Joel Goldsmith

Joel Goldsmith is a Kami born to the Goldsmith Clan, and the Captain Commander of the Gotei 13, succeeding Shigekuni Genryusai Yamamoto in that position during the aftermath of the Thousand Year Blood War. In his youth he served as a general in the Shinigami Order, the organization that preceeded the Gotei 13, before becoming the first Captain of the Sixth Division in the Gotei 13. Later he went on to creat the Kido Corps, serving as its first Commander-in-Chief. Sometime after that he left the Kido Corps when the Goldsmith Clan, which he became the head of by that time, became one of the five Clans that make up the Royal Family, along with the Chiyu'i Clan, the Banbutsunoreichou Clan, the Miyamoto Clan, and the Yamamoto Clan.

Joel is well known for his Grandmastery over the magical arts of Kido, having ascended to a greater level of mastery over it than even its two creators, Ichibei Hyosube, who created Hado and Bakudo, and Tatsujin Chiyu'i, who created Kaido. He even created a form of Kido himself, known as Noroido, which is the art of Curses. This, along with his creation of the Kido Corps, caused him to be invited into the Royal Guard, but he declined due to a lack of interest. He also created Alchemy and Magecraft, two deluted forms of Kido which humans are able to learn, but they became obselete as soon as he obtained a great enough power in normal Kido. Over 3,000 years ago he's known for having used a Gigai to become the well known Mage, Merlin the Magician, and taught Magecraft to King Arthur in Britian, who was actually a Quincy.
