Zackly... just you wait... your blood is the blood of slaves. The flesh and blood of us in the nobility is different... you'll lose your memories soon enough. You'll even forget how to defecate...
~ Aurille threatening Darius Zackly that the Royal Government will retain its power, despite the military's uprising.
Once we finally execute him, all will be according to plan. And just like they always have, the Wall's secrets stay safe. We'll protect the peace within the Walls. Forever...
~ Aurille to his fellow Ministers on ending Erwin Smith's life to protect their power within the Walls.

Aurille is a supporting antagonist of Attack on Titan and one of the four main members of the Royal Government of Eldia. He was eventually imprisoned by the military after the coup d'etat.

He is a member of one of the five highest ruling noble families of humanity within the Walls of Paradis Island, which include the new Fritz noble family unrelated to the royal one. Aurille's family and the other four serve under the Reiss family in ruling humanity within the Walls, but they are not Subjects of Ymir and only breed amongst each other's members, never mingling with the rest of the population, at least in marriage. Because of this, Aurille and the other four ruling families are immune to the Founding Titan's powers.

Once the ruling noble families that were not Subjects of Ymir used to be more, including the Azumabito family, but they turned their back on the Reiss family due to wanting to leave the Walls, resulting with the government hunting them down to kill them.

Appearance[]

Aurille appears to be a small and stout man, with short, neat and clean brown hair. He has strained wrinkles around his mouth, his brown eyes and his forehead making him look tensed and weary. He has a 'chubby' body and is considerably small. He wears profligate clothing commonly seen in the nobility class.

During his torture, he was only allowed to wear clothing such as socks in order to humiliate him and after the crowning of Historia Reiss, Aurille was placed in a prison where he wore simple jail attire.

Personality[]

Aurille is a cruel and selfish man who makes his living leeching from unfair and egotistic power hierarchy systems. His only attentions go to what benefits him and only him, never seeming to care about the comfort of the general population. When Wall Maria got invaded by titans, he along with the other members of the royal government got the refugees killed by using a fake retrieval operation so that there were less mouths to feed. This shows Aurille's selfishness because he alongside the rest of the nobility live luxurious lives in the safety of the interior, owning large portions of land and having easy access to food, mainly because he cares more about his own costs then the lives of others and fundamentally anything else.

Aurille was noticed to be rather pompous and serious in his interactions with others, but when things didn't go his way he quickly loses his composure and can start exploiting his extreme authority onto others, knowing that there wouldn't be any consequences to it.

Another trait is his low outlook on the overall larger general population from a eugenics point of view, while upholding the nobility class. Such as when he said to Zackley that he has "slave" blood, because he and the rest of the normal civilians are respective to the powers from the Founding Titan. Showing that Aurille's high egotistical behavior isn't just caused from being of a higher social class, but also that he views his status as a member from the nobility to be sign of ancestral superiority.

Biography[]

Background[]

Like all the other members of the uppermost nobility class living inside the Interior of the Walls (the innermost area in the center within Wall Sina), Aurille's ancestors were not Subjects of Ymir, and maybe not even Eldians in the first place. While Annie suggests they might have been different races of Eldians, the ancestors of these noble bloodlines might have come from other nations. For examples, some of them allied with the Eldian Empire during their reign over the world, while others might have been servants who were freed and made into rulers of the Walls. During the fall of the empire and the conflict known as the Great Titan War, Aurille's ancestors were one of the families given authority over the Walls by Karl Reiss, the First King of humanity within the Walls. As the people of the Interior did not mix with the rest of the population, Aurille being born as a normal human without having any of Ymir Fritz’s blood in him, makes Aurille unable to harness any Titan powers, nor does he have any connection with Ymir's soul and the Paths. But this was at his birth already an advantage, because Aurille and the other nobles were incapable of being controlled by the Founding Titan who held the power to alter the minds and bodies of all Subjects of Ymir.

Aurille was born on September 9th in an unspecified year, he likely came from one of the most influential noble families inside Paradis Island. At some point in his life, Aurille became one of the four main members from the Royal Government's assembly, a restricted council for only the deepest leaders of the monarchy, which includes the figurehead kings who rule on the Reiss family's behalf. Under the Reiss kings, Aurille would be responsible for making the most important decisions and keep the general populace comfortable.

