The Bearded Titan, also known as Comrade C, is a minor antagonist in Attack on Titan, being seen during the Battle of Trost District arc, and a minor flashback character in the Return to Shiganshina arc, appearing both as a human and as a Titan, and having only one line.

He was an elderly man from Marley and one of the main members of the Eldian Restorationists from the Liberio internment zone under the leadership of the "Owl" Eren Kruger and Grisha Yeager. After the betrayal of the Restorationist mole from the Marleyan military, Zeke Yeager, the man and the rest of his movement were arrested for treason, conspiracy, and terrorism by Marley's Public Security Authorities and was condemned to serve a life sentence to the penal colony Paradis Island as a Pure Titan forever, along with the rest of his friends.

Other known victims who were sent to Paradis along with him and Grisha are Dina Fritz, the Jumping Titan (who ate Thomas Wagner), Comrade D the Peering Titan (who killed Mina Carolina), and the Bigmouth Titan (who killed Nac Tias and Mylius Zeramuski).

Story[]

Past[]

The unnamed man was born an Eldian man in the nation of Marley and used to live inside an Eldian internment zone in the city of Liberio. He was likely victimized in the same manner other Eldians had to tolerate in Marley, being heavily insulted and persecuted against by the Marleyan population for his race, being a Subject of Ymir. He would later in his life join the Eldian Restorationists movement some time before Grisha Yeager, which was organized by a mole informant within the Marleyan government known as "the Owl". Along with the rest of his comrades, he advocated for the fall of Marley and rebirth of Eldia.

In 824, This man was present at the hailing of their newest member, Grisha Yeager, and watched Grisha's reaction upon learning about the causes of his sister's death that occured seven years ago, at the hands of a Public Security officer; an information disclosed by the spy Owl himself. The man zealously hailed Grisha on with his fellow comrades as he tearfully carved his flesh with a knife as a sign of patriotism.

Later on the same year, Comrade C was seen along with Grisha, Grice, Comrade D, and the other Restorationists reading old writings and illustrations sent by the Owl, whilst others check stolen guns that the Owl obtained from the military. The whole group listened to Grisha interpreting ancient texts, which narrated Eldia's development from a small tribe into a powerful nation. The old man listened to Grisha's own assumption that the "goddess" Ymir Fritz helped the continent prosper using the power of her Titan, firmly claiming that any negative aspect and event of Eldia's history was either fabricated by Marley and other enemy nations, or that any conflict was the fault of any other party other than Eldia. Grisha claimed that he believed in their founder Ymir, causing this unnamed Comrade to happily cheer him on with the others.

Suddenly, Comrade B stormed in and announced the arrival of a woman sent by the Owl himself, Dina Fritz, who introduced herself as the last living member of Eldia's true royal family that ruled most of the world for centuries. The unnamed Comrade was seen sitting with the other rebels as Dina provided more detailed information from the Fritz family about the history of the Great Titan War and the defeat of the 145th King Karl Fritz, who had survived and moved the kingdom to Paradis Island where he had erected the Walls.

Following the Owl's indirect instructions and Dina's exposition, Grisha concluded that the Restorationists' ultimate goal was to retake the power of the Founding Titan and bring it back to the mainland in order to use it to control all the other seven of the Nine Titans under Marley's control and use them to wage war and instigate riots within the internment zones to take down Marley once more. The Restorationists at that point were unaware about the specific conditions to use the Founder's powers. After Dina explained that King Karl had refused to fight with the Founding Titan, Grisha declared the Subjects of Ymir to be the "chosen people of God", as it was claimed during the days of the Eldian Empire, and that the Restorationists would infiltrate the Walls in the near future and retake the power of the Founding Titan from the royal family's branch of the Walls to give it back to Dina's line. The other Restorationists hailed passionately in response, crying out for Eldia's revival.

Six years later, in 830, the Marleyan government announced the training of soldiers for the military's Warrior program, to inherit six of the Nine Titans. However, this time the government decided to accept only young children as eligible to become Warriors, and no longer adult soldiers. Comrade C was seen beside another Comrade during an alarming discussion with the other Restorationists, listening to Grisha reading the Owl's disclosure of information that at the time was still secret affairs of state of the Marleyan government concealed from the public. For almost a century, Marley had been ruling as the world's superpower nation by using the Titan soldiers of the Eldian Unit to pursue the nation's imperialistic policies, but with the constant progress of human technology, it was clear that the long age of Titan world domination was finally coming to an end, and the main source of military power was going to be fuel, not Eldian blood. The Owl's letter revealed to the Restorationists that Marley was preparing an invasion in Paradis Island's Walls, by sending the Warriors to take down the remaining royal family and reclaim the Founding Titan for their own, in order to nullify the threat of the Rumbling posed by the Colossal Titans within the Walls and being able to seize all the rare resources on the island.

