Name: Gabriel Zapatero
Age: 700, but looks 20.
Height: 6'0
Weight: 76Kg
Division: Espada
Rank: Tercera
Appearance: Gabriel has long, black hair usually kept in a ponytail. His right eye is blue but the left one, which is covered by the remains of his mask which cover his left eye and has teeth still connected to it, is yellow. His skin is pale and he looks to be of average build. However, under his clothes he has a very fit body.
He wears a standard Arrancar uniform but, in addition, it has a large white coat meant to imitate a Captain's Haori. It lacks sleeves and has black lining. On the back of the coat is a large number three meant to signify his rank.
His Hollow Hole is located over the left side of his chest, where the heart should be, and he has a number three tattoo located on his cheek under his left eye.
Personality: Gabriel is mostly a silent individual, rarely acting until he must. He is very calm and never gives in to anger. As such, he is an excellent tactician in one-on-one combat. He considers the Captains of the Gotei 13 at a similar level to the Espada and is proud of his title as having the fastest Sonído of the Arrancar. He is not fond of sword-fighting, preferring to use hand-to-hand combat, but will occasionally use his blade if overwhelmed.
Despite his seemingly uncaring nature, he is extremely loyal. He holds his fellow Espada in high respect and is unwilling to leave a fellow Arrancar behind when on a mission. Whenever one does die, he often creates a small grave for them. His loyalty is his strongest trait by far. As a result, he will blindly follow the King until he dies, no matter what it might do to him or where it will take him. And, as a result, he is also extremely loyal to the other Espada and considers them his brothers and sisters in arms.
He is a calm individual but even he is unable to fully control his emotions at times. When he is betrayed by someone, his rage is such that all of Las Noches will shake from his spiritual pressure alone. His anger will get the best of him and he will kill the traitor, no matter who he or she is. He is also quite shy around women, although no one usually notices due to him having a quiet nature anyway.
History: When he was alive, Gabriel was a famous, or rather, infamous, thief who was considered the best in his business alongside his partner, Sakata Gorozaemon, who planned his heists and sometimes took part in them. The two were unstoppable. Every time they made a move, no one could keep up with them. After a large heist on one of the feudal lords however, they were threatened greatly. It was hard to make a move as now the entire country was after them.
However, he would not be defeated so easily. He continued his line of work. However, one day, he was caught by surprise and captured. At his execution, he learned that his best friend, Gorozaemon, had sold him out for money and peace. He cursed his name with his last breath. As a Hollow, he then went back and killed him. As a result of this, he now regards loyalty as the most important thing in a subordinate. If they are not loyal, he will kill them.
From there onwards, he gathered a team of Hollows to help him climb the ladder and become a Vasto Lorde, the most powerful kind of Hollow there is and always has been. Over the years, they continued eating other Hollows. More and more they ate and higher and higher they climbed. But, like Grimmjow Jaggerjack before him, he was betrayed by his comrades and, in anger, killed them, save the only one who didn't rebel. Not long afterwards, he became a Vasto Lorde while his follower was still a Gillian.
With his only follower left, he travelled to Las Noches where he was taken in by the King and transformed into a powerful being, an Arrancar. Ever since, he has devoted his life to serving the King as his trusty Tercera Espada, third most powerful in his army.
Abilities: Like all Espada, Gabriel is a master of the Hollow abilities such as Cero, Bala and Sonído. He is adept at close combat and is seen as the fastest Arrancar in existence, due to his unique mastery of Sonído. As such, it is hard just to land a hit on him. His strength is normal for someone of his level, as is his endurance, but his speed is said to make up for it. He has superb swordsmanship but doesn't use his blade often.
In his released form, his speed increases dramatically and his wings become powerful enough to create shockwaves. He gains a new helmet-shaped mask to replace his old one and he gains a new variant on Sonído called 'Sonído Pulsacion' (Beating Sound) which uses both Sonído and his wings in conjunction to increase his speed to the point where noone can match him in speed, giving him the title of having the current fastest Sonído. He can also use the former fastest Espada, Zomari's, technique, Sonído Gemelos (Twin's Sound).
Zanpakutoh: Gabriel's Zanpakutoh is shaped much like a rapier meant for fencing, with a light blade and a knuckle bow extending down from the crosspiece protecting the hilt. The guard and knuckle bow are golden in color and the hilt is covered in black hilt-wrapping. The blade is double-edged and quite long yet light, designed for thrusting.
With the release command "Vibrate, Anisoptera" ('Vibrate, Dragonfly'), the blade disappears as he transforms into his true form. When released, Gabriel gains two sets of dragonfly-like wings, one large pair on his shoulders and a second, smaller pair located at the small of his back. He gains a long tail with a mouth on the end that can fire Bala and Cero and his wings beat fast enough to allow him to fly.
