Apparence

Bertolt was a thin, rather tall young man. He was one of the biggest characters in the series. He had short black hair, eyes of the same color, thin eyebrows and a long face. In the anime, his eyes are green and he has a slightly darker complexion. He was mainly seen in the standard uniform of the Exploration Battalion. After meeting Sieg Jäger, his hair appeared shorter.

Titanic shape
As a Colossal Titan, he was 60 meters high. All the muscles and cartilages of his titan were visible.

Personality

Bertolt was a quiet young man, presenting himself as a weak-willed person who generally followed popular opinion. Similarly, their instructor had noted that he was a person with great potential, but a complete lack of initiative. He was further described by Eren as taciturn, and tended to stay in the background unless necessary. By his own admission, there was something cowardly about him and he was known for his low self-esteem. He had the unwilling appearance of a trustworthy person, even though he had no initiative. To finish we could add that the quote "one must beware of appearances" suited him perfectly...

Bertolt's secret

Bertolt was in fact the Colossal Titan, so he was the one who caused the fall of Shiganshina, so he was the worst enemy of humanity. His withdrawn behavior initially gives the impression of him as the least emotionally compromised of the three Titan agents. He showed, at first, little attachment or remorse for his actions, seeming to care only about his partner, Reiner. However, when confronted by his former comrades and questioned about their friendship, he revealed himself to be far more conflicted and guilt-ridden than he initially appeared.

Personal history

During Operation Paradise Island, Bertolt held the place of origin mysteriously, keeping the name unknown. Indeed, he never mentioned the name of this place, he only referred to it as "his home village". In the year 845, he began a mission to attack humanity. In contrast to his companions Annie Leonhart and Reiner Braun, little is revealed about his life before undertaking this mission. We only know that Reiner Braun, Marcel Galliard and Annie Leonhart were his childhood friends as an Aspirant Warrior. We also know that his mother died shortly before the Battle of Revelio. However, nothing is said about his relationship with his son. It is possible that unlike his companions who were psychologically abused by parents who wanted to become honored citizens, Bertolt did so to pay for care for his long-suffering mother. Bertolt's lucidity in the face of the situation, from the start, would point in this direction. This could also explain the harshness of which he is capable, as during the Battle of Shiganshina, when he revealed to his former companions that his goal was to exterminate humanity within the city before attempting to immolate them. However, extermination was not the real goal of his mission, he and his companions thought that Eren Jäger or Historia Reiss possessed the Axis and wanted to get their hands on it for the sake of Mahr to work.

At some point, before attacking the Maria Wall, he encountered the titanic form of Ymir with his 3 companions, Reiner, Marcel and Annie. Still in a state of blindness, she attacked the group and almost killed Reiner. Marcel eventually sacrificed his life to protect his friends, while Bertolt and the others fled in terror.

Year 845

Bertolt appeared outside the Maria Wall in the form of the Colossal Titan. His transformation had attracted the attention of all the civilians in the district. A few moments later, while everyone was still trembling with fear, it was a simple knock on the door that turned the tables on the humans, allowing the Titans to enter the surrounding neighborhoods. In addition, debris crushed the civilians.

Year 850

In the year 850, the 104th Brigade traveled to the Trost District to train before Dot Pixis, the Garrison Commander-in-Chief. After training, Eren Jäger, Sasha Braus, Conny Springer, Mihna Carolina, Thomas Wagner and Samuel Link-Jackson climbed the Pink Wall. Bertolt positioned himself at the bottom of the Wall and transformed himself into a Colossal Titan for a second time. He breached the Wall, destroyed the Cannons and fought Eren Jäger.

During their fight, Eren had the advantage because the Colossal Titan was extremely slow. Just as he was about to slice his neck off, the Titan vanished and disappeared just like the first time.


Later, Bertolt was seen again with other soldiers watching the attacks of the mysterious Titan Assassin and he was amazed to see Eren coming out of his neck. He was seen again shortly afterwards when Kitz Wehrman, one of the captains of the Garrison, captured Eren. He climbed onto a roof accompanied by Annie Leonhart, Reiner Braun and Jean Kirschtein. After Eren's transformation into an Incomplete Titan, he was as shocked and amazed as Annie, Reiner and Jean. He will participate in the operation of reconquest of the District of Trost.

