The Eleven Titans

The **Ten Titans** (九つの巨人 *Kokonotsu no Kyojin*?) were Ten Titan powers that had been passed down through the Eldian people for nearly 2,000 years after the death of Ymir Fritz with each having their own name. The Ten Titan powers were the Founding Titan, the Flare Titan, the Armored Titan, the Attack Titan, the Beast Titan, the Cart Titan, the Colossus Titan, the Female Titan, the Jaw Titan and the War Hammer Titan. In 852, Marley successfully created the **Eleventh Titan**, the **Artificial Titan** by combining Jaw Titan spinal fluid with Zeke's royal-blooded Beast Titan spinal fluid. And it's indirectly revealed that by combining the fluid of two titans descended from a specific one of Ymir's daughters with royal blood a new titan can be created (I.E the Beast, Cart, and Jaw Titans being descended from Sina Fritz children can have their spinal fluid combined with royal blood to form a new titan).

## History

Around 2,000 years ago, Ymir Fritz obtained the power of the Titans and became the first Titan, which later came to be known as the Founding Titan. Thirteen years later, she died and her power was then divided between her three daughters who had been forced by their father to consume her remains. Eventually, the powers would split further into the individual Nine Titans, which were subsequently inherited by nine of her descendants, with the Flare Titan being passed down through the Hizurian Hajime family, serving as both the Tenth House of Eldia as well as a *Bunke* of the Azumabito Family. The Nine Titans soon destroyed the ancient nation of Marley and conquered the entire continent to build the Eldian Empire. As family relations play a significant role in passing and inheriting memories from the previous inheritors of the Titans, the Nine Titans normally resided within noble families during Eldia's reign. Examples include the Fritz family with the Founding Titan and Tybur family with the War Hammer Titan.

The noble families who held the Nine Titans, other than the Fritz family, were in a constant state of conflict with each other, but the Founding Titan had maintained the peace. When the 145th King, Karl Fritz, inherited the Founding Titan, he held great shame for the actions of his people and carried sympathy for Marley. He conspired with the Tybur family as atonement for the actions of their ancestors and fabricated the story of Helos, a Marleyan hero who defeated King Fritz. They succeeded in inciting a civil war, the Great Titan War, with the help of the people of Marley and while Eldia collapsed from the inside, Marley seized control over seven of the Nine Titans, with only the Founding and Attack Titans escaping their grasp. They distributed the Titans they had (with the exception of the War Hammer Titan) among Eldians loyal to them known as Warriors. Karl Fritz then moved many Eldians onto Paradis Island and built the Walls by creating thousands of Colossus Titans, which hardened to form three concentric walls. The king then erased the memories of the Eldians on the island, except for a few minority races which were immune to the power of the Founding Titan.

The Tybur family was allowed to keep their Titan because they were the first to fight for Marley, leaving them and the Reiss family (the renamed Fritz family) the only remaining Eldian houses left with their Titan after the war. The Reiss family later lost their Titan to Grisha Yeager in the year 845. After Grisha's Attack Titan ate Frieda Reiss's Founding Titan, the two Titans mixed into one; this resulted in the number of Titans being reduced to Nine. However, following the Second Battle of Shiganshima in 854, the two Titans were split once again, with Eren Yaeger retaining the Attack Titan, while Historia Reiss recieved the Founding Titan, now released from Karl Fritz's vow of peace.
