1) it is theorized that rod knew how to unlock memories and considering as how he knew the Titan serum he knew some stuff. Tdfern14 wrote:

1. that first question I don't know either but I guess it has something to do with blood relations, you know being the Reiss but that will explained better on the way.

So when two Reiss touch each other they get memory flashes ? But that hardly makes sense...It means Rod never, ever touched his brother Uri once he got Coordinated, otherwise he would have got the memories from the First King as well. You guys seem confident we'll get an explanation but I fear an incoming plothole here...It's not like Historia has talked about it to anyone after all

2) perhaps his plan was for Histoira to go into the corps so she could get close to eren and he could get both of them. He likely knew that Grisha would give the power to eren as eren was his only son. He killed her mother as she was nothing but a bother.

Come to think of it, how does he even know Grisha had a son in the first place actually ?

Granted, he needed two parts for his plan, Eren and Historia. He got one of them while the other was sent to his death...So why send her to her death too ? It's a plotshiel...err, a miracle that they both survived being Survey Corps considering the mortality rate. If I were him I would have kept her locked up until I catch Eren one way or another. Having Historia getting close to Eren didn't help much (quite the opposite eventually).

About Alma, well okay let's just assume he didn't like her that much in the end, and she's kind of a bitch too. That would explain why she's so mean to Historia, and how he could just watch her die without blinking. I'm even wondering why he wouldn't have done it sooner in these conditions Maybe he knows that if done in the right conditions he can give memories. Like how was he able to do the thing to unlock eren's repressed mem?

Plus there were probably records so all he'd have to do is run a background check on Grisha which would likely say that he has a son. Considering as how most of the time the Reiss family gives it based upon descendents..

Plus yeah maybe alma was mean. Maybe she was just good to Rod to gain his trust.

Plus it is likely that there were spies in the military that would've watched historia as the wall cult did monitor her.
