Also, it shouldnt matter wether or not Ansem stole the name, all the oranization members stole there names from there former human selves. the only difference between the two is that Org. XIII made their names into anagrams.

== Personality ==
This might sound stupid, but is Xehanort's Heartless the only heartless with human-level intelligence? Scar becomes a heartless and he seems as smart as the average human. Shouldn't it say the only heartless with above human level intelligence? ([[User:Bananaphone1996|Bananaphone1996]] 00:23, April 15, 2010 (UTC))

::Look around the Wiki. All we have/use is OFFICIAL images. This was obtained when someone animated a T-shaped mod of Ansem. Thus, it is a FAN IMAGE. - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 19:41, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
{{KrytenKoro|On one hand, the gamesprite is low quality, even though it's larger, but on the other, our guide image is kind of small.
Honestly, both seem "official" to me. As long as it isn't fake crap like the first Vanitas Keyblade image (where someone inserted their own speculation of the hilt) or the Fresh Breeze image (which was made wholecloth on a graphics editor, and had so many errors it was laughable), it should be fine. We use sprites ripped from the games all over the place.
Right now, though, I think our pic is fine. It's just large enough, and is the higher quality image. If we can get it bigger, that's daisies, but I don't think we need a betterpic template.}}

{{Disneyvillainman|text=But wait: Scar's heartless speaks and keeps his physical appearance and personality upon becoming a heartless as well.}}
:Scar's PHANTOM is not a heartless. Otherwise a Nobody would have been formed, and it would have been a major plot point. Scar died, Simba started doubting himself, and this doubt manifested itself as darkness in the form of Scar. [[User:Adam 148|Adam 148]] 19:45, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

