Vanitas, also known as The Masked Boy (仮面の少年 Kamen no Shōnen), is a Keyblade wielder, the creation and second apprentice of Master Xehanort, the embodiment of the extracted darkness from Ventus’s heart and the progenitor of the Unversed. Vanitas is one of the main antagonists in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Vanitas’s name is derived from the Latin word for “Vanity” or “Emptiness”, and was chosen for its meaning, that it sounded similar to “Ventus” and that it was a written pun on “Sora” in Japanese.¹
