Oluo Bozado

Oluo Bozado (オルオ・ボザド) was a hand-picked soldier from the Survey Corps by Levi to be included in the Special Operations Squad. He was a skilled soldier with a very high Titan kill record.

Appearance
Oluo had a much older appearance than his peers, having visible wrinkles despite being implied to be around the same age as his teammates. He sported a similar hairstyle as Levi and even fashioned a cravat, imitating his captain's signature look. Notably, Oluo's eyebrows were typically contorted in a condescending manner, similar to Levi. He had dirty-blond hair that was short around the side and back, small, hazel eyes, and dressed in the standard Survey Corps garbs.

Personality
Oluo was a very self-confident, outspoken individual, and enjoyed boasting about his own prowess. Despite his obnoxious demeanor, he was the best out of Levi's Special Operations Squad; his 39 solo kills (highest solo kills out of his peers, bested only by Levi) fueled his haughty nature. Oluo served as a kind of comic relief, as his cockiness was rarely taken seriously, and he was also shown to be somewhat clumsy, frequently biting his own tongue on accident.

He also casually attempted to imitate Levi, such as his rough speech and confident attitude, which causeed him to be at slight odds with Petra.

Battle of Trost District arc
Sometime after the fall of Wall Maria, Oluo enlisted in the Survey Corps. At some point before the Battle of Trost, Oluo was saved from a Titan by Levi.

The Female Titan arc
Levi hand-picks Oluo to form a Special Operations Squad alongside Petra, Eld, and Gunther. Their primary task is to safeguard Eren during missions and, if necessary, kill him if he loses control of his Titan powers. Oluo gives Eren a hard time, making it clear that he would not trust the newcomer easily.

During the Survey Corps' 57th Expedition, Oluo's duty is to protect Eren, and, along with the rest of the squad, is left in the dark of Commander Erwin's true objective, which is to capture the Female Titan. Eventually, Oluo and the rest of the squad come to blows with the Female Titan. Though they fight fiercely, Oluo's teammates are quickly killed, which leaves him to fight alone. Enraged by the deaths of his friends, Oluo fights as hard as he can, but he, too, is eventually overwhelmed and killed.

Abilities
He was a very skillful warrior who had an impressive Titan kill record of 48 kills: 39 solo kills and 9 team kills. Despite being very competent at slaying Titans alone, Oluo was fine-tuned to work in coordination with the rest of the Special Operations Squad, and together, they could launch coordinated strikes without so much as speaking.

Relationships

 * Eren Yeager- Oluo dismissed Eren as a newbie, and did not trust his ability to control his Titan powers. When Eren partially transformed on accident, Oluo was convinced he was up to no good and threatened to kill him on the spot. Later, realizing his rash reaction, Oluo hoped that Eren would forgive him, though he said so in his usual rude manner.


 * Levi Ackerman- Oluo was fiercely loyal to Levi after having had his life saved by him. He had subsequently attempted to mold himself into the image of the man he respects. Oluo also attempted to copy Levi's speech patterns, cool attitude, and even smaller details like his fashion sense and his ability to face Titans all alone. After Levi saved his life, Oluo declared that he would follow him anywhere.


 * Hange Zoë- For the most part, Oluo considered her loony and crazy. He initially dismissed Hange's desire to capture and experiment on Titans, seeing it as unreasonable, but eventually came to understand her point of view. Oluo apologized to Hange, stating his life was worthless compared to the importance of her research, though Hange demanded he never consider his life worthless.


 * Petra Ral- Petra was frequently annoyed by Oluo's rudeness and his obnoxious habit of mimicking Levi. Oluo dismissed her remarks, and thought she was an aspiring, naggy wife. Despite their bickering, the two had a long history of working and fighting alongside each other, leading to a powerful friendship and bond, and Oluo was devastated by her death.


 * Eld Jinn- Oluo trusted Eld both as a teammate and as a friend. However, Eld did not hold back on pushing Oluo's buttons, and revealed to Eren some of Oluo's less respectable moments.


 * Gunther Schultz- Gunther and Oluo worked well as a team, though Gunther occasionally scolded him and the others for their unfocused attitudes.

Trivia

 * Oluo has a tendency of biting his own tongue.
 * He is noted by Petra to actively imitate Levi, copying his unique speaking style, his haircut and even his cravat.
 * In a montage of Episode 22 of the anime, it is revealed that he is the eldest of six siblings, most of which appear to be under enlistment age.
 * According to Eld, Oluo cried and soiled himself on his first Survey Corps expedition.
