Here They Come

Because only those of Eldians descent, known as the "Subjects of Ymir," can possess the power of the Titans, the Marleyan military selects several children aged 5-7 from Eldians internment camps within the country to inherit this power. Upon inheriting the Titan's power, the inheritor's entire family receives honorary citizenship of Marley and is guaranteed freedom within the country. To prevent rebellion, the Marley government uses the families of Eldian warriors as hostages.

The Eldians of a conquered nation, form the main force of the Marleyan Imperial Military, serving as tools for the Marley Empire's invasions. They are referred to as vile demons by the Middle Eastern Allied Forces. In addition to being responsible for charges and digging fortifications, the warriors wielding the power of the Nine Titans are also used as powerful weapons. When necessary, members of the Warrior Unit can even be transformed into Pure Titans and used as killing machines and cannon fodder.

The Eldians dared not rebel against the Marley Empire, hoped to gain a false sense of Marleyans by pledging allegiance to Marley. Therefore, they targeted the weak and used the power of the Titans to bully other countries, which only made the Eldians' reputation worse throughout the world.

Grisha Yeager and Dina's son, the current Beast Titan, and the captain of the Titan warriors. As a child, he was sent by Grisha Yeager as a spy for the Eldian Restorationists to become a Titan warrior candidate. Later, he reported his parents to the Marleyan military, which caused a devastating blow to the Restorationists.

After his parents were taken away, he lived with his grandparents and later successfully inherited the power of the Beast Titan. Because of his mother's royal blood, he could command the Pure Titans. In 850, he fought against the Survey Corps in the Shiganshina District Vice Admiral, killing a large number of Survey Corps soldiers, including Commander Erwin Smith. He was later severely injured by Survey Corps Captain Levi Ackerman and was rescued by the Cart Titan, thus ending the Paradis Island operation.

In 854, Zeke, with only one year left to live, advised the Marleyan military to restart the Paradis Island operation. After the Battle of Liberio, he defected from the Marleyan military. His whereabouts became unknown after the Rumbling began. In chapter 136, Armin Arlert encountered Zeke in the Path, where Zeke was building sand in place of the Founding Ymir. In chapter 137, after talking with Armin Arlert, Zeke regained his senses and, with the help of Tom Ksaver and other Titans from previous generations, returned to the real world, where he was killed by Levi.

The current Armored Titan, and the vice-captain of the Titan warriors. His father was Marleyans, and his mother was Eldians. Due to his mother's bloodline, his father left him, and he could only live with his mother as Eldians. His childhood dream was to gain people's recognition and be able to live with his parents. In 845, he destroyed Wall Maria in his Titan form. After infiltrating the walls, he fought as a soldier. He was No. 2 of the 104th Training Corps, a mature recruit with a strong physique and willpower. He was deeply trusted by his comrades and his words carried weight among his teammates. In 850, he fought against the Survey Corps in the Shiganshina District and was seriously wounded. By 854, Reiner had only two years left to live.

She lives with her mother in the Liberio Internment Zone, and the two have a good relationship. Calm and brave, taciturn, she is more mature than the other three candidates and remains unfazed by any situation, though sometimes she makes baffling statements and frequently criticizes others. Despite her seemingly aloof demeanor, she deeply cares for her comrades. During the Mid-East Allied Forces War, she helped bandage the wounded Falco Grice and encouraged him after Gabi Falco Grice a long-distance race. She first appeared in the Marley War against the Mid-East Allied Forces. Later, at the banquet on the eve of Willy Tybur's speech, she served as a waiter and deduced the reason why Kiyomi Azumabito covered for Udo to avoid punishment. The next day, she attended the festival with Falco Grice, Gabi, and Udo, and listened to Willy Tybur's speech that evening, learning about history from a hundred years ago. When Eren transformed into a Titan, Sofia was hit by flying rocks and died instantly. Udo tried to pull her body out, causing her to be trampled to death by the fleeing crowd.

