Biography
Byakuya Kuchiki (Japanese: 朽木 白哉, Hepburn: Kuchiki Byakuya) was a male born in the Soul Society where he was a member of one of the noble families that were the Kuchiki Clan.
He arrived at the scene of the execution where he was ready to witness Rukia's death but the event was interrupted by the arrival of Ichigo Kurosaki who managed to block the Kikōō (燬鷇王, Blaze Fledgling King; Viz "Firebird King"). Such an act was deemed impossible yet the intruder managed to take down the Sōkyoku and saved Rukia where he passed her to Renji to take her to safety. Byakuya arrived at the scene where he intended to re-capture Rukia and execute her for her crimes but was opposed by Ichigo. Kurosaki was different during this fight where he demonstrated the ability to see and fight Byakuya on an equal footing.
Afterwards, Captain-Commander Yamamoto received information that Orihime Inoue had willingly gone to Hueco Mundo. This led to him considering her to be a traitor and that all shinigami units were to return to the Soul Society as a result. Sensing that Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai might refuse orders, the Captain-Commander had sent Captains Byakuya Kuchiki and Kenpachi Zaraki to force the pairs return to the Soul Society. The shinigami then returned though upon taking his subordinates back to their headquarters. However, Byakuya had stated that he only had orders to bring the pair back to the Soul Society and what they did afterwards was not his concern. This was his way for them to return to Earth in order for them to help Ichigo in rescuing Orihime. Before they departed, he gave them cloaks that would help them travel through the aid deserts of Hueco Mundo.
