Shinigami who have undergone some form of partial Hollowfication, either through an accident or with the purpose of gaining Hollow powers. Such Shinigami have been banned from Soul Society, and are treated as Hollows by the Gotei 13. Along with the Zanpaktou typical of Shinigami, Vizards can also call upon the use of a Hollow's Mask, which reflects the nature of their Hollowfied souls, and grants them more power, and in some cases access to Cero and Bala techniques.

Vizard Masks
Mask Type 1 - Hollowfied Soul: These masks are the result of a Shinigami themselves becoming a victim of partial Hollowfication, only after they have become a Shinigami. This means they are literally half Hollow half Shinigami. As such, their Zanpaktou and Hollow powers are not linked, but they also have access to Cero and Bala Abilities. Because their Soul itself is Hollowfied, their Reiatsu is not identified as a Shinigami, unless they consciously repress their Hollow powers (Requires Reiatsu Control Level 2).

Mask Type 2 - Hollowfied Zanpaktou: These masks are the result of a Shinigami who was either born from a partial Hollowfication victim (Vizard or Fullbringer parent), or were partially Hollowfied before becoming a Shinigami. Because their Zanpaktou itself has been Hollowfied, they only gain access to their mask when activating their Bankai, and it merely augments their existing abilities, and changes their Reiatsu to something more Hollow than Shinigami when in use.
