Jugram Haschwalth in "HEART OF WOLF"

Lives that were saved by good fortune must be swept aside by equal ill fortune.

Jugram Haschwalth (ユーグラム・ハッシュヴァルト, Yūguramu Hasshuvaruto) is a Quincy and the Wandenreich's Sternritter Grandmaster (星十字騎士団最高位シュテルンリッター・グランドマスター, Shuterunrittā Gurandomasutā; Japanese for "Highest-Ranked of the Star-Cross Knights' Order"),[3] with the designation B: The Balance.[5][6] He has served as Yhwach's imperial adviser (皇こう帝てい補ほ佐さ, Kōtei Hosa) since joining him[3][7] and is his substitute while the emperor sleeps, taking on the Mask of Ruler (支し配はい者しゃの仮か面めん, Shihaisha no Kamen) in his stead;[4][8][9] Yhwach considers Haschwalth his "other half" as a Quincy who, like himself, can give power to others.[10][11]

Appearance

Haschwalth is a tall, young-looking man with a thin build and long blonde hair, which descends past his shoulders, and blonde eyelashes.[12] His usual attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak, a calf-length trench coat (thigh length in the first attack on Soul Society[13]) commensurate of his rank with dark green fur running down from his left collar to the front of the coat, a green belt with a golden belt buckle, [14] along with white trousers and shoes.[15][16] When informing Yamamoto of the coming war, his cloak had been exchanged with a hooded-cape, which featured a black mask and a thin black sash diagonally encircling his body from the cape's left epaulette.[17]

As a child, Haschwalth wore a light-colored dress shirt and carried a bow and arrow for hunting. His hair was also much shorter, only reaching his chin.[18] As a teenager, Haschwalth wore a sleeveless black shirt and light-colored pants, as well as white gloves. He carried a medium-sized double-edged sword in a black sheath at his hip.[19] After joining the Sternritter and becoming the captain, Haschwalth wore a dark-colored cape and a standard Wandenreich cap.

Personality

While speaking in a much more casual manner to Yhwach than some, Haschwalth still retains a highly respectful tone.[21] He is very loyal to Yhwach, preventing another Sternritter from recklessly entering Yhwach's chambers in outrage of his chosen successor and calmly stating it is Yhwach's decision to name the successor, not his own,[22] as well as believing that he (and everyone else) is prepared and willing to live and die for Yhwach's continued existence.[23] When he realized that Uryū Ishida was not willing to sacrifice anything to gain power from Yhwach, Haschwalth flew into a rage and attempted to slaughter the young Quincy.[24]

Haschwalth is quite confident in his abilities: when the Wandenreich invades Soul Society for a second time, Haschwalth confronts Captain-Commander Shunsui Kyōraku and declares they will instantly exterminate the enemy army.[25] Haschwalth is a man who firmly believes in balance, implying that a fight must be fair and that if one's life is saved by good luck, it will be terminated with an equal amount of misfortune. He acted on this and attacked a fellow Sternritter despite the disadvantages it posed in doing so on the battlefield.[26]

He is perceptive to figure out Uryū's reason of joining the Wandenreich simply to avenge his mother's death, and seemed rather displeased when Uryū showed shock at being informed that he drank Yhwach's blood and attained a piece of the Father of the Quincy's soul.[27] While in posses
