Bau

is the largest member of the Dark Ones, noted for the veil in front of his face and his large club-like weapons. He, along with the rest of the Dark Ones (except for their leader Ganryū) confront Senna in a cemetery, but they retreat as soon as Ichigo Kurosaki arrives to save her. Later, when the Dark Ones ambush the Shinigami sent to retrieve the Memory Rosary, he attacks Renji Abarai, but backs off as soon as Ganryū captures the Memory Rosary. Later, when Ichigo breaks into the Valley of Screams, he attempts to stop him, but is interrupted by Renji Abarai (who activated his bankai) and Rukia Kuchiki. Bau battles Renji (while Jai fights Rukia) and seemingly destroys his zanpakutō, but Renji reconnects the segments of his zanpakutō and kills him.

Appearance
Bau wears the same green armor the rest of the Dark One's wear, but he also wears a veil to cover his face. Upon uncovering the veil it is found that he has horrible skin and teeth, making him look very unsightly. He carries two large tetsubos.

Personality
As the first movie revolved almost entirely around Senna, the deuteragonist of the film, the Dark Ones all received little character development. As such, both Bau and the other Dark Ones were viewed as "expendable, cliched bad guys" by fans and critics alike. Surprisingly, Bau did not show any individual qualities of his own, except when he underestimated Renji, stemming from arrogance.

History
All of the Dark Ones were once a part of the Fallen House of Ryōdoji, exiled 1000 years ago to the Dangai Precipice World. Amazingly, the group somehow managed to avoid the deadly current flowing through the entire Dangai, and resided there for many years. It was in this world that Bau, along with the rest of the clan, discovered the souls that evaded transmigration and turned into wandering ghosts: The Blanks. The Dark Ones learned to harness the Blanks as an energy source for their own power and learned everything about them, eventually formulating a plan for revenge against Soul Society. Bau and the rest of The Dark Ones migrated to the Valley of Screams some time ago.

Powers and Abilities
Blank Manipulation: Like all of the Dark Ones, Ganryū could manipulate the Blanks for various purposes. He was not seen using them in any unique method other than increasing his strength.

Dual Tetsubos: Bau wields two Tetsubo, similar to the one Jinta uses, only bigger and with a different design.
