The Sternritters are a group of powerful Quincy in the Wandenreich army who play a key role in the invasion of the Soul Society, tasked with eliminating Shinigami.

The Sternritters, also individually referred to simply as Ritters, are an order of extremely powerful Quincy who serve as the leading fighters of the Wandenreich. According to Eikon, the Sternritters who participated in the first invasion of the Seireitei possess powers comparable to or exceeding that of Captain-level Shinigami. Each Sternritter is assigned a Schrift by Yhwach, granting them unique abilities; each Schrift is designated with a letter.
