Patros

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

Character Outline
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. Patros is a capable combatant, being able to match against Renji Abarai. 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 cruel, 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
Having come up with a plan to make himself "king of all Hollows" he attempts to steal the Hōgyoku but is soon intercepted by Ulquiorra Cifer. Patros tries to convince him to join him in making themselves rulers of Hueco Mundo, but Ulquiorra has no interest. Patros calls upon his followers Menis and Aldegor and together they take down Ulquiorra, leaving him for dead (not knowing that it was Aizen's Zanpakutō disguised as Ulquiorra). Upon reaching the real world Patros takes off to find Kisuke Urahara and leaves Menis and Aldegor to take care of Captain Hitsugaya's advanced team.

Patros reaches the Urahara Shop only to find that the owner is not in, and engages in battle with Ririn, Noba, and Kurōdo as well as Ururu Tsumugiya and Jinta Hanakari. After dispatching them he engages in combat with Renji Abarai. Renji releases his limiter and then releases his Bankai immediately after. Patros follows by releasing his Resurrección and their battle rages fiercely. With the help of Ririn, Noba, and Kurōdo, Renji is finally able to overpower and defeat Patros.

Powers & Abilities
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.
 * Resurrección Special Ability: 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. When he shouts, his left arm opens in the same manner as his normal attacks, except that it releases an larger explosion of spirit energy. Presumably, his right arm can do something similar.

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."
