Lord Tybur

Lord Tybur is a minor yet important posthumous character in the manga and anime series, Attack on Titan. He was a former member of the Tybur Family possessing the Warhammer Titan during the time of the Great Titan War. He was known to have secretly conspired with the King of Eldia, Karl Fritz, to dismantle Eldia from within and put an end to Eldia’s tyranny over the world. 
==Appearance==
While his true appearance is unknown, he was portrayed as being a tall man with short blond hair in Willy Tybur's stage production. He was seen wearing a long white garment and a light cape.
==Personality==
Much of Lord Tybur’s true personality is unknown, due to being a historic figure. But it can be assumed that he was a very rebellious and considerate individual for those who are more unfortunate than him. Especially towards the oppressed people of Marley, who he decided to save by staging a large scale rebellion against his own homeland of Eldia. 
==Story==
===Past===
Most of the history surrounding this “savior” is unknown. If he was maybe the head of his family or even a previous Warhammer Titan, still, he had enough governmental power for Karl Fritz to both approach and ask him to assist with igniting Eldia’s downfall. 
It is unknown what Tybur’s original thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints was of Eldia before he was approached by Karl Fritz, nor is it truly known how the interaction even took place. Nevertheless, he decided to go through with Karl Fritz’s plan and created a secret alliance with him. 
Tybur and Karl further initiated the already ongoing infighting, conflicts, and oppositions between the Empire's noble Titan houses. Tybur would presumably cause this by either committing direct attacks and or create false alliances with the Houses he would eventually backstab anyway. Karl Fritz would then deliberately neglect to use the Founder's power to control Tybur neither did he try to keep the rest of the Houses peaceful. At some point, Tybur and Karl shattered any lingering firmness within the Eldian Empire's regime with their indirect harmful influences over the other Houses, immersing them in fires of rivalry. Eventually, the ruling noble families holding eight of the Nine Titans ended up waging conflict with each other, to the point where the conflict resulted in a fully fletched war. A civil war which would later be known as the Great Titan War.
In order to make the oppressed citizens of Marley regain their nationalistic dignity. Lord Tybur and Karl Fritz fabricated the Marleyan hero Helos who worked together with Lord Tybur to ignite the Great Titan War, stage a rebellion with Helos as their leader, make a deal with Lord Tybur and use the Warhammer Titan to defeat the other 8, and to overthrow Karl Fritz, taking down the Eldian Empire. (Essentially taking over Karl Fritz’s role in the story.) 
Therefore, the descendants of Marley had a nationalistic hero to look up to who they believed caused Eldia to fall apart. Karl Fritz believed that due to his status as king of Eldia, he was underserving of being granted the title of “savior”, judging himself for his ancestry and blood. But he did not have issues with making Lord Tybur be bestowed with this title, as even in this fake story, he’s still a heroic figure that essentially saved the world from oppression. 
Eldia would successfully fall apart and Karl Fritz took part of his family and as many Eldians as he could with him to relocate on a remote island north of the continent, which was the last undisputed territory of Eldia under his full control. Now with the King gone and the other Titan Houses being subjugated. Lord Tybur was left in charge of both the Marleyan, and Eldian citizens. Having been fundamentally responsible for Marley’s rebirth. Lord Tybur was considered to be an incredible savior and would continue on the lie that Karl had been defeated by the Marleyans, specifically by Helos and the Tybur Savior, and that he had been forced to flee.
Afterwards, Lord Tybur would assumably continue helping the Marleyan people with rebuilding their former empire, however, this came at the cost of the Eldian people whose nation just got shattered. They were all rounded up and put into Eldian internment zones, being kept alive due to their ability of turning into Titans, which was now under Marley’s control. 
It is unknown what happened to Lord Tybur afterwards, but he and his family would continue to hold significant power within Marley. Being the only Eldians to live in luxury.