== Renders and Artwork ==
Why is everyone insistent on using crappy, I repeat, '''''crappy''''' renders when his official artwork is the absolute best official image of him there ever will be? Every official render of Ansem sucks. In fact, I've yet to see a good render of anything on this site. They're all blurry and have tattered edges. What do the people of this website have against clean, 2D artwork? Or are they all just 3D-whores? [[User:Dachimotsu7734|Dachimotsu7734]] 02:04, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, whining and insulting is the way to get your point across... One reason I can give you is that official artwork is not always true to the appearance of the character in the game. Take [[Lea]] for example. Also, that his official artwork is the "absolute best official image of him" is entirely your opinion.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}02:11, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
::I apologize for the whore remark, but your response doesn't satisfy me. "Not always true to appearances" may be a good counter-argument for many characters, but not for Ansem. His appearance in-game is indentical to that of his artwork. The article has a header asking for a better image, so I gave it one. Opinion or no, I think everyone would agree that we'll never find a better picture for him than his artwork. [[User:Dachimotsu7734|Dachimotsu7734]] 02:24, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
Not necessarily. We could get a better render at a later date. I admit I don't know for certain, but I would imagine the reason we prefer to have renders as the main images for all the characters is for consistency. It's jarring to have 90% of the articles leading off with a render, and then a couple major ones with artwork.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}02:37, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
== Trivia ==
{{Organization 13|inquisitive=
"Ansem appears to have characteristics of both Emblem and Pureblood Heartless, in both his human and world forms. In both forms, he carries the Heartless Emblem on his chest, the distinguishing mark of an Emblem Heartless. Though this could possibly be an article of clothing for his human form, the emblem is notably absent from Master Xehanort version of the same outfit. Furthermore, the shadowy symbiote attached to him in both forms possesses the "hollow heart" shared by many other Pureblood Heartless. Though it is uncertain what the situation of this Heartless is, it is possible that this makes him both an Emblem and Pureblood Heartless."
This sounds like either speculation or it should be re-worded.}}
{{LapisScarab|time=20:33, July 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=Seems like blatant speculation to me, and it's also redundant to the appearance section. It should be removed.}}
{{LyingMemories|time=[[User:Lying Memories|Lying Memories]] 19:37, July 21, 2010 (UTC)|text= At the very least it should say something along the lines of him showing characteristics of both Emblem and Pureblood Heartless, and it's uncertain which group he falls into, if he falls into only one at all.}}
== Xehanort's heartless' INITIAL APPEARANCE. ==
I can't believe that nobody added this already. From what we've seen in BBS, Master Xehanort walks with a rather hunched back. This is rather similar to the gait of Xehanort's Heartless in KH prior to his possession of Riku. Is it possible that since the re-energized Heartless near the endgame looks almost identical to young Master Xehanort, the brown-cloaked man is his older form?
It would make sense, considering Xehanort is an amalgamation of Master Xehanort's heart and Terra's body (Well, technically his heart, soul and body, with his mind being in the LS). This means the heart within the heartless should be MX's, giving it his physical features. We've only ever seen XH when he was somehow using Riku as a conduit. Yes, this includes the final battle in R/R.
:He's never looked like young MX, he looks like Terra-Xehanort. Besides this is speculation, and unsuitable for the page.<!-- Heck, I should just let DTN move your question to the forums instead of answer it, but here we are.-->  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 01:08, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
== Emblem or Pureblood? ==
[[Special:Contributions/76.232.3.42|76.232.3.42]] 04:24, December 27, 2010 (UTC)On the page for Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, it says that it's unclear whether he falls into the Emblem or Pureblood Heartless. In my opinion, he is a Pureblood Heartless. Sure, he lacks the black skin and has the Heartless emblem on his chest, but I think I remember that in one of the Ansem Reports in KH2 it says that Emblem Heartless are artificially created and that Pureblood Heartless are formed when, well, when someone yields to the darkness in his/her heart. Xehanort the apprentice willingly gave his heart to darkness right? So, I think he falls under the Pureblood category. If I'm wrong, tell me otherwise, please! [[Special:Contributions/76.232.3.42|76.232.3.42]] 04:24, December 27, 2010 (UTC)A Wikia Contributor
:No, Emblem Heartless are created (like Ansem did when he gave up his heart). Purebloods manifest through natural processes as manifestations of the darkness in someone's heart - the person does not change into a Pureblood, though.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 05:06, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
:The emblem isn't even actually part of him; he discards is with most of his clothes when he merges with the World of Chaos.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}05:18, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
:Let's not forget that, when Terra-Xehanort gave up his heart, it was a time PRE-emblem Heartless, or at least before they were more "Varifying", so once he become a heartless, it was or could have looked like Master Xehanort, but without the emblme heartless, and when he casted his heart towards the past, it's became like a dark-silhoutte like being barely in the shape of MX, so until he could find a body to grow, he just need the robe to at least keep it's appearance straight. {{User:LuisArturo/sig}}02:13, October 03, 2023 (UTC)
== Ansem is Master Xeahnorts heartless? ==
Isnt Ansem Master Xeahnorts heartless?Due to the fact he is MXs heart wrapped in darkness or is the darkness in his heart?I mean the outfits are the same and even the same exact lines.When MX took over Terra in kh bss he said the whole line about "All worlds began in darkness and all so end the heart is no different darkness grows with it sprouts with it consumes it and all retun to once it came.I swear Ansem says the same '''exact''' thing in kh 1 when he fights Sora in the end of the game.So sence he has the same outfit as MX says the same things wouldnt that make him his heartless?I mean he has to be his heartless.When Terra plunged himself with the keyblade he destoryed his heart and Eraqus.Similiar to what Sora did in kh 1.He plunged himself to free MX heart but since that keyblade doesnt unlock hearts all he did was destroy his own heart and Eraqus's.Meaning MX heart still resisded in Terras body.Meaning:
Terra: His own body and Soul and his heart(With Eraqus inside)
Terra-Xeahnort:Terras body and Soul with MX heart.
Ansem, Seeker of Darkness: MXs heart wrapped in darkness or the darkness in it or both.
Xemnas:Terras soul and body.
Lingering Sentinent: Terras mind.
Msterious Firgure:Possibly Terras heartless(Because when Terra plunged himself he created a pureblood heartless)(Unlikely)
No Heart: MX's Lingering Sentinent.
Anybody else think so?

