Chest Hole Location/Size: Right side of his left hand
Broken Mask Location/Description: His mask is actually his entire left eye. It looks and works like an normal eye would, expect for the fact that it glows red.
Personality: Damien is quiet and reserved and does not often speak much. A bit cold, he is something of an enigma and does not often show any emotion other than his typical indifference towards seemingly everything around him, appearing callous and aloof. That is, besides boredom. This is not to say that he is incapable of emotion, for to say so would be a lie, however he is seldom to show what is going on within that head of his. Damien is a person who prefers to stay as far away from people as possible. When he comes upon his other fellow Espada, his eyes will usually close and he moves on. When it comes to business, he is just the same. When given an order from his superiors, he is the same. His voice has become a very rare thing indeed. It is not that he does not trust people, but it is because that he does trust them. He is refined and does not usually find things funny. This is not because he is not humorous, or too serious, but that he holds a very high persona.
Likes: Solitude, Darkness, and power
Dislikes: Comrades, arrogance, and traitors

Resurrección Ability:
Espíritu de Los Cielos (Spirit of the Skies): In his release state, Damien is shown to have the ability to generate blueish-black energy swords. He uses them as melee weapons to attack his opponent. It is also known that he is able to change the swords into daggers and throw them, with each dagger as powerful as a cero.
Enhanced Speed: His speed is greatly enhanced, able to move great distances in an instant.
Enhanced Hierro: His Hierro has also vastly increased in strength to the point where any kido or any attack below an Arrancars, or Vice-Captains's level will have little to know affect on him.
Enhanced Spiritual Power: Even though, being an Espada, Damien already possess immense spiritual power. Once released his dark blue, black outlined spiritual energy permeates the area, it is intense enough to create a profound effect on others as well as to cause what appears as a waterfall to cascade down on him and the following area.
-Attacks:
Cero Cielos (Sky Cero): Presumably, Damien's signature finishing move. Unlike other ceros, the Cero Cielos is not fired in a long concentrated blast, but instead is charged into the shape of a giant feather, and then is shot into the air. In about five seconds after it is shot into the air, the feather divides quickly into hundreds of smaller feathers that rain down over the area. Each feather contains the pure power of a cero.
Sword of the Sky (Estoque de Los Cielos): Damien will hold his right hand out in front of him as he creates a long and slender sword-like weapon using his spiritual power. The sword is twice as powerful as the original. Damien uses this sword as an gesture of respect. The sword itself can cut through steel with ease and when thrown will disperse into tiny needle like darts that will explode on contact.
Golpear Tormenta (Storm Strike): Damien flaps his wings causing a large gust of wind. There are hundreds small orbs of cero in the wind, 3 feet in diameter, that explode with the force of a hand grenade upon contact. These cero move a little faster than kido spells. The wind from the wings is also strong enough to throw off projectiles, making it hard to land far away attacks.
Segunda Etapa
Segunda Etapa Description: Before entering his Segunda Etapa, Damien always states, "In honor of your bravery, I will show you my pain, your despair." Damien's reiatsu will then erupt around him in the form of a blue and black vortex, that encases his entire body, and then bursts outwards, as he reveals his true form. A winged being shrouded in a golden aura: Segunda Release
Segunda Etapa Ability:
- All of the previous abilities given to him when he first releases, but magnified due to entering his Segunda Etapa.
-Attacks:
Spears of the Sky and Earth: Similar to his ability to create energy swords, Damien will grab two of his feathers and rip them off. Once ripped off, they will form into two spears, one of the sky, which is in his left hand, and one of the earth which is in his right hand. The two spears are used as his main form of attacks while in his Segunda Release, with out them he cannot use any of his other techniques. Spears of the Sky and Earth
Wrath of Gaia(Prerequisite Spears of the Sky and Earth): In order to perform this technique, Damien will first thrust his Spear of the Earth into the ground, and then pour his spiritual pressure into it, causing jagged, and extremely sharp spikes of earth to shoot up all around the area; however, this technique varies depending on what type of terrain, Damien is fighting. If it is a sandy/muddy terrain, it will cause the ground all around him to sink and engulf his targets. If it is a watery terrain, it will cause giant water spouts to shoot up and create a whirlpool. If it is a rocky or hard terrain, it will cause jagged/sharp spikes of earth to appear from the ground. Damien has found many uses for these effects, including defensive ones. In order to stop him from using any of these techniques, one must stop him from using his spears, in other-words, take away his spears and he will not be able to use this skill.
The Sky's Embrace(Prerequisite Spears of the Sky and Earth): In order to perform this technique, Damien will hold his Spear of the Sky in the air, and it will disperse into hundreds of feathers that are then spread over the area. Once they are spread, the feathers will glow a bright gold color and then explode. The explosion are not strong enough to cause major or life threatening damage, but serve mostly as distractions, so that Damien can use his true attack. Using the explosions to his advantage, Damien will pull off yet another feather, but this time he will create a golden sword, that he will use to strike his opponent.
