Wolfman Clan

The is a clan of sinful Souls that lives in self-imposed exile within Soul Society's Rukongai region.

Overview
The Werewolf Clan is a family of Souls who, during their lifetime, commited "sins" of unknown nature that caused them to be forcibly turned into humanoid wolves (i.e., werewolves) and cast down into what is referred to as the, the precise nature of which is unknown. Yet even such punishment supposedly did not suffice and the clan returned to Soul Society, to continue dwelling in the shadows (in the Rukongai) to be free from outsiders' scrutiny.

One of the clan's members, Sajin Komamura, was unwilling to bear the shame of a life in hiding and thus abandoned his kinsmen at some point in the past, eventually being taken in by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and given the opportunity to become a Shinigami by entering the Gotei 13, despite not being a proper Human; eventually, Sajin rose to the rank of Captain. In preparation for the looming second invasion of the Seireitei by the Wandenreich, Sajin approached an elder of his clan in a remote cave so that the latter, appearing as a gigantic wolf and being respectfully addressed by Sajin as, can initiate Sajin into the secrets of their kind: specifically regarding the Human Transformation technique.

Sajin and said elder are the only known Werewolf Clan members; how many others (if any) still exist is unknown. Both of them have at some point undergone Humanization and turned from humanoid werewolves into pure wolves.

Humanization Technique

 * A special technique unique to the Werewolf Clan, which allows one of their kind to shed their humanoid beast form and return to a fully Human form by ritually removing their heart as an "offering". In their Humanized form, a clan member's body is nothing more than a shell, as they have obtained an immortal body in exchange for their heart that can never perish. The result is that, for as long as the transformation persists, no attacks made against the Humanized clan member will have any effect, and wounds quickly regenerate. However, the transformation is only temporary, and once their time has run out, the clan member in question will regress from a Human into a complete wolf, permanently, as seen with Sajin.
