Bertolt Hoover

Bertolt Hoover was an Eldian born on the continent of Marley. He and other Eldian children participated in the "warrior" program in order to obtain one of the seven Titan powers in Marley's possession. Bertolt became the best soldier in training in marksmanship, passing as one of the warriors who would take one of the Titan powers. Finally, Bertolt became friends with Reiner and received from Marley the power of the Colossal Titan to carry out the mission of finishing off the Eldians on Paradis Island and to recover the power of the Founding Titan. [1] Bertolt appeared outside Wall Maria in his Colossal Titan form. His transformation caught the attention of the entire Shiganshina District due to the loud bang he caused when he hit the edge of the wall with his left hand. Moments later, while everyone was still shaking in fear, he kicked down the gate with a simple kick, allowing the surrounding titans to enter the district, and the debris that was thrown out killed several people when it hit the ground. During graduation training, he is described as someone with many talents, but lacking initiative, according to Keith Shadis. He finally manages to graduate from the 104th cycle recruit troop, finishing in third place in the top 10, only below his friend Reiner and Mikasa. He was a graduate of Recruit Troop Cycle No. 104, third in the top 10 of his class and a member of the Exploration Corps.

He, like Reiner Braun and Annie Leonhart, possessed the ability to transform into a Titan and served a unit of Marleyan soldiers known as Warriors. In 845, he infiltrated the walls with the mission of finding and seizing the power of the Founding Titan. He must keep his identity as a Titan a secret from any Eldean on Paradis. While on Paradise Island he pretends to be a soldier of the Scouting Legion.

He used to be quiet and shy, somewhat reserved, someone who tended to follow the others due to his weak will. Even his instructor observed him as someone with a lot of potential, but lacking initiative. He did not tend to act unless the situation called for it. Bertolt considered himself a coward and a person with low self-esteem. Between Reiner and Annie, he seemed to be the least emotionally committed to his mission. Although he initially seemed to show little remorse for his actions, after being confronted by his former companions, he revealed himself to be someone very emotional, as well as showing more guilt than he initially let on. He tended to be distrustful of others, acting only as a voice of reason for Reiner. Bertolt was also someone analytical and observant. He himself pointed out Armin's behavior, correctly deducing his weak point and was not scared when Armin threatened him with his gun as he was aware that he could do nothing while trembling and hesitating.

Bertolt was able to transform into the Colossal Titan, a 60-meter-tall giant of extremely immense proportions, capable of peering over walls effortlessly. Physically, it can be seen that his head was small compared to the rest of his body and his arms were thin. He was characterized by having no skin, leaving his muscle tissue and jaw exposed. His mouth had a strange appearance, it was long and had 2 tendons that supported it, and it also emanated enormous amounts of water vapor from his body. When transformed, he obtains enormous strength, with the ability to destroy enormous constructions, such as walls, in addition to expelling large amounts of water vapor. Due to his gigantic size, he is incredibly slow, which makes it quite easy for any soldier with the EDM3D to be able to attack him without any problem. Like Eren, Bertolt is capable of partially transforming, which makes his size smaller and takes up less space than usual. He does not seem to control his titan form very well, as he has been seen transformed for very short periods of time, and after transforming and returning to normal, he is unable to transform a second time for a long period of time. It could be said that he wastes a lot of energy, compared to the other shifting titans. Unlike the rest of the titans, Bertolt is able to dissolve his titan form almost instantly, disappearing from sight in a matter of seconds. Regeneration: Bertolt, like any regular titan or shifting titan, is able to recover from any injury simultaneously in both his titan form and his human form. Enhanced Strength: Due to its immense size, the Colossal Titan is the physically strongest Titan seen so far. Along with the Armored Titan (Reiner), they are the only ones capable of damaging and breaking down the doors of the walls. Its strength is such that with a single kick, it destroys a wall.

He is good at hand-to-hand combat, and especially at using the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment. He possesses several talents, but lacks initiative, so he acts only when asked or convenient.

His skills with the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment were never fully displayed, however, he was selected alongside other soldiers for the mission to recover the Resupply Headquarters, managing to kill a titan with ease.

