— Calvi laments the decline of his nation's power^[1]

Calvi (カルヴィ Karuvi^?) was the general (元帥 Gensui^?) of the Marleyan military forces.

Appearance[]

Calvi was a lean man in his late middle age. He was well groomed and wore a unique uniform which featured a sash running diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist, on top of the standard Marleyan tunic and shirt. He also wore four medals on his left chest, presumably indicating his position in the military hierarchy or past battle honors.

Personality[]

As the most important leader of the Marleyan military, Calvi was an authoritative figure to his subordinate officers, being able to demand answers from even Magath, commander of the Eldian unit of the Marleyan army. Being Marleyan by heritage, he was proud of his country's glorious history against the Eldian Empire, and was concerned with the upkeep of his nation's status and image.

Like most of his Marleyan compatriots, Calvi held the Eldian people in general in contempt as evidenced with him describing them as "devils", but was willing to hold in his contempt and even treat some with notable respect if they showed enough loyalty towards his country. This was the case with Warrior Unit's Warchief Zeke Jaeger, to whom Calvi held great admiration for his undoubted loyalty to the nation, telling him that he never doubted Zeke's loyalty to Marley ever since the day he told on his pare nts' secret plan of restoring Eldia.

Another notable trait in his personnality was his nonchalance. He was shown to be quite aloof with his duties, showing visible boredom during military meetings, and he kept his solemn behavior until the very moment of his death, being the only one in the crowd to calmly accept his end by Eren Jaeger's hands instead of trying to flee in panic like the rest of the Marleyan high-command.

Story[]

Marley arc[]

At the conclusion of the Marley Mid-East War, Calvi presides over a meeting attended with Zeke Jaeger, Commander Magath, and other high-ranking officers of the Marley military. Calvi notes that the near-loss of the Armored and Beast Titans during the battle have hurt Marley's image to the rest of the world, and agrees with Magath that the nation will soon lose its status as a superpower due to the decreasing effectiveness of Titans in battle. Zeke proposes, as a solution, that the nation return its focus to conquering Paradis Island and retaking the Founding Titan, which Calvi approves.^[1]

Calvi attends the Tybur family's festival in the Liberio internment zone along with a number of high-ranking military officers. He briefly discusses with a subordinate about the security of the event, which is handled by Magath. When Willy Tybur reveals the truth about the ancient King Karl Fritz, Calvi contemplates in the midst of hotly arguing officers. Willy's speech continues, culminating with a declaration of war against Paradis Island. At this time, the Attack Titan transforms, bursting through the stage and slaying Lord Tybur.^[2] It then turns to Marley's military leaders, and Calvi can only solemnly stare as the Titan lunges into the crowd, crushing the officers.^[3]

Trivia[]

Calvi bears a strong resemblance to the real-life Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen.
Calvi and Elliot G. Stratmann share the same Japanese voice actor.
