| “ | Why do I have to fight with a strong guy like this? I always envied the weak. Whenever we made friends, their souls would waste away just from being near us. Because we were so alone, we split our soul in two. I don't know which was our original form. Or perhaps, it was neither.

| ~ Coyote Starrk |
Background
Coyote Starrk (コヨーテ・スターク, Koyōte Sutāku) is an Arrancar and the Primera (1st) Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army, along with his other counterpart, Lilynette Gingerbuck. As an Espada, the aspect of death he symbolizes is Solitude.
Not much is known about the Original Hollow from which they both split, but its power was so great that it would kill others simply by being near its presence, making it jealous of the weak and splitting into two in an attempt to escape its own loneliness. Regardless, the two would still be alone until Aizen found and enlisted them into his army.

Intelligence: Above Average (Despite his Lazy demeanor, he is quite the perceptive and Astute fighter who is quickly able to grasp unfamiliar techniques. Such as Isolating Shunsui's Shunpo range and movement with his Cero's and anticipating his next step, forcing the latter to block it with his blades. Completely figured Sogyo no Kotowari absorption, reflection and power modifying properties after a few exchanges and quickly grasped the various games of Katen Kyōkotsu even making the most optimal moves against Shunsui)
Weaknesses: Is unable to use his Pistols if he summons his wolf pack
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Cero: A powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy fired in a laser like fashion that only Hollows, Arrancars, and Visoreds can use. The power, force, speed, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength, spiritual power, and sometimes skill of the user.
- Gran Rey Cero: A much more powerful Cero only accessible to the Espada. By mixing their blood with a Cero, the Espada can discharge a blast that can distort space and is powerful enough to destroy Las Noches.
- Cero Oscuras: A powerful Cero that can only be used by the Espada in their Resurrección. This Cero is powerful enough to destroy Las Noches as well.
Bala: An Arrancar ability similar to Cero, except it's weaker and 20 times faster.
Descorrer: A technique used by Arrancar to travel between Hueco Mundo and other worlds, creating a spiritual pathway called a Garganta with a gesture, walking through this portal to arrive at their destination in an instant.
Hierro: A defensive technique used by Arrancar that toughens their skin by reinforcing it with condensed Reiryoku, allowing an Arrancar to confront an armed Shinigami with their bare hands. All Arrancar use this ability in some form to gain their supernatural toughness, but even an exceptionally powerful Hierro can be bypassed by focusing one's Reiryoku to a finer, sharper point.
Pesquisa: A perception technique used by Arrancar, which sends out a pulse that detects nearby sources of Reiatsu and gauging their power.
Sonído: A technique used by Arrancar that allows for high-speed movement, effectively analogous to the Shunpo used by Shinigami, and used in bursts to traverse distances quickly and fight at these high speeds.
Resurrección: The Arrancar equivalent of a Shikai/Bankai, this form allows an Arrancar to unleash their true power as a Hollow.
Los Lobos: Starrk's Resurrección. Unique for an Arrancar, Starrk's true power is not sealed within a Zanpakutō, but within the form of another Arrancar, Lilynette Gingerbuck, who is both a distinct being and a part of Starrk. By releasing his power with the command Kick About, Starrk transforms Lilynette into a pair of pistols, gaining part of her mask and new clothing lined with fur, ultimately resembling a gunslinger. In this form, Starrk can fire Cero from his pistols, with the right firing more powerful blasts, while the left is weaker but can shoot much faster, so fast that Starrk claimed he could fire 1,000 Cero at once. His physicals are greatly increased as well.
- Cero Metralleta: Starrk lifts one of his pistols and fires a barrage of Cero from its barrel and around it, so much so that they seem to combine into one massive blast. He can continuously keep up this barrage and adjust his aim while firing and without stopping.
- Colmillo: Starrk can materialize a pair of spiritual energy swords vaguely resembling the katana he wields prior to his Resurrección.
- Wolves: Starrk can summon a massive pack of wolves, seemingly numbering in the hundreds, and each materialized from a part of Starrk and Lilynette's shared souls. These wolves obey Starrk's commands and will chase down their targets, biting onto them once they get close enough before exploding with brutal force.
