STORY Tom Xaver Aot

Xaver was Eldian, and he lived in Marley’s ghetto. He left the ghetto at an unknown time, took off his armband, and concealed his true origins. Also, he had a family outside of the ghetto. He married a woman and had a son. His wife discovered that her husband was an Eldian. She was so shocked and disgusted by the revelation, she committed suicide with their son. He found the bodies when Xaver returned to his home.

Xaver was driven by guilt and joined the Marley military’s Warrior program. As he only wanted to find a way to end his life, he accepted that Marley would give him 13 years of his remaining life. He was a scientist and had a strong interest in Titans. So he decided to inherit one Titan and to use the remaining 13 years of his life to learn as much about the Titans, including their history, origins, and past. He was chosen to inherit the Beast Titan in the year 829. Xaver, watching Commander Magath train the new generation of Warriors, noticed young Zeke Jaeger who seemed to not have any heart.

Xaver reached out to Zeke when he was about to be kicked out of the Warrior program for his lack of interest in the program and poor performance. Zeke was playing with a ball nearby headquarters. Xaver rolled a ball to Zeke and asked if Zeke would throw it back. Xaver recognized Zeke’s ball and asked if Zeke would play with him. He would be bored throwing the ball against a wall all day. Zeke accepted, recognizing Xaver’s bracelet that made him an honorary citizen. Zeke was then introduced to Xaver by Xaver, who explained that unlike Marley’s other Titans he had stayed behind in Marley because his Beast Titan wasn’t suited for this war. Xaver said that Zeke was quite good at throwing the ball.

Zeke and Xaver continued to play ball together in the weeks that followed. Xaver tried to cheer Zeke up when Zeke failed a public practice. To the depressed Zeke, Xaver kindly stated that it didn’t seem that Zeke really wanted Titanhood and that it was a stupid decision to reduce his life to only thirteen more years to serve Marley as a warmachine. Zeke asked Xaver why he had become a Titan. Xaver answered that he was a scientist who had had the opportunity to see the Titans in person. In addition, Xaver spoke about his interest and admiration for the Titans, claiming there was still so much to learn about them. Xaver said that he wanted to learn so much about 2,000 years back that he would be willing to sacrifice his life for it. He claimed that he was unsuited to the actual war because he could see that Zeke felt exactly the same way.

Xaver saw Zeke crying by the side of the road a few days later and asked him why. Zeke, who Xaver was now a substitute father for, told Xaver his parents were resistance members and were about to be turned over to Marley’s military. Xaver was aware of the seriousness and asked Zeke if he was certain the situation was as dangerous as he said. Zeke sadly told his parents that they would soon be living as Titans on Paradis. However, he thanked Xaver and promised that he would always remember their training as a Titan. Xaver was moved and touched by Zeke’s story and advised him to inform the military about his parents. Zeke claimed that this was Zeke’s only option and that he could save his life and those of his grandparents even if it meant sacrificing his parents. Zeke led the military to his parents Grisha and Dina. They were later arrested as resisters.

Zeke’s parents were taken by Paradis to be convicted of treason. Zeke was left with his grandparents. Xaver held Zeke, comforting him when Dina and Grisha were taken away.[2] He claimed that Zeke had done nothing wrong, and that Zeke was a good boy. Xaver continued to train Zeke over the years, until it became clear that Zeke’s thirteen years were over and that he had to pass on his Beast Titan. During one of their trainings, he casually told Zeke that he didn’t regret sacrificing his life for science. He also revealed that the Founding Titan could alter the physiology of all Eldians. This was something that the Founding Titan had used 600 years ago to make Eldians more resistant to deadly epidemics. Zeke heard this and wondered if the Founding Titan could also change the Eldians to stop them from having children. This would mean that their evil race could cease to exist and inflict no pain or suffering on the rest of the world.

Xaver didn’t catch the ball Zeke threw at them. Zeke was stunned when he froze, and he somberly shared with him how his family had committed suicide after learning that Xaver was an Eldian. He said that he thought about the world if he hadn’t been born. Xaver said that Zeke was almost a surrogate son. Zeke then stated that he would make it his goal to inherit the Beast Titan and conquer the Founding Titan, so that the world could be freed from Titan fear and the destruction of the Eldians. Xavier was open to the idea and moved to see that Zeke was also dedicated to a higher purpose, even if it meant sacrificing his future.

Zeke is chosen to succeed Xaver and eats his mentor over the next year. Also, Zeke inherits Xaver’s Beast Titan and is determined to carry out their shared plan. Zeke kept his glasses after Xaver died and wore them every day.
