Patros

(pronounced Patras in the English Dub), is an (anime-only) Arrancar who rebels against Sōsuke Aizen and plans to dethrone him.

Appearance
Patros is recognizable by his slicked back blue hair, a thin mustache, and notably sunken eyes. His mask covers the left half of his upper face, and his Hollow hole is in his stomach. His outfit is similar to Ulquiorra Cifer's, but with a high cut in the jacket that bares his Hollow hole.

Personality
Patros shows great pride in his ability, flaunting his powerful sword draws and generally treating opponents as trash. Patros hates the fact that, as Hollows, they have to serve a Shinigami. Patros was also cold, not caring that his two followers, Menis and Aldegor had been killed, saying they deserved it if they were weak enough to be killed by "mere Shinigami", a trait Renji snapped at him for.

Arrancar arc
Patros walks down the hallway towards Aizen's throne room. He heads towards the Hgōyokū and attempts to steal it. Before he even got his hands on the Hōgyokū, Ulquiorra Cifer supprises him. Patros then explains to him, that he doesn't want to be under a Shinigami's order when he is a Hollow. He further explains what Aizen is doing to Hollows, using them in experiments. Before Ulquiorra even reacts, he is cut, and stabbed by Patro's two supporters, Menis and Aldegor.

Once Ulquiorra was defeated, Patros grabbed the Hōgyokū, and headed to the Human World. Once they arrived, the Shinigami already tracked them down. Patros orders his followers to begin battle, and meet up with him when they were done. The two head for their Shinigami opponents, while Patros heads for Kisuke Urahara's Shop. On his way there, he encounters Kon, and easily defeats him. He continues heading for Urahara's shop.

Once he arrived, Ururu Tsumugiya and Jinta Hanakari began attacking him. He questions where Kisuke was, and Renji tells him that he wasn't there. Patros and Renji Abarai then begin battle; causing Ururu, Jinta, and the Modsouls to take cover. Patros then reveals a strange attack named Level One, and sends Renji plummeting down to the ground. Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba help Renji fight, and seem to have the upper hand. The modsouls easily get defeated, as Patros claims that their reiatsu is weak.

The battle continues, and Patros still has the upper hand against all of his opponents. Renji then orders Ururu and Jinta to get Kisuke. They begin runing away, wishing Renji luck. Renji then releases his limiter, and releases his Zanpakutō, Hihio Zabimaru. Renji then gains the upper hand on Patros, brining the battle into Kisuke's hidden training ground. Patros then uses Level Ten on Renji, but the attack gets deflected by Renji's Zanpakutō. Astonished that his attack didn't work, he released his Zanpakutō aswell, Gerifalte.

Patros then delivers a blast strong enough to make Zabimaru go out of control. Patros then claims that he can't control his power in his released form. He then releases a bigger blast that breaks through Renji's Reiatsu Extentions, and injures him in the process. While the battle continues, his followers fall from the ceiling greatly injured. After being betrayed by Patros, they both die. Renji continues to attack Patros, but again results in being injured. The modsouls once again help Renji. Patros delivers another blast, but all get saved by Noba's teleportation abilities. Soon, Ririn discovers his weakness, and is restrained from attacking. Patros is then quickly defeated by Hikotsu Taihō.

Powers & Abilities
Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: While not an Espada, Patros was shown to be proficient battler, able to overpower lieutenant Shinigami like Renji. His swordsmanship is shown to be very fast and precise. With each swing, he leaves little time for his opponents to react to them.

Hand-to-Hand Combatant: As his swordsmanship is more suited for mid-range combat, Patros would use his fits more often in close-range combat. During his initial scuffle with Renji, he was able to fight on even grounds with him despite his opponent wielding a sword.

High Spiritual Power: Patros was shown to have respectably high spiritual energy, enough to intimidate Renji and make the the Urahara Shop employees take cover in the shop to avoid his spiritual pressure.

Hierro: Patros's skin was shown strong enough to punch away Renji's shikai, albeit it leave some minor damage afterward.

Enhanced Strength: Patros was shown to be be deceptively strong, able to easily catch Renji's shikai barehanded.

Sonído: Patros was seen using Sonído when he attacked the fake Ulquiorra in Las Noches, when he arrived at Urahara's shop, and during his battle with Renji.

Zanpakutō
takes the form of a normal katana with a diamond-shaped guard when sealed. The sheath and grip are yellow. Patros' Zanpakutō is not used like a normal sword in combat; instead of attacking with it, Patros can fire energy blasts from long range by quickly drawing and resheathing the sword in a style reminiscent of iaidō. The attack has twenty different levels to it, each stronger than the last. The weakness of the technique is how it's performed: in order to build up the energy, Patros must sheath the sword. If prevented from doing so, the technique is rendered useless.


 * Resurrección: Gerifalte's released form, activated by the command, covers Patros' upper body in armor and grows his mask over all but the upper-right side of his head. It also transforms his right arm into a hinge-like copy of his sealed Zanpakutō. His left arm, while appearing the same, opens at the middle to generate yellowish energy blasts. His right arm can fire what sounds like a Cero, but, much like his left arm, must open up at the middle in order to unleash it. Patros can also use both arms to fire a sweeping energy blast.
 * Resurrección Special Ability: When he shouts, his left arm opens in the same manner as his normal attacks, except that it releases a larger explosion of spirit energy. Presumably, his right arm can do something similar.


 * Enhanced Spiritual Power: His Spiritual Power increases further, as his blasts are stronger then they were in his sealed form. His blasts can also push back Hihio Zabimaru with great force, and injure Renji in bankai mode.

Quotes
(To Renji about Menis and Aldegors' deaths): "Yes. It couldn't be helped. They're of no use to me if they lack the ability to even slow down some Shinigami."
