Fritz

"My daughters. Give birth and multiply. The blood of Ymir must not die out. If you die, my daughters, have my grandchildren eat your spines. If my grandchildren die, their spines will be passed from child to child. To all of my progeny. My Eldians will rule the lands of this land with the massive frames. And my Titans will continue their reign. Into eternity, so long as this world of mine remains."

- Fritz's dying wish

Fritz (フリッツ) was the king of Eldia around 2,000 years ago. When one of his slaves, Ymir, gained the power of the Titans, he used her to expand Eldia into an empire and destroy his enemies. As a "reward," he gave Ymir his name and seed, and had three daughters with her.

Upon Ymir's death, Fritz forced his daughters to eat their mother's body to preserve her power. Upon his own death, he commanded his daughters to continue reproducing, so that Ymir's people will never die out and Eldia could rule the world with its Titans forever.

Appearance
Fritz was a bearded old man. When Eldia was a small tribe, Fritz was shirtless and wore an animal pelt around his hip. As Ymir began amassing wealth for him, his attire gradually became more and more luxurious. He wore a horned helmet for a period, before transitioning to a crown decorated with five nine-pointed stars.
