There's also no explanation as to why BG9 is seemingly a robot, rather than a living being; didn't it say that it'd never drawn a breath? (Maybe I got that mixed up with someone else, though...) Perhaps BG9 is even controlled remotely by a "real" Sternritter?

If we assume that the epithet "K" stands for "The Knowledge", then that Sternritter could've used that knowledge to create BG9. This theory may be a long shot, but since the Espada had Szayelaporro, it would only be fair if the Sternritter had their own mad scientist who could challenge Mayuri and his zombies. Since so few Sternritter remain, it wouldn't hurt if they suddenly threw BG1, BG2, BG3 etc into the fray. ^^ Ever since Guenael was revealed to have been created from Gremmy's ability people have been jumping on the who's the real Sternritter boat.
