Cang Du

is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "I".

Appearance
Cang is a fairly slim man with narrow eyes and short, dark hair, with pointed bangs that hang between his eyes. He has a small, vertical scar over the left side of his mouth. His attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, and a pair of black fingerless gloves.

Personality
Cang Du is a stoic individual, especially in comparison to some of his Sternritter comrades. Cang had very little reaction to the news that Yhwach had appointed Uryū as his successor, despite him being a new recruit, while the news caused anger among his comrades.

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
Upon receiving the orders of Yhwach, Cang Du and the other Sternritter gather at the Gate of the Sun before traveling to the Seireitei in order to participate in the conquest of Soul Society.

Once there, he and the others create pillars of blue flame prior to engaging the Shinigami in battle. Cang encounters the captain of the 10th Division, Tōshirō Hitsugaya. When Hitsugaya activates his Bankai, Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, Cang uses his medallion to steal it. During the course of their battle, the Quincy uses the captain's Bankai against him. When Captain-Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto activates his own Bankai during his fight against Yhwach, all the water in Soul Society begins to evaporate, including the ice which composes the stolen Bankai. When Ichigo Kurosaki later arrives in Soul Society, Cang is surprised when his Reiatsu abruptly vanishes.

Later, after the Wandenreich's retreat from Soul Society, Cang is present when Yhwach declares that Uryū Ishida will be his successor. Following the announcement, he, Bazz-B, Mask De Masculine, and BG9 discuss the announcement, with Cang remaining silent.

During the Wandenreich's second invasion of Soul Society, Cang arrives on the scene just as Bazz-B is about to attack Hitsugaya, reminding Bazz-B that they promised to leave the captains to the ones who stole their Bankai. Cang then moves forward, stating that he will have the final blow.

Equipment
Medallion: Cang possesses a round, unnamed device which is roughly the size of a person's palm and has the Wandenreich insignia etched onto its surface. When activated, the device can steal a currently released Bankai in the immediate vicinity, as evidenced when Cang used it to take Tōshirō Hitsugaya's Daiguren Hyōrinmaru. Afterwards, the medallion's owner can use the stolen Bankai's power at will.

Powers & Abilities
Great Spiritual Power: Cang Du's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami.

Reishi Absorption: As a Quincy, Cang can absorb spirit particles from the atmosphere and combine them with his own spiritual energy to form weapons and use different techniques.

Spirit Weapon
Reishi Claw: Using his abilities as a Quincy, Cang can concentrate spirit energy and particles and form them into weapons. His favored weapon is a claw with four curved blades, which he wears on the back of either wrist.
