Quodrak Verros/Fanon Canon

Quodrak Verros (クォドラック・ベロス, Kuodorakku Berosu) is a male. Formerly a and a rank and file member of 's Arrancar Army, he now serves as a Fracción of the new Segunda Espada, Voldan Xezharros.

Appearance
Quodrak is an exceptionally tall and lean Caucasian male seemingly in his early 30s. While clearly human-like in stature, there is a number of distinct traits that together contribute to his somewhat extraordinary appearance, stemming likely from his status as a low-rank Arrancar. He is unhealthily thin and frail-looking considering his height, and what little body he has consists mostly of sinewy muscles. More importantly, though, his limbs are grossly out of proportion with the rest of his body, elongated to the point that they look almost like stilts. In addition, he possesses : both of his hands exhibit one supernumerary, completely functional finger each.

His short, ash blond hair are styled in a flattop, a type of crew cut where the hair on the top of the head is graduated in length from the front hairline back through the crown, forming a flat deck. The hair on the sides and the back of his head is tapered short. The haircut is slightly unkempt, as several loose strands of hair usually hang above his high, prominent forehead. The hairline is somewhat receded, displaying the initial stages of a widow's peak.

The features of Verros' face are sharp and slightly disproportionate, giving off a feeling of discomfort that is difficult to describe by most of the potential observers. He has a smooth forehead, prominent supraorbital ridges with no eyebrows to speak of, high, protruding cheekbones and a wide, rather squarish jaw. The eyes are relatively large, uniformly pitch black and glossy. His nose is quite large and aquiline, and there is a small mole located on his left cheek. His mouth is unnervingly wide, with rows of pearl white, square teeth hidden behind thin and almost scar-like lips usually extended in a disturbing absent-minded smile. The remnants of his Hollow mask are two mandible-like bone structures framing his face and protruding forward. On the other hand, the location of his Hollow hole is currently unknown.

Quodrak's typical clothing consists of an altered standard issue uniform and a cap given by Wandenreich to their Soldaten. The only official modification includes a number of changes to its dimensions in order to accomodate the Arrancar's uncommon figure. However, Verros himself has made a couple of minor alterations on his own. He tends to wear a pair of sunglasses rather than the common goggles at virtually all times to conceal his eyes, and keeps the collar of his very long trenchcoat upward. In addition, he usually dons a pair of white gloves with only five fingers each, and a silver necklace with a weird, spiral-like trinket attached to the chain.

Personality
In short, Quodrak might be summed up as a very peculiar person. He is a secretive, socially awkward man who seems to actively avoid the company of others. Taciturn, he speaks very rarely of his own volition, and whenever addressed directly responds in an informative, but succint, austere even, manner. Generally, he treats his Quincy superiors and peers in a gentle, polite and respectful way. He does not question orders and skillfully stays clear from expressions and situations that could potentially cause a conflict. In spite of his unusual visage, he is quite adept at avoiding excessive attention, but every time he is drawn into a conversation, he has little trouble withdrawing unnoticed at the closest opportunity. Whilst unwilling to spend time with the Quincy when he has choice, he seems to hang around the few remaining Arrancar in their ranks most of the time. Even though he seldom joins them in their activities, he may be sometimes seen watching or following them at a safe distance, at least when he lets himself be seen.

Verros tends to stay at the sidelines of any significant events. He much prefers to observe things rather than participate actively, allowing him to react in the most logical and efficient manner possible when necessary. He is an expert onlooker and infiltrator, since he is capable of entering normally inaccessible places with little difficulty and no consequences despite his low-level clearance. He traverses the spacious rooms and halls of the Wandenreich Headquarters with a swift, shuffling gait, sticking to badly-lit corners and often disappearing in shadowed places only to reemerge elsewhere without a warning.

His constant wide and absent-minded smile is rather off-putting to most, and helps him discourage people from approaching him. When someone keeps staring at him for a while, he habitually feigns ignorance only to suddenly turn to the individual with an unnerving grin outstretched on his peculiar face. From time to time wrinkles apear on his high forehead, indicating some sort of deep deliberation which topics he does not reveal to anyone, even his Arrancar brethren.

Quodrak does not talk about himself and is prone to swiftly changing the subject when questioned about personal matters. During the rare occasions he is directly engaged in a prolonged conversation, some of his other, typically hidden traits might emerge. In fact, he is a smug and cynical person with a sour sense of humour. Deceptive and manipulative, he deliberately maintains his somewhat unassuming image in order to facilitate his scheming. Unknown to most of his comrades and especially superiors, he is extremely ambitious and plans to gradually increase both his power and status. He acts in a stealthy, very careful manner and frequently achieves his goals under the pretense of loyally serving the Wandenreich. The truth is, he does not respect any authority but his own, but acts the way he does in order to escape notice. Those few who have managed to expose his true motifs, one way or another, all disappeared under unclear circumstances shortly afterward, keeping his schemes secret for the time being.

