The Harbingers of Caligousness (also known simply as the "Harbingers") is a villainous faction formed by a triple alliance between Kefka, Luxord, and Xehanort's Heartless, also known as "Ansem." Viewed by many as the successor faction to the Cult of Kefka, the Harbingers waged a war against just about every other active group in the known multiverse. Because of the sheer strength of just its three key members, they stood unchallenged for quite some time.
