Kurz Mauer

Kurz Mauer (クルツ・マウア) is a recruit of the Survey Corps.

Appearance
Kurz is a tall individual with light colored hair swept to the left side. He wears a white button up shirt underneath the traditional uniform worn by the Training Corps.

Personality
Kurz has an air of professionalism to him, seen as he is always standing or sitting upright at attention. He also has a heightened sense of justice and bravery. This is shown after coming face to face with the threat of Titans and not withdrawing from joining the Corps like many of his fellow trainees.

Restoration of the Survey Corps arc
Kurz is one of the many trainees that volunteer to take part in the training regimen that is offered by Carlo Pikale for those interested in joining the Survey Corps. He is one of the five that is able to pass the initial aptitude test and is given the chance to operate the vertical maneuvering equipment. Despite being shown the real threat Titans pose, he does not withdraw his application like many other trainees over the next few days. Soon after the trip to Wall Maria, Kurz, along with Ivo and Hugo, are suited up with the vertical maneuvering equipment while the rest of the class looks on. After Carlo takes them to the nearby forest, Kurz volunteers to go first. He succeeds in anchoring himself to a tree, but is caught by surprise by the speed. He tries to orient himself in time, but fails and lands headfirst into the tree, knocking himself unconscious and trapped upside down.
