Coyote Starrk

is an Arrancar and the primera (1st) Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army along with its other part, Lilynette.

Appearance
He resembles Shunsui Kyōraku in looks and demeanor in that he is lazy and easy going, although Shunsui is more carefree than lazy, as opposed to Stark who is more lazy than carefree. His wavy shoulder-length hair is dark, unkempt, and parted down the middle. He also has a goatee. His clothing consists of the regular Arrancar jacket, albeit with the collar upturned. A dark sash, worn in a manner similar to a matador, is placed about his waist near his Zanpakutō, completing his otherwise nondescript, ordinary, and harmless appearance, which is in sharp contrast to his enormous power.

The remains of his Hollow mask consist of a bottom jaw that is positioned like a necklace. His Hollow hole is on his sternum, right below the tip of his mask. His Espada tattoo is featured on the back of his left hand, which he conceals with his gloves.

Personality
Stark is a male arrancar who tends to be lazy and unenthusiastic; he spent most of the time sleeping when the Espada learned of Aaroniero Arruruerie's death, and does not appear overly concerned by the news, stating there was nothing he could do about it now.

In comparison to the other, more serious Espada members, he is often shown in a much more comical light, with situations often ending in him on the receiving end of physical abuse. When he is shown to be serious, however, his personality only changes slightly; he comes off as reluctant, but nonetheless willing to do what has to be done to complete the task at hand. Such is the case when he was ordered to take back Orihime Inoue, despite saying he abhors such a strategy.

Arrancar Arc
Stark initially appears as a shadowy figure for a short period of time, along with several other Espada, observing Aizen creating Wonderweiss Margera.

Hueco Mundo arc
He next appears when the Espada are gathered by Aizen concerning Ichigo Kurosaki, Yasutora Sado and Uryu Ishida entering Hueco Mundo to save Orihime Inoue, apparently sleeping right before it. He is later seen sleeping when the 9th Espada Aaroniero Arruruerie is killed by Rukia Kuchiki. His Fracción, Lilynette, wakes him up and informs him of the event but Stark already knows about it. Lilynette urges him to do something, but Stark simply replies: "What do you want me to do about it?". This causes Lilynette to crudely harm him.

Later, after Las Noches is invaded by the Gotei 13 and the 8th, 7th and 5th Espada are killed in battle, he appears suddenly before Orihime as she heads over to heal Kenpachi. Before Ichigo and Kenpachi can stop him, he vanishes away with her, as per Aizen's orders. He appears reluctant to do so, as he comments that he abhors such tatics but that he didn't have much say in the matter. Regardless, he brings her back to Aizen, just as he begins to set his plan to destroy Karakura Town into motion.

Fake Karakura Town arc
After Aizen travels to Karakura Town, he is met with resistance by the other Gotei 13 captains currently not in Hueco Mundo. Aizen summons Stark, along with Lilynette and the two other strongest Espada and their fraccions, to the fake Karakura Town in order to do battle with the force from the Gotei 13.

When Yamamoto uses his Shikai to trap the opposing captains (Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tōsen), Stark narrowly avoids the attack. Barragan then decides to take control of the situation himself, telling Stark he'd "better not have a problem with that". He lazily agrees, which earns him a kick from Lilynette. After the pillars that keep the real Karakura Town in Soul Society are successfully defended and four of Barragan's Fracción are killed, all the other Arrancar pair up against the Shinigami and begin to battle. He and Lilynette engage in battle with Captain's Jūshirō Ukitake and Shunsui Kyōraku. Stark goes as far as to ask if they can "pretend to fight" until it's over. Ukitake is surprised by this suggestion, but Kyōraku gleefully states that it is an excellent idea. But he declines the offer, saying that he must fight, likely because of the knowledge of what's at stake. Stark lazily remarks "What a pain" and draws his sword ready to battle. Kyōraku then takes notice of the fight between Rangiku, Momo and Harribel's Fraccion, asking Stark if they should also put on a show. Stark not amused at Kyoraku's attempt at humor flatly says no and states that neither one of them is fighting at full strength anyhow. Stark then makes note of how Kyoraku's short sword is still being sheathed. When Kyōraku explains why, claiming he only uses it in places where it's difficult to use a katana, Stark further notes that Kyōraku is obviously ambidextrous and that he's faster with his left hand then his right, therefore Stark doesn't quite believe his excuse for his supposed lack of using his short sword. Kyōraku is somewhat amused at Stark's observations and comments on how he thought he had corrected his strength difference. Kyōraku then proceeds to attack Stark which he then dodges. While Kyōraku then surprises Stark by switching hands mid attack and correcting his swing, by making his right hand's strength match his left. After Stark comments on the change, Kyōraku asks him whether he will take the fight seriously if he were to unsheathe his short sword, to which Stark comments that Kyōraku is already plenty strong enough and he wouldn't want him using his short sword. Kyōraku decides then to unsheathe his sword.

