Roshan (ローシャン, Rōshan) is an Echt Quincy and a survivor of the first war between the and the Quincy that saw his lord,, sealed away for a thousand years. He joined up with the Akanazo in order to fight against the Shinigami once again.

Personality
Sein Majestät Vorreiter (上先駆 (ザイヌ・マジェスタツ・フォルライター), Zainu Majesutatsu Foruraitā; German for "His Majesty's Forerider"; Japanese for "Imperial Outrider") is the sobriquet applied to Roshan. In the literal sense it speaks of the role he served as a member of 's forces, but it also alludes to his personal traits as well. He lives to be at the front of any situation, be it at the front of a battle or scouting in advance of an army. He had a knack for picking out details that others missed as well as make educated guesses about enemies or locations based on very little information. He was stubborn to a fault, once he had set a belief in something, it was virtually impossible to make him change his mind, and it only worsened as he aged. The same applied to combat as well, once he'd managed to take ground, it would take the absolute worst possible conditions to force him to give it up.

Equipment
Quincy Cross: The source of a Quincy's power, as the power of the Quincy grows, so too does the cross that they bear. Roshan's takes the shape of a with four arms that that narrow in toward the centre it has the typical flat ends and curved inside edges. The top arm of the cross is attached to a simple steel chain which is in turn wrapped around the wrist of his right arm. Roshan jokingly stated that the "remains of his family" were contained within the cross as a jab towards another Quincy.

The Reishi that makes up the glowing blue blade of a Seele Schneider travel at an amazing speed, making three million round trips across the edge per second. The vibrations generated by this are not only meant for cutting, but also to weaken the bonds between the spiritual energy of whatever it happens to cut thus making them easier for a Quincy to capture. A battle for the Quincy is one of gathering surrounding Reishi to use as a weapon making the Seele Schneider the most potent manifestation to this principle. Its functionality as a spiritual weapon makes it better against those who are physically powerful as spiritual impact will always over power a physical impact of equal strength. Roshan carries eight modified Seele Schneider. The splitting line at the centre of an ordinary Seele Schneider instead becomes a dividing point for Roshan's, acting like a, it's body can be flipped in and out of shape for different purposes. This additional functionality allowed his Seele Schneider to be converted into a crossguard for his Seele Wyrger, and also imitate the fletchings of an arrow, allowing him to use the larger Seele Wyrger as an arrow all the same. With one Seele Schneider reserved for use with his Seele Wyrger, Roshan utilized another for melee combat on its own, or as an accompanying blade to Seele Wyrger, while the remaining six served as reserve arrows when Roshan was nearing exhaustion or as tools in order to utilize Quincy techniques that required their unique functionality.
