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 brown skin and white hair arranged into cornrows and abundant body hair. 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.

Personality
Like most of the Sternritters, Jerome was ruthless and merciless towards his enemies, however, unlike some Jerome had less self-restraint when it came to using his Schrift as he used on low ranking Shinigami straight away.

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

 * With his Schrift, Jerome can greatly enlarge his already considerable size and adopt a more feral, ape-like form that drastically amplifies 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.

Great Spiritual Power: Jerome'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 Reishi from the atmosphere and combines it with his own Reiryoku 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.

The Roar
High-ranked Shinigami: Though The Roar can be lethal against lower-ranked Shinigami, it is ineffective against higher-ranking individuals, proven when Kenpachi Zaraki was merely temporarily deafened by the ability.

Trivia

 * Initially, Jerome was shown with dark colored hair, before being changed to a lighter color. Later it was changed back to black.