== Brown Robed Figure ==
We should rename him either Xehanort's Heartless or the Brown Robed Figure, as Ansem was just an alias, while Xehanort's heartless is his real name and Brown Robed Figure is the name Nomura gives when speaking about him.--[[Special:Contributions/124.168.242.102|124.168.242.102]] 09:08, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
:He gives this title officially when possessing Riku. He also has this name as his Report name, so our only choices are either Ansem (Heartless) or Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. Brown Robed Figure is just an alias, it's like Unknown for Young Xehanort, however we know he's Ansem, and Xehanort's Heartless is an extremely generic title and is a simple name. I'd understand if it were our only choice but it isn't. So we use what's best to keep them different from others, it is also the reason why Xemnas is not "Xehanort's Nobody" and Roxas is not "Sora's Nobody" either. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 09:40, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
::There's also the fact that "Nomura always calls him Brown Robed Figure or Xehanort's Heartless" is an outright ''lie''. Nearly all of the Ultimania dialogues and interviews, and even the latest games, call him Ansem. Honestly, until I see the original text of the latest KH3D interview, I'm not likely to believe Nomura even said it there, given how often the community's fan-translators like to make up their own names for things and stick them in as if that's what Nomura actually said. As for Xehanort's Heartless, that's a descriptor of what he ''is'', not how he refers to himself.
::Also also, a name ''is'' your alias. This series isn't even Merlin, or something, where everybody has "one true name that is fundamentally wired into their being". Your name is whatever you call yourself.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.177|192.249.47.177]] 13:21, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

::The Seeker of Darkness is the one who gave Riku his Dark Mode.

== name...? ==
Why would Xehanort's Heartless still be called "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness" when there are eleven or twelve other seekers of darkness soon to be revealed? And since he stole the name "Ansem," shouldn't his real identity be known as "Xehanort's Heartless?" just wondering :)
:Well, if he stole the name "Ansem" then his identity is now "Ansem", as that is the name he rightfully stole. We'll get more information concerting the other seekers of darkness as it becomes available to us! For now, please post questions like this in the forums instead.

::::Riku (Ansem) would also need to be split, since that incarnation is more a fusion (as it has both Ansem and Riku's hearts, speaks in both of their voices, is not considered a Heartless etc) while "Ansem" is just Xehanort's Heartless with a body. --[[User:Vanitas|Vanitas]] ([[User talk:Vanitas|talk]]) 21:55, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
:::::I'm cool with the split, but I think a mod needs to weigh in on a change of this magnitude.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 16:14, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
::::::Could some of the mods and/or admins either give their yays or nays regarding this split? :) - {{User:JTD95/Signature}} 19:04, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
:::::::I am some years late to this discussion however I don't think the page needs to be split. As far as I'm aware the reason that Riku and Riku-Ansem are separate pages is because the latter is a fusion of two different characters, same deal with Ventus-Vanitas/Terra-Xehanort etc. However since the Robed Figure is just Ansem SoD without a physical body, it doesn't really follow the same logic, so I think the bodyless Ansem information can stay on this page. That being said if there's more to it than what I've said you definitely have the authority to split now, either way I'd just like the split request resolved.

::::::::I agree there's no need for a split. It was argued somewhere some time ago that the wiki created separate articles for characters when they were fundamentally different in composition. Robed Ansem classifies as such and KH3D's journal entries seem to even regard him as a completely different form of Ansem (Melody of Memory seem to also indicate this by having Master Xehanort transition into Xemnas, Ansem, Robed Ansem, and then Terra-Xehanort). I wanted consistency back then but I feel now that going through with such a split would be quite unnecessary and ultimately just a bit messy and confusing. - {{User:JTD95/Signature}} 23:27, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
:::::::::I figure KH3D's journal entry separates them because as it mentions Sora and Riku don't know the Robed Figure's identity as Ansem, basically the same thing as "Unknown" or "Mysterious Figure" for Xemnas/Young Xehanort. I checked the KH3D Ultimania's character guide section and I don't see any Robed Figure mention in Ansem's section or otherwise, so I think it doesn't really mean anything. Regardless since this seems cleared up, I'll remove the split template on the page. [[User:Pureautism|Pureautism]] ([[User talk:Pureautism|talk]]) 05:42, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
