List of ''Attack on Titan'' characters

The Attack on Titan manga and anime series feature an extensive cast of fictional characters created by Hajime Isayama. The story is set in a world where humanity lives in cities surrounded by enormous walls; a defense against the Titans, gigantic humanoids that eat humans seemingly without reason. The story initially centers on Eren Yeager with his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert, who join the military to fight the Titans after their home town is invaded and Eren's mother is eaten. They are part of the 104th Training Corps, whose graduates assume different positions in the Military, including the Garrison Regiment, the Survey Corps and the Military Police Brigade. It is later revealed that the area where the Walls are located is called Paradis (パラディ, Paradi) and that it is the last territory of Eldia (エルディア, Erudia). There are other empires outside the walls, namely Marley (マーレ, Māre), of which several of its key leaders have infiltrated Paradis as Titans.

Main characters

Eren Yeager (エレン・イェーガー, Eren Yēgā, alt. "Eren Jaeger")
The main protagonist of the series who, after witnessing his mother being devoured by a Titan, dedicates his life to their eradication. After graduating fifth in his cadet class, he is swallowed by a bearded Titan during his first mission in Trost.[vol. 1] However, he soon reappears as a 15-meter (49 ft) Titan who fights other Titans on equal ground.[vol. 1][vol. 2] His ability as a Titan makes him the target of multiple parties that include those who see him as a tool to eradicate the Titans, other humans who can become Titans, and those who perceive Eren as a rebellion-inducing threat to the status quo.[vol. 2,3] Placed into the Survey Corps' Special Operations Squad, he attempts to control his Titan-changing ability and discovers he has other abilities as well. Author Hajime Isayama stated that Eren's Titan form's physique was modeled after middleweight mixed martial artist Yushin Okami.[1][2]
Eren is voiced by Yūki Kaji.[GB p.19] In the Funimation English dub, his name is spelled Eren Jaeger and he is voiced by Bryce Papenbrook.[3] In the live-action film, Eren is portrayed by Haruma Miura.[4] In his voicing, Papenbrook noted the character's guttural screams and the "raw sound" and "disgusting and dirty" voice of Eren's Titan form.[5]
Mikasa Ackerman (ミカサ・アッカーマン, Mikasa Akkāman, alt. "Mikasa Ackermann")
Mikasa is Eren's childhood friend who was taken in by his family.[GB p. 36] She is a quiet and withdrawn girl and maintains a stoic expression except when it comes to Eren, and has been seen to go berserk when Eren is at risk. When Mikasa's parents were killed by slave traders, she went into shock until Eren saves her and motivates her to fight back.[ch. 6][ep 6] As a result, she is very protective of Eren, and follows him wherever she can in joining the military and its related divisions and squads.[vol. 2,3][GB p.37] She is the last-known person of Asian descent residing in the Walls;[ch. 6][ep 6][GB p.39] her mother is a descendant of the Hizuru nation which supported Eldia in the past while her father is of the Ackerman family whom were ostracized. She graduates at the top of the cadet class,[ch. 2] and is regarded by officers as an unprecedented genius and prodigy, easily worth a hundred men in battle.[vol. 3,4] In the author's blog, Isayama notes that her name comes from the Mikasa, a battleship from the Imperial Japanese Navy.[6]
Mikasa is voiced by Yui Ishikawa.[GB p.20] In the English dub, her last name is spelled Ackermann, and she is voiced by Trina Nishimura.[7][8] In the live-action film, she is portrayed by Kiko Mizuhara.[4] Ishikawa says that Mikasa cares mainly about Eren, and keeps a distance from the rest of the world. She says that "While she might seem like a character with so few emotional levels, there are actually many feelings that swirl around her heart."[GB p.20]
Armin Arlert (アルミン・アルレルト, Arumin Arureruto, alt. "Armin Arlelt")
Armin is Eren's childhood friend who joins him in the Scouts to order to make a meaningful difference in the world, and to fulfill his dream of seeing the outside world.[ch. 84] He initially has an inferiority complex, believing he barely passed the combat graduation exam (but was top of the class academically)[ch. 3], and whining that he hates being cowardly and having to rely on friends all the time.[ch. 11] However as the story progresses he gains confidence in himself and his abilities when he realizes that he can use his brain.[ep 10] Despite his self-perceived shortcomings, he vigorously defends Eren when the Military wanted to fire cannons at them, and brings Eren out of his feral Titan state following the latter's second full transformation where he attacks Mikasa,[vol. 3] Armin convinces Eren to overcome his hesitation to fight Annie. In the military, he impresses the higher-ups by deducing the human identity of the Female Titan.[ep 24][GB p. 40-43]
Later chapters describe him as being intelligent, a talented tactician, a deep thinker with good judgement, level-headedness, and ability to think outside the box.[ch. 82] During a battle at Shinganshina, Armin comes up with a plan to capture Bertolt but almost dies from the severe burns he sustained.[ch. 82] But Levi saves Armin by injecting him with Titan serum, with Armin acquiring the Colossus Titan's power by eating Bertolt.[ch. 84]
Armin is voiced by Marina Inoue.[GB p.20] The English dub spells his last name Arlelt,[ep 1] and Josh Grelle voices him.[9] In the live-action feature film, Kanata Hongō plays Armin. Inoue describes Armin as "withdrawn but slowly grows to the point where he's able to say what he believes".[GB p.20]
Reiner Braun (ライナー・ブラウン, Rainā Buraun)
Reiner is a member of Marleyan military's Warrior branch who infiltrated Paradis to seek out the one who possesses the Coordinate. He is introduced as the second-best student of the 104th Training Corps,[ch. 2] where is described by his instructor as strong as an ox, and able to earn the trust of his comrades, but is motivated his desire of returning to his home.[GB p.56-57] He is later revealed to transform into the 15-meter (49 ft) Armored Titan (鎧の巨人, Yoroi no Kyojin).[vol. 10-11]
Originally frail in body and joining the Warriors so he and his mother Karina Braun can become honorary Marleyans so he can meet Marleyan father, Reiner was rejected by his birth parent but the civil pride instilled in him by his mother allowed him Since Marcel's death at the hands of Ymir, Reiner developed a dissociative identity disorder as a coping mechanism while commencing with the plan by destroying Shingansina's inner gate while his group infiltrate the city.[ep 2] Reiner set up a cover as a resident from mountain village southeast of Wall Maria that destroyed by Titans to join the Survey Corps.[vol. 4] It was only when learning Eren possesses the Coordinate that Reiner first assisted Annie during her attack on the 57th expedition by giving her intel on Eren's likely location while appearing to attack her. Reiner eventually reveals his true allegiance when the stress finally gets to him, regrouping with Zeke after a failed attempt to capture Eren. The Survey Corps defeat Reiner in a later battle at Shinganshina using an armor-piercing "Thunder Spear" before his allies take him to safety.[ch. 82] Following the timeskip, having become disillusioned and having only two years left to live, Reiner battled Eren when the latter attacked Marley and stopped him from killing Galliard.[ch. 104]
In a post on his blog, author Hajime Isayama stated that the Armored Titan's physique was based on that of professional wrestler and mixed martial artist Brock Lesnar.[10] In 2017, Isayama announced in an interview with Illustration Magazine that Reiner was now a "main protagonist" character.[11] Reiner is voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya in the Japanese anime.[12] Robert McCollum provides his voice in the English version.[9]

