Main article: Eren Yeager

The main protagonist of the series who after witnessing his mother being devoured by a smiling Titan, dedicates the rest of his life to their eradication. After graduating fifth in his cadet class, he is swallowed by a bearded Titan during his first mission in Trost.[vol. 1] However, he soon reappears as a 15-meter (49 ft) Rogue Titan who fights other Titans on equal ground.[vol. 1][vol. 2] His ability as the "Rogue Titan" makes him the target of multiple parties that include those who see him as a tool to eradicate the Titans, other humans who can become Titans, and those who perceive Eren as a rebellion-inducing threat to the status quo.[vol. 2,3] Placed into the Survey Corps' Special Operations Squad, he attempts to control his Titan-changing ability and discovers he has other abilities as well. Author Hajime Isayama stated that Eren's Titan form's physique was modeled after middleweight mixed martial artist Yushin Okami.[2][3] Bryce Papenbrook portrayed Eren in the English adaptation of the anime, including the character's guttural screams and the "raw sound" and "disgusting and dirty" voice of Eren's Titan form.[4]

Eren's adopted sister, Mikasa is the last-known person of Oriental descent residing in the Walls.[ch. 6][ep 6] She is a quiet and withdrawn girl and maintains a stoic expression, except when Eren is in danger. When Mikasa's parents were killed by slave traders, she went into shock until Eren saves her and motivates her to fight back.[ch. 6][ep 6] As a result, she is very protective of Eren, and follows him wherever she can in joining the military and its related divisions and squads.[vol. 2,3] She graduates at the top of the cadet class,[ch. 2] and is regarded by officers as an unprecedented genius and prodigy, easily worth a hundred men in battle.[vol. 3] In the author's blog, Isayama notes that her name comes from the Mikasa, a battleship from the Imperial Japanese Navy.[7]

Armin is Eren's childhood friend who joins him in the Scouts. He has an inferiority complex, believing he barely passed the combat graduation exam (but was top of the class academically),[ch. 3] and whining that he hates being cowardly and having to rely on friends all the time.[ch. 11] Despite his self-perceived shortcomings, he vigorously defends Eren when the Military wanted to fire cannons at them, and is able to bring Eren out of his feral Titan state following the latter's second full transformation where he attacks Mikasa,[vol. 3] Armin also convinces Eren to let go of his inhibitions regarding Annie so that he could transform and fight her in his Titan state. In the military, he impresses the higher-ups by deducing the human identity of the Female Titan.[ep 24]

According to Reiner, he, along with Bertholt, Annie, and a third companion named Marcel was sent to infiltrate the Walls seeking "The Coordinate", targeting Eren as he exposes himself as a Titan Shifter. In a post on his blog, author Hajime Isayama stated that the Armored Titan's physique was based on that of professional wrestler and mixed martial artist Brock Lesnar.[9]

Annie slaughters her opposition, yet somehow spares Armin who realizes her true identity and outed her during the Raid of Stohess District storyline where they are inside Wall Sheena.[ep 19][ep 23] Following her defeat by Eren in a Titan vs. Titan fight, Annie uses her powers to envelop her body in a cocoon to prevent anyone from being able to interrogate her.

He seems to be acquainted with Eren's father Grisha Yeager. Before the fall of Wall Maria in the year 845, he had served as the Commander of the Survey Corps, which at the time was struggling in vain to find a secure spot to establish a base beyond the Walls. He had a full head of hair at the time.

Garrison Regiment

The Garrison Regiment (駐屯兵団 Chūton Heidan) are the soldiers that protect the towns and reinforce the Walls. They are the first line of defense against the Titans maintaining a defensive stance. They are by far the largest force in the military due to the small number of members in the Military Police Brigade and the high death rate of the Survey Corps. Before the fall of Wall Maria, the Garrison were lazy, undisciplined and at times unreliable, only slightly better than the Military Police Brigade. After the fall of Wall Maria, they've become innovative, tactical, diligent and more reliable. They and the Survey Corps are currently the most reliable military branches.

Despite her stoic nature, she appears to care greatly about her comrades, frequently reminding Eren that the people risking their lives for him have families and personalities, and that she doesn't wish for them to "die in vain." She becomes emotional when the mission is successful, as she is glad that her squad's dying efforts were not wasted.

