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.

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.

 * Fall of the Seireitei

Shortly afterwards, Berenice is one of three Sternritter who confront 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki during the invasion's initial stages.

 * 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.

Gerard Valkyrie
is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "M" -.

Appearance
Gerard is a muscular, light-haired man who wears a winged helmet and a white cape. Underneath this, he wears a darker cape attached to his shoulders by two pins, gauntlets on either arm, black pants with an X-shaped belt, and shinguards with circles near the top.

Personality
Gerard is a very aggressive man, having promised to kill Askin Nakk Le Vaar if he falls behind in battle and rushing forward to attack Senjumaru Shutara almost immediately after being summoned to the Soul King Palace. He is also very confident in his power, proclaiming that Senjumaru could not hope to stop his blade with her delicate arms and reacting with interest and amusement rather than apprehension when she summons a massive guard to fight him.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
When Yhwach summons his elite Sternritter, Gerard is among those who emerge from his shadow. Taking off his white cape, Gerard promises to cut down Askin Nakk Le Vaar if the latter gets in his way before attacking Senjumaru Shutara, who blocks with her needle. However, Gerard easily destroys her needle with a single slash of his sword and demands to know if Senjumaru thinks she can block his sword with her thin arm before attacking once more. When Senjumaru summons a much larger version of her guard, a grinning Gerard notes how big it is.

Equipment
Shield: Gerard carries a large, circular shield on his left forearm, which he uses as a sheath for his Spirit Weapon when he is not using it.

Powers & Abilities
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 Sword: Gerard's favored weapon manifests in the form of a black, double-edged sword with a black hilt. Its guard is V-shaped and has a star in the center. Gerard commonly stores it in his shield when he is not using it. It is powerful enough to easily shatter Senjumaru Shutara's needle.

Lille Barro
is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "X" -.

Appearance
Lille is a dark-skinned young man with white hair styled with a horizontal column missing in the center and a black mark shaped like a crosshair over his left eye, which is constantly shut. Underneath a long white cloak, he wears white gloves; a light-colored, sleeveless shirt with a furred pauldron on his right shoulder; white pants; white pant legs with missing sections near his calves which are attached to his shirt; and light-colored shoes.

Personality
Lille is somewhat cocky, informing Senjumaru Shutara that he does not find the size of her massive guard very intimidating. He also believes that those on the losing side of a battle do not comprehend and react fast enough, and has a great deal of faith in Yhwach's power, proclaiming that the Soul King Palace was doomed as soon as he arrived.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
When Senjumaru Shutara kills Nianzol Weizol, Yhwach summons Lille alongside three other Sternritter to fight the Royal Guard for him. When Senjumaru summons a massive guard to fight the Sternritter, Gerard Valkyrie notes its size, prompting Lille to tell Senjumaru that its size does not matter. After Pernida Parnkgjas takes out the guard with The Compulsory, Lille tells a shocked Senjumaru that she likely thought for a moment that the Royal Guard will lose and explains how those on the losing side of battle tend to comprehend and react slower than those on the winning side. Taking out his rifle, Lille proclaims that the Soul King Palace was doomed as soon as Yhwach arrived before shooting Senjumaru in the head.

Powers & Abilities
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
Lille's favored weapon manifests in the form of a large black rifle that he carries on his back underneath his cloak. Its barrel is mostly covered in white fur, except for a section on the underside near the end of the barrel and its handle, and it has a small black 6 on one side. When Lille aims with it, a black, plus-shaped barrier extends from the barrel to shield his face. A single shot from it is powerful enough to blow a hole in Senjumaru Shutara's forehead.

Pernida Parnkgjas
is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "C" -.

Appearance
Pernida wears a long white cloak fastened at the front with three buttons and with a black, six-pronged cross 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 bend it out of shape.
