Biography: In his younger days in the soul society, Torik grew up in the poorest and most ruthless part of the soul society. He was a strong fighter, he had to be, for in those days the penalty for losing a fight was not death. If one lost a fight back then, that person would be held down and whipped until they are near death. As a result, Torik did lose his fair share of fights, he has the scars to prove it. Eventually he got the attention of the shinigami and Goeti 13, they acknowledged his strength and skill. The, at the time, Head Captain recruited him to be a Shinigami Captain. But since Torik didn't even know Shikai yet he needed to be trained. After 100 years of intense training under the Head Captain himself, Torik mastered Shikai and Bankai. He was then made Captain of Squad 11 and remained in that position for over 2,000 years. In that time he fought in countless battles as the Captain of the Sereitei's combat unit, never once losing. In the shinigami civil war, the Head Captain was murdered, only Torik had the power to avenge his mentor and end the war, bringing peace to the Soul Society once again. After the civil war, Central 46 ruled that the only one with the power and ability to take the position of Head Captain was Torik Ishikawa. After about 500 years of running things as Head Captain he started to see some potential in a member of Squad 3, the 3rd seat Alastor Blade. Alastor's Captain, the Captain of Squad 3, had recently been killed, so Torik needed to find a replacement. He could find no one better suited to the task then Alastor. Once made Captain, Alastor and Torik became very close, even becoming training partners.
Personality: With all the wisdom and experience Torik has gained in all of his years, he doesn't feel the need to say much or even show any emotion. Although he does care and shows tough love, he never shows it, only through his actions to protect others. The only time he shows emotion in his expression is when he's in a good fight or when he is with someone special.

Torik's zanpakuto splits into a pair of powerful duel blades.

Shadow Meld: Torik is capable of melding his body with his shadow and use it as a mean of transportation. When doing this, he can not attack until he completely exits a shadow. He can exit or enter any shadow, but he usually enters his own shadow because its the most convenient. Torik can only stay in a shadow for one post and once he leaves it, he can not reenter into another shadow for another 3 posts.
Shadow Tendrils: Torik can make tendrils made of shadows come out of any shadow to attack or restrain his opponent(s). He can control these tendrils with his mind or his hand movements. Tendrils can only come out of one shadow at a time, so if Torik wants to make tendrils come out of a different shadow, the tendrils from another shadow must first retreat back into its shadow.
Shadow Snare: Torik's Duel Swords have the ability to hold a shadow in place by piercing it with one of his blades. When he stabs someones shadow, their legs become paralyzed for as long as that blade is within the shadow. Only one blade can snare a shadow at a time.

Each shadow can have ten shadow sword come out of it at once. So at a maximum, Torik can make 50 shadow blades at once.
Shadow Pierce: Using the same principles as the Shadow Snare technique in his Shikai, Torik can stab his opponents shadows. But instead of paralyzing, stabbing a shadow like this damages the owner of the shadow where ever it was the shadow was harmed.
Shadow Bodies/Shadow Body Replacement: One of Torik's strongest techniques in Bankai, he can take all the shadows in an area and control their movements and shapes to create an army of shadow warriors, each with their own sword.

However, Torik can switch places with any of his shadow warriors at any time, making him seemingly moving faster than a shunpo or a sonido.
