Sebastian Hoffman

Sebastian "Saix" Hoffman is Member VII of Organization XIII. He is the second-oldest Member, and also second-in-command, overseeing things when Xehanort is not around to do so himself.

Personality
Saix is a very fatherly man who sees the younger Members (such as Roxas) almost like his own children. He has a great respect for all the Members of the Organization which, most of the time, is mutual.

History
Hoffman was born on a farm in a small town in Maine, the seventh brother out of eight siblings. While the majority of the children wanted to continue a life in agriculture, little Sebastian would star-gaze with a telescope he had gotten on his seventh birthday. In middle and high school, he was picked on mercilessly for being a "science geek", which began to disturb him into utter hatred of humanity.

In his junior year of high school, Hoffman won many prizes for an astral-layout simulator, which was a computer program that mapped out the entire galaxy.

After graduating, Hoffman went to college with the hopes of being an astrologist, succeeding in doing so. However, his dream career was nothing like he had anticipated, and he felt restrained by his employers who considered his ambitions and experiments "dangerous". During one of these experiments, a hot metal pressing-tool accidentally flew into his face, marking it with an "X" for eternity, an appropriate fate for the soon-to-be second-in-command.

Eventally, Xehanort found Hoffman (after finding four other scientists and two mercenaries) and invited him to join his team. Hoffman agreed eagerly, and eventually proved his loyalty to Xehanort and recieved a management position.
