I've been thinking about who the identities of the remaining 2 Union leaders could be, and while a part of me believes they're going to be completely new characters, and another part of me has come to the conclusion that one of them may be Ienzo. Here are reasons why I believe this may be the case:
1) Zexion's weapon is a book. The majority of the Organization's weapons tend to be based on weapons they wielded in their previous lives. If Ienzo had the Book of Prophecies in his possession, then it makes sense that Zexion would wield a book as a weapon.
2) Zexion's attribute is the power of Illusion. Ephemer states that the Book of Prophecies can conjure illusions, as the worlds in KHX are in actuality illusions conjured by the book.
3) Both Zexion's weapon and attribute were kept a secret before reCoM. His gravestone in KH2 is destroyed so you cannot see the weapon he possesses. Why is that?
4) The death of Ienzo's parents. For a character that doesn't have much screen time or (seemingly) much importance to the plot, Ienzo has the most tragic backstory of any character in the series. If Ienzo was from Daybreak Town, then his parents would most certainly have perished along with everyone else in the world.
5) Ienzo's very young age in comparison to the rest of the Organization is suspicious; Ienzo is far younger than the other 'somebodies' of the Organization. The Master of Masters specifically says that a child will inherit the Book of Prophecies, and Ienzo certainly fits the bill.
6) Zexion was held to as high regard in the Organization as Saix by Xemnas. In the Character's Report Vol. 2, Nomura wrote:
'Zexion
As he shares something like a master-servant or teacher-student relationship with Xemnas, like Saix, he is a character with strong connections. While he was the superior in that regard, perhaps that was ultimately his downfall. It is likely that if Marluxia and Axel had not betrayed him in Castle Oblivion, he would have played a central role within the Organisation.
--Nomura'
Possible counter arguments:
1) Ventus became Xehanort's apprentice at least 4 years before the events of BBS, meaning he could not have been any older than 11 during the events of KHUX. Assuming Ienzo was sent to the timeline at the same time as Ventus, that would make him around 6 or 7 years old during KHUX, which seems far too young to be a Keyblade wielder, let alone a Union leader.
2) Ventus didn't recognise Ienzo in Radiant Garden. If Ienzo had been one of the 5 leaders, then Ventus certainly would have recognised him when they met. However, amnesia is a very efficient plot device, so...
Let me know what you think - feel free to add anything, or just tear it apart! :wink:
