Niccolo

Nicolo (ニコロ) is a Marleyan soldier who was part of the first survey fleet after the failed Paradis Island Operation.

Appearance
Nicolo is a young Marleyan man of short stature and slim build. He has a petite pointed nose and is blond, with his hair falling to the sides, looking like he has an undercut. He wears the standard Marleyan military uniform.

While visiting the cemetery, Nicolo wears a black suit and tie.

Personality
Nicolo is a very typical Marleyan, fearing the Eldians of Paradis Island and calling them devils. He was very disgusted with having been captured by them and having to live by their side, but after spending a lot of time with the Survey Corps, he and his comrades have developed a grudging respect and shaky friendships with the ones they once thought of as devils. He may have developed a strong sentiment for Sasha after she praises him for his seafood cooking.

Marley arc
As a member of the first survey fleet's advanced party, Nicolo arrives at Paradis Island ahead of the main Marleyan vessel. Sometime after being captured, the Attack Titan seizes the main vessel. Hange Zoë and Levi Ackerman threaten Nicolo with a blade in an attempt to make the navy soldiers comply. Despite being in danger, he screams for his naval captain to shoot the islanders.

On one occasion later in the year, Nicolo cooks seafood for those working on the port. He is surprised by Sasha Blouse's impassioned reaction to the new style of food.

At a cemetery, Jean Kirstein and Connie Springer come to Nicolo's defense when a member of the Military Police attacks him for being a Marleyan. He explains that he is visiting the cemetery because he heard of Sasha's death. When Sasha's father and his family visit Sasha's grave, Nicolo introduces himself and offers to cook for them someday.

Trivia

 * It is said by Yelena that Nicolo is a master of Marleyan cuisine.
