Qu Fong, Shawlong

シャウロン・クーファン

Shawlong has a long face and black hair that is braided and usually hangs over his shoulder. The remaining part of his mask sits on top of his head, with a section dropping down to cover part of his face. The eye holes in this mask are merely slots. He wears typical Arrancar attire: a white jacket with black lining, a white hakama, and a black sash. He appears to be one of the few Arrancar who actually zips his jacket most of the way up. Consequently, the hole characteristic of Hollows is not visible on Shawlong.
Shawlong is Arrancar number 11, but this does not mean he is the 11th most powerful. Arrancar numbered 11 and above are assigned numbers in the order of their birth, after which the top 10 are removed, given numbers 1-10, and called Espada. Therefore, the true extent of his power is unknown; it is simply known that he is not one of the ten most powerful Arrancar.
Shawlong is unique among the Arrancar we have seen so far, as he seems to be highly intelligent. He acts in a manner that implies he is next in command to Grimmjow during their assault on the material world. He seems to have been a major influence on the idea to go to the material world in the first place, judging by statements made during Grimmjow's argument with Ulquiorra. He claimed that if someone is not worth killing, it is also meaningless to let them live; fueling Grimmjow's argument that Ulquiorra should have just killed Ichigo Kurosaki.
