Master of Masters

The Master of Masters (マスター・オブ・マスター, Masutā obu Masutā), is both a fictional character and a deuteragonist from the Super Kingdom Bros.'s Kingdom Hearts series created by Masahiro Sakurai and Tetsuya Nomura.

He is a Keyblade Master who is responsible for training six of his apprentices: Ira, Aced, Invi, Gula, Ava, and Luxu. Gifted with the power of foresight, he writes the Book of Prophecies and gifting the copies of the book to each five of the Foretellers.

"Well, I could lie and tell you what I am, when I'm actually a brilliant artist, or even a scholar. I could tell you that I dream of world peace. When I'm actually planning it's destruction. The truth is what you see with your eyes, not what you hear."
 * —The Master of Masters, to Master Xehanort while in his younger days.

Personality
The true personality of the Master is unknown due to his contradicting manner in all his appearances. He constantly behaves in an unpredictable and eccentric manner despite his extraordinary intelligence and wisdom but his ability to stage the Keyblade War while ensuring the worlds would still exist, manipulating his own loyal apprentices with no apparent qualms despite their absolute loyalty and his apparent affection for them, indicates a machiavellian personality.

His true allegiance remains unknown as although he apparently cared enough for the existence of the worlds to ensure they would survive despite this not stopping him from carrying out his mysterious plans, he was willing to let several disastrous events unfold while merely watching. In addition, he is quite capable of being serious, as displayed by his ability to strike clear worry into his extremely powerful apprentices when they asked him regarding their roles, despite often returning to his old self.

From what has been revealed of his true feelings, he is tired and bitter over having seen the fight with light and darkness go on in an endless cycle, noting that he wants to "take a break" from it and his entire plan of choosing new Union Leaders and ending the current world was all to finally put a stop to the Keyblade War. Additionally, the Master also proved to be supportive of Xehanort's view that the current state of the world has the weak steal power from the strong and unjustly claim it was righteous.

All of this suggests a cynical outlook on the state of humanity and the worlds. He does indicate that he has a plan to defeat the darkness but he outright states it will take an incredible amount of time and planning and will cause a great deal of suffering and destruction, suggesting that the Master may have good intentions but he is more than willing to allow chaos to continue for the sake of his plans.

Abilities
Currently, nothing is known about the Master's might but he is certainly an extraordinarily skilled and powerful Keyblade Master, having personally trained the incredibly strong and skilled Foretellers and Luxu, molding them into powerful Keyblade Masters themselves, while still being superior to their level of might, deemed by Gula as having the power to forcibly stop all of them from causing the Keyblade War.

All the Foretellers have shown absolute respect of his strength and even fear of his power, able to effortlessly intimidate even the arrogant and powerful Aced merely pretending to find his disapproval of Ira becoming the leader undesirable. He is at least strong enough to casually move the heavy Black Box from a kneeling position even without aid from Luxu.

Being perhaps the oldest character alive in the series, the Master has extraordinary knowledge and in addition to foretelling and writing the future in the Book of Prophecies, he also proved able to write detailed notes about many topics such as the Keyblade and Heartless. From his study of the χ-blade, the Master has the ability to create Keyblades from the hearts of others and can also seemingly construct Keyblades of his own without needing to use the hearts of others, as he was able to create the Gazing Eye, which was not his main Keyblade, through unknown means.

The Master also appears to be extremely skilled in sorcery, capable of many powerful enhancements, displaying a commendable level of mastery over time-based magic, having been able to enchant the Gazing Eye within the No Name Keyblade he gave Luxu so from it he could perceive anything the Eye saw from anywhere throughout time, which made the Book of Prophecies he authored possible to exist, and he also seemingly enhanced the Book with the power to summon powers from the future.

The trap set in the flow of time to prevent any attempts to rewrite the past and trapping those who tried inside a data simulation of their world created by him may also be another piece of the Master's magic. He has stated that he is not bound by either the boundaries of time or the worlds and could allow Luxu the same privellage, suggesting that he, like Merlin and Yen Sid, has the ability to circuvment the normal rules of time travel and he definitely has the ability to travel between worlds through unknown means, as Luxu stated that the Master already had the means to escape the world's destruction.

The Master also appears to be highly proficient in manipulating light and darkness, being capable of creating the Spirit Chirithys for the Foretellers and their Union members, creatures capable of wielding powers of light and also becoming corrupted and controlling creatures of darkness, and also creating bangles capable of siphoning and harnessing dark energy.

When conversing with Luxu, the Master dimmed the light of the lamp and then lit it back up by just pointing and swinging his hand at the lamp. In another conversation with Luxu, by just spreading his arms open, he was able to surround them with pitch-black darkness and remove it at whim, also displaying the ability to influence technology, shutting down the computers of the room, which he did without needing any additional gesture, and teleport, instantly appearing behind Luxu's back as soon as he restored the light.

The Master appears to be capable of sensing whenever Kingdom Hearts is summoned, as his apprentices believe that summoning Kingdom Hearts would cause his return. Through unknown means, he was able to remain alive through the centuries after the Keyblade War with seemingly no deterioration to his vitality and power, indicating he is either immortal or used the same heart-extraction technique Luxu used to remove his heart from his body and then possess another body.

The Master even confidently stated that he could fulfill his plans of defeating the darkness, which he himself stated would take longer than two lifetimes, further enhancing the possibility of him being immortal. An extremely intelligent and wise man, the Master of Masters is an extraordinary strategist and manipulator, as he gave each of the Foretellers their own roles specifically based on his knowledge of how they would react to successfully ensure the Keyblade War would occur and despite the overwhelming darkness unleashed from the war, he was still able to successfully keep the light from fully expiring and prevent the darkness from completely consuming everything, allowing the worlds to exist, but separated, by having the members of the Dandelions transported to a different worldline so as to protect them and their light.

Along with that, he also successfully instructed Luxu in how to enact another Keyblade War that was so magnificently done that Luxu successfully eluded all detection in his part, to the point that even the brilliant Master Xehanort was completely fooled into believing Luxu, as Xigbar, was merely desiring the power of the Keyblade enough to join him.

Weapons
Although the main Keyblade of the Master of Masters is unknown, he created and briefly wielded The Gazing Eye, a Keyblade forged from an eye that originally belonged to one of his old predecessors, which he used to see future events in order to write the Book of Prophecies.