Although in the story's present time, King Fritz is supposed to be the one leading the assembly and publicly act as a ruler in King Reiss' behalf, the figurehead ruler does not show any sign of assertiveness nor interest to work with his colleagues, and also has gone senile due to his age. This behavior actually frustrates Aurille, because the fake King does not help him and the other government officials to rule by acting as a real ruler that people can follow and respect. Instead Aurille, Gerald, Deltoff, and Roderich always have to speak for the King and control the rest of the government leaders, the chancellery, all the armed nobility and regional lords of the Walls, the military, the wealthy citizens, and the common folk. All monarchy's administration is controlled and governed by Rod Reiss, officially just another regional lord from northern Wall Rose and controlled the politics since the death of Uri, having guided his eldest daughter Frieda during her rule.

Aurille is known to have served at least Uri Reiss, Frieda Reiss and Rod Reiss, and was seen along with his other colleagues and the deepest members of the Military Police's First Interior Squad praying for God's eternal peace within the Walls. Along with the rest of the ruling families, Aurille knows secrets about the Walls' society and history, and owns secret technology that is kept hidden from the public to avoid development within the Walls.

He and his family know that the Walls are entirely built with the hardening of huge Titans, the existence of Intelligent Titans and their inheritance through spinal fluid consumption. By the time the serial killer Kenny Ackerman was employed by Uri as a government enforcer and member of Mitras' Military Police, Aurille was already a member of the royal assembly. His family, the Reiss family, and the other four noble families ruling the population are all involved with the Church and pass the secrets of the Titans and the real royal bloodline of Reiss to the most trusted and loyal Pastors.

Although he is tyrannical and overbearing, Aurille is ultimately always loyal to the Reiss family and a supporter of their ideology and worship of the Founding Titan. He abuses his power and still views the blood of the royal family as the "blood of slaves", because in the end the Reiss are also Subjects of Ymir, whilst in the days of the Eldian Empire, being a Subject of Ymir was a sign of great status and superiority, but within the Walls it is just being a common "slave". Mainly because most of the population are Subjects of Ymir and their minds and bodies can all be altered by the Founder, except for Aurille and the other "pure" bloodlines.

Despite the number of lives that depended on him, Aurille would often abuse his powers to keep himself and the rest of the ruling nobility at the top. Having no issues with corruption or having a large gap between poor and rich, because he felt that if the population wouldn’t suspect that they aren't being treated in the best of ways, he wouldn't be overthrown. This dappling in subterfuge would continue for many years to come and found its peak at the year 846.

Story[]

Fall of Wall Maria arc[]

After the Titans broke trough Wall Maria, a large number of refugees came flooding into Wall Rose. A lot of human territory and regions were lost, many nobles and regional lords had to leave their lands, and a great deal of huge business companies from all three Walls suffered financial issues, as most of them owned many activities and enterprises in Wall Maria. The citizens of Trost District also fell in a panic, due to them becoming the closest ones to the Titans, who mainly advanced from the south. Two days after the disaster, Aurille and the other members of the Royal Government had to concentrate all of human activity in Wall Rose and decided that these refugees were going to work on the lands as an effort to boost up food rations, in an attempt to prevent famine and conflicts.

On the night right after Wall Maria fell, the Reiss royal family was unexpectedly massacred by Grisha Yeager in their own hideout in northern Wall Rose, leaving the patriarch Rod Reiss, as the sole survivor. Instead of informing the assembly of the event, Rod kept secret to them the fact that he had actually lost the Founding Titan, to avoid overbearing rulers like Aurille usurping the Reiss power, as Rod started to feel that the Reiss would lose their position in the world as the ones "above humanity" and in the center.

Having lost his family's key of power, Reiss feared to lose his place in the world and a few days after the tragedies that occured, he headed to a farm owned by himself to take custody of his illegitimate daughter Historia Reiss, seeking her royal blood. His government officials, including Aurille, discovered Rod's intentions and opposed his decision and they were infuriated that Rod was going to introduce himself as the father of a common peasant girl not involved with the nobility. Neither Aurille nor anyone else, however, understood why suddenly Rod was after Historia, not even the Interior Police, and they all assumed the Fall of Wall Maria caused him to act strange.

