Salbei

The Salbei (旨い某 (セージ), sēji; German for "Sage", Japanese for "Wizened Ones") are a group of powerful Echt Quincy, established by the monarch of the Vandenreich, to assist with the duty of ruling the organization.

Organization
The Salbei serve as the ruling body of the members of the Vandenreich. Aside from Yhwach himself, they are the strongest Quincy in the Vandenreich. Each member of the Salbei are former members of the Stern Ritter who have been appointed to the group directly by the king. There are twelve members of the organization. Like the Stern Ritter and a select few others of the Vandenreich, each member is assigned a letter and an epithet by the king himself.

Uniforms
The Salbei wear the exact same garb as the Stern Ritter; a distinctive white, ankle-length cloak that features the Vandenreich insignia emblazoned on its back and often, a hood attached to the cloak's collar. Beneath this, the remainder of a personnel's attire usually consists of a heavily customized variant of the standard Vandenreich uniform — a white double-breasted trench coat tied with a black belt, worn with white trousers and boots.

Equipment

 * Vandenreich Medallion: Like all members of the Vandenreich, the Salbei carry around small, palm-sized medallions, which allow them to rob their Shinigami opponents of their Bankai and then use them against them.

Influences

 * The Salbei are heavily based on the, from the Star Wars franchise.
