HISTORY Marco Bodt Aot

ARC OF THE 104TH TRAINING BROAD

In Aot, Marco was introduced to new recruits at the initiation. He was later intimidated by the instructor when he expressed his desire for the Special Brigades. Later, he tried to keep order as recruits asked Eren questions about the attack on the Maria Wall. He reprimanded others when their questions were too offensive or upsetting. He became close friends with Jean Kirschtein during his training period and was often seen with him. Jean seems to have felt that he was one of few to recognize her potential and encouraged her to become a better leader.

BATTLE FOR TROST Arc

• Main article: Battle of Trost Arc

After Trost was attacked by the Colossal Titan, Marco took command of Team 19, and was ordered to assist the vanguard forces. He was eventually among the stranded trainees after the order to retreat was issued, but he didn’t have enough gas to escape Trost.

Marco joined Jean and Mikasa when they rallied the other Titans to charge them. He was essential to Armin’s plan for recapturing the feeding chamber. The recruits were equipped with guns and acted as bait to lure the Titans into the chamber. Marco kept the group calm and maintained order until the Titans were shot and blinded.

Later, he was seen among the regrouped troops trying to keep order while people like DAZ were scared. Marco tried his best to console them and keep their spirits high, even though Trost ordered him to leave. He was a bait for the Titans to divert their attention from the main operation, Eren Jager.

Later, he was among the recruits who went into the city to face the Titans. He helped Jean rescue her device and joined the fight against the Titans. Eren sealed the Pink Wall.

After the invasion of Trost he was found dead. His body was discovered by Jean and his identity confirmed. His body, along with other casualties from the battle were later cremated on a common pyre for all those who died in that battle.

John was inspired by this to join the Exploration Battalion. He stated that he didn’t want to see a “disappointing ending” with someone with charred bone and not knowing why he died. Marco died unaccompanied and was not noticed for many days. Annie took his Three Dimensional Maneuvering Equipment and later discovered it. However, she did not specify how she “found it”. This suggests that her death could be linked to Annie Leonhart.
