In his youth, Xehanort | In his youth, Xehanort lived on [[Destiny Islands|a beach]], but had dreams of leaving his home in search for something greater. At some point he found a way to depart his home world and came across an unnamed Keyblade Master. He began training with this Master and his fellow pupil [[Eraqus]] in the [[Land of Departure]], eventually coming to see Eraqus as a brother, though they disagreed on the role of [[Darkness]] and [[Light]] in the world. The Master taught the two the ways of the Keyblade, and that their role as Keyblade wielders was to protect the worlds of light from darkness. However, this answer was unsatisfactory with Xehanort, and he often visited other worlds without permission from the Master to learn more. During his travels Xehanort wore [[Keyblade Armor]] to protect himself from the darkness between worlds, but eventually he discarded it and sought to control the darkness, reasoning if he succeeded he would not need his armor for protection. Eventually both Eraqus and Xehanort became Keyblade Masters, and Eraqus was chosen as the Master's Successor to take over the Land of Departure. Xehanort was free then to take on apprentices of his own to train, and travel the worlds as he wished. | ||
As he journeyed Xehanort obtained vast knowledge concerning [[Keyblade]] lore, the [[Heartless]], and the mysteries of the [[Keyblade War]] and [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]]. Xehanort came to believe that darkness and light should be held in balance, but the "tyranny" of light had destroyed much of the darkness and shifted that balance. Thus, Xehanort's goal became to be the first to open the door to Kingdom Hearts and tear down the barriers between worlds. This would begin another Keyblade War that would blanket the worlds in darkness, at which point Xehanort would use the power of Kingdom Hearts to remake the worlds in perfect balance of light and darkness. However, by this time Xehanort had grown very old. He thus devised a plan to use [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade|his Keyblade]] to extract his own heart and transfer it to another body to prolong his life until his ambitions were filled. Xehanort discussed his plans with Eraqus, telling his fellow pupil that he sought to create the [[χ-blade]], a legendary Keyblade capable of unlocking Kingdom Hearts. Though Eraqus warned it could lead to another Keyblade War in order to sate Xehanort's desires, he was undeterred. Eraqus attacked Xehanort, but Xehanort summoned the powers of darkness he had learned and struck him down, scarring his face before leaving. | As he journeyed Xehanort obtained vast knowledge concerning [[Keyblade]] lore, the [[Heartless]], and the mysteries of the [[Keyblade War]] and [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]].

When he met [[Ventus]], Xehanort initially thought he could serve as his vessel, but came to realize Ventus was too good-hearted. Thus, he took Ventus as his pupil and devised another use for him - to split his heart in two, creating a heart of pure light and a heart of pure darkness. This was the secret to forging the χ-blade, which would be created with these two pure, opposing hearts of equal strength clashed. Xehanort extracted Ven's darkness to create [[Vanitas]], but the ordeal left Ven weakened and nearly destroyed what was left of his heart. Deciding he was too weak to be of use now, Xehanort took Ven to [[Destiny Islands]] with the intent of leaving him there to die. However, unbeknownst to Xehanort, Ven's heart touched the newly born heart of [[Sora]] there, which repaired the damage to his own heart. Ven summoned his Keyblade, and Xehanort decided against abandoning him. However, Vanitas's darkness would consume Ven's light if he kept both of them to train, so he took Ven to Eraqus, believing that Eraqus' zealous beliefs in light would strengthen Ven's until he was Vanitas' equal. When the two arrived at the Land of Departure, Xehanort was surprised to be welcomed by Eraqus in spite of their last parting. At this time Xehanort also met Eraqus' two apprentices, [[Aqua]] and [[Terra]]. Sensing a lust for power and a lingering darkness in Terra's heart, Xehanort saw a new potential vessel in him. | When he met [[Ventus]], Xehanort initially thought he could serve as his vessel, but came to realize Ventus was too good-hearted.

With his bond with Eraqus repaired, Xehanort was called upon years later by Eraqus to witness the [[Mark of Mastery Exam]] taken by Terra and Aqua. Xehanort used this chance to see Terra's darkness as he sparred with Aqua. Because of this darkness, Eraqus did not make Terra a Master. Afterwards Xehanort spoke to him alone, telling Terra that Eraqus will never see him as a Master, and that he should learn to channel his darkness instead of repressing it. Shortly after, Eraqus calls the two to speak to them about a new threat, the [[Unversed]]. Creatures of negativity, Eraqus worried they could endanger the [[Princesses of Heart]]. Eraqus sent the two to combat the Unversed. Meanwhile, though he was not ordered to assist the two, Ventus also left to fight them, spurred by the words of Vanitas who warned Terra would change when they next met. Unknown to them, the Unversed was extensions of Vanitas born when he was created, and were spread through the worlds to lure Terra and Ven away from Eraqus and each other. | With his bond with Eraqus repaired, Xehanort was called upon years later by Eraqus to witness the [[Mark of Mastery Exam]] taken by Terra and Aqua.
