- Society of Darkness

The Society of Darkness (闇の社会, Yami no shakai) is an organization created by Zero Xerxes, with the goal of keeping peace and stopping all out wars happening. It is currently monitoring Hibiki and Zancrow's groups, waiting for a war to break out between them. They are renowned for being unremarkably strong, and are known throughout Soul Society. All of their members currently have a huge bounty over their head. The organizations current location are unknown, but they have been seen to be wandering around Seireitei. It is made up of 15 overwhelmingly strong Shinigami's, Exiled Shinigami's, Arrancars and Vizards.

Creation
The Society of Darkness was originally a idea Zero had thought up, as Zero always believed in abiding the law and having no wars, he set out to create a group strong enough to be able to complete these goals. It was until he saw a bounty list of Shinigami's, Arrancars and Vizards, he went to find them all as he knew they would have enough strength to be able to complete his goal. Once he had managed to round up 15 of the strongest shinigami he could find, he created the Society of Darkness.

Structure of Command
A Captain (隊長, Taichō ; lit. Unit Commander ) is the leader of one of the 15 divisions of the Society of Darkness, each division holds about 200 shinigami's all at a high strength level. They are situated that number based on their personality and traits. Captains are the first most respected individuals within the Organization. All of the Captains must of at least be able to use the final stage of their zanpakutō, and must be able to plan and know tactics well. Being able to utilize the final stage of their zanpakutō can give them a boost of 10 times stronger then those who can't. They must also have a huge amount of spiritual pressure, great skill in zanpakutō usage and must easily be able to take on a shinigami equivalent to a strong captain. They are the last resort combat force, as they are the strongest force.

In many organizations, second-in-command, known as Lieutenant (副隊長, fukutaichō; Vice-unit Commander) is the second-in-command to their captain and are there to help assist them personally. Lieutenants in the organization usually have obtained bankai and are equivalent in strength to a low captain, they are usually the secondary force for battle.
