Zeke Yeager
“Marley's War Chief and Eren's half-brother — the intellectual who designed extinction as salvation for his own people.”
A massive primate-like Titan that retains intellect and speech — commands the battlefield while fighting directly.
A scream that turns Eldians who consumed his spinal fluid into Titans — the decisive weapon at Liberio.
Rock throws with devastating accuracy that eliminate entire squads in seconds.
Zeke is the series' defining tragic intellectual. A childhood wound — betraying his own parents to Marley — became a lifelong ideology: Eldian euthanasia as mercy. He explains every plan with clinical detachment, but the plan itself is a scar from boyhood, revealed only in the final arc. Under Marley or beside Eren, he held his own logic until the end.
