Kirei Satoshi

"The one pulling all the strings. An agent of Chaos."

- Zaraikou

Kirei Satoshi (きれい聡, Satoshi Kirei) is a renegade criminal and one of the few surviving bounts. He is the leader of a criminal organization called the Liberation Army ( 解放軍, kaihō gun). His goal is to wage war against the soul society and to overthrow it. He has mostly remained in the shadows throughout history, watching as an observer.

Appearance
Kirei is a tall man of average built. He has dark brown eyes and shoulder length brown hair. He wears full black clothing, which consists of a black shirt with black trousers and black shoes. He also wears a long dark indigo coloured coat. His overall appearance makes him look like a vicar due to his previous occupation as a mediator of a church. He seems to wear cross necklace, which seems to hold some significance to him.

Personality
Kirei personality is difficult to discern, he can be polite yet ruthless, is manipulative with a very dangerous nature. He is a man with a dry sense of humor and enjoys playing mind games with his enemies and allies, often unnerving them by pointing out their weaknesses and turning personal horrors against them. He seems to be unaffected by any form of morals or ethics and has stated that they are a hindrance to him. He is, therefore, willing to stop at nothing to further his own selfish ambitions, including manipulating or killing anyone if he deems necessary, and is willing to use almost everyone around him as pawns. In truth, he cares very little for his underlings or even his allies. He revels in chaos and is thought to love destruction. Due to living a hard life as a bount he has a twisted outlook on the world, having no emotional attachments to anyone.

Kirei seems to be very knowledgeable and intelligent as he has great knowledge of the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. He knew who Daichi Kazuhiro, Aoko Sonozaki and Shiro Tomokazu were before even meeting them. He was aware of the Four Great Noble Houses of Soul Society, and knew of existence of the Jōkaishō in the Shinigami Research Institute in Seireitei. He is also aware of the situation within Hueco Mundo, and seems to know about Kamui and the Epada, and their own plans of overthrowing the soul society, as he has been keeping track of their movements. Kirei is not one to underestimate his opponents, going into battle with caution and with preparations in advance. He is also not foolish enough to underestimate the power of the gotei 13 as he has stated that others before him have failed in destorying the soul society, and will not make the same mistake as them. This is the reason why he has amassed a large army of warriors to fight against the soul society. As the leader and commander of his liberation army, Kirei controls his minions either through acquired respect or fear. In truth Kirei is not a villain but an evil person, not inhuman but a deviant, a man with great ambitions.
