Shawlong Koufang

is the 11th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army. He was a member, and apparently the leader, of Grimmjow Jeagerjaques's Fraccion. His position as the 11th Arrancar before his death, implies that he was the oldest living Numeros.

Character Outline
Shawlong Qufang has a long face and black hair, which is braided and usually hanging over his shoulder. What remains of his mask is on the top of his head, with a portion droping down and covering the left half of his face. The location of his Hollow hole is in the center of his abdomen, but is hidden by his Arrancar uniform. Shawlong is an intellectual, or at least an analyst, able to confidently state the nature of his opponent's powers. He is also somewhat well-mannered and well-spoken when compared to his comrades.

History
Shawlong was a member, and possibly the leader, of a group formed by himself, Edorad Leones, Yylfordt Granz, D-Roy, Nakim, as well as two other unnamed Hollows. They wanted to become Vasto Lordes by eating other Hollows and thereby decided to join forces with the Adjuchas-class Menos, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, whom Shawlong proposed be their "king". However, upon learning that they could evolve no further, Shawlong asked him to devour a part of each of them, as this would both halt their evolution and prevent them from returning to being a lesser Hollow, something that apparently all Adjuchas or Higher level Menos fear.
