Soul King/Expanded Universe

The is the creator of Soul Society, the Human World and Hueco Mundo, and served as the very linchpin that sustains the three worlds until he was killed and replaced by Yhwach. The Soul King is the very source of the power used by Quincy.

Personality
A highly enigmatic being, very little is known about the Soul King's personality and motivations, even to the likes of Ichibē Hyōsube and Yhwach. Indeed, despite fully having the power to do so, the Soul King strangely never resisted his sealing and subsequent mutilation, much to the confusion of the culprits. Presumably, this is due to the Soul King's ability to see the future to an extent nobody else could.

Regardless, the Soul King seemed to greatly care about the original inhabitants of his world, killing countless Hollows to protect them regardless of the consequences.

Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World
Millions of years prior to his death, the being that became known as the Soul King emerged from a chaotic, primordial world overrun by Hollows. To protect the original inhabitants of that world, the Soul King proceeded to annihilate all the Hollows that preyed upon them. However, these actions eventually started to destabilize the world.

In response, five powerful beings from that time decided to work together to fix everything, and for their own respective reasons, sealed an unresisting Soul King inside a crystal and used his omnipotent powers to split their world into three new ones: Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World, and in the process created the cycle of life and death.

Despite the Soul King's lack of resistance, the five beings were unconvinced of the Soul King's cooperation and feared his immense power, and proceeded to tear off the Right Arm of Stillness and the Left Arm of Progress and tear out the Soul King's organs, leaving the Soul King trapped in an agonizing state between life and death for millions of years.

Detached Body Fragments
When the Soul King was sealed and dismembered by the Five Ancestors, numerous parts of his body were seperated and ended up in various parts of the three worlds. Some of these smaller fragments ended up in the Souls of Humans, granting them the potential to become Fullbringers; while other, larger parts attained sentience of their own.


 * The Right Arm of the Soul King - Ended up in Soul Society where it was worshipped as a deity in the Rukongai. Eventually bonded with Jūshirō Ukitake.
