Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio

A tall, well-built man of pale complexion, Dordoni wears his black hair swept into shapes resembling a pair of small horns, mirrored by the horned plate of Hollow mask on his brow. He has blue eyes and a van-dyke beard and mustache. His Arrancar garb is heavily personalized, with fringed sleeves, a red sash at the waist, shoulder pads, and a front that opens to show the black shirt beneath, plus an earring in his right ear. After Mayuri revives him, a long stitched seam runs across his face over the bridge of the nose.

Dordoni plays the clown at first, muffing a dramatic entrance and hacking through the dust of his own failure, yet he sharpens into a serious opponent once a fight is joined. His obsession is regaining his lost seat among the Espada, and he goaded Ichigo toward his Bankai and Hollow mask by any means, even lunging at little Nel to force the boy's full strength out. He is fond of tagging younger fighters with Spanish nicknames such as nino and bebe, and pointedly calls his old master Aizen-dono rather than the more reverent sama. For all his ambition, he is not without honor: he came to respect Ichigo, sent him off to grow stronger, and stayed behind to hold off his pursuers.

Dordoni had once held a seat among the Espada, though which rank is unknown, and lost it after Aizen obtained the Hogyoku, sliding down to the 103rd Arrancar and the Privaron ranks. He ambushed Ichigo and Nel deep within Las Noches and, stung by Ichigo dismissing his high number as weakness, revealed his past and unleashed his Resurreccion, Giralda, whose twin cyclones and bird-like extensions kept him aloft and let him strike from range.

Bent on facing Ichigo at his peak, he shrugged off blows, absorbed Nel's redirected Cero, and finally threatened her life to bait out Ichigo's Hollow mask. The instant Ichigo summoned it, Dordoni was cut down. Nel's healing drool roused him, and he attacked once more only to be slashed again and left with a broken sword. When the Exequias came for the wounded intruders, he turned to fight them off despite his ruin, thanking Ichigo in his heart and telling him to become a demon in order to survive. He was killed, and his corpse, carrying a record of Ichigo's Reiatsu, later ended up in Szayelaporro's vault and then in Mayuri's hands.

During the second Wandenreich assault, Mayuri Kurotsuchi brought him back as part of a Corpse Unit to counter Giselle Gewelle's army of zombie Shinigami. Rebuilt, he could dose enemies with a postcognition drug spread through his blood, trapping them in a mental time loop, and he battled the reanimated dead alongside Luppi and Cirucci, squaring off against Kensei Muguruma even as Mayuri kept him in line with jolts to the brain.
