Wald

Lord Balto (バルト侯) is a rich 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 dying due to the Titan invasion.

Appearance
Lord Balto appears as an overweight man with a round face and an almost balding 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 biscuits 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 Titans in Trost, causing him to drop his wine glass, paralysed in fear. As Pixis grabs his wine bottle and prepares to leave, a worried Balto tries to stop him and requests him to stay put and protect his property, as he deems that his life and property were more precious than those who were dying on the front-lines. Pixis calmly refuses and leaves.
