Attack on Titan series feature an extensive cast of fictional characters created by Hajime Isayama.
It became the last territory of the Empire of Eldia (エルディア, Erudia) after the Great Titan War and hosts refugees mainly consisting of ethnic Eldians.
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.
As their tasks mainly involve urban patrols and administrative work, they do not experience front-line combat with Titans and often reside in the comfort and safety of the innermost wall.[vol.
They have been shown to be far more skilled and disciplined than the rest of the Military Police, though their main specialties are in fighting other humans rather than Titans.
While most of the operatives are dead during the conflict with Rod Reiss, the rest of them are restrained by the soldiers on the side of Dot Pyxis and Dhalis Zachary.
They are giant humanoid creatures that resemble nude male humans in form, although lacking reproductive organs.[ch.
The Titans have hard skin and regenerative abilities, and can only be killed by inflicting a deep incision at the nape of the neck.
But some Pure Titans, referred to as "Abnormals" (奇行種, Kikō-shū), are fast-moving and intelligent enough to ignore nearby humans for larger populations.
86] It was later revealed that the Titans originate from a unique race of people known as Subjects of Ymir (ユミルの民, Yumiru no Tami, lit.
These people once used the Titan power to establish a glorious empire named Eldia (エルディア, Erudia), and are hence called the Eldians (エルディア人, Erudia-jin).
The Eldians conquered the continent and subjugated the nation of Marley for 1,700 years, and have been addressed as the "spawn of the Devil" (悪魔の末裔, Akuma no Matsuei) by the Marleyans.
[ep 19] While in the Titan form, the human's normal body rests in the nape of the neck, connected via masses of muscular tissue.[vol.
But the 145th Eldian King Karl Fritz felt great shame for his people's actions and carried sympathy for Marley, a former nation which the Eldians conquered and oppressed and collaborated the story of a Marleyan named Helos with the Tybur family to destroy their nation from the inside while rallying the Marleyans into inciting the Great Titan War.
In the aftermath, Fritz took some of his subjects to Paradis and turned some into titans who formed the walls' foundation while most of the rest had their memories altered.
With Karl's involvement in their uprising concealed, the Marleyans seized control of seven of the Titans and subjugated most of Eldia with the exception of Paradis Island.
Any Eldian deemed disobedient to the Marleyan rule (not wearing armbands, leaving Liberio without permits, planning uprisings, or even just joining religious groups) will be punished by the Public Security Authority (治安当局, Chian Tōkyoku) via torture and murder, and even worse: exile as Pure Titans onto Paradis so they can mindlessly devour their compatriots on the island.
Most Warrior cadets are recruited and trained from childhood, expected to carry out the needs of their superiors without question or objection, and serve as expendable shock troops on the battlefield, performing the riskiest and most dangerous tasks and strategies while the other Marleyan soldiers remain out of harm's way.
Due to the rarity of these individuals, efforts are taken to ensure that, if possible, these Warriors are not put into situations which could lead to the loss of one of Marley's Titans.
They held the power of the 15-meter (49 ft) War Hammer Titan (戦槌の巨人, Sentsui no Kyojin) for generations, but only a select few knew of the inheritor's identity.
The latest organization was formed by an anonymous sleeper agent hidden inside the Marleyan Public Security Authority nicknamed "the Owl" (フクロウ, Fukurou), who supplied weapons, funds and historical documents to the Restorationists.
By looking at illustrations written in an ancient language nobody can read, they rejected Marley's vilified version of Eldian history and believed it to be lying propagandas, and concluded that Ymir Fritz was a goddess who used the power of the Titans to cultivate lands, build roads, bridging mountains and bring prosperity to mankind.
However, Zeke snitched on his parents to the Marleyan authorities, and all the Restorationists members were arrested, tortured and exiled to Paradis as Pure Titans.
The Anti-Marleyan Volunteers (反マーレ義勇兵, Han Māre Giyū-hei) are a group of underground rebel soldiers serving within the Marleyan Army, membership largely composing of people from countries that Marley conquered in its aggressive territorial expansion.
Holding a severe grudge after being conscripted to fight for the country that oppressed them, the Volunteers aspired to overthrow the Marleyan government for their freedom.
