Lord Balto is a noble who was seen playing chess with Dot Pixis during the Invasion of Trost. He seems to care a lot about his wealth and property to an extent that he disregards the lives of civilians and soldiers who were losing their lives due to the attack of the Titans.

Appearance
Lord Balto appears as a very fat man with a round face and an almost bald head with blonde hair on the sides. He wears a noble and expensive attire.

Story
He first appears during the invasion of Trost, playing a chess match with Dot Pixis and drinking wine with him. He beats Pixis in the match and grabs a handful of sweets and bisuits from a plate and eats them up. He snickers at Pixis, wondering if he was capable of beating the Titans with the inferior strategical mindset that he possessed. A soldier interrupts them and informs them of the invasion of Trost, causing him to drop his wine glass in fear. As Pixis grabs his wine bottle and prepares to leave, a worried Balto tries to stop him and requests him to stay there and protect his property, as he deems that his life and property was more precious than those who were dying on the front-lines. Pixis calmly refuses and leaves.
