{{Q|All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different.|Terranort}}

'''Terranort''', also referred to as '''Xehanort''' and '''Ansem'''<!--, and '''Not-Ansem'''<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'''''; '''Donald:''' "It's the guy who's NOT Ansem!" / '''Goofy:''' "You mean it's his Nobody!"</ref>-->, is the result of [[Master Xehanort]]'s heart forced into [[Terra]]'s body, and the human form of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] and [[Xemnas]]. He is a member of the [[real Organization XIII]].

{{Q|Your body submits, your heart succumbs—so why does your mind resist?|Terranort prior to fighting with the Lingering Will}}

In order to replace his aged, dying body and survive the second [[Keyblade War]], Master Xehanort leads Terra into being seduced by the darkness, eventually succeeding just as he is defeated by the youth at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. Turning the [[No Name]] on himself, he releases his heart and casts it into Terra's body, creating "Terranort". However, Terra's anger animated his former armor as the [[Lingering Will]], which attacks Terranort and knocks him out.<!--http://www.mediafire.com/view/vf01a910fdv9xo4/xehanort+exp+record+%28full+size+translated%29.png# Xehanort Experience record--> In the ravine below, [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]] manage to defeat Vanitas and destroy the [[χ-blade]], creating a lightstorm that sweeps Terranort away to [[Radiant Garden]].

After Aqua secures the stricken Ven within [[Castle Oblivion]], Terra's heart calls out to her to put an end to his possessed body. She finds him, amnesiac, within Radiant Garden's [[Central Square]], but he attacks her when Xehanort's heart stirs. She fights him off as Terra's heart struggles within, and the frustrated Terranort turns his Keyblade on himself to rid himself of Terra's influence, inadvertently summoning a deluge of darkness that drags him into the [[Realm of Darkness]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Final Episode''': "In a desperate move to rid himself of Terra once and for all, Xehanort turned his own Keyblade on himself, and began to sink into the pool of darkness that spilled forth."</ref> Aqua follows and sends him back to the Realm of Light using her Keyblade Armor and [[Stormfall|Keyblade]], while she herself falls deeper into the darkness.

[[File:Where the Heart Goes 02 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Ansem the Wise finds Terranort at the Central Square in Radiant Garden.]]

Terranort is once more found comatose and amnesiac in Central Square, this time by his co-conspirator [[Braig]], who leads [[Dilan]] and their master, [[Ansem the Wise]], to the young man's location. Only able to recall the name "Xehanort", which he treats as his own, Terranort is taken back to Ansem's castle, where he is nursed back to health and becomes one of the king's best apprentices, serving as a research assistant alongside his other apprentices, Braig, Dilan, [[Even]], [[Aeleus]], and [[Ienzo]].<ref>'''''[[Secret Ansem's Report 1]]''''': "One of my own apprentices, Xehanort, has volunteered to be a subject. The young man has served me ever since I nursed him back from death's door some years ago. He had lost all his memories at the time, but later showed remarkable intellectual curiosity and readily absorbed my teachings, gaining deep wisdom."</ref>
