Ulquiorra Cifer
Ulquiorra Schiffer is the Cuarta Espada, signified by the "4" tattooed to his chest.
His name is believed to either come from a furniture designer named Patricia Urquiola or a variation of "the one who cries" in Spanish which is El Que Llora.
As an albino Hollow ostracized by other dark-colored Hollows, Ulquiorra lived a life of loneliness as he lamented his existence before being found by Aizen and made an Arrancar.
As a member of the Espada whose aspect of death represents nothingness, Ulquiorra is emotionless with an inability to comprehend the meaning of "heart" and supports his firm belief that what his eye cannot see does not exist.
Bent on completing tasks set to him by So-suke Aizen, Ulquiorra has no qualms about attacking his own allies if they impede his intent and deems anyone he finds not to be of particular interest to be "trash," and therefore expendable.
The remainder of Ulquiorra's Hollow mask, partially destroyed before his conversion, forms a broken helmet with a curved horn and covers the left half of his head.
His Hollow hole has moved since his first appearance; when first introduced it is at the base of his neck, but in later appearances, it is centered just below his collarbone.
Grimmjow Jagerjaquez notes that Ulquiorra tends to stab opponents in the same location as his Hollow hole whenever he is particularly interested in a battle, though it is unclear if Ulquiorra is conscious of this habit.
Ulquiorra is very analytical: he almost accurately theorizes the means behind Orihime Inoue's abilities, and recognizes that Ichigo Kurosaki's power constantly fluctuates between very weak to greater than his own strength.
He also refrains from killing a person unless necessary, twice sparing Ichigo and proclaiming he would not harm Orihime because he had not been ordered to.
He can replay events he has seen to others by removing and crushing his left eye, which turns into dust and flows around those to whom Ulquiorra is relaying information.
While other Hollows traded defensive abilities for raw strength upon becoming Arrancars, Ulquiorra maintained his high-speed regeneration abilities with only his brain and internal organs unregenerable.
When released, his Zanpakuto-, Murciélago Murushierago, Spanish for "Bat," kanji translates as "Giant Black-winged Demon" creates two large black bat-like wings on his back.
His Hollow helmet is complete and sports two large horns, while his Arrancar uniform appears more form-fitting at the top, becoming robe-like towards the bottom.
Additionally, Ulquiorra is apparently unique among the Espadas in that he has a second release, Resurrección Segunda Etapa Resurekushion Segunda Eta-pa, Spanish for "Resurrection Second Stage", kanji translates as "Sword's Release: Second Level".
He becomes demonic and black-furred with clawed hands and feet, his sclera turn green, grows a long thin prehensile tail, and gains markings similar to blood flowing freely from his Hollow hole.
Ulquiorra's second release is said to be secret to everybody, even from Aizen.
In both forms, Ulquiorra can create long "lances" of energy called Lanza del Relámpago Ransa deru, which, when thrown, can cause immense explosions that dwarf even the massive dome of Las Noches.
Ulquiorra notes that the powerful technique is difficult to control, as seen when he misses Ichigo with his first one; to compensate, he can produce more should his first miss the target.
Due to Ulquiorra being the only espada with a second release he may be considered the strongest espada.
Ulquiorra is one of the first Arrancars to be introduced, appearing alongside Yammy Riyalgo in the real world on Aizen's orders to seek out Ichigo.
The pair leaves without killing him when Ulquiorra sees Ichigo's current strength as no threat to Aizen.
He does, however, remark that he is concerned over Ichigo's growth potential, stating that if he should pose a threat, then he would kill Ichigo himself.
He later kidnaps Orihime for Aizen, serving as her jailer and forcing her to remain alive for Aizen's use.
When Ichigo leads his group to Las Noches, Ulquiorra confronts Ichigo and provokes him into fighting.
He easily withstands and defeats Ichigo's Hollow form, then leaves Ichigo for dead.
Much later, after escaping imprisonment by the Espada Grimmjow's Caja de Negación, Ulquiorra engages Ichigo in another battle before taking Orihime to Aizen.
Entrusted to guard Los Noches while Aizen and his forces engage the Soul Reapers in the Fake Karakura Town, Ulquiorra engages Ichigo in a final battle that leads him to take their conflict above Los Noches to fight at his full power.
However, thinking that he killed him, Ulquiorra unknowingly finds himself facing a semi-Hollowified Ichigo with his internal organs heavily damaged.
Mortally wounded, managing to get him back to normal, Ulquiorra asks Ichigo to finish him off before he dissolves and the battle between them remains unresolved.
But Ichigo, not intending the fight to result in this manner refuses to.
As he dies, Ulquiorra comes to understand the meaning of "heart" when an unafraid Orihime reaches out to him as his body dissolves into the wind.
He is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa in the Japanese version, Tony Oliver in the English dub of the anime (thought Steven Blum voiced him in Bleach: Shattered Blade).
