Kenny's grandpa (Anime)

Kenny's grandfather (ケニーの祖父) was the grandfather of Kenny and Kuchel Ackermann. He was one of the few living remnants of the Ackermann bloodline with knowledge about the reasons for the persecution of his clan.

Appearance
He was a sickly and frail old man, with limp, gray, neck length hair. He had weary eyes, a pointed nose, and a mustache that formed into a beard. Due to his health, he wore loose fitting clothes and appeared unable to leave his bed.

Personality
He was shown to be a rather stern and emotionless individual in his later years.

The Uprising arc
On his deathbed, Kenny Ackermann visited him for what would likely be the last time. Baffled at the state the Ackermann family was in, he questioned his grandfather about how things came to be that way. In an attempt to sweet talk him Kenny went on to say, "I'm your cute little grandson." Gasping, he sat up and asked if the cute little grandson he knew was known in the capital as "Kenny the Ripper." Seeing the state that the Ackermann family was in, he began telling Kenny what he knew.

He started off by clarifying that the royal government did not hate the Ackermanns, but feared them instead due to the King's inability to control them. When Kenny became confused, grandfather Ackermann flatly stated that was the power of the Titans. Maintained by the monarchy, the Titan's power had been passed down from generation to generation.

However, some bloodlines were immune to the Royal Family's power, so in order for the King's ideals to be perceived, the minority bloodlines needed to be silenced in some way. Only two of the bloodlines opposed the King; they gave up their positions and turned their backs on the monarchy.

Kenny then reveals to him that he found his sister, Kuchel Ackerman, and that she was impregnated by a customer. However, grandfather Ackermann simply does not respond to the news.

Relationships

 * Kenny Ackermann - Kenny was his grandson and their relationship was complicated. Although he seemed to love Kenny, he seemed displeased with Kenny's killings of the Military Police. However, he also trusted Kenny as far as to revealing him the secrets of the persecution of the Ackermanns.
 * Kuchel Ackermann - As his granddaughter, it is supposed that he loved her and worried about her. During his last meet with Kenny, the boy told him of Kuchel's situation, being afraid of that could hurt him. However, the latter did not have any reaction after hearing the news.