Survey Corps

The Survey Corps (調査兵団 Chōsa Heidan, alt. "Scout Regiment"[17]) is composed of expeditionary soldiers that fight the Titans in their own territory outside of the Walls. Their main goal is to discover more about the origins and source of the Titans, their motives, and weaknesses; ultimately how to fight and defeat them.

Voiced by: Romi Park[18] (Japanese), Jessica Calvello[10] (English)
Hange is a scientist in the Survey Corps who studies the Titans.[ep 14] Hange shows little fear when interacting with them, and is thus ecstatic when initially meeting Eren. Hange had a strong hatred against Titans until the discovery of Ilse Langnar's notebook provided some new insight into how the Titans may be able to think. Hange also provides the special weapons they use, such as a barrel that fires multiple grappling hooks to capture Titans alive. After Erwin steps down, Hange becomes commander of the Survey Corps in his stead. On his blog, Isayama responded to a question regarding Hange's gender by responding "Perhaps [Hange's gender] is better left unstated" (性別は明言しない方がよさそうだ Seibetsu wa meigen-shinai kata ga yo-sa-sōda),.[20] In the anime, Hange is depicted as female, and in the manga there is an illustration of Hange in feminine clothing in the fifth tankōbon volume.[vol. 5]

Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (Japanese), Jason Douglas (English)
"Survey Corps squad leader. He has a peculiar habit of snorting and sniffing people when he meets them for the first time.[ep 14] Since he does this, it isn't surprising that his sense of smell is also incredibly sharp, being able to detect faint aromas as well as the scents of Titans making his ability useful for tracking. His strength is second to Levi among the Survey Corps squad leaders. When Wall Rosé is breached by the Titans he used himself as a decoy to distract the Titans and allow his fellow soldiers to escape by single handedly engaging nine Titans simultaneously in battle. Although being severely injured, he manages to defeat five of the Titans, before he is approached by the Beastly Titan, who strips him of his Vertical Maneuvering Equipment. Immobilized and at a disadvantage, he is then killed by the remaining Titans.

Despite his strict nature he cares very much for his underlings and team mates. He was shown to be deeply affected by the deaths of his Special Operations squad. The sidestory Attack on Titan: A Choice With No Regrets focuses on Levi's origins, revealing that he was part of a band of thieves using the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment to commit crimes before he is scouted by Erwin to join the army. Captain Ackerman later notes that the capture of Eren and Krista has to do with Levi, whom he refers to as "Levi Ackerman".

Military Police Brigade

The Military Police Brigade (憲兵団 Kenpeidan) is composed of elite soldiers assigned to protect the king and enforce law at the capital. Most trainees dream of joining the Military Police because it gives them a chance to live within the safety of the innermost wall, however, only the top ten of each training class is eligible to join; ironically this means that the most skilled soldiers are the ones least likely to ever encounter Titans. Unlike those in the Survey Corps and Garrison Regiment, most of the Brigade members lack actual fighting experience against Titans, and are thus surprised when the Female Titan had a rampage in Stohess District.

