Erwin Smith

13th Commander of the Survey Corps

He is a reasonable, intelligent and respected man. Despite Levi's similar concern for the members of his squad, if necessary, he is ready to sacrifice them for the rest of humanity without hesitation. He also developed a type of military formation that allows you to detect an enemy far away in advance. Also, for most of his service as a commander, he defended the independence of the Intelligence Corps, thereby saving it from disbandment.

Erwin is tall, slim and muscular. he has, as a rule, neatly styled blonde hair. Erwin Smith has blue eyes. He has thick dark eyebrows, for which he was called "browed" in childhood.

Erwin is considered serious and calculating. Despite the absolute trust, it is he who first begins to adhere to the idea that a spy has appeared among the soldiers of the Legion, and begins to think about a plan to capture him. In addition, he is an eloquent speaker who is able to skillfully play on the strings of the soul of many people.Erwin is adamant. He perceives information, treating it the same way, whether it's good news or bad, ridicule or, conversely, praise. After all, he clearly knows his goal and will not give up on it for anything.

He told Dot Pixis that he lived in the family of a simple teacher, but he did not mention anything about his mother. According to Erwin, he lived a quiet life, and at one of his father's lessons he asked a question that he did not answer, and only at home told him that the history of mankind is full of secrets and contradictions.

Erwin's father believed that the first people inside the walls simply had their memories changed. At that time, Erwin was still young and did not understand that there were things that needed to be kept quiet — he began to tell this theory to others. One day, members of the Military Police asked him who had told him about it, and he calmly replied that it was his father. On the same day, his father did not return home, and only then did Erwin realize that the government had killed him for coming very close to the truth.

It is known that Erwin, like many other people, entered the Cadet School, after graduating from which he went to the Survey Corps.