Amongst the plethora of more or less ordinary personality traits and habits, Verros has a distinct speech quirk: he tends to end most of his utterances with a quick "tsk-tsk", followed by what appears to be an involuntary twitch of the right eye. The habit may not show up when he speaks only one word or sometimes even a full sentence, but otherwise persists throughout extended conversations as well. While bewildering to his interlocutors, Quodrak himself is ostensibly unaware of the quirk and refuses to speak about it when questioned.

History
Like most Hollows, the entity who would one day become Quodrak Verros, an Arrancar, began its existence as a Human. The Human, whose original name remains unknown, was born and lived in a big city in the in the early. As the single child of an attractive housewife and an affluent man identifying himself as a businessman, he had a rather happy childhood. Spoilt, but also thoroughly educated by his parents, he was being gradually prepared to help and work with his father. Once he became a young adult, the truth of his father's business was revealed to him: in fact, his parent was a local boss.

Having matured at the onset of the, the Human found himself in an environment where organised crime flourished. However, rather than help his father directly with maintaining the alcohol smuggling business, he lent a hand in securing it instead. As the father had found out that despite his unusual stature and height his son was an extremely skilled fighter and infiltrator, he hired him as an assassin. Whenever some trouble arose, whether it be righteous politicians, police or competing criminals, the Human intervened and eliminated the threat with cold efficiency. His father's syndicate thrived for much of the period, partly thanks to his son's repeated efforts at protecting it from outside influence. Nevertheless, the world of organised crime was a very dangerous and unpredictable one, as the Human eventually learnt the hard way.

One day in the early 1930s a powerful rival gang decided to terminate his father's organisation once and for all. Surprised and overwhelmed after many years of successfully doing the same to others, the entire syndicate was wiped out during one large action. Having found his parents, friends and coworkers dead after returning from an assassination, the Human attempted to avenge them, killing many of the attackers as a result. However, he was but a Human, and his rampage of revenge was cut short when he was caught off guard in a room and shot to death by several criminals, abruptly ending his life.

Embittered by the way his promising, but short life had been taken, the Human's Soul clung to the place for a time, unable to reconcile with its fate. Due to the numerous heinous crimes it had committed and the accumulation of negative emotions, the Soul finally became warped and twisted into a Hollow. With most of its intellect and identity gone upon the transformation, the newborn Hollow proceeded to hunt Human Souls to satiate its mindless appetite, through sheer chance or latent memories starting with the families of the criminals that had killed him and his family. Now a spider-like spiritual entity, the Hollow was a slow, patient hunter. Unwilling to spend too much time in the highly dangerous realm of, it gradually fed and grew stronger whilst remaining in the World of the Living for the most part. However, memories began returning after a while, springing back to life the Hollow's former ambitions and lust for power. As such, it eventually came to Hueco Mundo in search of more nutritious prey.

Unfortunately, at least in the short term, the entity found itself quickly overwhelmed by swarms of other low-rank Hollows. Lost in a vicious, cannibalistic combat, it became a part of a newly born. The Hollow had been initially lost in the tempest of maddened, half-savage Souls, but the drive to power and highly developed sense of individuality allowed it to resurface and take control of the amalgamate being. Acting on pure instinct, the Gillian began attacking its mindless brethren and continued to grow, slowly, but surely.

In the end, the Gillian was able to evolve into an arachnid. The entity recovered most of its identity and mental faculties at that stage, for the first time identifying itself as Quodrak Verros. For a short time it hunted other Hollows, utilising its wit and Reishi Webs to defeat the many stronger beings it came across. Then, Verros was approached during a "mass recruitment" for 's Arrancar Army. Sensing the opportunity to develop at an accelerated rate, Quodrak accepted, and was accepted himself on the basis of his untapped potential.

Whereas he became much stronger after the conversion into an Arrancar, Verros failed to turn out into a powerful warrior Aizen sought, and ended up as a rank and file member of the. Due to his late appearance, he was not appointed a and remained away from the major events of the war between the Arrancar and Shinigami, partially thanks to his own efforts to do so. He survived the destruction of Aizen's organisation and hid in Hueco Mundo with the rest of the survivors.

Over a year later the group was approached by the Wandenreich, a powerful military organisation of the Quincy. Many of the Arrancar were outright killed for their uselessness, but Quodrak managed to convince the Quincy to recruit him as a lowly soldier. Seeing a new opportunity to pursue his goal, Verros happily joined the Soldaten, beginning his scheming anew.
