Hibiki

Hibiki (響 Hibiki lit. Sound) is a Togabito and a member of the Holy Knights, being the 3rd Knight. He is also known by the alias "Red Eyed Hawk" by those who live in Hell due to the fact he is charged with overseeing Hell, as well as for punishing "failures".

Appearance
Hibiki is tall, standing over six feet, and slim. He has shoulder length messy dark pink hair with bangs that frame his face and are short on the left side of his face, but extend almost to his jaw on the right side. He also has dark red eyes, which others have described as being "like looking into pools of blood". He wears a light gray skin tight shirt with a looser white jacket (resembling the ones worn by the arrancar) worn open over it, and a white "robe-like" garment resembling a long skirt over his legs, ending just above his ankles, exposing a pair of white boots with black soles. A white cord hangs from his waist, which usually has a book connected to it, which he is seen reading whenever he isn't in battle. Oddly the Crest of the Holy Knights isn't anywhere on his outfit, it is instead imprinted on the cover of his book.

Personality
Hibiki is noted for being calm and near emotionless. He acts as though his position in the Holy Knights is a boring job and treats it as such most of the time. He also enjoys reading, creating an enchanted book that writes more in itself as he reads it to pass the time. When he finally gets serious in battle however, he turns this calm calculated state of mind into a weapon, being able to easily see through deception, and is normally able to analyze and find flaws in an enemies stance and techniques as well. When he is angered he doesn't lose his head like Haruka and Haruko do. Instead he becomes even more cold, becoming completely detached from the world. This allows him to commit attrocities that would even cause a fellow Togabito to go pale at the thought.

History
The only thing Hibiki has revealed about his past was that while he was alive he was a seriel killer, and that he would drink his victim's blood in some form of ritual. He also claims he was killed by having a mix of powerful toxins created by the local priestess injected into him.

Powers and Abilities
Monsterous Spiritual Power: As the 3rd Knight of the Holy Knights Hibiki has such massive levels of spiritual power that few can even sense it, even when he uses his powers right in front of them. His energy manifests as a dark red with pink highlights. A testiment of his spiritual strength is that he was able to defeat Ami in battle without having to summon his Abyssus Animus.

Enhanced Durability:

Enhanced Strength:

Master Swordsmanship: In life Hibiki used a wazikashi in his murders. This allowed him to transition to his Abyssus Animus, which takes the form of a Nodachi, easily, and wield it on par with even the most poweful Captains.

Tractus Master: Hibiki is the most skilled of all the Holy Knights in using Tractus. When he uses it it seems as though he is in two places at once, because he appears where he is going within a fraction of a fraction of a second, which has the illusion of making it appear as though he appears before he even uses the technique.

Poison Immunity: Due to the way he died Hibiki is immune to most poisons.

Abyssus Animus
Avaritia (アバーリッチア Abāritchia Latin for Greed) is Hibiki's Abyssus Animus. It takes the form of an abnormally long Nodachi with a four and a half foot long black blade, and has a gold tsuba shaped like an inward spiral, and dark red hilt wrappings. It is summoned by Hibiki holding his right arm upwards, his elbow bent so his hand is behind his head, and then drawing it forwards, which causes the blade to manifest. It represents the sin of Greed.
 * Nex (Latin for Death): Hibiki's most powerful attack, and the way he punishes "failures". He stabs the target in the heart and twists his blade, which causes the victim's heart to disintigrate, instantly killing them. The downside is this attack can only be used on stationary opponents.
 * Sanus (Latin for Sound): Hibiki holds his Abyssus Animus with the blade pointing down, and the blade vibrates, creating a high pitched sound that interrupts the spiritual energy flow of anyone within range.
 * Scindo (Latin for Rend): Hibiki channels his reitsu into the blade of his Abyssus Animus and swings it in a wide arc, releasing a wave of red energy.
 * Cruor Imbibo (Latin for Blood Drinker): Hibiki drinks his own, or his opponent's blood, and then fires a beam of dark red energy from his mouth that can cause destruction all around him. If it is fueled with his opponent's blood it is considerably more powerful. Hibiki is actually forbidden from using this technique while in the Holy Knight's lair in the final layer of Hell due to the fact he risks damaging Hell itself with it.
 * Socius (Latin for Companion): Hibiki creates familiars that take the form of large birds made of his spiritual energy that observe Hell. Everything they see is transmitted to Hibiki telepathically.

Trivia

 * Hibiki bears a striking resemblance to Szayel Aporro Granz
 * Hibiki is recognized as one of his creator's favorite characters, simply due to his unusual design and his powers.
 * Hibiki has stated that he is asexual, meaning he isn't attracted to either gender.
 * Hibiki outlives all the other Holy Knights by a large margin. The only reason he even dies is because his body finally gave out from the sheer volume of poison injected into him