The original manga manuscript displayed at the "Attack Titan Final Manga" exhibition mentions its full name as...

A candidate for the next generation of Eldian warriors in Marley. A bespectacled boy who looks well-behaved, but becomes incredibly eccentric when excited. He can understand foreign languages. He succumbed to his injuries when trampled by a panicked crowd during Eren and the Survey Corps' attack on the Liberio Internment Zone.

A candidate for Eldian warrior. During the siege of Slava Fortress, he single-handedly destroyed an armored train equipped with "anti-Titan cannon." He was subsequently regarded as a hero of the Eldians.

He was taught from a young age to be highly motivated and hoped to be chosen to inherit Reiner's "Armored Titan".

Reiner's close relative.

When Eren wreaked havoc at the Liberio Internment Zone, his partner Sofia was killed in the chaos due to being caught in the crossfire of Eren's attack, while Udo was trampled by the fleeing crowd and seriously injured. Deeply frightened, he was protected by Colt Grice.

After confirming Udo's death, Gabi questions why Sofia and Udo had to die. Ignoring Colt Grice's advice to return home, she insists on returning to the arena to fight. On the way, she encounters Marley guard who is usually friendly to her. The guard tells Gabi to go home and not get involved in the fighting. The guard is then sniped and killed by the Survey Corps (Sasha). Because he is a child and unarmed, Sasha lets him go and he escapes. However, Gabi picks up the guard's rifle and goes to the battlefield, intending to shoot Eren to avenge her friend.

When the Warrior Unit were utterly defeated, Gabi was dumbfounded. The powerful giants, who had been used to eliminating and trampling other countries and bullying the weak for many years, were actually killed by a tiny human body. It was like a bolt from the blue.

Gabi's forces on Paradis Island prepared to retreat back to their ship, he shot and killed a soldier covering the rear. Ignoring Falco Grice's attempts to stop him, he boarded the ship via the corpse. Once on board, he immediately opened fire indiscriminately, hitting Sasha and killing her. He was stopped by Falco Grice as he prepared to fire another shot and was eventually captured by the others. He was shocked to learn that Captain Zeke was alive but had allegedly betrayed them. On Paradis Island, he was imprisoned in the same cell as Falco Grice. He later feigned a heart attack to lure the guards to Gate of Opening, then used a cloth filled with bricks to knock them down, allowing him and Falco Grice to escape from the cell. Afterwards, he lived with the Blouse family.

In chapter 111, after revealing to Niccolo that he was the one who killed Sasha, he was attacked by an enraged Niccolo with a wine bottle, but he dodged it thanks to Falco Grice's protection. However, he was still hit in the nose by Niccolo and bled. In chapter 118, he finally realized that the Eldians of Paradis Island were not demons. In chapter 119, he used anti-Titan rifle to shoot off Eren's head, and was one of the people who caused the "Rumbling".

Gabi is a character created by the author after drawing and modifying a female version of Eren, and therefore she resembles Eren in both appearance and personality. The character is based on Eren Jaeger.

A candidate for the next generation of Eldian warriors in Marley, currently wielding the Jaw Titan. In reality, he and his Colt Grice were forced to become warriors to protect their family because his uncle was a member of the Eldian Restorationists. He has a gentle personality and harbors a secret love for Gabi, not wanting Gabi to inherit the Armored Titan and perish. Reiner hopes to save Gabi from a "dark future." After meeting Eren, who had infiltrated Marley under the Kruger, at the hospital, he sent him numerous letters and brought Reiner to meet Eren before the first screening of the Tybur family film.