The 104th Training Corps (第104期訓練兵団, Dai-hyakuyon-ki Kunren Heidan, alt.

Following her defeat, Annie encases herself in crystal to prevent further probing as to her motives.[ep 24][ch. 34][GB p.54-55]
Annie is voiced by Yū Shimamura in the Japanese anime.[12] In the English dub, she is voiced by Lauren Landa.[9] At Magic City Comic-Con 2015, Landa said that she used a low-pitched and emotionless voice in portraying Annie.[14]

Ymir remained a Titan for sixty years until she returned to being human after she devoured a Marleyan Warrior named Marcel Galliard, who possessed the Jaw Titan. When she and Eren are later captured by Reiner and Bertolt, Marcel's friends who bore witness to his death, Ymir expected that she would soon be killed by their faction for stealing their power as she willingly submits to the two on the condition that she can take Krista with them. But Krista convinces Ymir not to go through with the plan as she remains with Reiner and Bertolt after they lost Eren.[vol. 12] Some time after Krista becomes queen, Ymir sends a letter to her where she stating her impending death, likely by another Warrior who will be transformed into a Titan and eat her to obtain the power she stole.

Military

The military is divided into three divisions: the Garrison Regiment, the Survey Corps, and the Military Police Brigade. It is commanded by Darius Zackly. Applicants into the Military are first required to enter the Training Corps overseen by Keith Shadis, after which they are allowed to join one of the three divisions.

