BG9 is a powerful member of the Wandenreich Sternritter with
the designation of "K".

## Origin

BG9s origin is unknown, but at some point in the past it was
inducted into the Wandenreich,
and then later given the designation of "K" by the Quincy Emperor and
Father, Yhwach,
and enducted into the elite fighting force of the Sternritter.

## Creation

BG9 is an antagonist of the *BLEACH*
series that was created by Tite Kubo, It first began
serialization Shueisha's
*Weekly Shonen Jump* in August 2001. It
first appeared in Volume 56 of Bleach, Chapter 495, **Bleeding Guitar Blues**.

It was also shown to be highly analytical, using collected
data to access individuals and figure out their tactics and attacking patters.
Despite this calculated and analytical nature, BG9 seems to fear death, which
is shown when it pleads with Yhwach to spare its life so that it could continue
to fight on his behalf.

BG9 is not seen again until Yhwach announces to all
Sternritter that Uryuu
is to become his successor, and take up the designation of "A". This
announcement shocks the Sternritter, and after the meeting is concluded BG9 and
its fellow Sternritter discuss the announcement which leaves BG9 stating that
only Yhwach himself can explain his decision.

BG9 appears once again during the second invasion of the Soul
Society by the Wandenreich, and quickly proceeds to hunt down Suì-Fēng in order
to kill her. Arriving at the home of Marechiyo Ōmaeda, it begins to question
him as to her whereabouts and when he fails to answer BG9 proceeds to take his
sister hostage. After mockingly asking him if he will be fine with his sister’s
death, Marechiyo tries to attack BG9 only for the attack to fail and BG9 to
draw out his minigun to kill him. Suì-Fēng arrives just in time to destroy the
barrel of his minigun and catch the bullets out of the air before BG9 could
kill Marechiyo.

BG9 notes the he did not detect her arrival and that there is
an obvious change in her appearance as she explains that to him that she was
masking her Reiatsu and that her appearance is to suit her perfected Shunko.
BG9 doubts the fact that her Shunko is complete based on the data he had
collected, which leads to Suì-Fēng berating BG9. Sui-Fend proceeds to power up
her Shunko which causes a large vortex of wind to spiral around her body and
then proceeds to thank BG9 for taking her Bankai as it gave her the push she
needed to finally complete her Shunko. Taking this advantage Suì-Fēng closes
the distance instantly with her advanced speed and lands a powerful blow
directly into BG9 blasting it back a great distance and wrecking the
surrounding area in a violent explosion. As the dust settles however, BG9 is
seen standing there ready to continue the fight and attacks an unsuspecting
Suì-Fēng by extending one of its many tendrils toward her at blinding speed.
Suì-Fēng manages to dodge and proceeds to counter the attack herself.

After exchanging some words with one another, BG9 proceeds to
show off all of the weaponry hidden in his armour and then goes on to mock
Suì-Fēng, stating that it is extremely disappointed in the power of her Shunko
even going so far as to state that it won't even need to use her Bankai against
her to win. BG9 proceeds for fire off numerous missiles towards Suì-Fēng
causing a massive explosion which she manages to avoid only for BG9 to stab her
through her wrist stating that it has gathered plenty of data on her as it
proceeds to set off another massive explosion which engulfs both of them in the
sky.

Later as Kisuke
sends the Shin'eiyaku to all the appropriate captains, BG9 is seen assimilating
data from Suì-Fēng lifeless body after their clash. As Marechiyo approaches
her, he places the Shin'eiyaku in her hand and it is absorbed by her soul
effectively forcing her and her Bankai to hollowfy, which causes a
great disturbance with the primary functions of BG9s body due to the
introduction of hollow Reiatsu. Suì-Fēng proceeds to activate her Bankai,
Jakuhō Raikōben, once again and asks Marechiyo to steady her aim as she fires
off her missile directly at BG9, hitting it and creating a massive explosion in
the sky which engulfs BG9 completely, killing it in the process.

Not long after its defeat at the hands of Suì-Fēng, the wide
spread activation of the Quincy:
Vollständig momentarily revived BG9 and it is then brought into the
Silburn, tied to a post next to fellow Sternritter member Cang Du in front of Yhwach
and Jugram
Haschwalth awaiting judgement for its failure on the field of
battle. BG9 pleads with Yhwach and begs for its life stating that it's still
capable of fighting for him, however Yhwach tells them they should simply be
grateful that they managed to escape with their lives at all. BG9 watches on as
Jugram cleaves into Cang Du with his blade killing him violently when he tries
to act insubordinate towards Jugram.

## Powers & Abilities

### Overview

BG9, as one of the powerful Sternritter, serves as one of the
strongest remaining Quincy in current times. Its high level of intelligence
coupled with its unique ability to gather precise data through its own body by
assimilating the information from its target directly with its tendrils makes
for a deadly match on the field of battle. BG9 is incredibly fast on its feet,
being able to surprise noted speedster Suì-Fēng off guard mid attack and then
counter before she could attempt to stop it. With numerous weapons imbedded and
hidden in BG9's body, it can couple the incredible level of speed it has with a
powerful offensive attack that few can effectively dodge, block or survive. BG9
is also shown to be extremely durable even without the use of Blut, being able
to take a direct attack from Suì-Fēngs perfected Shunko without so much as a
scratch on its body.

As a Quincy, BG9 opts to change his standard ranged weapon
from the standard bow and arrow of a Quincy to something that has been
modernized to be more effective in battle, A Reishi Minigun with a very high
rate of fire, which BG9 can control through the many tendrils in its body. Despite
never showing the ability to utilize other exclusive Quincy techniques such as
Blut Vene, it can be assumed that BG9 can in fact utilize them in combat due to
his high ranking in the Wandenreich command.

While never seen on panel, BG9 was confirmed to have a
Quincy: Vollständig which resuscitated it after its defeat at the hands of
Suì-Fēng and her lieutenant.

### Skills

 inherently known by all pure blooded Quincy. By allowing Reishi to flow
 through their veins, a Quincy is able to dramatically bolster their defence
 to levels where they are able to fend off direct attacks from a Captains
 Shikai. The defence is not completely absolute however, as sufficient power
 is able to tear through it, such as power from a Bankai or by a sufficiently
 to Blut Vene, a skill inherently known by all pure blooded Quincy. By flowing
 Reishi through their arteries‘, a Quincy is able to boost their damage
 potential to incredible levels. Very little else is known about this skill,
 but it's said to be the only way a Quincy is able to deal sufficient and
 decent damage to a Bankai wielding Shinigami.
