| “ | The Lich you've been fighting—it's not like other Heartless. It exists to usher hearts down to the depths of darkness. If you chase it, you condemn your heart to that same abyss. | „ |
| ~ Young Xehanort to Sora. |
| “ | This haunting horror held the hearts of Sora's friends hostage. Time and again, Sora fought it back, but with each hard-won victory, it would simply slough its form and depart to another world. Its broad arsenal of magic made it a formidable foe to face alone, but in the end no Heartless could match the strength of Sora's resolve. | „ |
| ~ The Lich's Journal entry. |
The Lich is a minor villain in the Kingdom Hearts series, and a member of the Pureblood Heartless.
History[]
Kingdom Hearts III[]
The Lich was seen after Sora came back from the Final World, where it was collecting the hearts of Riku, Donald, Goofy, King Mickey, Ventus, Aqua and Lea, one at a time. This led Sora to fight against it in the various worlds that he has visited until he went back to the Realm of Darkness. Young Xehanort mentioned the Lich to Sora, possibly indicating that it is an ancient form of Heartless and that Sora was dooming himself by following it.
