HEARTLESS SOLDIER

The Soldier is a iconic, recurring Emblem Heartless in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, first introduced in the original 2002 game. Artificially created during Apprentice Xehanort's dark experiments, it serves as primary ground infantry alongside the Pureblood Shadow. Resembling a dark knight clad in metallic armor with clawed gauntlets and a curled helmet plume, it fights using rapid claw strikes and somersault lunges.
