Wandenreich Members

These are the various members of the Sternritter.

Shaz Domino
is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter.

Appearance
Shaz is a slender man with light, cropped hair. He has a number of markings similar to leopard spots on the right side of his face and wears full-framed glasses. His attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak with a leopard print top and a calf-length trench coat beneath this.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
Upon receiving the orders of Yhwach, Shaz and the other Sternritter gather at the Gate of the Sun before traveling to the Seireitei in order to participate in the conquest of Soul Society.

Once there, Shaz and the others create pillars of blue flame prior to engaging the Shinigami in battle. Shortly after Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's death, Shaz stands among the ruins of the SRDI, having already killed a number of scientists and thrown three knives into Akon's back, just as the latter manages to free Ichigo Kurosaki from the Garganta. Spotting Ichigo, whom he does not recognize, Shaz introduces himself as one of the Sternritter and starts to relate his special ability to him, but is interrupted and attacked. Members of the Gotei 13 and Sternritter sense what's going on, as Cang Du is surprised by what's happened, Mask De Masculine notes Shaz's Reiatsu has vanished, and Bambietta Basterbine wonders what's happening. Yhwach and Jugram Haschwalth later identify the Reiatsu that attacked Shaz belonging to Ichigo Kurosaki.

Powers & Abilities
Great Spiritual Power: Shaz's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami.

Reishi Manipulation: As a Quincy he primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere, and combines it with his own spiritual energy to form weapons. He has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.

Spirit Weapon
Reishi Knives: Using his abilities as a Quincy, Shaz can concentrate both spirit energy and particles in order to transform them into weapons. His favored weapon manifests in the form of several throwing knives which, while having large solid blades, possess much smaller handles similar in shape to the Wandenreich's five-pointed cross emblem. By gripping the blade, Shaz can throw these knives with enough force to pierce a Kidō barrier and a high-ranking seated Shinigami located within.

Berenice Gabrielli
is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "Q" - "The Question".

Appearance
Berenice is a relatively slender female. Her hair is mostly short and light, but the right side of her bangs are longer and darker. Her fingernails are painted and each bear a dark diagonal line. Her attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak, a trench coat, and a bolo tie encircling her neck.

Personality
According to 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, Berenice is a very talkative person.

The Thousand-Year Blood War
Upon receiving the orders of Yhwach, she and the other Sternritter gather at the Gate of the Sun before traveling to the Seireitei to participate in the conquest of Soul Society.

Once there, she and the others create pillars of blue flame prior to engaging the Shinigami in battle. Shortly afterwards, Berenice is one of three Sternritter who confront 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki during the invasion's initial stages. However, Kenpachi rips her throat out and later carries Berenice's corpse atop his shoulders, alongside those of the others, before unceremoniously dropping it in front of Yhwach.

Powers & Abilities
Great Spiritual Power: Berenice's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami.


 * Berenice claims she can force her opponents to question everything about themselves and their abilities.

Jerome Guizbatt
is a Quincy and member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "R" - "The Roar".

Appearance
Jerome is far larger and more muscular than the average person, with a dark complexion and light-colored hair arranged into cornrows. He exhibits numerous ape-like characteristics, possessing pronounced upper-canines, sharpened fingernails, and patches of dark hair along his forearms and fingers. His attire is a variation upon the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak and a trench coat, as well as pants and a pair of trench boots.

The Thousand-Year Blood War
Upon receiving the orders of Yhwach, Jerome and the other Sternritter gather at the Gate of the Sun before traveling to the Seireitei in order to participate in the conquest of Soul Society.

Once there, Jerome and the others create pillars of blue flame prior to engaging the Shinigami in battle. Shortly afterwards, Jerome is one of three Sternritter who confront 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki during the invasion's initial stages. However, Kenpachi bifurcates him and later carries Jerome's corpse atop his shoulders, along with the corpses of two other Sternritter, before unceremoniously dropping them in front of Yhwach.

Powers & Abilities
Great Spiritual Power: Jerome's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami.


 * After greatly enlarging his already considerable size and adopting a more feral, ape-like form, Jerome can drastically amplify the force of his roars in order to produce a strong, sound-based shockwave which he can attack opponents with. This shockwave is strong enough to, at close range, mutilate or even kill lower-ranked Shinigami.

Hubert
was the vice-captain of Yhwach's Sternritter 1000 years ago, serving under Jugram Haschwalth.

Appearance
Hubert was a young man with a somewhat feminine face. He had black hair, which he wore parted to one side, and thin eyebrows. He wore a white military cap with three 3-branched star emblems on it, a white military uniform with a black tie, a waist-length cape pinned to his shoulders by two pins that were connected with a length of string across his chest, white pants held up by a thick black belt, and black dress shoes with white heels and toes.

Personality
Hubert was generally calm and focused, having initially delivered his message of the formation of the Sternritter to a nearby village without losing focus until he was interrupted by Bazz-B. However, he could be somewhat condescending toward strangers, and if he was challenged by someone whom he deemed inferior to himself, Hubert would begin grinning manically while taunting them and accepting their challenge. He was also very respectful toward Yhwach, kneeling before him and apologizing profusely for accepting Bazz-B's challenge to fight when Yhwach interrupted their battle. Though surprised by some of Yhwach's decisions, he would not question them, and would angrily confront and berate anyone who did. He held an odd relationship with Jugram Haschwalth; though he wondered aloud if Bazz-B continuing to challenge him was a sign that Haschwalth was not properly respected as a captain in a passive-aggressive manner, he also offered to teach Bazz-B a lesson for Haschwalth, indicating some degree of respect; he was willing to ignore Yhwach's direct order of the Sternritter not fighting each other in order to do this, though he was irritated when Haschwalth stated that he would report it if Hubert did so.

