Yhwach

Yhwach (Yu-habahha) is the sovereign of the Wandenreich and supposed progenitor of all Quincies.

He has some history with Yamamoto who failed to kill him a millennia ago.

For unknown reasons, Yhwach was sealed away for nine centuries and nine decades until he was freed, and spent the next nine years stealing the powers from "impure" Quincies to regain his power through his Auswählen ability.

Among his victims were Masaki Kurosaki as she protected her son Ichigo from the Hollow Grand Fisher, and Kanae Katagiri, Uryu- 's mother.

It appears his time imprisoned has left his sanity in question; he claims everything he is doing is for peace despite his sadistic behavior and dark humor.

Months after Aizen's defeat, Yhwach conquers Hueco Mundo by defeating its current leader Tier Harribel and imprisoning her while employing Arrancars as foot soldiers for the Wandenreich as a means to invade Soul Society.

Learning of Ichigo battling Quilge, Yhwach decides to have the Stern Ritter invade the Soul Society.

During the attack, Yhwach secretly leaves for the First Division Barracks to recruit Aizen, letting the shape shifted Royd Lloyd take his place.

After Royd is defeated by Yamamoto, Yhwach arrives and to execute Royd, before taunting Yamamoto to release his Bankai and steal it.

Yhwach then severs Yamamoto in half with one swing and then obliterates his body.

Shortly after, he is then confronted by Ichigo Kurosaki and has a brief battle with him, during which he reveals that his mother Masaki was a Quincy before departing.

Several days later, as Ichigo learned of his ties to the Quincy through both his mother and Zangetsu's likeness to how Yhwach looked 1000 years ago, Yhwach has Haschwalth bring Uryu- Ishida before him.

Telling Uryu- that he was only impure Quincy who survived the effects of Auswählen, having a power that surpasses his own, Yhwach makes the young Quincy his heir before returning to the Soul Society to enact the final phase of his plan.
