Thats not even a speculative point because you cant base any of that off of whats been established in the series. (Fullbringers have a parent who survived a Hollow attack before they were born. As a result, traces of the Hollows’ power remained in their mothers’ bodies, which were then passed onto them at the moment of their birth. Their ability, called Fullbring enables them to manipulate the souls contained within matter). Thats not remotely what he does, Fullbringers don't disperse their souls healing others or giving others unique powers. You cant rewrite the story just cause it doesn't fit some neat category. (saying he stole powers). His designation is "Father of the Quincy" everything in this chapter confirms and solidifies what we already know. Now we know how he is the progenitor of the Quincy. Trying to categorize him as something else is pointless there isnt enough information to even think of where he comes from or why he exists. Fact is everything about him is Quincy, whatever part of him that was once human assuming he ever truly fit that description is obviously long gone or never existed. Being over 1,000 yrs old is basically telling that even in the realm of quincy he is an anomaly. He is the for all purposes the Quincy God does that make him anything other then the embodiment of all that a Quincy has the potential to be but likely never will attain, no. There is nothing in canon that suggests that he can't exist as powerful as he is and nothin that says that he is anything other then a Quincy. In fact what we know of the Quincy is limited to the individuals and the reality is he is "the Quincy", we shouldnt be looking from the bottom up but from the top down. If anything the sternritter are barely quincy in comparison to him, as he is the one that made them what they are.
