**Zeke Jaeger** is the War Chief of Marley's Warriors. He is the current holder of the Beast Titan, and is considered the strongest warrior. He is the son of Grisha Jaeger and Dina Fritz, and a member of the Fritz royal family through his mother.

## Overview

Zeke possesses the ability to transform into a Titan known as the Beast Titan. He was born and raised in Liberio by Grisha Jaeger and Dina Fritz. At a young age, Zeke was entered into the Warrior program to act as a spy for the Restorationists. However, at the urging of Tom Xaver, Zeke betrayed his parents to save himself and his grandparents.

## Physical Appearance

### Human form

In his human form, Zeke has a tall, broad, well-toned body with blue eyes, and shaggy blond hair.

### Beast Titan form

In his Titan form, Zeke is an extremely unusual specimen, having a distinct, ape-like appearance. Its body structure and facial features are like that of a human's, and it walks upright like one as well. It stands at a previously unseen 17 meters in height. Dark fur covers the large majority of its body while also forming a beard, with the exception of its face, hands, feet, and torso. It possesses pointed ears and sharp teeth, unlike most Titans. Its arms are also extremely elongated, with long fingers and fully functional thumbs and short (and somewhat stocky) legs. The proportions of its upper body are similar to those of the Colossal Titan, possessing a massive torso and small head, as well as disproportionately long and slim arms. His Titan's eyes possess a dark sclera and red irises.

## Personality

Zeke displays the traits of a leader, comfortable with giving orders and commanding his subordinates. If his orders are not followed, he does not hesitate to use brute force.

Zeke also seems to be quite ruthless, though not explicitly sadistic. However, in spite of Zeke's cold, militant and sarcastic personality, he is somewhat self-conscious of his emotions and savage tendencies: associating sentiments such passion and honor with his negative perception of his father, Zeke strives to differentiate himself by insisting upon cold logic and detachment to evaluate his experiences.

## Abilities

### Power of the Titans

Zeke is able to transform into a 17-meter Titan referred to as the **Beast Titan**. He retains his human mind when transformed, allowing him to do delicate tasks, and he even retains his ability to speak. Zeke's unique powers are due to his status as member of the Eldian royal family that stayed on the continental mainland, which was explained as unknown by members of the Titan Biology Research Society in Marley.

Some of his abilities are:

* **Communication**: Unlike most humans with Titan power, Zeke is able to fluently speak without issue in his Titan form, casually talking to humans and mindless Titans, and giving them orders which they can follow.
* **Titan Control**: Unlike most humans with Titan power, Zeke has the ability to control Pure Titans through vocal commands, often giving them orders which they follow. Titans under his control are even able to function using only moonlight without falling into fatigue. However, his control over the Titans is not absolute unlike the Founding Titan, as they can occasionally disobey, either by ignoring or not comprehending orders given. Zeke's control was eventually revealed to be limited to those Titans that were transformed with injections directly from his own spinal fluid and a result of him being descended from the Fritz royal bloodline.
* **Regeneration**: Just like all Titans and those with the power of the Titans, Zeke has the ability to regenerate at a tremendous speed any wound on his Titan or human body.
* **Enhanced Strength**: He possesses immense physical strength, throwing a bombardment of rocks with devastating destructive capability, as well as creating a visible sonic boom when he lobs them.
* **Precision**: The Beast Titan's throwing ability and incredible accuracy is second to none.
* **Human Transformation:** Because of his royal blood, Zeke possesses a scream that can transform Subjects of Ymir into Titans. These Titans, unlike the regular Titans encountered, were capable of functioning at night as long as the moon is out. In order for the human to turn into a Titan, all the human must do is to intake Zeke's spinal fluid and Zeke must use his scream at the targets, and after doing so, they turn into Titans. These Titans are connected to his Beast Titan via "paths" and obey his orders.
* **Hardening**: Zeke is able to harden his Titan body at will to protect himself from attacks. However, this ability needs some time to prepare.
* **Fighting Skills**: He seems to be a very formidable fighter.
