I'm pretty sure I threw Ienzo at Zack at one point, his journal's formerschemer, but it got lost in a mountain of backtags I'm still hacking through.
Literally, everyone but Sora and Riku is a former or current villain, with varying degrees of assholeness. Axel's basically lowkey Reno with abandonment issues, Marluxia and Luxord are those calm, sophisticated type of assholes who like cheap amusement at someone else's expense but are actually pretty nice guys if they like you, Xemnas is a former main boss who recently got a heart and has no idea what to do with crushing loneliness of emotions, Ienzo is a precious sassy little shit scientist who spent most of his life unable to feel real emotions.
And. Vanitas is one of the most interesting but he's also the biggest trainwreck of them all. He's literally made of negativity and the darkness inside someone's heart given human form. All he's ever known was pain and loneliness since the moment he was created and as a result it drove him kind of insane. Don't know how far you got in BBS but Master Xehanort should never be left alone with children is the moral of the story here.
Rundown aside, good news about literally all of them is the world hopping so they're easy to transplant into other canons. I haven't actually played FF8, but I've played all of 7's and 10's, so I'm familiar with those worlds at least.