Darius Zackly (ダリス・ザックレー, Darisu Zakkurē, alt. "Dhalis Zachary")
Darius is the commander-in-chief of the military. He first appears at Eren's tribunal where he assigns Eren to the Survey Corps.[ch. 18] After it was shown that the nobles would abandon the people of Wall Rose should it be breached by Titans, he pledges to support Erwin's plan to overthrow the monarchy.[vol. 15] In the Japanese anime, he is voiced by Hideaki Tezuka.

He then became the first commander to pass his position to a successor (Erwin Smith) without dying. He was close friends with Eren's parents.[ch. 71] In the Japanese anime, he is voiced by Tsuguo Mogami. In the Funimation English dub, his surname is spelled Sadies, but pronounced "Shardis". Patrick Seitz provides the voice.[ep 2]

Garrison Regiment

The Garrison Regiment (駐屯兵団, Chūton Heidan) are the soldiers that protect the towns and reinforce the Walls. They are the first line of defense against the Titans, maintaining a defensive stance. They are the largest force in the military due to the small exclusive number of members in the Military Police Brigade and the high death rate of the Survey Corps. The Garrison Regiment's insignia is a pair of red roses.

Hannes (ハンネス, Hannesu)
A Garrison soldier who saves Eren and Mikasa during the attack on Shiganshina,[ch. 1] While Eren finishes cadet training, Hannes becomes a Garrison squad leader. He seeks to repay a debt to the Yeager Family for saving his own wife and family from a deadly disease.[ch. 3][GB p.66-67] Hannes assisted Mikasa and the other Survey Corps in rescuing Eren from Reiner and Bertolt. He would later die fighting the Titan that ate Eren's mother.[ch. 50] Isayama said that Hannes and the Garrison Soldiers in volume 1 resemble him the most as they sit around and drink booze.[2] He is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara (Season 1) and Kenjiro Tsuda (Season 2) in the Japanese version, and by David Wald in the English version.[15]
Dot Pixis (ドット・ピクシス, Dotto Pikushisu, alt. "Dot Pyxis")

[ch. 12] He appears later in the series to support Erwin's plan to overthrow the monarchy.[ch. 55] In a 2010 post on his blog, Isayama stated he modeled Dot Pixis after Imperial Japanese Army General Akiyama Yoshifuru.[18] However, this raised a heated discussion and death threats on his blog in 2013, with angry participants questioning Akiyama's participation or lack thereof in the Sino-Japanese War and the Imperial Japanese rule over Korea.[19] Dot is voiced by Masahiko Tanaka in the Japanese anime. In the Funimation English version, his last name is spelled Pyxis, and he is voiced by R Bruce Elliott.[13]

Survey Corps

The Survey Corps (調査兵団, Chōsa Heidan, alt. "Scout Regiment"[20]) is composed of expeditionary soldiers that venture outside the Walls. Their goal is to discover more about the origins and source of the Titans, their motives, and weaknesses; ultimately how to fight and defeat them. They are an integral component in the military's campaign to recapture Wall Maria. Due to this, the division suffers from a much larger casualty rate than the Military police or the Garrison Regiment. The Survey Corps' insignia is an overlapping pair of wings known as the "Wings of Freedom".

Erwin Smith (エルヴィン・スミス, Eruvin Sumisu)
Commander of the Survey Corps, who led the last mission before the fall of Wall Maria, having served the government even after they murdered his father as a child believing it was for the good for the people to conceal the truth of Paradis' establishment. After learning of a mole among the military ranks, Erwin concealed this intel from his most trusted subordination while orchestrating the 57th expedition to expose and capture Annie.[ep 20] When Eren is kidnapped by Bertolt and Reiner, he leads a team to rescue him, having his right arm eaten by a Titan in the occasion.[ch. 49] Once learning the government's actions were only for the benefit of the upper class, Erwin stages a bloodless Coup d'état to place Historia into power. Erwin then leads an expedition to Shinganshina to seal the breach on Wall Maria, where he and his forces face the Warrior Titans. After Erwin is mortally wounded while confronting the Beast Titan, Levi decides that injecting him with the titan serum is the logical choice, however, after coming to the realization that Erwin is neither respected nor looked at as a human being by the rest of the Survey Corps he decides to free him from hell, and Armin is given the injection by default.[ch. 85] He is voiced by Daisuke Ono in the Japanese anime,[12][21] and by J. Michael Tatum in the English version.[15]

