Nothingness.
Appearance
Braig appears wearing attire similar to Dilan and Aeleus, along with a red scarf tied around his neck that appears to be fraying at the corner. His jacket bears some resemblance to Xigbar's black cloak, sporting the same pointed shoulders. From what is visible, he doesn't have any of his Nobody's distinguishing facial scars and wears no eye-patch along with looking considerably younger. He does however, have golden eyes, the same color as his Nobody. His hair is black, lacking the gray his Nobody has, and it appears to be considerably shorter and slicked back. He also has rather tan skin. He wields twin crossbow-like guns, which would influence his choice of weapons as Xigbar in the Organization.
Trivia
- Like Xigbar, Braig is shown to have a telescopic view in battle. It can safely be assumed that Braig will utilize the same tactics against Terra that his Nobody does against Sora. It is unknown if this telescopic tactic will be changed with the English release of Birth by Sleep, as Xigbar's was for Kingdom Hearts II.
