## Overview

The **Tybur family** (タイバー家 *Taibā-ke*?) is a house of Eldian nobles living in Marley as honorary Marleyans,[2] however, in truth they are the nation's highest authority.[3] Even though they are Eldian, they are highly respected throughout the world for being the first Eldian family to fight against their own rule during the Great Titan War;[2] they gave Marley freedom and power as an act of atonement for their ancestors' crimes against the Marleyans. This was all before the family betrayed Marley and sided with Pardis Island, and Equestria[3] Willy Tybur was the head of the family.[4]

They kept the War Hammer Titan for generations, but only a select few knew of the previous inheritor's identity.

## History

Before the Great Titan War, the Tybur family was presumably one of the several Eldian houses warring for control over the Nine Titans. By the time war had broken out between Eldia and the remnants of Marley, the Tybur family had possession of the War Hammer Titan. Opposed to King Karl Fritz, the Tybur family was the first of the Eldian houses to side with Marley in the war.[2] However, in truth, they collaborated with King Fritz to end the Eldian Empire due to the king's guilt over the atrocities caused by the Eldians toward the rest of humanity. With their aid, Marley gained the upper hand in the Great Titan War, acquiring the support of their Titan as well as that of the Colossus, Armor, Female, Beast, Jaws, and Cart Titans. During this time, the Tybur family and King Fritz created a fictional hero, Helos to give Marley something to be proud of after their victory over the Eldian.

In the aftermath of Marley's victory in the war, the Tybur family was praised for their support in the early fighting, and for their service, they were granted positions of high nobility as honorary Marleyans, permitted to live on luxurious estates whereas the remaining Eldian population was segregated into internment zones.[6][7] The Tybur family would keep their high status in society for the next century, swearing loyalty to Marley. However, despite their pledge, the Tybur family would not use their War Hammer Titan in conflicts with enemy nations during this century.[8]

It is later revealed that the family has done more than simply enjoy themselves for the last century and have been interacting with the upper-class men and women from around the world to improve the social standing of the Subjects of Ymir.[9] This is presumably the reason why Eldians living in Marley face less hostilities than those living in internment camps of other countries.[10] However, Willy does admit the previous Tyburs were less vigilant about these duties in comparison to the current generation.[9]

For the Paradis Island Operation, the Warriors received intel from the Tybur family that the King of the Walls was bound to a "vow" to renounce war.[11]

At some point, Willy Tybur became head of the family, and at another, his sister inherited the power of the War Hammer Titan.
