Ymir Fritz, the first changeling titan
According to Eldia mythology, a young Eldian named Ymir fritz found the source of all organic life. Some say that he made a pact with the devil to get that power, while other Eldians believe that God granted him the power of the Founding Titan. Ymir only wanted peace for his people and used power to restore prosperity to them: he built roads, bridges and cultivated the fields. Seeing Ymir’s engagement, the king rewarded her by allowing her to sire offspring alongside him. He had three girls named Rose, Maria and Sina. When Ymir died, his soul split into nine titans, but the power of the Founding Titan could only be inherited by direct members of the Fritz family.
The other clans had their own conflicts until at the time of the king karl fritz, the Great War of the Titans broke out. Fritz stayed out of the conflicts, leaving Eldia to her fate and moved the capital to the island of Paradis. So Eldia lost all her territory and Marley took the titans from the other clans. Fritz locked up its inhabitants on the island and raised three great walls: Maria, Rose and Sina. As Founding Titan, Karl Fritz had the power to erase the memories of the eldians to remove your knowledge about the outside world.
The Power of the Founding Titan
For this reason, Eren and the other protagonists believe that the Titans have destroyed all humanity, being they the sole survivors. Why did Karl Fritz remain neutral in the conflicts that ended with Eldia? By acquiring this power they also inherit their memories, the will of do not eliminate the titans and the curse of Ymir, by which they can only live 13 years. Karl made a pact of non-resistance that would be inherited by the following carriers with the intention that peace would last in his town.
It should be noted that the Founding Titan has the ability to create pure titans and control all your actions. But he is not the only one, since the Beast Titan can turn people into titans by introducing his cerebrospinal fluid. Therefore, there are several ways to keep creating titans, although Eren Jaeger who is the current Founding Titan does not use this ability. The only way to obtain one of these powers is devouring its bearer. Little by little, Eren is adding various powers like the Attack Titan and the Warhammer Titan.
Many years later, the Fritz family changed to Reiss surname, but kept the power of the Founding Titan. Marley had seven Titans all this time until he decided to infiltrate several soldiers in the Shiganshina district to get the Founding Titan that was being held by Eren Jaeger without being conscious. Attack on Titan recounts everything that happened since the Colossal Titan attacked the Maria wall, Eren’s determination to enter the Exploration Corps and his firm intention to destroy all the titans.
