Sōsuke Aizen is a Shinigami and former captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13 who was at the centre of a grand conspiracy in Soul Society.
Shortly after the Ryoka arrive in Seireitei, Aizen is found dead and suspicion is initially thrown on Gin Ichimaru. However, upon reading a letter left by Aizen, his lieutenant, Momo Hinamori, begins to believe that it was Tōshirō Hitsugaya who killed Aizen. This causes her to turn against him and attempt to battle him. On the day of Rukia Kuchiki's execution, it is revealed that Aizen is alive and that it was he who had manipulated events to arrange the execution of Rukia and attempted to get Hinamori killed by her childhood friend Hitsugaya through manipulation. Aizen attacks numerous Shingiami, including Hinamori and reveals the true power of his Zanpakutō, Kyōka Suigetsu. Upon acquiring his true goal, the Hōgyoku, Aizen abandons Soul Society for Hueco Mundo along with his accomplices Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen, where he consolidates his Arrancar army.
Aizen then leads a war to defeat the Gotei 13, splitting their forces across two realms in the process, before traveling to the real Karakura Town in order to gain access to the Soul King Palace. However, Ichigo chases after him and engages the former captain in a final duel.

"Look at this world! This world of yours, which was once a cluster of skyscrapers that thrust upwards at the hopeful heavens has been reduced to the scenery of that little town that is so familiar to you! The rain that continuously fell on this world may have stopped, but now everything has sunk to the bottom of this ocean! All of this, Ichigo, is because you fell into despair and halted your progress. Ichigo, I will not let you go on like this. Right here, right now, I'm going to drag out the source of your despair." - Tensa Zangetsu to Ichigo Kurosaki in Chapter 410.
