Axel, the Flurry of Dancing Flames, makes his way to this list and has one of the best betrayals there is. In this list, you have probably noticed many betrayals causing something bad to happen. Well, Axel is much different. His betrayal lead to a chain reaction causing the protagonist to actually win in the end of two different Kingdom Hearts games.

Roxas works for Organization XIII, an evil organization who steal hearts, destroy worlds, and people. A major part of Axel's job is to keep a close eye on Roxas who can mysteriously wield a keyblade, the protagonist's weapon in the first Kingdom Hearts. An Organization XIII member can not feel emotion. It's not that they are forbidden, it's just that they just can't. However, Axel and a few other members are different. Axel and Roxas become very close. Axel finds out more about who Roxas really is as Namine appears. Axel disobediently betrays the Organization as he let Namine escape. The emotion gained from realizing who Roxas really is, who Axel is himself, and what he has been doing all this time just compelled him. He gained a conscience. This conscience became a bit troubling toward the end as he felt jealousy but the next game really showed Axel's great intentions.

Axel always held trust in the Organization except maybe for 2 or 3 members who eventually died anyways. In Kingdom Hearts 2, his job was to stop the main protagonist. Well he does meet up with him several times and tries to remind him who he was which he doesn't quite understand. Actually, if you never played the inbetween games, it is real hard to understand Axel's motive. Towards the end of the game you become overwhelmed with enemies and Axel uses every source of energy to get rid of the enemies allowing you to continue, however, sacrifices himself in the process.

Axel was a very powerful member and sure had the capabilities to destroy Namine and the main protagonist but his betrayal led to a chain of events that allowed you to win in the end. It's possibly the only good betrayal on this list and a very important part of this complex story. If you played this game you may have a different viewpoint on who betrayed who. You may reside with other Organization members causing the mess. Yes, many members did commit treason but for the intentions for more power. However, they always had their trust in Axel who betrayed for more important reasons, reasons that allowed you to actually progress the game.
