True about Lille Barro, I don't think his second form or that he split up into mini versions imply anything close to human and he did have that hat always on his head which could be the mask fragment if he used to be a hollow/arrancar that was made into a quincy. For completion's sake I'll post a few pure speculations on my part and hope it doesn't get deleted or close this thread: One case that might show the reverse of a hollow becoming quincy like I believe is As Nodt. He seemed to be half dead yet had no injury on him, my thought was that he was dying or injured from overexposure to hollows and when Yhwach cured him the hollow influence remained and sort of hollowfied him to grant him his second form and inhuman demeanor/qualities. Just to point out my theory of why quincy are so affected by hollows to whoever is interested: hollows naturally have a corrosive presence as shown when Orihime's brother burned her leg when he saved her and Starrk/Lilinette caused hollows to die in their presence so I think that because quincy naturally absorb external spirit energy sources they accidentally pull in the acidic nature hollows give off and burn up from the inside