Nile Dok (ナイル・ドーク Nairu Dōku, alt. "Nile Dawk"[ep 14])
Voiced by: Anri Katsu (Japanese), Ian Sinclair[24] (English)
Commander of the Military Police Brigade. During Eren's tribunal, Nile wanted Eren to be handed to the Military Police Brigade and executed, believing his presence may cause a civil war but Supreme Commander Darius gave him to Commander Erwin and the Survey Corps. When the Female Titan suddenly appeared within Wall Sheena, Nile angrily demands an explanation from Erwin, suspecting he is planning a coup. Bur after learning about Erwin's plans, he decides to help by ordering the Military Police to assist the Survey Corps in capturing the Female Titan.[ep 25] In a later chapter, Nile complains about Erwin asking him to accompany him to the capital in Wall Sheena. The latter has his reasons and tries to encourage Nile to remember their training back in the Survey Corps. Erwin asks him about the Military Police's involvement in Pastor Nick's death. Nile denies any involvement with his branch, admitting he doesn't know what the central branch is up to these days. He is worried for both Erwin and his family being put in further danger as well as his position. Nile later begins to show awareness in both Erwin's plans and the Central MP branch's true motive.[ch 59] It appears that he has betrayed Erwin and turned him in to Fritz. However, it is later revealed he has actually been helping Erwin and the Survey Corps. He knows that Fritz is a mere puppet ruler in Rod's place. Nile warns Erwin along with the others they must tread carefully from now on.[ch 61]
Marlowe Freudenberg (マルロ・フロイデンベルク, Maruro Furoidenberuku) alt. "Marlo"
Voiced by: Tomokazu Sugita (Japanese), Todd Haberkorn (English)[ep 23]
Marlowe is introduced during the Raid of Stohess District storyline as a Military Police member who is given a bit of leadership responsibility. Although he is aware of the corruption in the organization and desires to reform it, he is unable to stand up against two corrupt superiors who are selling guns to black marketers. Annie respects his idealism since he reminds her of Eren, and encourages Marlowe to keep gathering his strength.[ep 23] In the anime series, his name is Marlo Sand (マルロ・サンド Maruro Sando).[ep 23] On patrol, he defends the Survey Corps, stating they had just caught a Titan which is something no one else in the other military factions has done. They are caught by Levi's squad and taken into the forests. Marlowe wants to help them out, but Levi refuses stating they can't be trusted. He and Hitch are left in Jean's custody. Deciding to test him, Jean gets into a brief fist fight with Marlowe. After a while, Jean decides he can be trusted and Marlowe's want for justice is similar to Eren's own.

Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English)[ep 23]
A member of Military Police who joined to benefit from the corruption within the organization. A sarcastic hedonist, she is rather lazy and tends to mock her colleagues. Hitch is jealous of Annie which Boris suspects given her attitude.[ep 23] Unlike Annie, who was able to join the Military Police due to being the top ten of her class, Hitch only got in the Military Police by having an improper relationship with a superior in order to gain a favorable position. Despite her attitude, Hitch also cares about her colleagues when she was able to convinced two corrupt superiors to let Marlowe go after the latter tried to stop them for selling guns to black marketers. After she and Marlowe are captured by Levi's group, Hitch learns where Annie really is and she is left in Jean's custody. When she saw Marlowe getting hurt, Hitch tried to intervene by attacking Jean. However, Marlowe stops her, stating that he was just testing him.[ep 23]
Boris Feulner (ボリス・フォイルナー Borisu Foirunā)
Voiced by: Yūichi Karasuma (Japanese), Micah Solusod (English)[ep 23]
One of the nicer members of Military Police who is kind to Annie. Boris respects her since Annie fought during the Battle of Trost, therefore she is the only member in the squad who has a combat experience and had an actual encounter with Titans. However, he doesn't like Hitch's misconduct towards Annie and quickly points out her flaws. While Boris is aware of the corruption within the Military Police, he chooses to accept that it's part of the system. When Marlowe declares his ambition to reform the system by rising through the top, he unenthusiastically wishes him good luck.[ep 23]
Djel Sanes (ジェル・サネス Jeru Sanesu)
A member from the Military Police Brigade. He is part of the first squad and comes from the interior Capital. Sanes was introduced when he informs the Survey Corp that a robber came into the room Pastor Nick is being held and murdered him. Hange suspects foul play and notices signs of torture on the Pastor's body, so she decides to interrogate the military guards. She concludes that Sanes along with his partner had tortured Nick. Sanes is later seen being led to the location of where Eren and Historia are being held by Dimo Reeves on a horse carriage. The horse slips and the carriage along with Sanes fall into the deep trench below them. It is shown that Hange and Levi caught him before he fell to his death, and brought his unconscious body to an unknown location. Sanes is last seen tied to a chair in a room with Hange and Levi, with a tray of surgical equipment in front of him. Under torture, Sanes finally confesses to why the Brigade has done what they did to protect the government. He knew they saw Pastor Nick's Wall Cult idealisms were too distracting and the technology created by welders, along with people knowing too much information and considered possible threats concerned them. Sanes claims they did what was necessary to keep order and those whom tried to escape were quickly dealt with. He taunts Hange and Levi that his comrades will avenge him. Later on when they return after he watches one of his comrades also be led off for tortune and they threaten him with more torture, Sanes finally confesses that the Reiss family are the true royal family that has been in power for the last 100 years.

