A lot of new characters were introduced in the fourth season of Attack on Titan, as it took place in Marley rather than Paradis and some of the antagonists of the first three seasons, with the most notable being Reiner and Zeke, temporarily replaced the main characters. Outside of Marley's warriors, some of the new characters were members of the Tybur family.

Despite not being in the anime that much, the Tyburs are some of the most important characters and played a major role in the lore of the series. What should fans know about Willy, Lara, and the rest of the Tybur family?

10 They're Eldian With A Lot Of Power

Nine Titans

Attack on Titan, at its core, is about the war between Eldians and Marleyans, two races that have terrorized each other over the years. The Eldians are the people who can transform into titans and dominated the world for hundreds of years. However, during the Great Titan War, the Marleyans were able to fight back and became the most powerful nation in the world. Despite having so much power, the Tybur family is actually Eldian.

While most Eldians are treated terribly by the rest of the world, the Tyburs face nothing but love and respect. People all around the world, including the leaders of countries, are always happy to be in the presence of a Tybur and act completely different around them compared to the Eldians they hurt. The Tyburs never have to worry about being discriminated against the same way other families, such as the Yeagers, Brauns, and Grices have.

8 They Played An Important Role In The Great Titan War

Whether it be what actually happened during the Great Titan War or the story that many people believed for over 100 years, the Tybur family changed the world during this time period. The story that most people thought was true was that the Tyburs, along with Helos, forced Karl Fritz to go to Paradis and took seven of the Nine Titans away from the families who inherited them for generations.

In reality, the Tyburs secretly worked with Karl Fritz, who went to Paradis willingly, and created Helos knowing that it would give peace to the races their ancestors discriminated and tortured for centuries.

7 They Passed Down The War Hammer Titan For Generations

Before the Great Titan War, the inheritors of the Colossal, Armored, Female, Attack, Beast, Jaw, and Cart Titans passed down their abilities to the next generation of their bloodline. The Fritz and Tybur families had always done the same thing but continued to do so even after the Marleyans had seven of the Nine Titans under their control. The Tyburs kept the War Hammer Titan, which the rest of the world accepted.

6 Lara Inherited The War Hammer Titan

Lara was the last inheritor of the War Hammer Titan who was also a member of the Tybur family. She was one of the strongest titan shifters in the series, being able to fight against some of the most powerful Survey Corps soldiers, including Eren and Mikasa, without being defeated easily. Some of the powers that she used in her battle against them included her ability to create weapons and fight outside of her titan body, which she did by using the hardening power that most titan shifters have.

5 Lara Did Not Have A Name In The Manga

It may surprise those who didn't read the manga that Lara Tybur was a name that only appeared in the anime. Instead of using her real name, readers knew her as "Willy Tybur's sister."

Luckily, her name was revealed in the anime and she became a more memorable character rather than just being a strong titan the Survey Corps fought one time while being in her brother's shadow.

4 Willy Became The Most Famous Tybur

Despite being adored by the world, most of the Tyburs did not build strong relationships with other people. Willy Tybur was the only person, at least out of the Tyburs who were alive in the fourth season, who personally became friends with as many people as he could. Rather than looking at him solely as a celebrity, a lot were able to call Willy their friend.

3 Willy Has Five Children

Willy Tybur had five children, with one of them being significantly older than the other four. When Willy knew that Eren was planning an attack during the festival he prepared in Liberio, he hugged his four younger children who, not knowing what was going to happen to their father, wanted him to stay with them. He told his oldest daughter, Fine, to take care of them and walked away, never seeing his children again.

2 Willy Revealed The Truth Of The Great Titan War To Everyone

Willy Tybur Shares His Family History

Willy gathered people around the world to join him in Liberio so he could tell them the true role his ancestors played in the Great Titan War. They were shocked to find out that Helos never existed and that Karl Fritz wasn't the devil they made him out to be. Willy also told them about how Eren was planning to use the Rumbling to kill all of them and that he'd like to fight by their side, which resulted in applause.

At the end of Willy's speech, Eren transformed and ate him for everyone in Liberio to see. Moments after, Lara transformed into her War Hammer Titan and attacked Eren. She fought well against both Eren and Mikasa but was defeated. Upon discovering that Lara's body was not inside of the War Hammer Titan but a crystal connected to it instead, Eren used the Jaw Titan's teeth to break the crystal and devour Lara, stealing the War Hammer Titan that the Tyburs had for generations. It was a tragic day for the Tybur family, but the world would always remember what happened at that festival.