Comrade C remained composed, but expressed with Grice concern upon the realization that Marley would gain the Founding Titan for their own possession, which would bar any chance for Eldia's revival forever, as the Restorationists were all adults, thus not eligible for the new Warrior program to infiltrate the military. Grisha, however, reassured his comrades with a proposition of his own; to make his and Dina's royal-blooded son, Zeke, a Restorationist mole and enlist him into the military to become one of the Marleyan Warriors. The Restorationists accepted to entrust to Zeke the mission to steal the Founding Titan from the Walls and Marley.

However, in 832, Zeke betrayed his parents and turned them and the rest of the Restorationist movement in. Exposed by the government, the Restorationists were all arrested by the Marleyan Public Security Authorities for treason and terrorism. They were tortured for information about the Owl's identity, then sentenced to exile for life to be "sent to Heaven", meaning being deported and turned into Pure Titans on the penal colony Paradis Island.

At Marley's wharf on Paradis' borders, Comrade C was placed between Comrade B and another one, all of the convicts missing all their fingers from their interrogation and torture endured in Marley. Sergeant Major Gross, who was in charge of the unit tasked with the deportation, kicked down his comrade Grice so all the others would go after him once transformed, instead of hanging around the borderline. The Sergeant Major announced for his men to start injecting the convicts. The old man miserably shouted out loud as he was injected, and would quickly be kicked down of the wall, after rolling down the sand dune a bit, he transformed into the “Bearded Titan”. All the new Titans noticed Grice running in the distance and immediately started to rush after him, ignoring Grisha's pleads for them to come to their senses. It's unknown if it successfully devoured Grice, but the Titan nonetheless kept going towards north to the inner island afterwards.

At some point in or between 845 and 850, the Bearded Titan entered the territories of Wall Maria, which had fallen to hordes of Pure Titans from Marley during 845, after an attack from the south by the Marleyan military, specifically three Titan soldiers of the Warrior Unit.

Battle of Trost District Arc[]

Eighteen years since his transformation, the Bearded Titan is part of the hordes of Pure Titans who invade Wall Rose in 850, following a second attack of the Walls by the Colossal Titan from the south at Trost District. Due to the bodies inside his stomach, he is presumably involved with the annihilation of the entire Garrison vanguard, who fail to hold the Titans off until the civilian evacuation at Trost is completed. By the time multiple squads of the 104th Training Corps are sent to fight on the lines, the Bearded Titan is roaming around the city's streets, hanging around with the Peering Titan, the Bigmouth Titan, and the Jumping Titan, them being three of his former Restorationist comrades who were injected along with him 18 years ago.

The Titans notice a squad of Trainees consisting of Thomas Wagner, Eren Yeager, Nac Tias, Mina Carolina, Armin Arlert, and Mylius Zeramuski. After the Abnormal Jumping Titan intercepts and swallows Thomas, the four former Restorationists Titans begin to attack the rest of the squad as soon as they spot them going for a retaliating assault. As his three former comrades are doing the massacre, the Bearded Titan appears in front of a fear-stricken Armin, who is unable to move and do anything, watching in horror his friends getting eaten. The Bearded Titan grabs Armin and lets him fall into his mouth, whilst Armin regains some sense and begins struggling for his life.

Suddenly, Eren, who is missing a leg, appears and grabs Armin's arm, timely pulling him out of the Titan's mouth. However, Eren ends up trapped between the giant's teeth himself, struggling with his only blade left to keep the mouth open. As Armin tries to rescue Eren, the Bearded Titan closes its mouth, biting one of Eren's arms off in the process, and swallows Eren, much to Armin's hysterical horror. It is unknown how Armin survived the Bearded Titan and the others afterwards, but he was no longer attacked after the deaths of his friends.

Still alive, Eren finds himself inside the Titan's stomach, surrounded by corpses of unfortunate soldiers, including one dying woman meekly calling for her mother before finally drowning inside the stomach acid. A desperate Eren reaches up with his mutilated arm, desperately and furiously wanting to reclaim his freedom, and suddenly transforms into the Attack Titan for the first time in his life, tearing through the Bearded Titan in the process. Eren's Titan then crushes the Bearded Titan's nape with his foot to prevent it from regenerating, killing it.

Trivia[]

Bearded Titan

Old TV version of the Bearded Titan, prior the revised Blu-ray change.

  • This Titan was very close to regain his human form, since Eren was inside his stomach. Had Eren died inside the Titan, some moment later the Titan would quickly revert to the old man in front of Armin eyes. This would've made the man the new Attack Titan and might have enlightened the Survey Corps about the truth of the world much sooner than the the Return to Shiganshina arc, depending on how he felt about the Eldians of Paradis, as many Eldians of Marley resent those of the island for abandoning them, regardless if they consider them devils or not.
