Helmut Wolfgang

Helmut Wolfgang (ヘルムト ヲルプガング Herumuto Worupugangu) is an Arrancar currently in the service of the Vandenreich (見えざる帝国 (ヴァンデンライヒ), Vandenraihi; Japanese for "Invisible Empire"). Formerly known as Nanashi (名無し Nameless), he had been a simple Arrancar wandering Hueco Mundo without a purpose, before being indoctrinated into the Vandenreich and given a name and a purpose. Despite being in possession of considerable power — enough to rival that of a Stern Ritter (星十字騎士団 (シュテルンリッター), shuterunrittā; German for "Star Knights", Japanese for "Star Cross Knight Band/Order") — Helmut functions as one of the Soldat (聖兵 (ゾルダート), zorudāto; German for "Soldier", Japanese for "Holy Soldier(s)") due to his status as an Arrancar, however, he wears an outfit more akin to the Stern Ritter, perhaps to indicate his higher strength.

Appearance
Helmut bears the appearance of a young man in his late teens, with a lean but muscular build. He has tan skin, light brown hair with multiple strands over his face, and brown eyes to match. At the begining of his membership in the Vandenreich, he wore an attire consists of a long, white, double-breasted trench coat that features  shoulder straps and is tied using a black belt at its waist, which is adorned with a decorative buckle. This is worn over white trousers and  trench boots. Now Helmut wears a long, white, double-breasted trench coat with shoulder straps and a white, button-down bib. This coat is bound at the waist with a black belt, which is further adorned with a decorative buckle, and is worn over both white trousers and trench boots. Helmut, similarly to the Stern Ritter, a distinctive white, ankle-length cloak over their uniform which features the Vandenreich insignia emblazoned on its back and often a hood attached to the cloak's collar. As an Arrancar, his remaining mask fragments take the appearance of what could be seen as an extended jawbone, minus the teeth. This mask fragment has three gashes long the face of it, right under Helmut's eye. Helmut himself shares the markings in the form of scars, but the mask generally hides these.

Personality
Helmut is a laid-back individual; thoroughly relaxed and stoic. He is blunt as well to an extent as well as sarcastic, snarking at others—it seems that nobody is safe. However, he does seem polite and respectful to an extent—addressing everyone respectfully with utmost praise. He is genuinely polite and likeable; although his politeness dips into sarcasm as he snarks at everyone. He refuses to be rude; normally, such rude comments would get his arms torn off or pushed down through spiritual pressure. Because of this, Helmut is well liked by his superiors.

However, Helmut is not a team player. He hates his teammates and refuses to play nice; calling them derogatory names and the like showing them absolutely zero respect; its like he views them as beings below his politeness. However, when faced with his leaders, or the people in command, he tones it down—reverting to his previous personality but with a fair bit of snark left in. However, Helmut does have some form of a code of honor; and abides by it whenever he can.

Equipment
Quincy Cross  ( 滅却十字 ,  Mekkyaku Jūji ; lit.  Destruction Cross ):  A small, necklace-like object, shaped in either a cross or a pentacle, that is used as the focal point of Helmut's Spirit Weapon. It acts as a beacon for reishi, allowing Helmut to tap into Quincy abilities, gathering reishi from his surroundings, which allow him to make use of the ambiet reishi as his own power. T he Quincy Cross is the source of a Quincy's power. By focusing and expanding the reishi, Helmut uses his cross as a focus to create his own personal Quincy Spirit Weapon. Despite being called a "Quincy Cross", Helmut's Quincy Cross appears to take the shape of a five-pointed star, similar to the Quincy Zeichen used in several Quincy spells, symbols, and even as the Vandenreich insignia.

Medallion: carries a round medallion roughly the size of his palm. There is a design similar to the Quincy pentagram etched into its surface. When Helmut uses the medallion to steal a Bankai, black energy pours forth and from this white columns of energy are emitted which surround the intended target. Since Helmut isn't a Quincy but an Arrancar, to activate the medallion he uses an incantation to a Gintō spell to activate it. The incantation goes as the following: "Aufreide. Meer eh wolken, wolken eh regen, regen eh nebel. Sieht balle eh um sieht ballen. Wir gut freude, Danach Vrund Dill Becher!!!" (「溶けよ」 海よ雲へ 雲よ雨へ 雨よ霧へ 姿成すものよ 見えざるものへ 我等歓喜の末に 杯を地に伏せる さあ!!!, German for; "Melt. Sea to cloud, cloud to rain, rain to fog. That with shape to that which is unseen. After our jubilation, the chalice will be turned face down!!!")
