Jiminy's Journal (KH:CoM)
A mysterious figure who stands in Sora's path. Hard to read, half the time Axel seems to just be messing around... but for all we know, he's done more thinking than everyone else put together.

D Report
No.8 in the Organization. He is a shadow whose intentions and secrets are hidden from all. Axel has no qualms about exploiting others to suit his needs. He used Sora and Namine to silence Marluxia and halt his plot against the Organization. Axel also claims that he and Sora have something in common, but that connection is unclear.
