Quilge Opie

is the of the first Jagdarmee of the Vandenreich.

Appearance
Kirge's head is largely shaved, with a crop of black hair on top. He has round spectacles that feature an in-built two-way radio in their frame, allowing him to maintain contact with the Vandenreich's base of operations even while located within Hueco Mundo. He wears a variant of the typical Vandenreich uniform with white trousers, black boots and a white top fastened by a black belt with decorative buckle. He also wears a short white cape and a white hat with a black peak.

Personality
Kirge has a strongly authoritative personality, as shown through his command to the subjugated Arrancar to kneel in front of him. As noted by his subordinates, Kirge often acts in a barbarous manner when individuals do not understand the true meaning of his words. He is also critical of the actions of his subordinates, namely when they took a long time to realize that he had been attacked by Loly and Menoly. Despite his casual nature, Kirge is shown as particularly unforgiving to those who show any signs of resistance. He is also highly arrogant, namely when he derides Aizen's choice of subordinates in the Espada.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
At the Jagdarmee camp in Hueco Mundo, Kirge looks on as the captives are lined up, ready for selection. After one of his subordinates tells him something, Kirge stands up and calls for the attention of his captives. He explains that they will hold selection tournament to decide which of the captives lives, which involves him killing them one after another. If they wish to live they are to kneel and lick his boots. He stabs an Arrancar that speaks up, telling them all that they will have to undergo a further admission test after selection. He is attacked by two of the captives and complains about how long it takes his subordinates to show concern for him. Kirge states that their swords were supposed to have been taken. Loly Aivirrne and Menoly Mallia cast off their cloaks and introduce themselves, before being swiftly put down by Kirge, who breaks Menoly's sword in the process. He tells his subordinates to beat them but not kill them as "his majesty" wishes to collect "idiots with guts". As he talks about the quality of Aizen's Arrancar, including Harribel, he is attacked by Emilou Apacci, Franceska Mila Rose and Cyan Sung-Sun.

As Mila Rose and Apacci argue, Sung-Sun challenges Kirge and his unit by herself, referring to her comrades as monkeys. When his unit is defeated, Kirge offers them all the chance to surrender, insisting that working with Harribel again in their service, something they should enjoy doing. His offer serves to anger the Arrancar, who advise him not to underestimate their capabilities. Upon their decision. Kirge states that it is such a pity to have to fight them. When Ichigo Kurosaki arrives, he has defeated the three Arrancar, standing over their incapacitated forms as he shows interest in the arrival of a Shinigami. Kirge states that they had been told about Ichigo and that he should be dealt with quickly. As Ichigo realizes that his opponents are Quincy, Kirge confirms his suspicion and draws his blade.

As they fight, Ichigo surprises Kirge by sending one of his own Heilig Pfeil back at him. After Ichigo counters more arrows with a Getsuga Tenshō, Kirge comments upon the ineffectiveness of his arrows in dealing with Ichigo and is surprised when Ichigo comments that Uryū Ishida's arrows are weaker than his. He refuses to divulge any more information to Ichigo. He receives an order from the Vandenreich Leader to finish him off immediately and uses his Quincy: Letz Stil. As he emerges in a new angelic form, Kirge tells Ichigo that he will teach him the true power of this form.

Kirge commences his attack on Ichigo, claiming that he will be the one to punish him. He notices Ichigo observing his Letz Stil and tells him that it is different, claiming that the Letz Stil Ichigo knows of is too weak and a concept that died out 200 years ago. He explains that Sōken Ishida held on to the old Letz Stil, but that it is as different from Vollständig as heaven and earth. Ichigo cuts him off, saying that he doesn't care about the past and that he gets that Vollständig is different from Uryū's powers. He then calls Kirge's form "disgusting" and unleashes a Getsuga Tenshō on him. Kirge survives, telling Ichigo he should aim before slashing and that he has no weak points. He then declares that his form should look terrifying to a "treacherous Shinigami" and begins absorbing the reishi from the area around him - including Orihime Inoue's Santen Kesshun. However, before he can attack, his attack is shattered from behind. When he looks to see who it is, he sees Sun-Sung, Mila Rose, and Apacci rising from the sand, having summoned Ayon.

