Darius Zackly

Height 165 cm. Weight 82 kg. The commander-in-chief overseeing the three military branches, excluding the Training Corps. He convenes a special military tribunal with the presence of the three branch leaders to determine the fate of Eren, who possesses the power to transform into a Titan. When Erwin was captured on suspicion of killing Dimo Reeves, he did not show any overt actions, but after receiving false reports of a Titan attack (due to Erwin's stratagem), he decided to abandon Wall Rose and turned against the government, siding with Pixis. He detained King Fritz and his subordinates, seizing control of the capital and various administrative institutions. Later, he revealed that he had harbored a deep-seated animosity towards the high-ranking officials of the royal government even before Erwin's uprising and had been secretly biding his time for a coup. After the capital's seizure, he gleefully conducted (quite perverse) torture on the detained high-ranking officials, much to Pixis's half-amusement. He also explained to Erwin that it is natural for personal desires to take precedence over positions, sense of duty, and morality, as it is human nature. In 854, after denying Mikasa and Armin a meeting with Eren, he was killed by a bomb planted in a torture chair by the Yeagerists. In the spin-off work "No Regrets," he is depicted allowing negotiations with the parliament over the introduction of the long-range scouting formation devised by Erwin and the recruitment operation of Levi from his thug days, showing his personal expectations for the Survey Corps. There is also a depiction of him being personally close to Keith, who was the commander of the Survey Corps at the time.
