Character

Nianzol Weizol is a Sternritter of the Wandenreich, marked with the letter W for the power he calls The Wind. Riding inside Yhwach's shadow into the Soul King Palace, this smug, two-tongued Quincy turns aside every blow sent at his master, until a cleverer trap undoes him.

Appearance

Nianzol is a youthful man whose long black hair falls in an unruly shag, his eyes a dull grey in the anime and gold on the manga's color pages. Most unusual is his mouth, which holds a pair of tongues. He wraps himself in a white, collarless, double-breasted coat that opens at each arm and carries four four-pointed stars along its lower hem, and he goes about barefoot.

Personality

Cocky and quick to mock, Nianzol brands Senjumaru Shutara insolent for daring to attack when his power makes every strike futile. He has a well-noted flaw of never quite finishing an explanation, a shortcoming others have pointed out to him more than once. Nor does he waste any concern on his own side, letting the Soldat perish in scalding water rather than lift a finger to save them with his ability.

Abilities

Nianzol's spiritual power stands at or above a captain's, and like any Quincy he draws reishi from his surroundings to fashion his strength. His Schrift, The Wind, bends any attack aimed at a chosen target harmlessly aside rather than blocking it outright, warping even swords out of their path, and he can do so on pure instinct, so that ambushes fail as surely as blows he can see. By flicking a finger he can even fold an enemy's own body out of shape, splitting them in two. His one limit is speed, since a strike too swift for him to register slips past the deflection entirely. Carried into the Soul King Palace within Yhwach's shadow, he waved away the swords of Senjumaru's guards with ease, but she had quietly rebuilt his coat, and when she willed it a bank of spikes erupted through him from inside the garment, leaving his corpse to be tipped off the walkway.
