A Heartless that mainly appears in Agrabah. The Bandit deftly wields the scimitar it carries, and should be approached cautiously.

Thick as thieves. If attacked by a band of bandits, defeat them one by one before they can launch a simultaneous attack!

The Bandit is an Emblem Heartless found in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts coded, Kingdom Hearts χ, and Kingdom Hearts Dark Road.

Story

Kingdom Hearts

Jafar summons four Bandits to assist him and Iago in finding Jasmine. When he spots her with Sora, Donald, and Goofy, Sora sends the princess off while he and his party fight off more Bandits.

Later, Aladdin uses the magic lamp from the Cave of Wonders and summons Genie to get rid of a group of Bandits surrounding them both and their new allies.

Kingdom Hearts II

Bandits appear in a short cameo, during the cutscene shown after Sora learns of Jafar being released.

Design

The Bandit wears a white turban, and its forehead and chin are wrapped in matching fabric. It wears a gold-trimmed blue vest and blue baggy pants with light-blue-and-black cuffs, and light brown sash as a belt. Beneath the vest, it bears the Heartless emblem on its chest. It has blue curled-toe shoes and a black-and-silver choker and armbands. It also wears several gold and silver bangles, and colored rings. Its large gold-hilted sword resembles classic scimitars.

In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Bandits wear orange vests and red-brown pants, with blue and yellow bangles. Their successors in Kingdom Hearts II, the Luna Bandits, have a similar orange-and-brown color scheme.

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, their clothing is more purple, rather than blue.

The Bandit's name references the Heartless's resemblance to armed thugs. Historically, bandits were outlaws that would commit robbery.
