Yhwach not a Quincy?

Yhwach is *the Quincy* and much more. All Quincy powers are derived from those of Yhwach, as we just saw. Not only is he able to absorb reishi, but also to share his own and then reclaim it.

Now the question is, if most of those who contacted Yhwach died soon after, where did the Quincy families come from?