Under the orders of the three Arrancar, Ayon attacks Kirge mercilessly. Ayon eventually beats Kirge to the point where the chimeric beast breaks his neck. As soon as his body lands outside of Ayon's reach, Sung-Sun, Mila Rose, and Apacci approach him, with the latter commenting that they may have let Ayon beat him too much. Apacci compliments Kirge on his durability, surprised that Kirge's body is still whole. Kirge unexpectedly stabs her in the chest, commenting that his superiors didn't warn him about Ayon's level of power. Kirge begins to stand up and snaps his neck back into place, noting that he'll have to advise his leader to adjust the strength of the Vandenreich's Blut, but before he does so, he'll have to kill everyone who has stepped up to oppose him.

Equipment
Quincy Cross: Kirge is shown to carry a version of the Quincy cross that consists of five points, which is attached to the belt of his uniform so that it hangs to his left-hand side.

Earpiece: Kirge's glasses bear an earpiece that allows him to hear orders from headquarters.

Powers & Abilities
Swordsmanship Specialist: Kirge has demonstrated immense skill with his sword, easily dispatching Aizen's two subordinates, Menoly Mallia and Loly Aivirrne, in addition to swiftly defeating Harribel's three Fracciónes without getting injured. He is also competent enough to fight on par with Ichigo Kurosaki in his Shikai state.

High Spiritual Power: Kirge has sufficient spiritual power to seriously wound an Arrancar, as well as to both catch and hold onto the Zanpakutō of Emilou Apacci bare-handed with ease, despite it continuing to rotate at a tremendous speed.

Reishi Absorption: A Quincy primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere and combines it with their own spiritual energy to form weapons.


 * Spirit Weapon: Using his Quincy Cross, Kirge is able to concentrate spirit energy and particles in order to transform it into a weapon. However, unlike most other Quincy, his particular weapon manifests in the form of an ornate military saber, which could easily shatter the Zanpakutō of Menoly Mallia.


 * By materializing two extensions from the sword's guard, Kirge is capable of firing the spiritual arrows that are typical of other Quincy bows. His are particularly powerful, seemingly able to generate considerable explosions upon impact, and he appears to possess the ability to fire up to six of these simultaneously. According to Ichigo, Kirge's arrows are far more powerful than Uryū Ishida's own.

Quincy: Letzt Stil: Concealed beneath the glove of his uniform, Kirge wears a black glove with the Vandenreich symbol upon it. When this is activated, a substantial amount of Reiatsu is released, resulting in the formation of a towering column of energy that ends in a large Quincy Cross, from which Kirge emerges in the Quincy: Letzt Stil after the column shatters.


 * The true name of the form taken when adopting the Quincy: Letzt Stil. In this form, Kirge gains various accessories made of Reishi including angelic wings, boots, a gauntlet on his left wrist, a large holster across his chest and a halo shaped like the Vandenreich symbol. The appearance of his eyes also change dramatically. Kirge claims that this form is as different from Quincy: Letzt Stil as heaven is from earth.


 * Kirge absorbs a large amount of Reishi at the tip of his spirit weapon to use in a powerful attack. The true nature of this attack, however, was unseen because of the timely interruption of Sun-Sung, Mila Rose, Apacci, and Ayon.
 * Spirit Weapon: Kirge can produce a sword made entirely of reishi from the gauntlet on his left wrist. He can use this sword for both melee attacks and to fire his Quincy arrows.
 * Enhanced Reishi Absorption: In this form, Kirge's absorption of reishi has exponentially increased. He has been shown absorbing the trees, sand, rocks, and even the buildings in Hueco Mundo, as well as Orihime Inoue's Santen Kisshun.
 * Enhanced Durability: Kirge was able to take a point-blank Getsuga Tenshō from Ichigo Kurosaki's Shikai without showing any signs of damage to his person.

Quotes

 * (To Ichigo Kurosaki) "You said that my form is eerie. That's the correct reaction. To the eyes of a treacherous Shinigami, our appearance of holy executioners should look absolutely horrifying and eerie!"
