Vanitas

Vanitas, also known as The Masked Boy, is a Keyblade wielder and the secondary antagonist of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Vanitas returns as an antagonist in Kingdom Hearts III as a member of the real Organization XIII.

He is the second apprentice of Master Xehanort, the embodiment of the extracted darkness from Ventus's heart, the progenitor of the Unversed, and the evil counterpart/"brother" of Sora.

In the Pooh's Adventures series, Vanitas was resurrected by Mistress 9, who found the Unversed child's dark soul floating in the Underworld after being destroyed in Ventus's heart. This leads to Bowser recruiting Vanitas into his team, the New United Alliance of Evil, and possibly letting his wife adopt him as her new son and brother to Bowser Jr.

In the Sora's Adventures series, Vanitas was resurrected by Master Xehanort, and recruited as the 13th Seeker of Darkness in Xehanort's personal dark pieces of the X-blade. Like his master, Vanitas has not appeared yet in the series, preferring to use Winterbolt, Barnaby, Pete, and various Jungle Adventure villains as pawns for the master's game.

Trivia

• Vanitas is voiced by Hayley Joel Osment, who also voiced his good counterpart/"brother": Sora.
• Vanitas look actually like the Arkham Knight from Batman: Arkham Knight.
