Body Type: Slim and athletic, almost skinny

Extra Information: In addition to what is seen above Seis has a tattoo on his left arm in the form of a dense net of black hieroglyph's which run from his collar bone to halfway down his limb. These glyphs appear to be merely artistic renderings to anyone other then Xenmar, who sees them as a type of barcode categorizing his ID number and the markers involved in creating him. It works in a similar manner to the Arrancar numbers and can be used as both a means of contact and power limiting device. He also retains the tail of his genetic donor, although the fur on his is shorter and lacks the heavy fluffy thickness of Chevalier's. As a result of this he is able to keep it concealed most of the time by entwining it around one of his legs and hiding it in his pants.

Personality: Seis has grown up harboring a deep seated resentment towards his “father” and the rest of the Espada, due to the harsh way he has been treated over the years and his belief that they will eventually leave him to rot like the rest of the human race when they one day turn them all into food. Caught between the world of spirit and Hollow in a way never before experienced by anyone, he has developed a very strong independent streak, which keeps him from forming attachments easily. This in conjunction with his sometimes harsh and sarcastic nature causes him to come off on occasion as brash and heartless to those who don’t know him very well. This however is not entirely the case as deep down inside he really is a caring individual who only wishes to make the world a better place then it is now, a trait that he most likely inherited from Chevalier. His days of working under Marin and the Espada are constantly affecting him, plaguing him with visions of what he has done in their service and driving him to secretly seek redemption by doing whatever he can to improve the stance of non-hollows behind the scenes. In spite of this however he is still faithfully loyal to his creator, and will usually endeavor to carry out his orders to the best of his abilities... even if he does sometimes end up bending their meaning a little because of his sympathies.

Bio: Created from a mask fragment obtained from Chevalier after it shielded him from a near-fatal blow during the Battle of New York, Seis is the first successful attempt by Marin to create a truly artificial life form that incorporates attributes from both Hollows and Shinigami. Unlike the first five experiments, Shíyàn Seis was created using equal amounts of reiatsu from Hollow, Shinigami, and Human souls. This blending created a more balanced and stable power source within the newly formed embryo which actually encouraged it's growth as opposed to just consuming it, like what had happened with the previous versions. It also however added an unforeseen element to the equation which even the King of Hollows could not have predicted, a human's sense of self and with it a conscience. What had been made truly was new life and not some simple puppet soldier, similar to what had happened in the Soul Society during Operation Spearhead or with the accidental creation of the Bounts.

Intrigued by the results of his experiment, Marin began to more closely observe his new creation by taking him under his wing and later having him trained in various combat and practical arts to test his natural abilities. The young construct showed a particular talent for swordplay and moving about unobtrusively which led his creator to believe that he'd make an excellent tool for his coming plans. This revelation led to Seis being trained as the unofficial “Hand”of the Hollow King from behind the scenes, moving about in places where his master could not go and bringing back information while acting as an unseen yet rumored deterrent against division amongst the ranks by quietly eliminating threats before they can become an issue. Because of this he has been forced to hide his true nature and purpose from the world by taking on many various roles; to the outside world he is merely Marin's lowly human aide, to the Espada a strange pet that their lord seems to like keeping around for mysterious reasons, and to his creator an invaluable tool with which they are able to keep the other arrancar in line.

Born in the parallel dimension discovered by his creator: Zenopolis, during his accidental exile, Seis' early years were spent under constant threat of death and as a result he was forced to grow up quickly. The emotional scars from this were made even worse by the unspeakable techniques used by Marin to forcibly manifest both the young clone's hollow mask and zanpakuto in order to increase their chances of survival. The term trial by fire pales in comparison to the things he was forced to experience during his time trapped in that lost world.

Following their escape from Zenopolis, Marin once again began gathering his forces, this time much more subtly so as not to draw the attention of the other races. His new plan called for the creation of a front company within the World of the Living, a place where he and his followers could plan their activities in secret and conduct their business away from the prying eyes of the Shinigmai and their allies. As a part of this stratagem the King of Hollows would require a sort of secret police force with which to keep the chaotic and bloodthirsty forces under his command in line, Seis was to be this force. Due to the nature of the clone's birth, Marin was the only one in the world who knew what his creation was truly capable of and as a result felt he would be the ideal tool with which to secretly keep his minions in line.

His training for this new task was supervised by a rogue shinigami named Bai-Wulan, a former member of the Omitsukido who had gone into hiding following the Civil War and taken up the ways of a monk. Keeping his true identity secret from his teacher, Seis was able to convince him to share his knowledge, learning several Chinese and Korean martial arts such as kuhapdo, hapkido, kumdo, baguazhang, and yiquan as a result. In addition to this he was also able to learn how to finally speak with the spirit of his weapon and the basic precepts of the stealth techniques utilized by the 2nd Division which had allowed his mentor to remain hidden for so long. His lessons were made easier by the racial memories lurking at his core, allowing him to subconsciously draw upon the knowledge of the souls which had been used to create him and thus advance quickly through his training. As a result of this, after almost a year of training and progressing through a regimen that would have been harsh for even the toughest individual, he was able to emerge with near mastery level in all of the martial and stealth forms which he had pursued.

As the final test of his new abilities, as well as a loyalty test to Marin, he was ordered to kill his master so that no records or witnesses of his training existed. These orders hurt Seis at his very core, as he had come to love his teacher like a mentor or even a father figure. Having received more love and concern from him then he ever had from his creator and supposed master. Unsure of how to proceed he came to Bai-Wulan in secret and told the rogue shinigami what he had been tasked to do, as his mentor had much experience with such things thanks to his days with the Omitsukido. His teacher seemed unfazed by his pupil's story, claiming to have known all along what was going on and how it would end, yet training the young hybrid anyway because of the potential he had sensed within him. He went on to say that it mattered little as he was more then ready to accept his fate at this point, having successfully completed Seis's training and instilled within him a sense of what was right and wrong, a trait he could never have learned from the one he called Master. That revelation cinched it for him, he could not kill this man who had showed him such kindness, even in the face of his own demise. He instead worked very carefully, eventually faking his mentor's death and helping him to escape to a place where the reaches of ArranCorp had yet to spread, and most likely never will.

Since that time he has carried out several operations under the King of Hollow's orders to gather secret intelligence on the Arrancar and the other races, as well as quietly eliminating threats to his Master and his goals. Each time he is put into action he secretly questions the motivation behind what he is doing, sometimes even to the point that he has secretly bent the rules of his mission objectives to allow an innocent to escape. For the most part however he is style loyal to his creator and will continue to secretly serve him from the shadows until he is able to reconcile the conflict within himself.