Aurille and the other ministers of the assembly viewed Rod as selfish and irresponsible, who kept ignoring his duty towards the Reiss family to do as he pleased. On the same night Rod and his lover Alma went to take Historia, Aurille and his colleagues sent Kenny Ackerman, Djel Sannes and other officers of the Interior's Military Police Brigade, all disguised in black coats, to kill both Alma and Historia to prevent Rod from embarassing the "holy" reputation of the Reiss. On Rod's command, however, Historia was spared and allowed to live a quiet life as far away from the Reiss lands and the Interior as possible, forcing her to take a new identity and to join the Training Corps at southern Wall Rose as soon as she would have been of eligible age in two years. Aurille and his colleagues were not pleased, as they preferred Historia to be dead, but Rod enforced his authority and it was decided that Historia would continue living. The royal assembly instructed the Church of the Walls to monitor the girl.

Only later, Aurille and the rest of the assembly would find out from Rod that Frieda and the rest of the Reiss family was murdered by the Attack Titan Grisha, after Rod was eventually forced to reveal Frieda's absence and how the Reiss chapel was destroyed. Rod keeping secret the fact that the Founding Titan was lost would cause the anger of the assembly and Kenny at Rod for displaying more selfishness and irresponsible behavior. Despite this, Aurille and the others still did not support the idea of letting Historia live with Rod and becoming his heir, due to her being born from an affair, and instead wanted Rod to marry again and have new legitimate children.

The efforts of the monarchy to have the refugees produce more food were not enough to prevent a huge food shortage crisis in Wall Rose, which caused rising hostilities between the Wall Maria refugees and the citizens of Wall Rose. The resources dwindled, and during the winter, to cold and harsh ground unfortunately did not raise enough extra food and things were starting to escalate in a possible civil war, which increased the risk of the involvement of Wall Sina and the possibility of the people of Maria and Rose trying to breach it. Eventually in 846, one year after the Fall of Wall Maria, Rod Reiss, Aurille and the rest of the Royal Government made a plan to get rid of the war problem. The monarchy declared the Operation to Reclaim Wall Maria, a mission were the majority of the refugees had to go back to Wall Maria with the Survey Corps to fight the Titans and reclaim back the land. The government forced the majority of the refugees to join this mission, under the Survey Corps' leadership.

The mission was a complete disaster; from the around 250.000 people who were send out, less than 200 of them came back alive. Almost the entire remaining population of Wall Maria was killed and devoured by the Titans, resulting with the death of 20% of the overall population within the Walls, one fifth of the population. The overall remaining refugees left in Wall Rose were so few and outnumbered by the population of Wall Rose that civil war never erupted, and the food shortage was also slightly eased enough to avoid chaos, although the remaining refugees keep providing food for themselves by hunting, fishing and working on lands that belonged to Wall Rose's citizens, although at that point the people of Wall Maria merged with those of Rose.

Although to most people, a to all after the operation, it was clear what the not-so-secret intentions of Aurille and the rest of the government were; they simply wanted to shorten the amount of refugees so there were fewer mouths to feed. They could not come up with any solution to handle the large masses of unemployed people they could not feed, and thus the true King Rod Reiss and his council decided it was either sacrificing the majority of the refugees, or risk their paradise and the peace within the Walls.

The Wall Maria recapture operation was in truth only the Royal Government's final solution to alleviate the food shortage brought by the significant loss of territory, and it was silently supported by the whole military and all the people of Wall Rose and Sina, who did not protest for the refugees' lives, whilst being perfectly aware what the monarchy's true objective always was. Thus, according to Commander Dot Pyxis this sin is equally bore by all humanity within the Walls, including the refugees who did not have to join the suicide mission, as most of the population always knew that the unemployed masses were being kicked out of the human territory and given to the Titans. No one objected the Royal Government's decision, because everyone was afraid of civil war and the loss of order, so they accepted the sacrifice.

Royal Government arc[]

Aurille made his first appearance during a meeting with his fellow ministers, Rod Reiss and Djel Sannes. Aurille questions Rod for giving out large amounts of food rations to the people of Trost District, who began suffering after the gate was destroyed and Titans fled the city. Rod says it's necessary to uphold the public's hopeful perception towards the Royal family and that its "power" shall swiftly arrive to them, as Kenny Ackerman and his squad are tasked to finally bring the Founding Titan back to the Reiss family.

