Kirge might be a Stern Ritter. I had that feeling ever since we got to know he has a designated letter. As no one except the Stern Ritter and Yhwach himself seem to have that.

Maybe leading the First Jagdarmee just was a task he was given besides being a Stern Ritter. And I bet Yhwach's words "I guess it was a mistake to use a pure Quincy to stop you" means he planned to trap Ichigo in Hueco Mundo to have him out of the way. He escaped Kirge's jail eventually, probably because Kirge was cut in half, and the mistake was probably that the jail seemed to be the factor that awakened Ichigo's Quincy powers, since he unconsciously used Blut Vene twice to stop Yhwach's spirit weapon. Or maybe Fake Zangetsu used it, as the Quincy power he resembled had awakened.

Speaking of Stern Ritters - the unnamed guy with glasses, I wonder if he could be Stern Ritter P, "The Precision", or something. The letter P hasn't been revealed yet, and further - on the chapter page where he killed the messenger bringing the transmitter sword to Kyôraku, it looks like he shot him down without even looking in the messenger's direction.
