He also has rather large, bright green eyes.Ī data recreation of Vexen can be fought during the New Organization XIII Event in the month of April. Vexen sports dirty blond hair (which was a somewhat brighter shade of yellow in the Gameboy version of Chain of Memories), worn long with two slightly shorter (but still long) bangs that frame his face. His cloak is also the longest out of all the members having it almost like a gown that covers his boots. Vexen wears the basic Organization uniform of a black coat with like-colored boots and gloves, though the sleeves of Vexen's cloak are a bit longer than normal and partially cover his hands. Although acting still as a passionate scientist, in truth Vexen was more than willing to risk his life to atone, which Demyx couldn't help but call him out for, and he uses his intelligence to successfully coax Demyx into joining him. In the Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories manga, Vexen appears as a character who thinks that he doesn't get enough respect from the upper floor members.Īfter reacquiring his humanity, Vexen, now having the heart to feel horror and shame for what he did, became determined to atone for his sins and only re-joined the Organization in order to help ensure its defeat. He also feared to approach Xemnas while the latter was in the Chamber of Repose, and took Zexion's suggestion to approach Xemnas there as a joke. Vexen also displays a fear of Xemnas, immediately bowing to Marluxia's demand to destroy Sora when Marluxia threatened to tell Xemnas of the failure of the Riku replica. He felt proud of himself when it looked like his teaching was paying off with Roxas - 'small steps for small minds.' However, Vexen was irritated by Roxas only being able to 'look, but not see' in other words, making sense of the data he was gathering. Interestingly, 358/2 Days shows a more understanding side to Vexen's character he is seen patiently guiding Roxas in the aspects of reconnaissance and gave the latter all the time he wanted to examine the town even more, before finally ending the mission with valuable advice. More than any other member, save Xemnas, he considers his numerical rank a literal one and will often deride members with lower numerical rankings than his he reminded Marluxia of his superior rank when Marluxia orders him not to 'disappoint us' again and addresses Zexion by his inferior rank when Zexion lamented Vexen's impatience, but is often chastised by others for this behavior.

He appears very much like the stereotypical 'mad scientist'. He appears to view life as a grand experiment, suiting his title as 'The Chilly Academic'. He is haughty, erudite, proud and stubborn. Vexen approaches problems like an intellectual, with a hypothesis and a method to test those hypotheses. After the defeat of Master Xehanort, Vexen willingly reverted back to Even. With his work complete, he sought to atone for his past misdeeds, first by saving his master Ansem the Wise from the clutches of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness in Twilight Town, and later tasking Demyx to deliver one of his replicas to Ienzo for the resurrection of Roxas. Through his research, Vexen was able to finalize his work on the program, which yielded to the creation of replicas nigh-perfect enough to become full-fleshed humans. He created the Riku Replica and uses the Replica to carry out several experiments on Riku and Sora.ĭespite his reconstruction as a complete being, Even opted to become a reserve member of the real Organization XIII as Vexen after being approached by Saïx to complete the Replica Program for their plans. Vexen was the highest-ranking member of the Organization inside Castle Oblivion, but ironically was the first Organization member to be eliminated.
