Originally introduced as Unknown in Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix, then as the Superior in Chain of Memories, Xemnas (ゼムナス, Zemunasu?) is the Nobody of Xehanort and the main antagonist of Kingdom Hearts II. His name is derived from an anagram of "Ansem" with an "X", due to Xehanort taking his mentor's name prior to the discarding of his body. Like his counterpart, Xemnas is collecting hearts, but he intends to use Kingdom Hearts to create a world where Kingdom Hearts's power is shared with all Nobodies to make them whole. He can manifest some sort of energy as red "aerial blades" (which are similar in appearance to lightsabers, but lack a handle, instead extending from his palms or used as projectiles) with it, use the element of nothingness, and control the Sorcerer Nobodies.[1] He exaggerates the emotions of rage and sorrow despite, as a Nobody, not being able to feel either. Most Organization members fear him because of his power; Vexen quickly agrees to eliminate Sora when Marluxia makes the empty threat of reporting the failure of his Riku Replica to Xemnas.

He is the man who fought Sora in the Final Mix version of the original Kingdom Hearts at Hollow Bastion to test Sora, though his identity was not revealed at that time. In Kingdom Hearts II, he first appears talking to Roxas on the beach of The Realm Of Darkness. Later, he makes an appearance in front of Sora at Hollow Bastion along with his fellow members. Xemnas then later reappears at Hollow Bastion when the enormous Heartless army attacks.

Xemnas is confronted by Sora again in the World That Never Was when DiZ attempts to contain Kingdom Hearts' power. They talk, and Xemnas reveals that he is trying to build a new empire one heart at a time, and he thanks his former master for this, stating that Ansem the Wise "is the source of all Heartless." DiZ, however, claims that Xemnas has learned nothing, and that is why his plot will ultimately fail. DiZ's machine explodes, leaving a huge hole in Kingdom Hearts which triggers many of the hearts to rain down and become Heartless, hindering Xemnas's plans. However, Xemnas uses what was left of Kingdom Hearts' power, taking on a new form to fight Sora and company. Though he was thought to be defeated, Xemnas manages to separate Sora and Riku from the others to fight them. During this battle, Xemnas tries to turn Sora and Riku against each other, asking Sora if Riku is trustworthy, and asking Riku if he isn't jealous of Sora. His efforts fail, and the two friends defeat Xemnas, who then fades back into darkness.

Xemnas is voiced by Paul St. Peter in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II and by Norio Wakamoto in the Japanese version, but he surivives.
