Kitz Weilman

Kittsu Vēruman (キッツ・ヴェールマン) is a captain of the Garrison and commander of the 1st Division Elite Force.

Personality
A coward at heart, Woerman was willing to abandon his post as commander of the supply depot using military protocol as an excuse, an act that jeopardized the lives of not only his direct subordinates but every soldier fighting in Trost. In stressful situations, his paranoia tends to overwhelm his sense of judgement, leading him to act rashly without considering all aspects before him. This has not gone unnoticed by his superiors, as Dot Pixis pointed out that despite his imposing physique, Woerman was perpetually weak-minded and foolish.

Battle of Trost District arc
Woerman first appears during the battle of Trost, briefing soldiers of the breach and telling them to fight the Titans. He is placed in charge of the supply depot but abandons his position under the pretense of organizing reinforcements. When three of the cadets accuse him of using military protocol as an excuse to save himself, he angrily threatens to charge them with treason and immediate execution if they attempt to hinder his departure any further.

Later, after Eren Yeager emerges from his Titan form; Woerman has him, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert surrounded by troops and demands that Eren explain the nature of his transformation or all three of them will be executed on the spot. He is incredibly concerned and makes it known that since Titans are the main enemy of humanity, Eren is no different. Rico Brzenska agrees with Woerman that Eren is a threat, while Ian Dietrich cautions that losing Mikasa would be a serious blow to humanity's strength. When Eren's answer fails to satisfy him, Woerman orders a cannon fired at them, forcing Eren to transform once again in order to protect his friends. Despite Armin's impassioned plea and argument that Eren's Titan form could be used to turn the tide against the enemy, Woerman refuses to see Eren as anything more than an enemy and attempts to have them executed again. During the entire confrontation he is riddled with fear. Before he can fully give the order, Dot Pixis appears and orders him to stand down.

Captain Woerman appears shortly after among Garrison soldiers, wondering what Pixis' motives were for saving Eren. He is among the officers questioning those who are trying to desert the Garrison, and again threatens execution.

Clash of the Titans arc
Woerman appears again during the supposed breach of Wall Rose. He is commanding the eastern line of defense and lures Titans into cannon fire before Rico Brzenska cuts their neck, killing them.

Trivia