Hange is a squad leader in the Survey Corps and a scientist who studies the Titans.[ep 14] Hange shows little fear when interacting with them, and is thus ecstatic when initially meeting Eren.[ch. 20] Hange had a strong hatred against Titans until the discovery of Ilse Langnar's notebook provided some new insight into how the Titans may be able to think. Hange also provides the special weapons they use, such as a barrel that fires multiple grappling hooks to capture Titans alive.[GB p.80-81] After Erwin steps down, Hange becomes commander of the Survey Corps in his stead.
In the original English translation of the manga, and in the anime, Hange is referred to as a female.[vol. 5] However, in his blog in 2011, Isayama responded to a question regarding Hange's gender by responding "Perhaps [Hange's gender] is better left unstated".[23] In 2014, Kodansha USA stated they went back through volume 5 and removed gender-specific pronouns they had used for reprint,[24] and references from volume 6 onwards.[25] Hange is voiced by Romi Park in the Japanese anime,[12][21] is voiced by Jessica Calvello in the English dub,[13] and is portrayed by Satomi Ishihara in the live-action film.[4]
Mike Zacharius (ミケ・ザカリアス, Mike Zakariasu, alt. "Miche Zacharius")
A Survey Corps squad leader who has a peculiar habit of snorting and sniffing people when he meets them for the first time.[ep 14][ch. 19] His strength is second to Levi among the Survey Corps squad leaders. When Wall Rose is breached by the Titans, Zacharius uses himself as a decoy to distract nine titans while his fellow soldiers escape. Zacharius manages to kill five of his opponents before he is incepted by the Beastly Titan. Zacharius is shocked to hear the titan speaking his language while being relieved of his gear, left to be devoured by the other three remaining Titans.[ch. 35] He is voiced by Kenta Miyake in Japanese. In the Funimation English dub, his first name was spelled Miche, and he is voiced by Jason Douglas.[ep 14]
Ilse Langnar (イルゼ・ラングナー, Iruze Rangunā)
Resembling Ymir, Ilse was on the Survey Corps' 34th expedition with the task of taking detailed notes of her experiences outside the Walls. But she ended up encountering a trapped Abnormal Titan who mistook her for "Lady Ymir" and reached out to her in reverence. Ilse assumed the talking Titan can be beneficial for her work but she ends up having her head bitten off as a result of her unintentionally provoking the Titan enough for it to break free. Her story is recounted in the special chapter and an OVA titled "Ilse's Notebook" (イルゼの手帳, Iruze no Techō).[vol. 5] She is voiced by Sachi Kokuryu in Japanese. In the Funimation English dub of Attack on Titan: Junior High, she is voiced by Marissa Lenti.

Special Operations Squad

The Survey Corps Special Operations Squad (調査兵団特別作戦班, Chōsa Heidan Tokubetsu Sakusen-han), also known as Squad Levi (リヴァイ班, Rivai-han), is a squad of four elite soldiers with impressive combat records hand-picked by Captain Levi. The squad takes Eren under their wing as both his bodyguards and potential executors if he goes berserk. All the original members of the squad, except for Levi and Eren, are killed by the Female Titan during the 57th expedition to Wall Maria. Later on, the squad is reformed with the six remaining recruits from the 104th Training Corps.

Levi (リヴァイ, Rivai)
He is known as humanity's most powerful soldier and head of an elite squad in the Survey Corps. Hange remarks that he is a bit of a "clean freak".[26] While it is said that he is blunt and unapproachable, it is noted that he has a strong respect for authority, structure and discipline. The side story Attack on Titan: No Regrets focuses on Levi's origins, revealing that he was part of a band of thieves using the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment to commit crimes before he is scouted by Erwin to join the army. Captain Kenny Ackerman later notes that the capture of Eren and Krista has to do with Levi, whom he refers to as "Levi Ackerman". Kenny is later revealed to be Levi's maternal uncle, who raised him after his mother Kuchel's death. Levi was modeled after the Watchmen character Rorschach[27] and is named after a child Isayama noticed in the documentary Jesus Camp.[28] Levi is voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya,[12] and by Matthew Mercer in the English dub.[13]

She was a kind-hearted person, welcomed by the people in the Reiss family's domain, and cared for Historia. She originally obtained the Founding Titan at age fifteen from her uncle Uri Reiss, gaining the power to assume Titan form, manipulate memories, and endowed with the collective knowledge of human history. Frieda also taught Historia to read and be a kind person, later erasing herself for her half sister's memory when she wanted to be like her. As Frieda was inexperienced in controlling Titans, she was killed and eaten by Grisha Yeager during the fall of Wall Maria when she and her family took refuge in a church.