History
1000 years ago, Hubert and Algora entered a village to deliver the news of Yhwach's formation of the Sternritter. While Hubert was detailing the new vanguard to the townsfolk, he was interrupted by Bazz-B, who introduced himself and Jugram Haschwalth as willing to join the Sternritter. However, Hubert merely began riding away, and when Bazz-B demanded to know where he was going, Hubert revealed that the examinations were going to be held in a few days before telling Bazz-B to train until then, as he did not believe he would do very well anyway. Irritated by this, Bazz-B fired a Heilig Pfeil in front of Hubert and challenged him to combat for his position, and a manically smiling Hubert accepted. However, just as Hubert and Bazz-B were about to begin fighting, Yhwach arrived and forced everyone nearby to the ground with his Reiatsu. Hubert apologized for his behavior, but Yhwach forgave him. When Yhwach declared that Haschwalth would join him as an integral part of the Sternritter, Hubert was stunned into silence, but when Haschwalth questioned Yhwach's declaration of him becoming an integral part of the Sternritter, an irritated Hubert berated him for daring to do so and told him to know his place.

Three years later, Hubert served under Haschwalth as vice-captain of the Sternritter. After witnessing Haschwalth decline to fight Bazz-B once again, Hubert wondered if this meant Haschwalth was not properly respected as the captain before offering to teach Bazz-B a lesson. Haschwalth reiterated Yhwach's rule against the Sternritter fighting each other, but Hubert claimed he would not know if no one saw it, only to be irritated when Haschwalth stated he would be watching.

At some point, Hubert was killed by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
During his fight with Royd Lloyd (who was impersonating Yhwach and possessed his memories), Yamamoto uses Zanka no Tachi, Minami: Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin to bring forth the skeletal corpses of those whom he has killed, among them being Hubert, whose visage visibly unnerves Royd.

Equipment

 * Sword: Hubert wielded a medium-length sword, which he kept in a black sheath on his left hip. It had a black handle and a light-colored hilt, which curved slightly toward the handle at the ends.

Pernida Parnkgjas
is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "C" - "The Compulsory", as well as one of Yhwach's.

Appearance
Pernida wears a long white cloak fastened at the front with three buttons and with a black Hagal rune on its side. The cloak obscures its face with shadow, leaving glowing eyes.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
When Senjumaru Shutara kills Nianzol Weizol, Yhwach summons Pernida alongside three other Sternritter to fight the Royal Guard for him. When Senjumaru summons a massive guard to battle the Sternritter, Pernida uses The Compulsory to compress it. When Lille seemingly shoots Senjumaru through the head, he has Pernida compress the body into a ball to remove it from Yhwach's path.

After Ōetsu Nimaiya confronts them, Pernida watches as Gerard and Lille attack him, only to be swiftly cut down. After Lille is cut down, Pernida attempts to use The Compulsory on Nimaiya, who immediately stabs it through the head with Sayafushi.

Soon afterward, Pernida is resurrected through the power of Yhwach's Auswählen. It then uses its power to break open the Cage of Life. Later, while Yoruichi Shihōin is attacking Yhwach, Pernida appears on Yhwach's command and warps Yoruichi's arm with The Compulsory. When Pernida falls off the crumbling palace, Gerard Valkyrie catches it and brings it with him to more stable ground.

Later, after Yhwach completely absorbs the Soul King, Jugram Haschwalth informs Pernida and the others of this before bringing them to the Soul King's chambers, where they find Yhwach oozing darkness. Due to Yhwach's immense power, the top of the palace shatters, forcing the Sternritter to move to pieces of rubble for safety.

Afterwards, Pernida is present alongside Haschwalth and the other Sternritter when Yhwach explains the name of his new palace, Wahrwelt, and how it will be the cornerstone of their new world. Later, a messenger informs Haschwalth that the Schutzstaffel have each gone to a different part of the city.

Pernida is later confronted by Kenpachi Zaraki, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and Nemu Kurotsuchi as Kenpachi decides to kill it despite Mayuri's objections. Pernida slashes Kenpachi's right arm, but he responds by cutting its head. However, Pernida's head then begins to expand.

Powers & Abilities
Reishi Manipulation: As a Quincy, it primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere and combines it with its own spiritual energy to form weapons. It has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi, such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.
 * Hirenkyaku Expert: Pernida is fast enough to even surprise Shunpo master Yoruichi Shihōin, almost immediately after being called by Yhwach.


 * By merely gazing at a target and making unintelligible sounds, Pernida can cause it to abruptly collapse inward, severely damaging it in the process. Using this power, it instantly crushed the body of one of the Soul King's giant soldiers and condensed the corpse of Senjumaru Shutara's body double into a compact ball. When using this power, the shape of Pernida's head distorts temporarily, becoming larger.

Quincy: Vollständig
Pernida's Quincy: Vollständig grants it small, white, feathery Reishi wings.
 * The Compulsory (Enhanced): With its Quincy: Vollständig active, Pernida can use The Compulsory to much greater effect, allowing it to shatter durable objects like Kirio Hikifune's Cage of Life.
