Asguiaro Ebern is an Arrancar who serves as a soldier of the Wandenreich. Sent to test and stall Ichigo Kurosaki with a Medallion built to steal Bankai, he denies his Arrancar past and pledges himself wholly to the Quincy empire and its emperor, Yhwach.
Ebern is a tall, slender Arrancar whose short red hair sweeps back into peaks on either side of his head. A mask fragment pierced by three holes covers his left eye, and his right eyebrow angles oddly upward. His attire is a white trench coat, long and double-breasted, fitted with shoulder straps and cinched by a black belt and ornate buckle over white trousers and matching trench boots.
A haughty streak defines Ebern, who openly doubts Ichigo's strength and assumes only the boy's Bankai could ever threaten him. He is also mulish, flatly refusing to climb off Ichigo's bed even when ordered, and he squabbles readily with fellow soldier Luders Friegen. Before Yhwach, however, all defiance drains away into fearful obedience. Having entered the Quincy empire's service, Ebern casts off his old identity as a Hollow and an Arrancar entirely.
Ebern materializes in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom, announcing his full name before being kicked out the window for refusing to leave. Drawn into the open, he denies being an Arrancar, presents himself as a Quincy, and conjures a large weapon to test whether Ichigo recognizes its power. He grows gleeful once Ichigo unleashes his Bankai and triggers his Medallion to steal it, wounding Ichigo's arm, but Ichigo tears free and answers with a Getsuga Tenshō. Left badly hurt and baffled that the Bankai never vanished, Ebern slips away through a shadow, claiming it hides only the chosen.
Back at Silbern, he kneels before Yhwach as Luders Friegen arrives, and their bickering ends when Yhwach severs Luders' arm and kills him outright, shocking Ebern. Yhwach then turns to Ebern, judging that he can be neither blamed nor praised: he failed to defeat Ichigo yet slowed him enough to matter. Naming him a foundation of the coming peace and his task complete, Yhwach beheads him.

Five Bleach female characters, ranked and settled. Yoruichi sits at number five, the spot nobody expects, and our number one is an Arrancar with a soft heart....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
Asguiaro Ebern is an Arrancar serving as a soldier of the Wandenreich. He is sent to test and stall Ichigo Kurosaki using a Medallion built to steal Bankai, and he denies his Arrancar past in favor of full loyalty to Yhwach's Quincy empire.
Ebern does not gain true Quincy powers; he is an Arrancar who joins the Wandenreich, casts off his Hollow identity, and presents himself as a Quincy while serving Yhwach.
As an Arrancar, Ebern retains a mask fragment pierced by three holes covering his left eye, a remnant of his Hollow origin that he otherwise denies once he pledges himself to the Quincy empire.
After Ebern fails to steal Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai and is badly wounded by a Getsuga Tenshō, he reports back to Yhwach at Silbern, who judges his effort a partial success and then beheads him.
Ebern's Medallion was designed to steal an opponent's Bankai, and he triggered it against Ichigo Kurosaki after Ichigo released his own Bankai, wounding Ichigo's arm in the process.