Titans

The Titans (巨人, Kyojin) are the primary antagonists of the series. They are giant creatures that usually resemble male humans in form, although lacking reproductive organs.[ch. 4] They can range in height from 3 to 15 meters (9.8–49.2 ft). Despite their enormous strength and toughness, their bodies are unnaturally light for their size. Their primary objective is to kill and eat humans, as they show no interest in attacking other animals. However, they do not require food or drink. They have hard skin and regenerative abilities, and can only be killed by causing a deep incision at the nape of the neck. They have high body temperatures, causing them to emit steam.[ch. 4]

Over the course of the series, some of the Titans, referred to as Abnormal (奇行種, Kikō-shū), show signs of intelligence. There are also humans, such as Eren, who can assume Titan form by possessing the "Titan's power" (巨人の力, Kyojin no Chikara).[vol. 2] The transformation is triggered by a self-inflicted wound but also requires having a clear, specific goal in mind.[ep 19] While in this form, the human's normal body rests in the nape of the neck, connected via masses of muscular tissue.[vol. 2] The Reiss family are later revealed to have the ability to create and control Titans using a special serum created from the spinal fluid of Titan related to Ymir Fritz.[ch. 86] It would later be revealed that the Titans are of a human ethnicity known as the Eldians (エルディア人, Erudia-jin), also known as Subjects of Ymir (ユミルの民, Yumiru no Tami) who are the only living things that can transform into Titans and used that power to conquer Marley before being exploited by the Marleyans. The possessors of the Titan's Power are also called the Nine Titans (九つの巨人, Kokonotsu no Kyojin), Eldian who inherited a ninth of Ymir's soul and would eventually die after 13 years. The succession of the Nine Titans is tied to a form of cannibalism with a successor transformed into a Titan and acting on instinct to devour the current holder, though power can be passed to a random Eldian child born at the time of the current holder's death by other means regardless of distance.[vol. 88]

Sonny and Bean (ソニーとビーン, Sonī to Bīn, alt. "Sawney and Beane"[ep 15])
A 4-meter (13 ft) Titan and a 7-meter (23 ft) tall Titan captured by Eren for Hange's studies.[ch. 20] With them, Hange discovers that Titans require sunlight to operate, as Sonny becomes lethargic without sunlight, but Bean is still active.[ch. 20] In the anime, Hange says they were named after Sawney Bean, the leader of a clan of cannibals who hunted and ate their victims before the authorities led by King James found their secret cave and exterminated them.[ep 15] Both are killed by Annie Leonhart.[ep 24][GB p.130-131]
In the English dub, they are referred to as Sawney and Beane, and are voiced by Jonathan C. Osborne and Cris George respectively.[ep 15]
Ymir Fritz (ユミル・フリッツ, Yumiru Furittsu)
A mythical figure tied to the origins of the Titans who lived around 1,800 years ago, mentioned only in fairy tales. In the stories, Ymir became the first Founding Titan (始祖の巨人, Shiso no Kyojin) when she made a deal with the devil and used her gained power to protect her people from the Marley government. In time, the deceased Ymir's power was divided into nine of her Subjects whose families used the Nine Titans to establish Eldia as an empire for centuries until the reign of Karl Fritz.
Karl Fritz (カール・フリッツ, Kāru Furittsu)
A descendant of Ymir Fritz and the 145th king of Eldia, a pacifist by nature who inherited the power of the Progenitor Titan, Karl detested his ancestors for the atrocities they caused and the civil war among the other Eldian houses. This influenced him into orchestrating Eldia's downfall with the Tybur family, secretly moving the capital to the eastern island of Paradis while the Tyburs used the oppressed people of Marley to stage the Great Titan War and becoming the ruling government.[ch. 97] Once Shingansina was established, intending to separate his people from the rest of the world to live in peace, Karl used his power to wipe the memories of everyone that is a Subject of Ymir. Living on through the Founding Titan power to influence his blood-related successors, Karl then established the Reiss Family to continue his bloodline with his heirs maintaining the ceasefire between Paradis and Marley with only Historia his last living heir.[ch. 86] Some relatives of Karl remained in Marley and eventually dwindled with Zeke Yeager as the last of that line, concealing it from the Marleyans to maintain his freedom.

