Whether this revolution is good or bad for humanity is of no interest to me. I suppose that makes me quite the villain. But... you're no different, are you?
~ Darius Zackly reveals his true feelings.

Darius Zackly (Dhalis Zachary in the anime) is a supporting character in the anime/manga series Attack on Titan. He is the Premier of the Three Military Branches of the Walls of Paradis Island (Garrison, Military Police Brigade and Survey Corps).

He is voiced by Hideaki Tezuka in the Japanese Version and John Swasey in the English Dubbed Version, who also voiced All For One in My Hero Academia.

Overview[]

After leading a successful coup d'état against the Royal Government of the Walls in 850, he assumes full administrative control, and accepts Erwin Smith's plan to crown one of their own soldiers, Historia Reiss, as Queen of the Walls, using the pretext that she is the last surviving member of the overthrown royal family. By their own admission, the military simply named another monarch as a way to keep the populace united and prevent a full civil war with the common folk and the nobility, as they did not expect the people of the Walls to accept the military dictatorship at the time.

Following the reveal of a more advanced humanity outside the Walls, the majority of the public embraces military rule and become dissatisfied with the Zackly Administration and its lack of action and answers. The imprisonment of Eren Yeager following the Raid on Liberio in Marley is the final straw for the public, who start rioting whilst being kept in the dark about the alliance with Zeke Yeager and the detainment of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers. Zackly is eventually assassinated by insurgents of his own military, for accepting to pass Eren's Titan powers to another subordinate.

Biography[]

He's originally shown to be a strict military leader who's primary concern was what is best for humanity. Unlike Eren he's logical, calm, serious, controlled and has no time for drama and fighting. According to a noble official he's a bastard of slave's blood.

He always did his best to help the Survey Corps against the nobles and later he was chosen as the judge for Eren's trial.

Later Zackly arrives at the King's Court to settle matters, bringing news that the monarchy's misdeeds have been exposed and that he has seized control of the Central Brigade. Under his authority, Erwin is set free and all military branches officially no longer answering to the Monarchy.

He's officialy now the highest authority figure among humanity within the Walls, however, after Zackly assisted in the revolution against the monarchy he shows a completely different personality. He noted to Erwin that his only interest in participating was due to an intense and long-standing hatred of those in charge. He took great delight in seeing their fear when they fell from power. In direct contrast to the idea that he acts in the best interest of humanity, he told Erwin that he does not care if the revolution helps humanity or not. His only interest is his own desire to humiliate the monarchy, such that he set up a torture machine that made one of the ministers drink their own urine, and called it a beautiful work of art. Ultimately, he was willing to admit that he values his own life more than humanity. Zackly gleefully tortures and humiliates the arrested nobles and consider his own torture device the greatest work of art ever conceived.

Zackly reigns as Premier of Eldia on Paradis Island, until he is assassinated by the Yeagerists four years later.
