Draeco Björnholdt

Draeco's appearance in TYBW.

*"All this blabbering nonsense about "manly this", "manly that". I'll show you the strength of a real man whose been alive from hundreds of years. This is my Schrift."*

Draeco Ulixes Björnholdt (ドレイコ ・ ユリクス ・ビヨルホルト, *Doreko Yurikussu Biyorunhoruto*) is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the greek designation **"ε"** - **"The Epsilon"**.

## Appearance

Draeco is an old-appearing male with long, white hair that is entirely slicked back, and sharp tufts on the sides of his hair. Draco also has a shaved mustache, but a sharp, short beard that is connected to his shaved sideburns. His hair and beard gives him more of an intimidate animal appearance.

Draeco's stands 6 feet and 11 inches tall, wearing a side-cape that has a high, black color. Under his cape is a sleeveless regular Quincy soldier uniform that has a large, black, star cross on his torso. The uniform is accompanied by a black and gold belt with a sword, and ankle, length shoes. Lastly, underneath his uniform top is a skin-tight, collared shirt that hugs the muscles around his torso and arms.

## Personality

Draeco is a blunt and serious man, but isn't cruel like most other Quincy and doesn't like long, pointless conversations. He's slightly more laid back and calmed, where other older Quincy members believes he lost his edge from long ago. Draeco's more of a listener as he allow his enemies to talk as their last words before they may have their untimely death.

Draeco also hates modern Quincy, specifically the men, because he believe they are too "girly" and "fashionable". But, he is more friendly and humble, usually more understanding than other Quincy as long as he lives by his own standards.

## Plot

Draeco is one of the oldest Quincy members of the Sternritter, and was apart of Ywach's Army several years ago. He had no high positions as he did now, and he was the associate of Zeidritz when he was alive. After the death of Zeidritz by Genryusai Shingekuni Yamamoto, Draeco disappeared for a long time and returned many years later after being gathered by Jugram Haschwalth when Ywach's return was supposely happening.

### The Thousand-Year Blood War arc

Draeco appears to at the **Blue Stream Gate** during the invasion. From there, Draeco infiltrates the Kidō Corps without evening using his physical bare hands, to display his power against all Kidō users so that they could not be called from back up, nor' reseal any entrances that may be useful to the invasion.

He physically wrestled **Kaiwan** and threw him into the gate, where it collapsed open from the strength of the giant.

## Power & Abilities

**The Epsilon** - (derived from the Greek alphabetical letter "" for Epsilon, meaning permittivity, a term in electromagnetism.)

Draeco utilizes **The Epsilon** which exherts visible electric Reishi from his body into his surroundings, producing an electromagnetic environment. He can left any physical objects to his will, and use them as extensions of his combative Reishi. This interferes with gravity, and can also cause severe destruction if Draeco releases his Reishi feld, causing debris to fall amd crushing into the ground.

He uses this to crush several shinigami, mainly ones of the Kido Corps.

* **Blut Restoration**: Draeco can use Blut Vene to stitch wounds back together, or reconnect lost body parts that were cut off or ejected from his body, and mend them back to be more durable than before. However, the greater the injury, the slower his restoration is. Additionally, Draeco's Blut Vene was ineffective when he had body parts physicslly destroyed and torn from his body, which was beyond repair.

* **Broadsword -** Draeco also carries a sheathed broadsword on his hips, made out of a special silver that works like a Qincy's reishi when exterminating Hollows.
