Juddeth Goldsmith is a Kami born to the Royal Goldsmith Clan, the elder brother of both Captain Commander Joel Goldsmith and Ninth Divison Captain Uroko Goldsmith, and the uncle of both Haku Goldsmith and Yuki Goldsmith. Juddeth is the head Judge, as well as the overall commander, of the Central 46, beginning shortly after Sosuke Aizen's betrayal. After forbidding Joel, Shitoyakahan Sonodeddo Banbutsunoreichou, and Tatsujin Chiyu'i from leaving Soul Society to go and kill Shikyo Fushiawase, the three declare war on Soul Society, pitting them against Juddeth and the rest of Central 46. Before Joel became Captain Commander, and his sons and brother joined him, he was the only member of the Goldsmith Family to reside in Soul Society for hundreds of years.
