History
Before becoming Arrancar, Nakeem had not yet evolved beyond the form of a Gillian-class Menos: aside from his unique mask, his appearance was no different from a standard Gillian. While traveling in Hueco Mundo as part of a group led by Shawlong Kūfang, they came across a small Adjuchas by the name of Grimmjow. After a small fight Nakim and the rest decide to follow Grimmjow in order to fulfill their dream of becoming Vasto-Lorde.
