Asguiaro Ebern (アズギアロ・イーバーン, Azugiaro Ībān) is an Arrancar in the service of the Vandenreich. Appearing suddenly in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom, just as Ichigo inquires about Ryūnosuke Yuki's name, Ebern responds instead and declares his own full name, before asking if there were any other questions. Firmly told by Ichigo to get off of his bed, Ebern refuses to comply despite Ichigo repeating himself and so, is kicked out of the window. As Ebern holds his head outside and wonders why he was struck, Ichigo demands to know what business he has with him, but Ebern appears confused. Drawn away from Ichigo's house, Ebern denies being an Arrancar upon being questioned and attempts to show himself as a Quincy. Forming a large weapon, he asks Ichigo if his powers seemed familiar. Taunting Ichigo as he attacks, Ebern becomes elated when Ichigo finally activates his Bankai, noting to himself that it will be the end of the Substitute Shinigami's Bankai. After preparing a special technique and reciting an incantation, he manages to damage Ichigo's arm, but Ichigo quickly breaks free from the attack and fires a Getsuga Tenshō towards a stunned Ebern. As the smoke clears, a heavily wounded Ebern furiously wonders why Ichigo's Bankai did not vanish but is surprised by Ichigo from behind, pointing his blade at side of his face. Ichigo states that he is taking Ebern back for questioning but Ebern escapes by using a shadow and informs Ichigo that it only hides the "chosen ones". While kneeling in front of his leader, an injured Ebern witnesses the death of Luders Friegen. His superior states that he can neither blame nor praise Ebern as while he did not defeat Ichigo, he slowed him enough to prevent any intervention. He then declares Ebern to be a foundation of peace before killing him as well. (Source: Bleach Wikia)
