* DisappearedDad: He went on a business trip just a few hours before the fall of Wall Maria.

* ParentExMachina: [[spoiler: The fact that he may have made Eren a Titan Shifter comes out of the blue, although it is justified by the fact that the injection apparently causes amnesia.]]
* PutOnABus - Disappeared to parts unknown after the fall of Wall Maria.
* SmallRoleBigImpact - He hasn't been seen or heard from since the beginning of the series, but he is heavily implied to know more about the Titans than what has been revealed.

* CorruptChurch: Eren notes that the Church of the Wall makes it difficult to get important reinforcements to the walls. [[spoiler: He's also aware of how the wall is filled with Colossal Titans.]]
* CrisisOfFaith: Is deeply shaken by the reality of people suffering due to the Titan attacks. Not enough to make him reveal what he knows [[spoiler:but enough to reveal that there is someone else with the authority to reveal the truth.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a callous {{Jerkass}} as a bureaucrat who refuses to divulge vital information to the Survey Corps, [[spoiler:may not actually share the beliefs he constantly preaches to people]], and vies for [[spoiler:Eren's execution despite the fact that his titan powers resulted in the first major victory for humankind in its entire history.]] Yet he's clearly shaken when he sees the suffering that the people who have to escape the titans go through, and [[PetTheDog he even attempts to help a child who's been separated from his family]].

The instructor for the 104th Trainee Corps. He is a harsh, but effective commander that seems to have known Eren's father in the past.

* BaldOfAwesome
* BeardOfEvil: A neatly-groomed goatee. He's not evil, but he ''is'' a man to be feared.
* DeathGlare: The setting his eyes seem to be perpetually stuck in, mixed in with...
** ThousandYardStare
* DrillSergeantNasty
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: The whole point of his DrillSergeantNasty routine, breaking down the recruits and pushing them as hard as possible to make them into capable soldiers.
* PetTheDog: He spares victims of Titan attacks from his DrillSergeantNasty routine. It's explained by another officer that the reason for this is because the point of said routine is to break recruits down so that they can be rebuilt into soldiers. As the Titan attacks they survived would've already broken them down, giving them the DrillSergeantNasty routine would've been pointless cruelty.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: At least, enough to consider that Eren's problem was faulty equipment, and not him simply being incompetent. His job requires him to be harsh and brutal, but he's also able to recognize the potential in each of the trainees.
