Asguiaro Ebern (アズギアロ・イーバーン, Azugiaro Ībān) was an Arrancar in the service of the Wandenreich.

Appearance

Ebern was a tall and slender male Arrancar. He had short, light-colored hair which was swept back, creating peaks at either side of his head. His mask fragment covered his left eye, and had three holes across its surface. His right eyebrow unusually pointed upwards. Ebern's attire consisted of a long, white, double-breasted trench coat which features shoulder straps and was tied using a black belt at its waist, which was adorned with a decorative buckle. This was worn over white trousers and trench boots.

Personality

Ebern was quite arrogant, questioning Ichigo Kurosaki's strength during their fight and believing that he can only be defeated by the latter's Bankai. He was also stubborn, refusing to get off Ichigo's bed when told to. Ebern did not get along with Luders Friegen and tended to bicker with him. Ebern was entirely submissive to Yhwach and seemed to fear him.

Plot

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc

File:Ivan appears.png

Ebern appears behind Ichigo.

Appearing suddenly in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom just as Ichigo asks Ryūnosuke Yuki what his name is, Ebern responds instead and declares his own full name before asking Ichigo if there were any other questions, prompting Ichigo to tell him to get off of his bed. Refusing to comply despite Ichigo repeating himself, Ebern is kicked out of the window. As Ebern holds his head outside and wonders why he was struck, Ichigo demands to know what business Ebern has with him, but Ebern appears confused. Drawn away from Ichigo's house, Ebern denies being an Arrancar upon being questioned and attempts to show himself as a Quincy. Forming a large weapon, he asks Ichigo if his powers seemed familiar.

Ebern chants the incantation for his medallion.

Taunting Ichigo as they fight, Ebern becomes elated when Ichigo finally activates his Bankai and notes it will be the end of his Bankai. After preparing a special technique and reciting an incantation, he manages to damage Ichigo's arm, but Ichigo quickly breaks free from the attack and fires a Getsuga Tenshō at a stunned Ebern. As the smoke clears, a heavily wounded Ebern furiously wonders why Ichigo's Bankai did not vanish, but is surprised by Ichigo, who points his blade at the side of Ebern's face. As Ichigo states he is taking Ebern back for questioning, Ebern escapes by using a shadow and informs Ichigo it only hides the "chosen ones".

Ebern is killed.

Later, while kneeling in front of Yhwach, an injured Ebern witnesses the death of Luders Friegen. Yhwach states he can neither blame nor praise Ebern as while he did not defeat Ichigo, he did slow him enough to prevent any further intervention. Declaring Ebern to be a foundation of peace, Yhwach decapitates him.

Equipment

Ebern's Quincy Cross.

Quincy Cross: Ebern carried a Quincy cross shaped like the Quincy Zeichen on his left wrist.

Medallion: Ebern possessed a round medallion which is roughly the size of a person's palm and has the Wandenreich insignia etched onto its surface. He used the medallion to attempt to steal Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai. When activated, black energy pours forth, and white columns of energy emit from this before surrounding the intended target. When Ebern uses it on Ichigo, part of him is affected, but he breaks free before his Bankai can be stolen. Ebern uses the following incantation to activate it:

• German
• English
• Kanji

"Aufreide. Meer eh wolken, wolken eh regen, regen eh nebel. Sieht balle eh um sieht ballen. Wir gut freude, Danach Vrund Dill Becher!!!"

"Melt. Sea to cloud, cloud to rain, rain to fog. That with shape to that which is unseen. After our jubilation, the chalice will be turned face down!!!"

「溶けよ」 海よ雲へ 雲よ雨へ 雨よ霧へ 姿成すものよ 見えざるものへ 我等歓喜の末に 杯を地に伏せる さあ!!!

Powers & Abilities

Spiritual Awareness: As a spiritual being, Ebern could sense other spiritual beings.

Sonído: Ebern could use high-speed movements faster than the eye can follow.

Reishi Absorption: Ebern could absorb spirit particles and energy from the atmosphere and combine it with his own spiritual energy to form weapons.

Hierro: Like all Arrancar, Ebern possessed the passive ability known as Hierro. His steel-like skin was strong enough to withstand the full brunt of Ichigo's new Bankai-enhanced Getsuga Tenshō though emerging with grievous injuries.