During a second meeting, Aurille is seen with the other Ministers and the Puppet King. They discuss the overall issues at hand with the Survey Corps, as well as Erwin Smith's Eren Yeager's and Historia Reiss's whereabouts. Deltoff asks Aurille the exact extent of knowledge that the Survey Corps possesses after their allyship with Pastor Nick. Aurille however sums it up as it being a double-edged sword, because even simply questioning members of the Survey Corps could accidentally reveal some information to be used against them, so Deltoff's question can't truly be answered. Minister Gerald believes that the fact in and of itself that they tried to gain secret knowledge not intended for them should be met with punishment. Their meeting is suddenly interupted by a servant who gives Aurille a note written by Rod Reiss. He reads it and retells to his associates that Eren Yeager and Historia have successfully been captured, while also claiming that move against the Survey Corps and Erwin shall be implemented, but without help of Aurille and the rest of the Royal Government.

During the third and last meeting, Aurille is seen sitting in a room with the other Ministers, talking about the lack of secret information the Survey Corps possesses after having tortured Erwin. Aurille states that they are all simply birds stuck in a cage, "just waiting to die." A servant walks in and tells them about Erwin's arrival. The Ministers get up and proceed to go into the main throne hall. Aurille explains that once they get rid of Erwin, all opposition against them will die with him, thus revealing that they have already made up their mind surrounding Erwin's sentence. Aurille claims that when things can go back like they were in the beginning, the "peace" inside the Walls will be protected once more.

Aurille, the other Ministers and King Fritz are seen sitting in the throne room as Erwin is brought in by numerous members of the military. Aurille officially begins the trial by asking Erwin if he has any final words.

Erwin claimes that the Survey Corps acts as the "spear" for humanity, and that they can't rely on only the defense or the "shield". He states that if the Survey Corps were disbanded that fighting force will be extinguished, and that the ramifications surrounding that will be catastrophic. He proceeds to give an example, that if Wall Rose was to breached. All evacuees that shall storm into Wall Sina will deplete the provisions almost immediately. That Titans invading Wall Rose wouldn't cause the downfall of humanity, but rather the refugees coming into Wall Sina. Civil war will break out dividing humanity until all will eventually be destroyed. Thus reclaiming Wall Maria by the hands of the Survey Corps will be humanity's only true chance of survival.

Aurille response rather indifferent, claiming that their attention is currently not going to what Erwin is talking about, he understands Erwin's position but he judges him persisting with his own plans, without regard for the rest of the government. Keeping hold of Eren Yeager and having members in his organization who killed soldiers from the Military Police Brigade. Aurille also proceeds to blame Erwin for the death of Dimo Reeves, essentially scapegoating him while framing him and his organization to be aggressors, thus Erwin has in the eyes of Aurille and the other Ministers failed to live up to "Clause Six, Character of Humanity", "Thou shall not prioritize one's own gain over the longevity of humanity." Aurille listens to the dialogue of Garrison commander, Dot Pixis, who seems to agree with the words that the Ministers have said, and states that while the Garrison and Survey Corps have fought together, they aran't necessarily comrades. That humans fighting one another is senseless and that the Survey Corps as such must be disbanded.

The Ministers having heard enough decide to discuss with one another on the matter, with Aurille asking the King's permission. After a not so long and thorough conversation, the Ministers have determined Erwin's sentence. Aurille speaks for himself, the other Ministers and the King while stating Erwin's judgement. Aurille alleges that Erwin has violated Clause Six, Character of Humanity, and thus has been sentence to death. The Minister orders the soldiers surrounding Erwin to take him to the execution platform, as his punishment will be carried out immediately.

Aurille and the others watch as Erwin is being taken away, until completely out of nowhere, a soldiers storms into the throne hall, yelling that Wall Rose has been breached. The Colossal and Armored Titans appeared in Calenth District, destroying their gates causing Titans to flood the city and later Wall Rose. The refugees have already been starting to flood into Wall Sina. This information shocks Aurille and the rest of the Ministry to their cores. Pixis immediately launches a evacuation operation, by establishing escape routes for the refugees in the eastern District.

Aurille however, frantically shouts that the gates of Wall Sina must stay closed and that not a single evacuee can be let in. Commander of the Military Police Nile Dok, is shocked by hearing this, and tells Aurille that he's basically ordering for half of humanity to be killed. Aurille stays by his order, rationalizing it by claiming Erwin's earlier predicament to be the most likely outcome if they let the refugees inside Wall Sina. Nile attempts to reason by saying it was just a hypothetical scenario, but Aurille angrily responds the possibility of it being true is too great, and they have been giving their orders.

