Nirgge Parduoc

is the 27th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army and one of Barragan Luisenbarn's six Fracción.

Appearance
He has quite a large body, and is easily has the largest body in weight among Barragan's Fracción (whereas Choe Neng Poww has the largest body in terms of actual size). His Hollow mask consists of a thick helmet with short tusks protruding from the sides. He has a wavy, short blond hair and has four short, squiggly lines descending from each eye and jagged, chipped teeth.

Personality
Nirgge is boastful, short-sighted, and demeaning. During his fight with Marechiyo Ōmaeda, he insults Ōmaeda's weight despite being of similar bulk himself. Like his fellow Fracción, he holds his master, Barragan, in high regard and refers to him as "his majesty". He is also somewhat lecherous, telling Ōmaeda he preferred fighting Rangiku Matsumoto instead of him.

Synopsis
He first appears along with Barragan and the rest of his Fracción in the fake Karakura Town to do battle with the Gotei 13. However, once Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tōsen are trapped in Yamamoto's Shikai, Barragan himself decides to give all orders.

After discovering the four pillars that are keeping the real Karakura Town in Soul Society, Barragan sends four members of his Fracción to a different pillar to destroy them, stating that if they are going to guard them using ants, he will just have to send dragons to crush them. In the ensuing battles, one by one, the four Fracción are defeated and killed, much to his,Ggio Vega's and Barragan's surprise.

Barragan, furious, prepares to take action himself, but is persuaded by Ggio, who pleads with their master to let them take care of the Shinigami. Barragan agrees, and so Nirgge engages Marechiyo Ōmaeda in battle, relying more on his large size and power to win. Feigning slowness during the fight, Ōmaeda lulls the fracción into a false sense of security, then catches him by surprise with his expertise in Flash Step and bashes his head in. Though still able to seize hold of Ōmaeda after Ōmaeda lets his guard down to taunt him, Nirgge is finished off unintentionally by Soifon when she is thrown at Nirgge's head by one of Ggio's attacks.

Powers & Abilities
Enhanced Strength:He's very strong in terms of physique. He was able to overwhelm Ōmaeda with little effort and when he was pushing with his seemingly full force, Nirgge only pushed a little more and sent him flying for a relatively far distance.

Hierro: Nirgge possesses Hierro that allows him to easily block the attacks of Ōmaeda's zanpakuto. His Hierro is so effective that multiple strikes from the blade without him even attempting to counter deflected off him with ease.
