Abilities
He was a master craftsman, and credited with creating multiple inventions that are still in use.

Inventions

 * "The Device" - A device allowing humans to make up the difference in height between a human and Titan, so that they can reach their weak point.
 * Cannons - Heavy, strong weapons meant to sit upon the Walls to keep Titans at bay from inside.
 * Iron Bamboo Net - A strong net made from Iron Bamboo, meant to allow humans to capture Titans.

Relationships

 * Corina - She was Angel's young assistant. When the Titan Mammon devoured her, Angel took it very hard. Her death fueled his attempts to find the Titans' weakness.
 * Maria Carlstead - The two have been close friends since they were children. As they've gotten older, Maria has taken on more of a motherly role. Often fixing his hair, badgering him about cleanliness, and generally caring about his well being.

Trivia

 * His surname is Finnish, in which the word "aalto" means "a wave".
 * Angel also invented the Cannons atop Wall Maria. It is unknown if he made the other cannons atop the other Walls.
 * Angel is the second person to successfully kill a Titan, the first being Sorum Humé.
 * However, while Sorum's kill was achieved mainly through luck, Angel was the first person to successfully locate and exploit a Titan's weak point.
