The members of the real Organization XIII.

The real Organization XIII (真のXIII機関 Shin no Jūsan Kikan?), also known as the thirteen seekers of darkness (13人の闇の探求者 Jūsannin no Yami no Tankyūsha?) or simply Organization XIII or the Organization, is a group consisting of thirteen different incarnations of Master Xehanort who seek to reforge the χ-blade and unlock the original Kingdom Hearts to remake the world. They serve as the final antagonists of the Dark Seeker Saga.

The true purpose of the original Organization XIII led by Xemnas was for each of the Nobody members to host a fragment of Master Xehanort's heart, turning them into clones of Xehanort, but the members' unforeseen independence made this goal impossible to realize. However, in anticipation of this failure, Master Xehanort had arranged to send Ansem, Seeker of Darkness back in time to his youth, to meet Young Xehanort and become a portal[?], travelling to different periods of time and gathering different incarnations of Xehanort who would be added to the ranks of a new Organization.

Due to the time travelling nature of many of the hearts comprising the Organization, future members first appeared in Kingdom Hearts with at least one making an appearance in every game since. As a group, it was first alluded to by Yen Sid in Signs of What's Next when he claims that one Keyblade Master will not be enough to counter what is "not a single one of Xehanort", before making its official introduction in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

Unlike the original Organization XIII, the real Organization XIII is not composed exclusively of Nobodies; some of the members are complete people, while others are time travelling hearts hosted within Replica bodies. Despite full knowledge of the purpose of this new Organization, many members use it as a means to fulfil their own independent goals, rather than out of loyalty to Xehanort.

Story

Before Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

 
Xehanort meets Ansem, his Heartless from the future.

Young Xehanort is visited by his future self's Heartless Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and told of the great plans Master Xehanort has in store. Given his task, but limited by the rules of time travel, Xehanort leaves his body behind and journeys into the future to make contact with the right hearts needed for the backup Organization.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Unable to physically interact with the world without a body to reside in, Young Xehanort acquires one in the form of Even's newly created Replicas and begins his mission. He first recruits Vanitas, whose heart is incomplete, and Terra-Xehanort. The hearts of both are sent eleven years into the future where Vanitas is given his own Replica body to inhabit, supported by negative emotion acquired by the Unversed, and Terra-Xehanort's heart makes Terra's recompleted body his vessel.

Kingdom Hearts

During the brief time Ansem has taken Riku's body as his vessel, Young Xehanort recruits him into the new Organization. His heart is sent one year into the future, where it inhabits a Replica.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories

During Sora's journey through Castle Oblivion the brainwashed Riku Replica, believing himself to be the real Riku, is recruited by Young Xehanort. His newly born heart is placed in another Replica body one year in the future and serves the Organization as Dark Riku. During this time Vexen is eradicated by Axel, but fails to awaken as the recompleted human Even due to the extreme nature of his demise.

After their respective defeats at the hands of Sora, the recompleted Elrena and Lauriam accept Young Xehanort's offer to return to being Nobodies, and are each made host to part of Xehanort's heart as Larxene and Marluxia once again.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Early in the life of the unique Replica Xion, before any real personality had taken shape, Young Xehanort recruits her into the Organization. Her heart is sent through time one year to the future where it is placed in another Replica body.

Kingdom Hearts II

After their defeat, Demyx and Luxord are recompleted as humans. Accepting Young Xehanort's offer, they return to being Nobodies and rejoin the Organization. At some point prior to his final defeat and recompletion as Master Xehanort, Xemnas's heart is brought forward in time to serve the Organization within a new Replica body.

Kingdom Hearts coded

 
Braig asks Young Xehanort which of the former Organization XIII members will become Master Xehanort's next vessel.

With the demise of Ansem and Xemnas, the original Master Xehanort is recompleted and assumes leadership of the newly formed Organization. The body of Terra is also recompleted, but his heart remains bound within Xehanort's guardian. Young Xehanort still makes use of this situation, however, by bringing Terra-Xehanort's heart from eleven years in the past to continue using the present-day Terra as a vessel.

Young Xehanort visits Radiant Garden where he recruits the recompleted Braig and Isa, returning them to their Nobodies Xigbar and Saïx and making each host to part of Xehanort's heart.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

 
The real Organization XIII gathers together for the first time.

Young Xehanort succeeds in filling twelve of the Organization's seats. Vexen and Demyx are not considered suitable for the final roster, leaving the Organization one member short. Xehanort attempts to make Sora into the final vessel, but when Sora is rescued by Riku, Mickey, and company, the Organization disperses to their proper times, while Master Xehanort remains confident that in time he will complete his Organization.
