| - Prior to the mass extermination of the Quincy, hostilities sparked with the Soul Society regarding the destruction of Hollows. The Quincy, being Human, felt it was well within their rights to defend hearth and home against the corrupted spirits and completely eradicated them with their unique abilities. The Shinigami, however, saw the potential threats this method of destruction posed to the delicate cycle of reincarnation and made it their ambition to rectify what could grow into an apocalyptic calamity. The Quincy, being proud and distrusting of leaving their fates in the hands of the death agents elected to trust in their own hands and ignored the requests of the Soul Society to cease their methods; thus sparking what would grow into an inferno of conflict. Those wise within the Quincy population set to preparing for the worst possible outcome of these newfound hostilities and devised numerous methods of elevating themselves to the level of their Shinigami opponents. Amongst these innovations was the Sanrei Glove, a devise utilized to dramatically augment one's abilities, the Lebenskünstler, a pocketwatch whose function was the conversion of kishi into reishi, and finally the Seele Machen: a series swords, five in total, whose internal powers were specifically wrought to combat Shinigami. Their usage was scarce however. The vast majority of the Quincy population were barely [1] level in effectiveness and much preferred utilizing their spirit bows and arrows rather than master an entirely new form of combat. For this cause, production of the Seele Machen was halted after the creation of five blades. Following the genocide, the Seele Machen, along with most Quincy artifacts, vanished into the realm of obscurity. However, two of the Seele Machen, Caliburnus and Durandal, were recently unearthed and are in active use.
