Porco Galliard (Anime)

Porco Galliard (ポルコ・ガリアード) is a Marleyan Warrior with the ability to turn into a Titan. He is the current inheritor of the Jaw Titan.

Human form
Galliard is a young man of average height. He has hazel eyes, and his blond hair is kept in an undercut style which is pushed back. He wears combat trousers and a short coat. He also wears the Eldian armband on his left arm, as required of all Eldians under the authority of Marley.

Jaw Titan form
Galliard's Titan, the Jaw Titan, possesses deep-set eyes with a heavy brow and long blond hair. While his chin sports a long beard, the rest of his face is hairless with a cog-like arrangement of hardened skin in place of lips. His Titan also sports an armored face, fingers, and knuckles. His body is muscular and well-toned, and he usually employs all four limbs when moving.

Personality
Galliard appears to be a brave figure, using his Titan to leap in the way of bullets and protect his fellow Eldians Gabi and Falco, and Warriors. It is, however, quite possible that Galliard was not acting on bravery and was instead certain of his ability to withstand gunfire with the absence of the armored train, indicating that he has fought on battlefields before. As a dedicated soldier, he charges right into the heat of battle, attacking and crushing enemy soldiers for his people.

Return to Shiganshina arc
After Ymir surrenders herself to Marley to return the Jaw Titan power she stole from Marcel, Galliard is chosen to consume her and inherit the power.

Marley arc
Four years after the Warriors' return from Paradis, Galliard is present at the battle of Fort Slava. Under orders from the Warriors' Marleyan superior Commander Magath, he and Pieck are unauthorized to engage in combat with the Mid-East Allied Forces at the fort due to the presence of the highly dangerous Anti-Titan Artillery. However, once Gabi succeeds in destroying the armored train holding the artillery, Galliard joins the fight and shields her and Falco from machine gun fire before charging forward and decimating the enemies defenses.

After clearing their defenses Galliard continues pushing forward, killing several soldiers inside the trenches and using his powerful jaw to break the railways. After the Armored Titan is deployed inside the fortress, Galliard destroys several anti-Titan artillery platforms to protect him before retiring and leaving the remaining soldiers to the Armored Titan and the Beast Titan.

Power of the Titans
Galliard had the ability to transform into a 5 meter Titan known as the Jaw Titan (顎の巨人).


 * Jaw: Galliard's most prominent feature and the one that gave him his Titan's namesake, Galliard's mouth was specifically made to bite very durable materials. He had two sets of teeth: the first one is an exterior set of hardened teeth instead of lips. The second set is located inside the mouth, and it is a series of pointy teeth with hollow spaces between each individual tooth. This formidable weapon was efficient enough to bite railways off the ground with little effort and without harming his own mouth.


 * Speed: Galliard had shown an outstanding level of speed and agility, even for a Titan. He could cover great distances while jumping, both when he was on the offensive or escaping from incoming attacks. His speed made his surprise attacks difficult to predict, seen when he eliminated soldiers who were attacking Reiner before they could notice him.


 * Regeneration: Just like all others with the power of the Titans, Galliard had the ability to regenerate any injuries he may suffer. During the battle of Fort Slava, Galliard was shot several times in his Titan form. However, by the time Reiner arrived on the battlefield, the bullet injuries in his face and shoulder appeared healed.

People Killed

 * Ymir (as a Pure Titan)
 * At least 5 unnamed Mid-East Allied Forces soldiers

Trivia
