Byakuya Kuchiki is one of the strongest captains in bleach, and one of the more gracefully dressed. His outfit is more customized.
He’s a lone wolf. A guy who likes to do his own thing but is protective of his family, friends, with a commitment to duty.
His confidence can also be mistaken for arrogance because he’s usually so certain of a situation before he gets into it.
