That, in turn, gave Soma a moment of pause. He had to consider his words carefully, now, or his whole argument was going to fall apart. "I suppose it could be different in other worlds - but from what I've heard, the Darkness you're talking about is, at its core, what we call Evil. Take this Xehanort, for example. You say he uses Darkness - what's he like, as a person? May I hazard a guess? He's intensely self-centered, has some grand scheme, and is willing to use whatever he can get his hands on to accomplish it. Up to and including people who once thought he was a friend, or at least someone worthy of respect. Am I close?"

No, he didn't know anything about Xehanort - but he did know Dracula, and that's how he started. War on God? Kidnapping his best friend's fiance in an effort to make said friend join him? Yeah. Drac's not had such a good track record.
