| - Tōshirō Hitsugaya (日番谷冬獅郎, Hitsugaya Tōshirō) is the Captain of the First Division and the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 hailing from an alternate timeline. After inheriting this position from his predecessor, Hitsugaya rallied the remnants of the Gotei 13 following the Diamond Dust Rebellion and fought valiantly against Aizen Sosuke and his Army of Arrancar in what is known as the Hundred Year War. Though they suffered horrific and often tragic losses, Hitsugaya lead the Gotei 13 and her allies in a climactic battle against Aizen in Hueco Mundo, unleashing the full brunt of his anger and power upon the traitor and securing victory once and for all. However, the war had decimated Human World; entire countries turned into battlegrounds, mountains of corpses lining the streets of every city. Nearly four-fifths of the total population dead; most were killed in the ensuing battle, others were hollowfied and turned into the very monsters that slew them. The lucky ones found themselves drafted into shock troops for Soul Society. With the barriers between worlds so damaged, the three dimensions began falling into one another. This resulted in a singular but disjointed dimension where pockets of one dimension intersected with another. The world had become unstable, barely able to sustain life as we know it. Attacks by remnant Hollows were rampant, and the Gotei 13 struggled to maintain the peace. For all the good victory had brought, it appeared that they had simply entered into a new kind of war. In an effort to save his world, Hitsugaya acquired the Ōin, and used its powers he traveled to the Valley of Screams in an attempt to use its abilities to separate the three worlds. Instead his actions destroyed the already fragile bonds separating the dimension and ripped out tears linking to alternate realities. Fueled by his desire to save his own timeline, Hitsugaya and the remaining Captains led an expedition into these strange new planes of existence in an effort of finding a permanent solution to the growing destabilization of their reality.
