Anson Garrat

Anson "Xigbar" Garrat is Member Two of Organization XIII. He serves the Organization in a similar way to Marluxia: as a mercenary. However, whereas Marluxia is used for intimidation, Anson is used to take people down quickly and efficiently.

History
Anson Garrat was born in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, to a smuggler under the employ of a powerful mob boss and his wife. Since being a child, Anson had an attraction towards crime and weaponry, taking enjoyment in crime movies. When his parents signed him up for a local bowling tournament, they discovered their son was an incredible shot. Through this sport, Anson Garrat began to feel for sports requiring aim and accuracy, such as archery and hunting. Due to his connections with large mobsters, Garrat was seldom bothered by other kids when he was growing up, and any bad marks on his report cards were paid off.

After graduating, Anson pondered what he was to do with his life, and found no answer until 9/11 occurred. Overcome with patriotic grief, Anson joined the military and became a marksman in Iraq. There, he witnessed both sides of the war act out unspeakable evils, and he became something of a nihilist. When he came back to the States, he decided to become a contract killer for powerful people in Manhattan. However, after a while, Anson began to feel that he was killing people only to better others instead of bettering himself.

One day, he was called to perform a task for Christopher Xehanort, and the fallen scientist was impressed with Garrat. After the job was done, Xehanort offered to give Garrat a spot on an operation to breed a Virus. Garrat agreed after some persuasion, and was welcomed to Oblivion Labs. With Xehanort, the newly-christened Xigbar helped initiate the rest of the Organization.

Personality
Xigbar is like an older and more mature Axel, in which he is sarcastic yet also tame. Although a contract killer, Xigbar has a code of honor he hates to break, and despises many things like prostitution, begging, wearing skimpy clothing, etc. He is rather chivalrous, killing people because he believes it to be for the greater good, rather than killing people out of cold blood.

Xigbar is also a fan of challenges and puzzles, such as word searches and the video game Marble Blast Ultra, to keep his perception sharp and his mind occupied.

Garrat is also undyingly loyal to Xehanort, as he finds a purpose in life through his job in the Organization, and owes it to the never-aging man.
