If done right that could work for Marluxia. He still wasn't treated as anything special to Xemnas in the old games though. The only character's termination at CO that hurt the Organization was Vexen, who ironically isn't a Union Leader or Keyblade wielder. Xemnas even expressed how the loss went against his plans. They can retcon it, but it will be a noticeable big one, as Nobody (lol) missed him or Larxene, two ancient Keyblade wielders, and they were not considered important for the original Organizations main goal.With the (possible) exception of Marluxia. Xemnas put Marly in charge of CO - why? The original (and flimsy) explanation was Xemnas knew Marluxia harbored traitorous intent, but with all the newer context we have now the situation looks very different. Xemnas knowingly put Marluxia in charge of the building hiding the Chamber of Waking which houses Ven, another Union Leader, and KH3 now tells us that Xemnas is very much aware of ancient Keyblade history. This is especially interesting when you consider Nomura’s comment (I forget from where) re: the story of how Ven and Master Xehanort meet being an interesting one and one which he hopes to tell in the future (assuming Xemnas has some of MX’s memories/knowledge? I don’t think that point has been clarified).
I think Xemnas clearly had something in mind for Marluxia and this can easily be retconned as far back as CoM. One could even speculate that Xemnas’ interest in Roxas knowingly stemmed from his knowledge/interest in Ven, not just due to Terra’s memories of Ven but also because of his Union Leader history
As for Xemnas' interest in Roxas, it was always Sora. He even named him with the Sigil with Sora's name as opposed to Ventus. They could retcon that too, but it would just hurt the entire relationship of Xemnas and the Sora clones, if it was really just Ventus the whole time he was interested in. They've already downgraded Sora so much since BBS and DDD, this is the one thing that still made Sora feel special. Xemnas was obsessed with Sora and his Keyblade that he recruited his Nobody and made a Replica to copy him. I say let Sora keep that
This deserves it's own topic.If he used a Keyblade then there'd be no point in using Sora, Roxas and Xion.
