Thomas Wagner

Thomas Wagner (トーマス・ワグナー) was a graduate of the 104th Trainees Squad. He was briefly assigned to the middle guard after the Colossal Titan's second attack.

Appearance
Thomas had blond hair and light brown-coloured eyes, and he could usually be seen wearing the standard Trainee uniform, or a simple casual attire when off duty.

Personality
Thomas was initially quite pessimistic about defeating the Titans, believing that humanity ultimately stands no chance, but he would later change his way of thinking after hearing an inspiring speech from Eren. As a trainee, Thomas admitted to still being a bit cowardly, as he was too frightened to immediately act upon witnessing the Colossal Titan for the first time. Despite this, Thomas was also something of a leader, rallying his team into turning their first battle into a hunting competition despite the inherent uncertainty.

104th Trainees Squad arc
Thomas Wagner is introduced as hailing from the Trost District. A member of the 104th Trainees Squad, he first meets Eren Yeager while questioning him about the Colossal Titan. Later, he operates the training gear for the Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear during Eren's second attempt at his aptitude test. At Keith Shadis' orders, Thomas exchanges gear with Eren and it is discovered that Eren's gear was defective. After graduating, Thomas plans to join the Survey Corps.

Battle of Trost District arc
He is seen clearing out the cannons with his comrades atop Wall Rose. When the Colossal Titan appears outside Trost District, he can only watch in horror as the burst of steam from its body knocks the Trainees off the Wall. He is present when Eren Yeager orders them to attack the Colossal Titan, but is too shocked to immediately react. After the breach, he is assigned to the middle guard along with Eren, Armin Arlert, Mylius Zeramuski, Nac Tius, and Mina Carolina. He suggests they have a contest on who can kill the most Titans.

After witnessing the alarming amount of Titans in the middle guard, a Titan lunges itself in mid-air and the group scatters onto a rooftop, but unfortunately, Thomas is caught and swallowed whole, while his teammates look on in horror.

Eren, in his Titan form, would later avenge Thomas's death by brutally killing the Titan responsible.