After learning that Eren had deceived him and caused serious damage, he began to hate Eren. When the Cart Titan was severely damaged by the Survey Corps and Pieck was about to be executed by John, he stepped forward to protect Pieck from the attack with his own body. However, John still attacked Falco Grice and Pieck. Just then, Pieck emerged from the Cart Titan, causing John's Thunder Spear to deflect. Under the cover of Magath and others, he and Gabi took Pieck to a nearby building for shelter. Gabi wanted to fight the enemy alone, he followed her and kept trying to persuade her to retreat. Although she refused, he did not give up. When Gabi shot down the Paradis Island forces and was about to go to the spaceship to die, he remembered Reiner's words and decided to go to the enemy spaceship with her. After boarding the spaceship, when Gabi and John were about to shoot each other, he pounced on Gabi and prevented John and Gabi from dying. He was eventually captured by the Paradis Island forces. On Paradis Island, he was imprisoned in the same cell as Gabi.

Gabi a heart attack to lure the guards into Gate of Opening, and Gabi knocked them down with a cloth filled with bricks. After escaping from prison with Gabi, they lived at the Blouse family. In chapter 111, while saving Gabi from being attacked Gabi Nicholas, Zeke accidentally ingested red wine laced with Zeke's spinal fluid. In chapter 119, due to Zeke's roar, Gabi transformed into a deformed Pure Titans and devoured the severely injured Porco Galliard. In chapter 129, to cover Reiner, Annie, and the others, Gabi used Titan transformation for the first time, but went out of control and nearly ate Pieck, fortunately Magath stopped her in time. In chapter 135, Gabi transformed into a flying Titan and, along with Annie and Gabi, supported Armin Arlert's Alliance.

A candidate for the next generation of Eldian warriors in Marley, he was actually forced to become a warrior along with his younger brother Falco Grice to protect his family because his uncle was a member of the Eldian Restorationists. He is the next successor to the Beast Titan. He also has a remarkably accurate judgment on the battlefield.

During Eren's attack, Sofia was crushed to death by a boulder, so Kurt tried to protect the remaining Udo and Kaya. However, Udo was then trampled by the fleeing crowd, Colt Grice had no choice but to hold Gabi and hide behind the boulder that had crushed Sofia, waiting for the crowd to disperse. After the crowd dispersed, Kurt and Kaya took Udo to seek medical help, while also being extremely worried about the safety of his younger brother Falco Grice.

After Udo was declared terminally ill by the medics based on triage principles, she was deeply saddened, but then tried to return to the venue to search for Falco Grice's whereabouts and asked Kaya to go home. She finally found Falco Grice safe and sound and tried to stop Falco Grice Gabi from pursuing the enemy, but it was too late; she watched helplessly as the two boarded the Survey Corps' ship. During Marley's attack on the Shiganshina District, she searched for Kaya and Falco Grice with Magath Fleet Admiral. First, thanks to Pieck and Porco's infiltration, Kaya was rescued, and then she and Kaya went to find Falco Grice.

For safety, Colt Grice carried a new weapon— the anti-Titan rifle. When Nile Dok brought Falco Grice close to him and Kaya, Kurt attempted to use the weapon, but Kaya stopped him. After Nile Dok returned Falco Grice planned to take him away from the Shiganshina District. While evading enemies, he hid in a house. During a conversation with Falco Grice and Kaya, Kurt learned that Falco Grice had ingested Zeke's spinal fluid and also learned of Falco Grice's feelings for Kaya.

Knowing Zeke was likely to roar, Falco Grice took Falco to plead with Zeke, hoping to get Falco Grice out of the roar's effective range regardless of the fighting between Marley and Eldia. However, after apologizing to Colt Grice and Falco Grice, Zeke still unleashed his roar. Just before Falco Grice was about to transform into a Titan, Colt Grice held Falco Grice tightly, ultimately being burned to a crisp by the heat of his brother's transformation into Pure Titans.