After Yamamoto kills Allon and subsequently defeats Apache, Mila-Rose, and Sun-Sun, Stark notices Harribel's change in tactics (which forces Tōshirō Hitsugaya to activate his Bankai) and Kyōraku begins to assume that Harribel is the 3rd Espada, he then states that he hopes Stark is #2 so that the battle would be a little easier for him, but Stark reveals himself to be the Primera (#1). Kyōraku does not seem to be very surprised, merely stating that the battle would not be "too" easy after all.

When the real fight finally begins, Stark expresses a small sense of surprise at how effortlessly his opponent is able to dodge his attacks, to the point of not losing his hat or mussing his clothes. However, Stark is still able to make a cut in Shunsui's hat and make a small wound on his forehead. As the battle progresses, Stark fires a cero at Shunsui, only for him to state "No fighting pose or anything?". Stark then begins to show irritation by scolding Kyōraku to not run away. Stark is then seen to be staring in shock at Hitsugaya's approaching cloud.

He is then seen after watching Hitsugaya's and Soifon's Bankai, and questions Kyōraku whether all their Bankai's were that powerful. He asks Shunsui if his own Bankai was more powerful or Hitsugaya's. He replies that maybe in 100 years, Hitsugaya might surpass him. With that Stark calls Lilynette, and reveals that they are in fact one. While every other Arrancars splits into one body and a sword, they split into two bodies. He then releases his Resurrection form and is shown to have merged with Lilynette.

Powers & Abilities
Stark is the Primera (1st) Espada in Aizen's army, meaning Stark's abilities are among the most powerful of all the Arrancar and Hollows under Aizen's command.

Sonído Master: Stark's skill in Sonído is so great that it seems as though he possesses a form of teleportation as he moves in the blink of an eye. He is so swift that he used it to avoid both Kenpachi Zaraki and Ichigo Kurosaki in order to recapture Orihime, returning her to Aizen within an instant.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Stark has demonstrated tremendous skill in swordsmanship, being able to fight on even grounds with Shunsui Kyōraku, one of the most proficient swordsmen in all of Soul Society.

Cero: Stark fires his cero through his chest. As light heartedly noted by Shunsui Kyōraku, unlike other Arrancar, he can apparently fire a cero without doing a "battle pose", or he can fire one instantly, without any warning or having to gather and focus the cero like others Arrancars and Hollows.

Garganta: Garganta is how Arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. Stark has the ability to use the technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway. He is seen using one to travel to the fake Karakura Town.

Immense Spiritual Power: As one of, if not, the strongest Espada, he possesses tremendous spiritual power. Stark is forbidden to release his zanpakutō inside of Las Noches, as such a release could destroy the fortress.

Perceptive Combatant: Stark has demonstrated an ability to be very detail oriented when it comes to fighting. He notices his opponent's mannerisms and discerns with ease the reasons behind those actions and the weaknesses and strengths of his opponents.

Zanpakutō
Unlike all other known Arrancars, Stark's immense power is not sealed in the form of a Zanpakutō but instead it is sealed in the form of another Arrancar, in this case his own Fracción Lilynette. He also wields a normal  katana, having a pewter-colored rectangular-shaped guard with small protrusions on each edge and a sun-like design in the center of it and a golden-yellow hilt while the sheath is a metallic gold.


 * Resurrección: Los Lobos release command is Kick. When released, he uses two ornamental guns, one longer than the other. Part of Lilynette's mask appear on his head, stretching from the back of his head, around to the eyepiece on his left eye. His Arrancar outfit changes drastically as well, his upper body being covered in a fur lined jacket, while his legs are covered in fur from his ankles to his knees. There are also black scaly ribbons stretching from the back of his jacket and his knees.
 * Resurrección Special Ability: Unknown

Fracción

 * , is a female Arrancar who seems quite mischievous. She enjoys waking Stark up in unusual ways: first by shoving her fist in his throat, then by squeezing his testicles. Despite her initially childish behavior, she does seem to show some concern for the ominous occurrences in Hueco Mundo. Currently, she is in Fake Karakura Town, fighting Jūshirō Ukitake. Strangely, her relationship with Stark is not that of a normal Espada and a Fracción. Instead, they seem to act like siblings, indicated by her pulling pranks on Stark and addressing him by his name without any honorifics. She and Stark are, in fact, the same being; unlike all other Espada, to Stark Lilynette is not only his subordinate, but the physical form of his sealed power as well. In short, she is like Stark's Zanpakutō.
