Jurgen

Jurgen (ユルゲン) was a member of the Survey Corps and a participant of the 57th expedition.

Appearance
Jurgen was a man of average height, he had long brown hair which he kept tied back with a green hair tie and bangs cut across his forehead. His eyes were grey, and he wore the typical uniform of the Survey Corps.

Personality
Jurgen was a reckless man, who disobeyed his superiors and put his entire brigade in danger just to retrieve a body. This recklessness would prove to be the end of him. When his friend Ivan was killed, he showed more composure than his friend Dieter; but he still chose to disobey his superiors to retrieve his body. In his final moments he expressed great fear and regret on his face as he was killed without even completing the task he had set out to do.

The Female Titan arc
Jurgen is first seen during the 57th expedition while the Survey Corps are returning to Karanes District. He and Dieter urge Erwin Smith for permission to return to the Titan Forest to recover the body of their fallen comrade, Ivan. After the Commander rejects their request, they continue to push him for it until Captain Levi intervenes and tells them that Ivan will be dead regardless of whether or not they have his body. Unable to handle the higher ups decision, Jurgen and Dieter act on their own accord and retrieve Ivan's body alone. Unfortunately, a swarm of Titans chases after them on their way back, one of which grabs Jurgen off his horse and eats him.
