The **Fritz family** was the original royal family of Eldia that used the power of the Founding Titan to rule over their lands. After the Great Titan War, the family split in two, with some staying on the mainland continent that was conquered by Marley, and the others entering the Walls that Karl Fritz had built. The branch that went inside the Walls disguised themselves as a minor noble family known as the Reiss Family.

By 824, Dina Fritz was the last descendant of the royal family still living on the mainland. Dina then joined a rebellious organization but was caught and turned into a Pure Titan. Although the royal bloodline lives on in Dina's son and the Reiss family, the Fritz name is effectively extinct.

## History

Over 1800 years ago, Ymir Fritz gained the power of the Titans. How though remains unclear, although some say that she made a deal with the Devil of All Earth, or she was a gift from God, or she touched the "source of all living matter." With her power, she made great advancements for her people. When she died her "soul" was split between the Nine Titans, who built the empire of Eldia. Her greatest power, the Founding Titan, would be inherited by the monarchs of the Fritz family for many centuries to come.

The Fritz family came to power as the royal bloodline of Eldia. Over these next two millennia, their lineage would be destined to remain unbroken. At some point during their rule, the Ackerman family became the guarding force of their monarchy, serving as the protectors of the monarchs.

After some time, the various elite families subservient to the Fritz family began to fight among themselves, though throughout the years the Fritz family maintained order with the power of the Founding Titan. However, when the 145th King of the Fritz family came into power and received the Founding Titan, he chose to abandon the never-ending conflict in the Eldian Empire and conspired with the Tybur family to end the conflict by letting the empire fall and restore Marley, a country that the Eldians have previously conquered and destroyed.

As both sides worked to dismantle the Eldian Empire that was in control, they fabricated the story of a great warrior Helos who came and was the one who had actually defeated the Eldians. The King then decided to instead move the capital of Eldia to Paradis Island off the east coast of the continental mainland. In his absence, the Marleyan minorities in Eldia took control of the Great Titan War, while capturing seven of the nine Titans and overrunning the continent.

As Eldia lost more and more of its land, King Fritz gathered as many members of the Fritz family as he could to Paradis Island, along with the fleeing peoples of Eldia. However, some members of the Fritz family strongly disagreed with the King's decision to abandon the Eldian-Marleyan conflict and stayed behind on the continental mainland.

Once the Eldians willing to flee were gathered at Paradis Island, the King used the power of the Founding Titan to erect three concentric Walls around their territory on Paradis Island and erased the memory of the world from the Eldian people. From that point onward, the Fritz family in the Walls would be replaced in name by a false line of monarchs, while the true royal family would take the new name of the Reiss family.

Meanwhile, on the mainland, the Fritz family would live in hiding within the internment zones founded by the new Marleyan government, awaiting the day that Eldia would rise again. At some point, the remnants of the Fritz family that stayed on the continent tried to form a revolutionary army. However, the army accomplished nothing and its members were executed.

By 824, Dina Fritz was the last living descendant of the Fritz family within Marley. She would be sent by the Owl, an Eldian spy within the Marleyan military, to join the cause of the Eldia Restorationists. There she met Grisha Jaeger, who had gained significant influence in the Restorationist movement, and together they made plans to retrieve the Founding Titan from Paradis Island and restore the nation of Eldia. They married the following year and had a son named Zeke, who they insisted would be the King of Eldia.

However, Zeke ended up turning against the Restorationists at the age of seven after Grisha sent him to join the Marleyans' Warrior program, hoping that he would be a double agent. Dina would then be turned into a pure Titan, pledging in her last moments that she would find Grisha no matter what became of her. Zeke would remain in the Warrior program, rising through the ranks to become the captain of the Warriors.