But this only resulted with the Wall Cult interfering with Captain Ackerman killing Historia's mother before Rod convinces the soldier to have Historia join the survey corps under the alias of Krista Lenz. In reality, Rod's family are the true Royal Family of Wall Sheena who have long kept the power of the Coordinator before it was taken by Grisha who passed it to Eren. Seeing the Grisha's action to be the cause of unsettling the status quo, Rod sees Historia to be the only one to restore order.

After the fall of Wall Maria, she and Historia were to live with Rod for their own safety after he lost his family. However, the Wall Cult sent Kenny and his platoon to intercept them. Historia's mother, disavowing her own child, has her throat slit by Kenny before she wished Historia was never born in her dying breath.

After he is captured by the Survey Corps, Pastor Nick experiences first hand the suffering of the families forced to evacuate because of the suspected breach of Wall Rosé. While he refuses to reveal any secrets he knows of the Walls, Nick suggests that the Survey Corps talk to Historia about it since her birth family holds the knowledge they seek. Later on, Pastor Nick is found dead and Hange questions a couple of the members of the Military Police Brigade. Soon the Survey Corps suspect that he was tortured and murdered by one of the corrupt members because he refused to betray the Corps to their king.

However, he must keep the terms of their agreement, including his willingness to help the Survey Corps when they need supplies from him. Reeves agrees to Levi's terms, knowing that they can save what's left of Humanity.

A woman who has appeared in Eren's dream, Freida is Historia's older half-sister who was a kind-hearted person. She originally obtained the Coordinate at age fifteen from her uncle Uri Reiss, gaining the power to assume Titan form, manipulate memories, and endowed with the collective knowledge of human history. Frieda also taught Historia to read and be a kind person, later erasing herself for her half sister's memory when she wanted to be like her. As Frieda was inexperienced in controlling Titans, she was killed and eaten by Grisha Yeager during the fall of Wall Maria when she and her family took refuge in a church. Rod covered up her death to make it appear to be the work of bandits. As a previous Coordinate holder, Freida's memories were passed on Grisha and then Eren who eventually learned her identity.[ch. 62]
Captain Kenny Ackerman (ケニー・アッカーマン隊長 Kenī Akkāman-taichō)
Serving directly under the Reiss family after being brought into their services by Rod's younger brother Uri, Kenny leads an unit whose Vertical Maneuvering Equipment is designed for killing humans.

He is related to Mikasa's mother and somehow related to Levi. In the storyline, seeing through the Survey Corps's plan to stage a revolution, Kenna captures Eren and Historia under orders from Rod. But after learning of Rod's intentions for Historia, Kenny decides to betray Rod by partially freeing Eren so he can fight back.[ch. 64]

Titans

The Titans (巨人 Kyojin) are the primary antagonists of the series. They are giant creatures that usually resemble male humans in form, although lacking reproductive organs.[ch. 4] They can range in height from 3 to 15 meters (9.8–49.2 ft). Despite their enormous strength and toughness, their bodies are unnaturally light for their size. Their primary objective is to kill and eat humans, as they show no interest in attacking other animals. However, they do not require food or drink. They have hard skin and regenerative abilities, and can only be killed by causing a deep incision at the nape of the neck. They have high body temperatures, causing them to emit steam.[ch. 4]

Over the course of the series, some of the Titans, referred to as Abnormal (奇行種 Kikō-shū), show signs of intelligence. There are humans, such as Eren, who can assume Titan form by possessing the "Titan's power" (巨人の力 Kyojin no Chikara).[vol. 2] This ability is revealed to be tied to a form of cannibalism among Titans where the ability to assume human form is possible by ingesting spinal fluid. The transformation is triggered by a self-inflicted wound but also requires having a clear, specific goal in mind. While in this form, the human's normal body rests in the nape of the neck, connected via masses of muscular tissue.[vol. 2] It is later revealed that the Reiss family had the ability to create these types of Titans using a special serum, and control them with a god-like ability called the Coordinate that also effects the memories of humans save those of Asian ethnicity or those of the Ackerman bloodline. A group of figures with the Titans' Power composed of Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie were sent to infiltrate Wall Maria to find the one who possesses the Coordinate for an unknown reason, targeting Eren as a result. The Beastly Titan is confirmed to also have this ability, Annie appearing to display it, along with another ability to somehow turn humans into Titans.

