The Quincy (滅却師 (クインシー), Kuinshī; Japanese for "Monk of Destruction") are living beings that have the ability to detect the existence of Hollows and other Souls.
Is the soul King a Quincy?
He was a Quincy and also at the same time a Shinigami, and also just a normal person bearing countless abilities like a Fullbringer. He was the symbol of hope who ruled over all in the chaotic world.
If you are looking for his true Shinigami powers, see Zangetsu (Zanpakutō spirit). The old man whom Ichigo Kurosaki acknowledges as Zangetsu (斬月) is the manifested spirit of Ichigo Kurosaki's Quincy powers that can be found inside Ichigo's inner world.