After transforming and returning to normal, he is unable to transform a second time for a long period of time. It could be said that he wastes a lot of energy, compared to the other Titan Shifters. Unlike the rest of the Titans, Bertolt is able to dissolve his Titan form almost instantly, disappearing from sight in a matter of seconds. Regeneration: Bertolt, like any regular Titan or Titan Shifter, is able to recover from any injury simultaneously in both his Titan and human forms. Enhanced Strength: Due to its immense size, the Colossal Titan is the physically strongest Titan seen so far. Along with the Armored Titan, they are the only ones capable of damaging and breaking down the gates of the walls. Its strength is such that with a single kick, it was able to destroy the gate of Shiganshina, damaging nearby buildings and sending people who were nearby flying into the air. Likewise, with just a swing of its arm, it was able to destroy the cannons on top of the Rose Wall, sending those in the area flying and injuring them. With its overwhelming physical strength, given Bertolt's extreme slowness in his titan form that prevents him from catching fast opponents using the three-dimensional maneuvering gear, Bertolt possesses another defense mechanism, which involves the expulsion of enormous amounts of water vapor, which is extremely hot and is expelled with great power. This vapor is powerful enough to deflect the cables of the EDM3Ds, while burning and repelling their users. However, this ability requires a sacrifice on Bertolt's part, since each time he expels vapor, his titan's body mass decreases. Despite this,

The Marley Army is the union of several military forces of the country, the infantry, the navy and the infamous unit of the Warriors.

Organization: Marley's main military force consists of the powers of the Titans it has under its possession. This has allowed it to maintain its dominance over several territories around the world, but is also the reason why its weapons technology is outdated compared to other countries. The total number of members of the military exceeds 30,000 soldiers.[1]

Chain of command: The various branches of the military are under the command of a general, a position that Calvi held until his death. Below the general are several commanders who command the military's various units. Following the annihilation of several officers during the Battle of Liberio, Theo Magath becomes the de facto general of the army, a position that Willy Tybur promised him before his death.[2]

Conscription: Marley used this system to swell its ranks until it was abolished. As a result, many young Eldians enlisted in the military. In 854, Magath pushed for the reintroduction of this recruitment system for young Marleyans in order to confront the armed forces of Paradis and other nations.[3]

Warriors generally follow the orders of their superiors without question or objection (or at least that is what is expected of them). From a young age, young Eldians are indoctrinated into believing that their ethnicity has only brought trouble to the world, as they are the only humans capable of becoming Titans. With this idea in mind, some Eldian children volunteer for the military, hoping to become warriors and then leave the internment zones to live as honorary citizens of Marley. Having been indoctrinated from a very young age, warriors obey the orders of their superiors without question. Some do so out of blind faith, honestly believing in Marley's words, and others do so out of fear, knowing that insubordination can result in death or, worse, the punishment of being turned into mindless Titans. Regardless of the reason, warriors uphold their sense of duty to the country of Marley no matter the situation.

It is a country located outside the walls crossing the ocean, in ancient times Marley had been conquered by the ancient Eldian Empire and several centuries later, during the conflict known as the Great War of the Titans, the Marleyans rebelled against their Eldian enemies and managed to seize the territory they had occupied militarily, with the exception of Paradis Island.

Marley is currently the main enemy of the nation of Eldia, which lives within the walls of Paradis, and in order to keep its inhabitants within the walls, they created dozens of pure titans that would roam the island forever. In the year 854, Marley officially declared war on Paradis. In the Great Titan War, the Eldian Empire fell to Marley and lost 8 of the nine Titan powers it possessed. Since the 145th King Fritz did not want to continue the war, he decided to exile himself and a large part of the Eldian population to Paradis Island, putting an end to the conflict. Using the Coordinate, he built 3 enormous walls (Maria, Rose, Sina) to protect himself and his people from Marley. To do this, he employed a large number of colossal-sized Titans and their hardening power in order to build the Maria, Rose and Sina walls, but the main defense would be about ten million Titans that would be in charge, on the one hand, of preventing an attack from Marley and, on the other, the escape of Eldians to the outside world. In the Great Titan War, the Eldian Empire fell to Marley and lost 8 of the 9 Titan powers it possessed. Since the 145th King Fritz did not want to continue the war, he decided to exile himself along with a large part of the Eldian population to Paradis Island, putting an end to the conflict. Using the Coordinate, he built 3 huge walls to protect himself and his people from Marley. For the Eldeans of Marley, they consider the Eldeans of Paradis to be "demons"
