Marleyan Cuisine
The main dietary habits are based on those from Europe and Central and South America.
In chapter 106, we see Niccolo cooking lobster, pasta, and clams in white wine, among other dishes. He also prepares many soups, main courses, and desserts, all of which are not found within the walls. Furthermore, the wine produced in Marley is world-renowned within the walls. Their main dietary habits are more advanced than those within the walls.
Furthermore, in chapter 98, we can see a party held in the internment camp outside the walls, featuring a variety of delicious foods such as burritos, tacos, pizzas, and French vanilla ice cream.
In chapter 93 of the original work, food such as American ham and cheese sandwiches (the food in Porco Galliard's hands) appears. In chapter 111, the restaurant where Nicolo works features cream stew, American filet mignon, Romanée-Conti (which Nicolo uses to attack Falco Grice), and vegetable salad.
In the original accounts of the victory in the Great Battle of Titans, there is a hero named Helos, a figure from over 100 years ago, who led Marley in its rebellion against Eldia. Chapter 99 of the manga points out that he was a figure from the Eldian era 109 years ago, who, through his skillful intelligence operations, caused the Eldian Empire to gradually perish due to infighting among its own kind. Later, he joined forces with the Tybur Family to forcibly abdicate King Fritz and ultimately rebuilt Marley.
He defeated the Earth Devil in his mortal form, restoring sight to Marley. He was brave and unharmed, embodying the spirit of Marley.
The original hero never existed. It wasn't Helos, nor the Tybur Family, who ended the Titan War; the one who saved the world was King Fritz. Carl Fritz, the 145th king, grieved by the infighting among his own kind and heartbroken by the plight of the Marleyans. In his pursuit of peace, he was willing to sacrifice his interests on the Marley Continent. The king joined forces with the Tybur Family, who possessed the War Hammer Titan, and decided to sacrifice his life to end the history of the Eldian Empire. Thus, a Marleyans hero, Helos, was fabricated.
Helos is a fabricated hero. He defeated the Eldians and established the Marley regime as a symbol of the Marleyans, but in reality, the Tybur Family was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes.
The 145th king of the Eldian Empire, the wielder of the Founding Titan, lived approximately one hundred years ago. Weary of war, he led a portion of the Eldian people to migrate to the island and used the Founding Titan to build the walls. He is the originator of the current state of humanity within the walls in Attack Titan.
The 145th king of the Eldian Empire, the wielder of the Founding Titan, lived approximately one hundred years ago.
The Eldians ruler of the tribal era 2000 years ago, Ymir's master, and later the legendary demon of the land. He condemned Ymir in the incident of "who let the pig escape," and even after Ymir returned with the power of the Titans, he still treated her as a slave. To obtain her power, he fathered three daughters with her. After Ymir's death, he dismembered her body and forced his three daughters to devour her, thus successfully inheriting the Titan power from her. On his deathbed, he told Maria, Rose, and Shina (his daughters with Ymir, the second Titan) to continue having children, and then, after their deaths, for his grandchildren to eat them; then his grandchildren to continue having children... and so on—they would forever rule the world, their world would never end.
The Fleet Admiral of the Marleyan military, Marley's Minister of Defense, and Commander-in-Chief of the Marley army. He commands the army, navy, and air force, and wields significant influence over the Security Service. He first appears in chapter 93 of the manga, leading Reiner, Zeke, and other warriors in the Middle East war to attack Slava Fortress. He questions Magath about the Titans' performance in the war against the Mid-East Allied Forces, learning from Magath's words, "Soon, when there are flying machines carrying bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms, the demons of the earth will be finished." Through his understanding of the outside world, history, and the present, he understands that the power of the Titans is gradually becoming obsolete. The power of the Titans will eventually fade from the historical stage. He laments the decline of the great nation of Marley, believing that over-reliance on the power of the Titans has led to the military's backwardness. Despite having the ability to develop technology, they over-rely on the power of the Titans, resulting in their technology lagging behind the Mid-East Allied Forces, and they even have to acquire the Founding Titan to buy themselves time.
He once made the outlandish suggestion at a high-level meeting that flying Titans existed, asking Magath, "Aren't there winged Titans?" Ultimately, he believed that developing technology was the way to save Marley and adopted the suggestions of Zeke and Magath. In chapter 99, he and other high-ranking military officials went to the Liberio Internment Zone to attend the declaration of war ceremony. Later, he was invited to a designated audience seat for Willy Tybal's speech and participated in Willy Tybal's speech in chapter 100. In chapter 101, he was attacked by Eren in his Titan form and was ultimately killed by Eren in his Titan form. Because he had been in contact with the Eldians for many years, he was not very sensitive to the so-called "descendants of demons" theory and his attitude towards the Eldians was relatively friendly.
The head of the Marley Public Security, holding the rank of Sergeant First Class. When Grisha Yeager was young, he took Grisha Yeager's sister, Fie, who had trespassed into forbidden territory, to a wasteland, where Fie was mauled to death by vicious dogs. In 832, when the Eldian Restorationists suffered a devastating blow, he was ordered to inject the Eldians Restorationists the Giant Drug. Just before Grisha Yeager's execution, he was pushed off the wall by his subordinate, Kruger, and mauled to death by a Titan. His name is derived from the English word 'disgusting'.
Willy is a lieutenant general in the Marleyan military. He has been training Eldians to become Marley warriors for at least twenty years. He is very concerned about the safety of his soldiers. During the capture of Basra Fortress, he initially refused Gabi Brown's dangerous request, but later approved it after considering the safety of eight hundred Eldians. He was later promoted to Field Fleet Admiral and attempted to reinstate conscription for the Marleyans. When Willy gave a speech at the Liberio Internment Zone, he led his troops to handle security at the scene.
After Willy declared war, Eren appeared at the speech venue. Since other Marley commanders and high-ranking military personnel present were quickly killed by Eren, he assumed command. He symbolically fired M1903 Springfield rifle at Eren's Titan form as a signal for Marley's retaliation. He then ordered the Marley troops present to use anti-Titan field guns (American M2/101 howitzers) captured during the battle against the Middle Eastern Allied Forces to fire at Eren, intending to eliminate him. He then told the soldiers present that the Titan era was over. Currently, they are engaged in battle with the Survey Corps, who have come to Eren's aid.
Having spent a long time with the Eldians, although he believed they were descendants of demons and still expressed prejudice against them in his words (for example, during the Battle of Sbara Fortress, when Kurt reported on the heavy casualties suffered by the Eldian warriors while digging trenches and offered suggestions, he rebuked Kurt for daring to give orders to the Marleyans), he was generally friendly towards the Eldians and genuinely cared about them.
Before Willy's speech at the Liberio Internment Zone, he told Willy that the Eldians were descendants of demons, but they (referring to Willy and Magath themselves) were nothing less than demons. Currently, most of the Marley army commanders and other high-ranking military personnel have perished, and Dio Magath has been promoted to Fleet Admiral, leading the majority of the army in the resistance. Finally, in chapter 108, it was announced that Marley and the World Allied Forces launch a full-scale attack on Paradis Island. In chapter 116, he, along with Koslow, Reiner, and others, launched a surprise attack on Paradis Island in an airship, and after reuniting with Pieck, he personally served as the gunner of the Cart Titan's anti-Titan cannon, hitting the Beast Titan.
In chapter 129 of the manga, in order to cover the retreat of Hange's faction and the Marley warrior alliance, he stayed at the dock with Keith Shadis, a former training regiment instructor, to block the pursuing Yeagerists. The two then detonated explosives on the only remaining warship at the dock, perishing together with the enemy.
