Red Sun

The Red Sun is a shady cult organization that works under the radar of the afterlife's residents and personnel. Their origin, as well as nature, is a mystery and enigma within itself. Its leading members each have their very own unusual nature compared to the souls and lifeforms of both worlds, their own natures and origins shrouded in mystery. They are assigned to govern the worlds of both the afterlife and the living world, indirectly responsible for much of the events that take place within both universes.

General Information
The leading cult members are beings of a socially and spiritually powerful kind. Their legacy has spread throughout the passage of time, and their existence is brought to the after-life's attention by tales and stories. Their reputation is various, but by the ones who are their followers, they are both respected and feared. It is said that these beings were created by the Soul King in order to ensure true peace within the after-life as well as the world of the living some day and effectively destroy the desire for godhood that courses through the nature of both universes.

Red Sun's existence has caused the spawning of affiliated groups throughout the living realm and the afterlife, all with the purpose of motivating and encouraging the goal of "Paradise". These groups are commonly identified as the true cults of Red Sun, while the leading cult members are revered as "true" gods and deities. Specific groups are unknown, as they too hold a shady, secret nature about themselves. Much of their activity and production is illegal and in some cases, unethical and immoral. This dark nature is often hidden by the most charismatic of the Red Sun sub-groups, which influence the public with a deceptive and falsely inviting manner. Propaganda is not uncommon in Red Sun, commonly used to spread the word of the cult's motives and purposes.

Members
Only a select group of members have been shown at the current time. They are listed in the order in which they appear:


 * The Monitor: - The Monitor is the first to appear, making his first debut in Bleach: Dark Intentions Arc: Into Motion. Although he initially appears to be a simple citizen sitting on the beach when Ahatake's Kan'na counterpart and his companions appear to kill Ahatake, he eventually becomes a silent, mysterious observer to the conflict. He later on punishes Kan'na Ahatake for "committing acts of terrorism to the physical and spiritual worlds" by sealing his soul within a void. He makes another appearance beside the Punisher, with both of them observing public reaction to propaganda graffiti.