A former Titan who inherited the power of the "Beast Titan," his primary duty is Titan research. He claims that the Beast Titan is not very useful in combat, so compared to other Titan warriors, he doesn't have many opportunities to go into battle. He often practices baseball-style passing and catching alone using the walls in the Liberio district. Once, when he and Magath were looking for a successor, he noticed Zeke, who was at the bottom of the training class. After getting to know Zeke, the two often practiced passing and catching. He asked Zeke if he wanted to become a baseball player, but Zeke refused (because Zeke had a mission to Restorationists).

Compared to Grisha and Dina constantly pressuring Zeke to focus on the Restorationists' mission and demanding achievements in order to inherit the Titan, Tom Ksaver treats him kindly and gently. Until one day, when Zeke learns that Marley has obtained evidence against the Restorationists and is about to arrest Eldian Restorationists and their relatives, Zeke bids farewell to Tom Ksaver. When Kusawa mentions that he will also be implicated by his parents and sent to Paradis Island to become Pure Titans, Kusawa advises Zeke to inform on them first, to learn from his mistakes and ensure the safety of himself and his grandparents. Kusawa also comforts Zeke when Grisha and Dina are arrested.

As time passed, Tom Ksaver's term (13 years) was finally coming to an end. Shortly before being succeeded, he told Zeke that he had a family in the past, had concealed his Eldians identity and married a Marley woman. After his wife discovered this, she killed his son and then committed suicide. At this time, he hated his Eldians identity and wished that he had never existed.

It was also mentioned that his original purpose in inheriting the Beast Titan was to have a glorious suicide (dying in battle), but later he turned to studying the Titans and gained a lot of knowledge about them. He met Zeke by chance and saw the shadow of his son in him. In the process of getting along with Zeke, he also passed on his research to him, which deeply influenced Zeke.

The conclusion reached by Zeke (i. e., the "Euthanasia Plan") is that to save the Eldians, they need to obtain the power of the Founding Titan and use it to transform all the Eldians. The plan is to sterilize the Eldians so that the Eldians and Titans will no longer threaten the world, thus saving the remaining Eldians.

Ultimately, he was killed when Zeke, who had transformed into the Pure Titans, inherited his power (his dying words were to continue protecting Zeke). Afterward, Zeke began wearing the same glasses as him. Before finding Eren (his father), Zeke was the only person in the Marley government during Zeke's childhood as a Marleyan warrior who could confide in him, share secrets with him, and who truly cared for and understood Zeke's pain.

The Anti-Marleyan Volunteers are primarily composed of remnants of the continental nations destroyed by Marley. They infiltrate the Marley forces, acting under the orders of Zeke Yeager, and plotting to overthrow Marley to avenge their national humiliation. They provide Paradis Island with information about Marley and the latest technology to the technologically backward Paradis Island, acting as inside agents to assist the Survey Corps in capturing/destroying all of Marley's reconnaissance ships. However, apart from the Survey Corps, other military units do not trust the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers, imprisoning them and placing them under surveillance.

Initially, they sincerely cooperated with the Legion, but due to the distrust of the Legion's leadership, they eventually lost patience and merged with the Legion members on Paradis Island who supported the Jaeger brothers, forming the Yeagerists. They staged a coup, capturing and imprisoning Legion members loyal to the original Eldia. During their cooperation with the Legion, most of its members had ingested Zeke's spinal fluid. After Zeke used his powers to transform the Legion members monitoring him into Titans, Dot Pixis and the rest of the Legion, realizing they were lambs to the slaughter, became prisoners of the Yeagerists. The Yeagerists differentiated former Legion members based on whether they agreed with the Jaeger brothers' ideology and whether they had ingested Zeke's spinal fluid.

A tall, female lieutenant colonel in the Marleyan military, she was originally a soldier from a country on the mainland. After her homeland was destroyed by Marley, she joined the Marley army. She was saved by Zeke in a battle and admired Zeke, becoming Zeke subordinate. She did not discriminate against Eldians. In 850, after the Survey Corps recaptured Wall Maria, she went to Paradis Island as a member of the first Marley survey fleet.