Skills and Abilities:
Keen Perception: Damien is a skilled analyst, being fit to perceive actions in his immediate environment and come to understand them in a short amount of time. He can easily perceive a persons subtle habits, which ultimately allows him to almost predict their movements based on those habits, as he is fit to see through some of the techniques and abilities utilized by someone as powerful as the Primera. While he admits to having no sanity or common sense, Damien is actually very perceptive and notices traits in people that others wouldn't notice and sees what drives a person's actions.
Immense Spiritual Power: Even by Espada-level standards, Damien has shown to have tremendous spiritual energy. The force of his spiritual power is also great enough to, without any visible effort, bring several 3rd Seat Shinigami and lower to their knees. He has commented that it takes a lot for him to keep his spiritual energy in check, hinting at the vastness of it. Damien has shown that his reiatsu is powerful enough to nullify abilities, namely Binding kidō spells and low level destructive spells. When releasing his spiritual pressure, it can cause a shockwave strong enough to affect a considerable radius.
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: While in battle his power is said to be stronger then any other. His power is unrivaled by anyone who came before him or anyone since. While hating the concept of having to engage in a fight, Dante is presumably one of the most proficient swordsmen in all of Hueco Mundo. He usually swings with more strength in his left hand then his right; however, he can easily switch or balance the strength between his two hands, much to the surprise of his opponent. His fighting style involves evasion and attacking an opponent either in the front or back using the element of surprise to overwhelm them.
Sonido Master: Damien is well known for his tremendous level of skill in the use and application of sonido, both within battle and in everyday life. The sheer skill he demonstrates allows him to utilize advanced Sonido techniques, with only two or three steps required; his skill is further exemplified through his ability to create his own unique Sonido abilities, which incorporate not only his own speed, but his zanjutsu or swordsmanship skills as well.
Special Abilities:
Negative Burst: Damien releases a quick burst of concentrated hollow energy outwards from his entire body. This only works when the opponent is within a 5ft range of him. It's mainly for forcing opponent's or attacks away from Damien when they are at a close or extremely close range. The burst is capable of dealing some damage, depending on how close the opponent is and how great their defense is.
Biography:
His life was of luxury during his time of being alive considering he lived in Spain and comes from a Royal Family that still continues on even after his death. His life was eagerly stripped away when he was betrayed by his half brother who wanted to take his place. On that forsaken day, Damien was resting with his wife when his brother, Miguel came to him saying that his son was in danger down in the Plaza. Damien quickly went down to the Plaza where he found his son laying in the middle of the ground it was odd that the Plaza was empty and only his son remained but he was more concerned for his son sake not paying attention to his instincts.
Damien quickly embraced his son and calling out his name over and over hoping that his son's life was not taken. His son opens his eyes, slowly looking at his father, Damien smiled gently and before he could realize it he was surround by soldiers with Bows pointing not only at him, but his son as well. "What is the meaning out this?" he shouted, looking around and there was a silence no one answered him until his brother emerged with a maniacal grin spread across his face "This was my doing brother, your time of ruling is over" Damien stared him down "I should have prepared for this" his brother chuckled before pointing towards Damien and his son signaling for them to strike. There was a shower of arrows striking them both at once and all you could hear was their screams before there was utter silence.
Sometime after this, Damien awoke to find himself in the plaza, but there seemed to be something odd about him, as he looked down, he saw that he had a chain protruding from his chest, he tried to tear it off but it was know use. He then looked around and found himself right in the spot where he and his son were attack. Remembering the betrayal and pain, Damien went to find his brother, and kill him, unaware that he was dead, Damien made his way to his room in order to tell his wife of what has happened; however, when he got there, he got a huge surprise. There they were, his wife, son, and brother, sitting there laughing and dancing as they burned his belongings. "What is the meaning of this?" Damien shouted to them, but to no prevail. But soon, reality set in. It had all been a trap, his son and wife were aware of his brothers plans and aided in his death.
Finally knowing the truth, Damien was overcome with rage, despair, and pain. Suddenly the chain on his chest began to grow short as he began to transform. Damien's hair shortened and then grew white and took the shape of a white mask. After the transformation is complete, Damien was no longer a spirit be a hollow. Giving into his hollow nature, Damien devoured everyone in the plaza, he then went on a rampage devouring any and all souls that it came across, until he was lured into the sand of Hueco Mundo.
Once in Hueco Mundo, Damien continued to attack and devour all hollows he could find. Until he had devoured, nearly a hundred hollows, and soon he would transform into a Gillian Class Hollow. But even then, his hunger could not be satisfied, and he continued to eat until he evolved into an Adjuchas, and then once more into a Vasto Lorde. It is at this point when Damien had completely forgotten his entire past and why he was even there.
It is known that during this time frame, Damien had become the Cuatro Espada, but no one knows how or why he chose to. Now he is totally different from when he was alive. He has become more cold, callous, and only lives to for one purpose: to serve and die for his Lord. Despite his number, it is said that Damien has the strength and power to be on equal ground with the Tercera and Segunda.
