Almayo Vinas' (マイオヴァンとして, Vinas Arrmaio) is an Arrancar in Akujin's Arrancar Army, and holds the title of Primero (1st).

Powers & Abilities
Immense Spiritual Power: As one of, if not the strongest Arrancar in Hueco Mundo as of now, he possesses tremendous and devastating spiritual power. Almayo is forbidden to release his Zanpakutō inside of Las Noches, as such a release could destroy the fortress. His spiritual energy is bright green. When unleashing his spiritual power, he can actually cause miniscule tears in the space around him, a testament to his innate ability of dimensional distortion and seperation. When pointing in a certain direction, he can cause an immense path of spiritual pressure to affect the entire area of which he desires; this hints at his actual level of spiritual power, as when he preformed the motion listed, several of the Captain-level combatants approaching Las Noches were paralyzed in fear, one of them even being forced into a comatose state due to the sheer fear of Almayo's spiritual power.
 * Spiritual Rams: In reference to the shape of his mask, Almayo is able to summon a flock of rams, seemingly numbering in the hundreds. The wolves are controlled verbally by Almayo and will chase down the enemy with the intent to track with their horns. Upon coming into contact with the enemy or getting close enough, the rams erupt in explosions of varying size and power. They're capable of being very destructive, as when one exploded, it destroyed a large area of Las Noches's towers in a huge column of explosion which dwarfed the surrounding towers. Starrk seems to be able to summon them without limit, thus overwhelming the enemy with their sheer numbers. Renge Yamato remarks that they are like flames, as they reform from any harm done to them (even if they are literally cut into pieces) to continue their attack without pause.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Almayo has demonstrated immense skill in swordsmanship, being able to fight on even ground with Kamui, one of the most proficient swordsmen in all of Soul Society and all else. He is ambidextrous and can switch his sword from his right to left. He is even capable of defending himself from two Shinigami captains and four Vizard simultaneously. Unusual to many, Almayo seems to utilize his hilt in battle. When at close range, he will switch from blade to butt of the sword, using it in an attempt to close off points in the target's body of where reiatsu is most heavily concentrated.

Sonído Master: Almayo has demonstrated incredible speed in battle, initially able to outmaneuver Kamui to the point of forcing him almost completely on the defensive.When moving, he appears to leave behind a trail of blurs between the points of departure and arrival. He was shown to be quick enough to deliver a point-blank Cero to a Captain-level opponent, and dodge an ambush from another Captain-level opponent, all within the very same instant.

Cero: Almayo has been shown to charge his Cero using his sword and being able to fire it in a very wide ranging form, following the arc of his subsequent sword swing. Furthermore, he can fire Cero in a similar manner as Seireitou's Shikon Hisakiten; this carries over to the usage and execution as well, allowing Almayo to change the shape, size, density, and even rarely, the color of his Cero. In comparison, Almayo's Cero is stronger than the Espada's released Cero Oscuras, though this may be a speculation as of now.

Enhanced Strength: Almayo is shown using his strength to push back Seireitou, albeit in his sealed state, with little effort. He is shown throwing Kamui considerable distance using his own sword that he had grab a hold of during an attack. His kicks are strong enough to strike a opponent with enough force to have them sent flying with enough force to destroy several buildings in the surround area. Unique to him, Almayo can take in spiritual power from the surrounding area, and use it to further increase his strength and hierro. This puts him in a league far above most Arrancar, as they all have a limit to their strength as much as their body can handle, whereas Almayo can continue to increase his strength via reiryoku manipulation.

Garganta: Garganta is how Arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. Almayo has the ability to use this technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.
 * Personalized Garganta: Strangely enough, Almayo has the ability to preform rogue Garganta through sword swings and sweeps. These "rogue Garganta" can act as battering rams in the space they are made in, and sent at. Almayo can even hold the Garganta's position in front of himself to act as a space-distortion shield against both spiritual and physical attacks. Furthermore, he can even form miniature Garganta to act as redirection for missed attacks, or even as a means of sucking in spiritual attacks, rendering them useless.

Zanpakutō
Los Espacioúnicos (孤立空間 (空の空間次元), ros esupashiōnikos; Spanish for "The Lone Space", Japanese for "Empty Spacial Dimension") is the name of Almayo's Zanpakutō. When sealed as a katana, it's hilt appears lavender in color, with the bottom of the hilt having two small golden chains. The guard has a rather unique appearance, being a nonsymmetrical golden triangle, that is somewhat curved in it's shape. Upon being drawn from it's sheath, the sword emits a static discharge that runs down it's blade.


 * Resurrección: Released by the command, "Renounce" (放棄する, jishu), Almayo's blade will instantly break into two fragments, that soon seep into the ground as they fall. Once inside the ground, Almayo is bathed in an immense column of reiatsu that shoots up into the sky. Almayo's appearance drastically changes; his body is draped with a long black cloak, along with a hood that only allows his face to be seen. His eyes appear lifeless, as they are fully black now. His Hollow Mask has disappeared from it's former location, now being seen as cufflinks around Almayo's wrists, each possessing what appears to be a horn from the complete mask. Almayo no longer possesses a weapon following his release.
 * Resurrección Special Abilities: Almayo explains that his power is to isolate an area of space-time, being able to actually convert that isolated spot as it's own dimension, with it's own set of physical laws. This seperation is shown with the means of reiatsu cubes of varying shape and size, even color depending on their concentration of reiatsu. Inside these cubes, many different events and results can arise through Almayo's whim. Each of these are whimed by a verbal command, all having their own unique effect.
 * Collapse (崩壊, tōkai); Almayo can cause the space inside the isolated area to collapse on itself, crushing everything and anything inside it to a singularity. However, those that possess a reiatsu stronger than the reiatsu used in the point of collapse can evade being crushed, and ultimately escape the prison.
 * Expand (広げる, hidai); Because the isolated spot is it's own dimension, causing the volume within it to expand will cause the particles of those within to also expand, forcing them to be pulled apart. Almayo uses this primarally as a means of torture, but has also seen using this technique on incoming spiritual attacks, splitting their reishi apart and then releasing it back into the atmosphere.
 * Forge (築く, tai); By forming a thin pole with sharp closed ends of isolated space, Almayo can utilize this as a lance, which can be used for melee attack. Because the strength of this lance is evident by the seperation of two different space-time locations, no normal means of offence can shatter or overpower this lance.

Trivia

 * Almayo Vinas's name was formed from the last name and first name of two famous Spanish Explorers respectively.