Skills and Competencies

Bertolt graduated at the 3rd rank of the top 10 among other members of the 104th Training Brigade. Due to his high level position, he is also likely to possess the other fighting and military skills.

Martial Arts
Having not yet demonstrated his martial arts abilities, we don't know anything yet, however, he must have mastered the basics given his rank of 3rd in the class.

Three Dimensional Maneuver
He was noticed as the most skilled in handling the Three Dimensional Maneuver device among his classmates.

Power of the Titans

Bertolt has the ability to transform into one of the nine Primal Titans, the Colossal Titan.

Regeneration
Like all Primordial Titans, Bertolt is able to regenerate, both in human and titanic form. Even after having his neck cut by Mikasa Ackerman, he regenerated.

Burning steam
In titanic form, Bertolt is capable of releasing extremely hot steam. Most of the time, he uses it to keep enemies away from him. The only drawback is that to release this steam, the Colossal Titan evaporates parts of his body (torso, arms....), which is not practical for long fights. The steam generated by the Titan is so hot that it makes Armin Arlelt's flesh and Three Dimensional Maneuvering device disappear when he attacks it head-on.

Huge size
The Colossal Titan has an immense size compared to other titans. It is 60 meters high and even exceeds the Walls. However, as a counterpart to this gigantic size, the titan is very slow, which is not practical in battles, especially against enemies using the Three Dimensional Maneuver.

Colossal strength
As its name suggests, the colossal titan possesses colossal strength. In his titanic form, Bertolt is capable of destroying a portion of the Wall with a single kick and destroying dozens of buildings with the impact of his transformation alone. Furthermore, the impact of his fall from the Pink Wall leveled everything for several meters, leaving a huge crater when he was not even in full form. Moreover, the titanic body remained intact.

Explosive Transformation
While all primordial Titans generate enormous amounts of heat and energy during their transformation, Bertolt does this at the highest level. He can control the energy produced during his transformation to create various effects. For example, when he attacked the Trost District, his transformation only caused a blast of wind that hit a few trainees above the wall. However, when taking over the Shiganshina District, Bertolt releases an amount of energy similar to a small nuclear device, creating a cloud of dust and rubble, and devastating part of the district while killing a large number of Exploration Battalion soldiers.

Instant Disappearance
As a Colossal Titan, Bertolt is able to make his titanic form disappear in seconds. Indeed, he disappeared in 10 seconds when Eren tried to slice his neck. It is not yet clear how he does this, but he must surely evaporate his titanic body.

Relations

Reiner Braun
Reiner is his childhood friend and partner in their mission against humanity. The two are rarely out, and Bertolt almost always follows Reiner's orders. However, he has shown to be considerably bothered by Reiner's growing attachments to others and by his mental problems. In spite of this, he has rarely opposed Reiner.

Annie Leonhart
Reiner suspects Bertolt has a crush on her, noting his tendency to always stare at her. In response, he blushes and offers a weak protest. When Armin claims that she was tortured by the military, he becomes enraged and declares that he will kill everyone.

Ymir
Bertolt is initially suspicious of her, warning Reiner that she killed their friend and is therefore extremely dangerous. His fear of her continues to be a major aspect of their fragile alliance, although he seems to have changed his opinion after she saved his life. Afterwards, he expresses his gratitude to her and is visibly upset by her willingness to risk her life to return home.

Eren Jäger
Although they are friends, the two were not particularly close in comparison to Eren and Reiner's friendship. Bertolt has great admiration for Eren's courage and the strength of his conviction to fight even after seeing the horror of a Titan attack. After revealing that he is the Colossal Titan, he will behave coldly with Eren while Reiner will become hostile towards him, calling him a "knave".

Armin Arlelt
The two characters have little interaction, although the Off-Site Guide shows that Bertolt considers Armin a close friend. But once Bertolt's true identity is revealed, Bertolt threatens to kill Armin when he claims Annie is being tortured, thinking he is lying.