He then talks and reassures his fellow Ministers that the power of the Founding Titan will quickly be restored to the Reiss family, who they believe will protect them if Wall Sina was to brought down, so for now, all they can do is just wait for Lord Reiss. Aurille then notices that the soldiers aren't doing anything, causing Aurille to state that deifying them means capital punishment. Commander Nile firmly tells the man that he won't fulfill his order, as he is a citizen of Wall Rose, Aurille once again shouts at him but is stopped by commander-in-chief, Darius Zackley.

Pixis asks Zackley if he's surprised by the Ministers response to the situation, only for him to confirm that it was exactly as he predicted. Aurille is shocked by what's going on and shouts at Zackley to give him a proper explanation, Pixis however, tells Aurille that all of this was his doing. He explains that because the majority of the Interior Police was stationed somewhere outside of Mitras for a brief period of time, that they now had a lucky chance to perform this rebellious act. Aurille and the rest of the Ministry are still confused by what's happening, but Pixis brings up a previous point he made to Gerald, that although they of the Garrison aren't associated with those of the Survey Corps, he isn't associated with them either.

The Commander goes as far as to admit that he was genuinely considering leaving the fate of humanity in the hands of the Ministers, as he started becoming aware that they certainly had more knowledge on the Titans than they did, even sending Erwin to be hanged, he would let happen if it meant the best for humanity. But because of the lack of care they've shown to the people inside the Walls, they executed this fake Wall Rose being breached scenario to test to finally put humanity over themselves, which they as expected didn't do. Aurille and his associates are left speechless from hearing this, worsens with Pixis proclaiming that within their shallow ignorance of these Titans could surely save more people than they ever could. Aurille angrily shouts that this shallow threat of theirs means nothing over the more powerful voices from the noble lords and King, with him believing that the general population will always believe the crown over them. Pixis understands that they still don't know the full extent of their rebellion, explaining that it isn't just a threat but a full scale Coup d'état.

Anna Rheinberger tells Pixis and Zackley that the remaining members of the Interior Police have all been apprehended, distressing Aurille and the rest of the Ministry even more. Zackly proclaims that a soldier would much rather follow a superior officer then figure of the monarchy, Pixis supports this by claiming the King to be a fake figurehead, and with them in power will put the true ruler in place. Aurille tells them that everything they say can just be considered a hoax, clearly being oblivious that the agency of Berg Newspapers have released information to the public regarding the Military Police being responsible for the death of Dimo Revees and that they essentially scapegoated the Survey Corps, while also reporting that the current King is fake and true ruler was secluded away.

Erwin finishes off the already troubled situation by describing their biggest mistake, violating "Clause Six, Character of Humanity". Not only from wanting the residents of Wall Rose to die of, but also by installing a fake King to keep themselves at the top for decades. Aurille now having no trump card up his sleeve anymore, frustratingly marches towards King Fritz and kicks his throne, angrily telling him to wake up. The King on the other hand is completely ignorant to what has been happening and asks if it's time to eat, which only angers Aurille even more.

Aurille, the rest of the Ministry and the fake King have been placed under arrest, and are taken away by the now defected soldiers.

Aurille would be placed in a jail cell, only for him and his associates to be met with a rather dubious punishment for their crimes. Zackley, who was planning to commit a Coup d'état ever since he was young, had commissioned to build a "special chair" for the Ministry to be tortured in. Aurille was placed in said chair where he was forced to consume food trough his rectum while also occasionally being forced to consume his own urine by a hose attached to his penis. Zackley visits him and tells him that he has waited to see this moment for a very long time, while also calling it "the greatest work of art ever achieved."

He relays to Aurille that he and the rest of the Ministry will be paraded like this once a week to the people in Mitras, as in Zackley's mind is the only way for Aurille to get his true comeuppance for the people he tyrannized. Aurille firmly tells Zackley that he has the blood of "slaves" and that the blood of the nobility is much different, considering that they aren't effected by the powers from the Founding Titan. Aurille claims that Zackley will soon lose his memories to the point when he doesn't even how to defecate, but he is stopped by the Commander who puts the hose in his mouth while laughing that these arguments are getting stale and repetitive.

After the true King Lord Reiss was defeated and his daughter Historia was crowned as queen. Aurille and his associates were seen being transferred into a prison, having now fully lost his power. It's assumed that Aurille remained in jail for the rest of his life.
