**Didacus Barnabas** (ディダカス・バルナバス *Didakasu Barunabasu*) is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation "E"-***"The Emperor".***

## Appeareance

Barnabas is a tall Quincy with a broad build, rough features, and characteristic Jade-colored natural hair, tinted black by aesthetic decisions, and red eyes with a white pupil (a unique feature of Didacus's family). He has some dreadlocks done on one side of his head while the left side of his head is shaved and with a vector pattern drawn on the jade colored area, a black goatee and two pairs of moles that are on his eyelids and under his eyes.

His skin is brunette and with lighter colors on his abdomen due to a long scar that crosses this area horizontally. His attire is a variation of the typical white Sternritter uniform, consisting of a short open jacket over a thinner jacket, wide pants that are cut off by knee-length black boots that end with the toe curved upwards. , two crossed belts in the form of "X" and a pair of white gloves with free fingers and the Wandenreich symbol on the back.

## Powers & Abilities

**The Emperor** (皇帝(ザ・エンペラー), *Za Enperā*; japanese for "Emperor"): Didacus is able of projecting an invisible area where all odds turn in his favor, in this area he´s capable of manipulating his entire body to modify it, move organs, cells, etc., Barnabas´s also capable of controlling people with a specific Reiatsu level that is below the average level of a captain. In this zone the odds are constantly changing and this makes every move crucial as a single unmeasured move when the odds are not in your favor can spell defeat for both Didacus and the affected one.

**Reishi Manipulation:** As a Quincy, he primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere, and combines it into his own usable spiritual energy to great arrows that can stretch over a long distance.

**Hirenkyaku:** (飛廉脚, *Flying Screen Step*; *Viz* "**Flying Bamboo-Blind Leg**") is an advanced Quincy movement technique, allowing the user to move at high speed by riding on the flow of Reishi created below their feet.

**Great Spiritual Power:** Didacus's spiritual power is on a level comparable to that of a captain-level Shinigami.

**Enhanced Strength**: Barnabas's strength is quite large as he has been shown to cause great damage to Tetsuzaemon Iba during their brief combat in the first invasion of the Wandenreich.

**Enhanced Durability**: Didacus' durability is surprising as he was able to withstand several hits from Mao Kurosawa's blows before he started to show any real damage, another demonstration of his durability occurs when he was able to stop Kaito Kurosawa's "Ran'ō".

### Spirit Weapon

**Reishi Hammer:** Using his abilities as a Quincy, Didacus can focus spiritual energy and particles to transform into weapons. His signature weapon is a two-meter long, black-handled war hammer for two-handed use. The weight of it when it´s created is enormous, so it´s only possible that it can be wielded by Didacus and special cases such as Zaraki Kenpachi, Gerald Valkirye, Meninas McAllon, Jugram Haschwalth (when he shares "The Almighty" with his majesty) and Ywatch himself.

* **Heilig Bogen:** (神聖弓 (ハイリッヒ・ボーグン), *Hairihhi Bōgun*; German for "*Holy Bow*", Japanese for "*Sacred Bow*") Didacus's Heilig Bogen is depicted as a long red bow that forms above his head, launching four red arrows as he swings his hammer. This weapon is an unusual support due to Barnabas's combat style.
