Former
Former Lieutenant
Kaien was the Lieutenant for the 13th division prior to his untimely demise at the hands of Rukia. His body was combined with the hollow, Metastacia, and thus he later became a part of the 9th Espada Aaroniero Arruruerie.
Former 3rd Seat
Miyako served as the 13th Division's 3rd Seat until her death at the hands of a Hollow, Metastacia. She was Kaien's wife and someone Rukia looked up as a role model.
Organization
The 13th division's organization is somehow peculiar, the Captain (Jūshirō Ukitake), due to his weakened health state, firstly gave much of his administrative work to his Lieutenant, Kaien Shiba. After the Lieutenant's death, there has yet to be a replacement for Kaien and administrative duties are assumed by the division's 3rd seat pair. It's also notable that the 13th division is the only one with two 3rd seats and no Lieutenant.
