Personality:
-During his time as Odin’s student, he was often cool-headed and focused on maintaining order between worlds, often serving as the voice of reason among his classmates
-Over time, he began to question his duties as a Keyblade wielder, as well as whether it was necessary to slay those controlled by darkness in order to protect the worlds
-After witnessing the darkness hidden within all worlds, he became disillusioned with the “false light” that concealed it and began desiring to change it
-While studying the history of the Keyblade, Heartless, Keyblade War, and Kingdom Hearts; he grew to believe that light and darkness were meant to be balanced, but that the “tyranny” of light prevented this
-Is extremely cunning, callous, and pragmatic, which he hides behind a polite facade
-Cares little for other people, and is willing to manipulate them or ruin their lives as long as their actions will benefit his plans
-This can be seen with how he shrugged off ruining the lives of Aqua, Terra, and Ventus by saying that they were destined to fail
-Though he does show slight sympathy toward some of his victims, as he initially considered letting Ventus die peacefully on Destiny Islands after shattering his heart
