Ka-reru E. Purobi

"Too Blessed to be stressed."

- Carrel when asked how he is feeling

Carrel E. Proby (カーレル エ プロビ Ka-reru E. Purobi) is a great-uncle of Dyan Arashi. He was made Captain of the 5th Division when Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was first promoted to Head Captain.

Appearance
Carrel E. Proby is among the oldest captains in the Gotei 13, and has the an old man with blue eyes, long silver hair tied back and a short beard. While a Captain, he wore the standard Shinigami Uniform (though his was an emerald green), and standard Captains Haori. During this time, his hair was longer, and and his beard was also longer. After retirement, he wears a black vest with a white shirt underneath, and straight black pants.

Personality
Despite his rather serious face, Carrel has a kind personality and was always cheerful. He constantly told Yamamoto to lighten up and be more lenient, something that Captain Commander obviously failed to do. Carrel is a gentlemen as well, and a giving man, always willing to go out of his way to help others, especially children. He is also very friendly to strangers, and jokes easily with someone he doesn't even know, adding a cheerful air to the room he's in. While he is very kind and calm, when he was angered, he is one to be feared, Dyan once stating it felt as if he was "staring into his very soul". In battle, Carrel is a merciful man, not willing to kill his opponent should they be Shinigami. Unlike most Shinigami, Carrel believes in a God, believing that the Shinigami's title is very much undeserved, but took up the post as Captain anyway.
