Zexion
VI of Organization XIII; Cloaked Schemer/Shadow-Walking Tactician
Zexion is the sixth member of Organization XIII, one of the original Nobodies who tore their hearts from themselves in order to experiment upon them. He is - apart from Roxas - arguably the youngest Nobody, though specific ages are unknown. Judging from appearances, most fans believe his age to be anywhere from seventeen to twenty-one. Zexion’s personality, however, is one of the most misconstrued of the entire Organization, largely due to the fact that, until KHII Final Mix, Chain of Memories was specifically for the Gameboy Advance, and a large number of fans never played it. He is often stereotyped as expressly emo; quiet, angsty, and emotional. This, as most of us know, is not the case.
Zexion, for all appearances, is the quiet sort. That is to say, he’d be more likely to listen than to speak. This is not to imply that he never talks; any of us who’ve played Chain of Memories know that when given a topic, he has no shortage of things to say. However, it is wrong to say that he is a blabber-mouth. Remember, Zexion is the Cloaked Schemer. It would be unwise to spend all one’s time speaking if one’s livelihood is dependent upon the gathering and evaluating of information.
Zexion is also the type who does not much like getting his hands dirty. His focus is on manipulation, and he is damn good at it. He is never fought in the original Chain of Memories for this specific reason; he’d much rather rely on wits and intelligence than violence. Remember, though - this is not to say that Zexion is weak. Many of us have seen cut scenes of Riku’s battle with the Organization’s number 6, and while his weapon is dorky at best, it kicks a**. He is not the most powerful Nobody, not by a long shot, but he is a Nobody.
One other point that must be made is that, while Zexion is unlikely to be the type who suffers fools easily, he is just as unlikely to blow an issue out of proportion. Sorry, guys, but that’s Vexen (who is awesome in his own right, and not a child molester [/rant]). The point is, he is not the kind of person who would nitpick, or who would dismiss someone completely. He is a schemer, and as such would not burn bridges between members. If one listens to his speech in Chain of Memories, it becomes obvious that he would very much like the Organization to work towards its goal - as opposed to killing each other off. This means developing a working relationship with everyone, and not just with other members of the original six.
In short: Zexion is quiet, you gotta give him that. He can also go on for entire sermons if he wants to. He’s very intelligent, and is not above using manipulation to achieve his ends; hell, it’s his forte. He is confident in his abilities, so much so that you could probably call him cocky, and it is this very pride that leads to his downfall. He’s not high-strung, however, and values rationality above subjectivity. You could very well liken him to Kyouya Ootori of Ouran High School Host Club fame. There lies a great deal of similarity between the two of them.