Marley

Marley (マーレ, Māre) is a large empire located beyond the Walls and across the ocean from Paradis. It consists of an enormous continental mainland as well as many overseas territories. Marley was originally conquered by the Subjects of Ymir who established the Empire of Eldia using the Nine Titans, but Karl Fritz enables the Marleyans to rise up during the Great Titan War. With Karl's involvement in their uprising concealed, the Marleyans seized control of some of the Titans and subjugated most of Eldia with the exception of Paradis. In the modern era, Marley uses the Titans to barely maintain its status as a world power as other nations are making technological progress. The Marleyan Military (マーレの軍事, Māre no Gunji) is the combined armed forces of Marley, consisting primarily of the Marley Army (マーレ陸軍, Māre Rikugun) (which includes the infamous Warrior Unit) and the Marley Navy (マーレ海軍, Māre Kaigun). Marley maintains its military dominance in the world stage by the use of five (formerly seven before the failure of the Paradis Island Operation) of the Nine Titans and a technologically moderate military force, which is not as developed as that of other powers around the world. The overall size of the Marleyan military stationed around the Liberio internment zone (レベリオ収容区, Reberio Shūyō-ku) exceeds 30,000 soldiers.

Zeke Yeager (ジーク・イェーガー, Jīku Yēgā)
An Eldian who is Eren's paternal older half-brother through their father Grisha, who used him as a spy within the Marleyans' Warrior Unit for the Eldian Resistance. But Zeke ultimately betrayed his father to save himself and conceal his identity as a descendant of Karl Fritz, causing the exile of both his father and his mother Dina Yeager.[ch. 86] Eventually becoming Captain of the Warrior Unit, with Berholt, Reiner, and Annie his subordinates, Zeke inherited the power to assume a 17-meter (56 ft) Titan form resembling a Bigfoot-like creature with long, thin arms and retaining the ability to speak human language while able to command Titans due to his Fritz heritage.[ch. 35] Originally known as the Beast Titan (獣の巨人, Kemono no Kyojin), Zeke makes his presence known while in Titan form during the Stohess district storyline where he turned the residents of Ragako into Titans to terrorize Wall Rose's interior, stalling some of the Titans from eating Survey Corps leader Mike Zacharius long enough to relieve the shocked man of his gear for study while attempting to have a discussion with him.[ch. 35][GB p.135] After Reiss is removed from power, deeming the obtaining of the Founding Titan goes above Annie's rescue, he orders Reiner and Bertolt to remain by his side to plan an ambush to capture Eren when he eventually appears to reclaim the city.[ch. 70] After the Survey Corps arrived at Shiganshina and closed the outer wall, he leads an army of Titans in an ambush against them.[ch. 74] Though he fell back after losing Shiganshina, Zeke would convince Marley to resume their attack on Paradis five years later. But Zeke, faking his death during Eren's attack on Marley, had aligned himself with Eldia despite the Survey Corps not fully trusting him.[ch. 106]
Porco Galliard (ポルコ・ガリアード, Poruko Gariādo)
Porco is one of the Eldians aligned with the Marley who can turn into a Titan. He is able to transform into the Jaws Titan (顎の巨人, Agito no Kyojin), an agile, light armoured Titan whose mouth is protected by a cog-like jaw.

She is able to transform into the Cartman Titan (車力の巨人, Shariki no Kyojin), a quadrupedal Titan able to talk, just like the Beastly Titan and transport massive amounts of cargo on her back as she did during the battle against the Survey Corps in Shiganshina, supplying Zeke with barrels for him to throw. During the battle at Fort Slava, she acted as a heavily armoured tank by protecting her face with a large, plated mask while carrying two soldiers armed with machine guns.
Willy Tybur (ヴィリー・タイバー, Virī Taibā)
The patriarch of the most elite Eldian family in Marley who are highly influential, Willy's family are the true rulers of Marley who orchestrated the downfall of the Eldian Empire with Karl Fritz ages ago.[ch. 97] While a pacifist, Willy shares his family's disdain towards Fritz's methods in the segregation of the Eldians from Paradis island. While publicly revealing his family's true history and indifference to Marley's decline, Willy express full intentions of seizing the resources of Paradis Island.[ch. 95] Claiming to have inherited the power of the Warhammer Titan (戦槌の巨人, Sentsui no Kyojin) that was kept in his bloodline for years, Willy shared his family's preference of using its power for the sake of maintaining peace. But Willy's younger sister is revealed to be the true Warhammer Titan after Willy was killed when Eren attacked Marley's war declaration rally, the girl killed and eaten by Eren after their battle.[ch. 101]
Gabi Braun (ガビ・ブラウン, Gabi Buraun)