The Smiling Titan (カルラを捕食した巨人 Karura o hosoku-shita Kyojin)
A 14–15 meters (46–49 ft) tall Titan with an eerie permanent smile that eats Eren's mother.[ch. 2] It reappears when the Survey Corps leads an assault to retrieve Eren after he, Krista, and Ymir are kidnapped by Bertolt and Reiner. It is during this time that Eren first learns of his Coordinate power and inadvertently orders the various Titans to kill the Smiling Titan.[ch. 50]
Sawney and Bean (ソニーとビーン Sonī to Bīn, alt. "Sawney and Beane"[ep 15])
Sawney Voiced by: Jonathan C. Osborne[ep 15]
Beane Voiced by: Cris George[ep 15]
A 4-meter (13 ft) Titan and a 7-meter (23 ft) tall Titan captured by Eren for Hange's studies. With them, she discovers that Titans require sunlight to operate, as Sonny seems to become lethargic without sunlight, but Bean appears to still be active to some extent. In the anime, Hange reveals they were named after Sawney Bean, the leader of a clan of cannibals who hunted and ate their victims before the authorities found and exterminated them.[ep 15] Both are killed by Annie Leonhart.[ep 24]
Beastly Titan (獣の巨人 Kemono no Kyojin)
This 17-meter (56 ft) Titan first appears within Wall Rosé, and has more of a Bigfoot-like appearance than the other Titans, with a body covered in hair, a simian face, and incredibly long and thin arms. He is also highly intelligent compared to the other Titans, and even has the ability to speak eloquently in the human language, using it to command other Titans. He also has the unique ability to function at night, when most Titans become docile. He expresses interest in the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment, daintily stripping Mike of his gear so he may study it before allowing his fellow Titans to devour the soldier. The Beastly Titan also uses his long ape-like arms to easily scale the Walls as if rock climbing, and can hurl large boulders with high accuracy. Though uninterested in eating people itself, the Beastly Titan is indifferent towards the well-being of mankind and allows human consumption. According to Ymir, there must be some kind of connection between Reiner, Bertolt, and the Beastly Titan as she claims that they showed no surprise when it first appeared before them.
Hidden Titans (幻の巨人 Maboroshi no Kyojin)
These are Titans that are immured the Walls, their existence related to the Reiss Family with them and the Wall Cult knowing of their existence. One such Hidden Titan, resembling the Colossus Titan, was in Wall Seena before a chunk of the wall was broken off as a consequence of the battle between Eren Yeager and Annie Leonhart in the Stohess District. Mikasa notices the titan's exposed face in the aftermath of the battle, with Pastor Nick calling for the immediate covering up of the Titan to keep it from regaining mobility. Armin suggests that the Walls were constructed using the Titan's hardening powers, Rod later adding that these Titans were used by their family.
The Ragako Village Titan (ラガコ村の巨人 Ragako-mura no Kyojin)
A Titan found within Ragako Village, the hometown of Connie Springer that was abandoned after the Walls were breached. It is discovered in the ruins of Connie's house, with limbs too thin to be able to move. When it sees Connie, it attempts to speak to him. Hange later deduces that the Titan is actually Connie's mother, having been turned into a Titan after being eaten by one, much like Eren. While the rest of the Titans in Ragako are slaughtered by the military, Connie's mother is taken in by Hange to be analyzed.
Titan encountered by Ilse (イルゼが遭遇した巨人 Iruze ga sōgū-shita Kyojin)
This Titan is the one that Ilse Langnar encountered in the woods. In her records, she notes that the Titan spoke and said "Ymir Person" (ユミルのたみ Yumiru no Tami) and "Miss Ymir" (ユミルさま Yumiru-sama), until the Titan realized she was not Ymir and ate her head. However, it stored her remaining corpse in a hollow tree, and treated the area as a sacred ground. Later, the Titan was killed by Levi, who was saving Oluo.
