Calvi

Calvi (カルヴィ) is a Marleyan marshal and the overall commander of the nation's army and navy. Before Theo Magath started interacting with Willy Tybur, the Warrior Commander answered directly to him.

Appearance
Calvi is a lean man in his late middle age. Being an officer holding high office, he is always seemed well groomed and wearing a unique set of dress uniforms, which features a sash running diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist, on top of the standard Marleyan tunic and shirt. He also wears four medals on his left chest, presumably indicating his position in the military hierarchy or past battle honors.

Personality
As an important leader of Marley's military force, Calvi is an authoritative figure to his subordinate officers, being able to demand answers from even Magath, who heads the all-powerful Warrior unit. Being an ethnic Marleyan, he is proud of his country's glorious history against the Eldian, but he was also distressed by Marley's weakening status in the modern age. Finally, he shares his subordinates' contempt of Eldians, although it was expressed subtly. For example, when he approved Zeke Yeager's proposal to seize the Founding Titan again, he sarcastically remarked that his loyalty was not doubted because he sold out his parents.

Calvi places high hopes on the war fighting ability of the children-formed Warrior unit, which impressed him by their ability to defeat a country almost single-handedly. However, it also made him incapable of thinking other alternatives to Titans in military planning. When it became clear that Titans are losing to the advancing military technology at the conclusion of the Marley Mid-East War, he became pessimistic of his country's future.

Marley arc
Chronically, Calvi made his first appearance in the battlefield where Marley waged war against an unnamed country. The war was largely a demonstration of a new generation of Warriors who were trained from childhood, with the marshal and Magath observed it on a truck from behind the line. When Magath expressed doubts on the wisdom of relying the entire war on children, Calvi, already amused at the battle outcome, dismissively asked him that did he not see the children destroyed an entire country.

At the conclusion of the Marley Mid-East War, he presided over a meeting attended by Zeke, Colt, Magath and other high-ranking officers. Upon reading several newspapers, he became frustrated at how the world opinions favored the losing Mid-East Allied Forces, which dimmed the victory. He sought opinions from Magath, who explained that Marley made a mistake for relying too much on the Titan while neglecting in developing conventional weapons. As the result, the military technology of Marley is now being left behind from the rest of the world. The marshal reluctantly agreed, lamenting how his great nation, which had defeated the Eldian devils in the past, reduced to such dismal state. His pessimism reached to the point that he wondered whether they can make Titan to have wings.

Zeke, upon obtaining his permission to speak, proposed that another attempt should be made to seize the Founding Titan from the Eldian on Paradis Island. Calvi asked him was it because he wants to get revenge for his failure four years ago. When Zeke replied affirmatively, he seconded his advice by promising that it would be forwarded to the upper hierarchy.

Calvi attended the Tybur-held festival in the Liberio internment zone along with a number of high-ranking military officers. He briefly discussed with a subordinate about the security of the event, which he left Magath to be in charge of. When Willy revealed the truth about the ancient king Karl Fritz, Calvi is seen contemplating in the midst of hotly arguing officers.
