I ask this because most Org XIII names relate too weapon or element e.g. Vexen Chilly Academic = He weild ice element

But Lexaeus is hardly a hero now is he?

If you no why he's called The Silent Hero please tell me!

I don't know, he's not a hero or silent, but I don't know why you made a board for it. This is the kind of thing you could have just asked in a topic like the Organization XIII topic.

The 15th Member is right about this question being asked in the Organization topic, but just to answer it...

Lexaeus is known to be very quiet and speaks rarely. That's where the "Silent" part comes from. I don't know where Hero comes from, but it could possibly be just because it sounds cool. :\

I really don't think most of these names were meant to be analyzed.

He has a tomahawk. Tomahawk = Native Americans. Native Americans = Heroes.

I guess that's why for the "Silent" part.

I think the reason for the "Hero" part is because he's strong.

A hero doesn't have to be stereotypically "good," regardless of the conventional term being labeled under that category.

For instance, Macbeth was a type of hero called a tragic hero, which essentially describes the process of someone epic being their own undoing. He progressed into a more evil man throughout the story, and yet he was nonetheless a hero.

Lexaeus... I suppose could be grouped under a antihero, which, yes, is still a type of hero, not an opposite or anything. Antiheroes lack traditional aspects of the typical hero, so they aren't as amazing or righteous as they are normally portrayed. In this case, Lexaeus intended to stop Riku from being revealed to the light, which would thus thwart their efforts to get him to stop Sora. While they are the antagonists, what Lexaeus did could be seen as noble from a Nobody's perspective.

And, more so, he does a classic heroic self sacrifice which unfortunately was modified in Re:CoM to him simply being killed of by Ansem in Riku's body. Originally, he had exerted an overwhelming amount of darkness that would take both him and Riku, but Riku survived. In Re:CoM, at the very least, he does lament about how he failed Zexion, something a fallen hero often does.

I didn't even know he was called the Silent Hero. That's pretty cool.

i agree with Grassy's response. But, it could be other things as well: a possible mistranslation (unlikely), just there to sound cool (it happens), ect.
