History
The Clerk was present with Byakuya Kuchiki when he approached Rukia and offered to adopt her into the Kuchiki Clan. They were interrupted by the arrival of Renji Abarai, prompting the Cleric to state that it was not the place to discuss the matter. As they left, he told Rukia that they would take their leave and that they were anxiously awaiting her answer. At Byakuya's instruction, he later told Rukia that Byakuya took favour with her because of her resemblance to Hisana Kuchiki and that this was the reason that she was adopted into the Kuchiki Clan.
