I've only watched the Junior High anime, so I can only talk for it. But in the anime version, Bertolt and the Colossal Titan are separate characters, with no link between them. The Colossal Titan is the director of the Titan academy. In fact, in the anime version at least, none of the characters can turn into a Titans, the Titans by themselves are different characters.
