Thomas Wagner

Thomas Wagner (トーマス・ワグナー) was a graduate of the 104th Trainees Squad and was killed by a Deviant Type Titan during the battle for Trost District. He was briefly assigned to the middle guard after the Colossus Titan's second attack.

Appearance
Thomas had blond hair with pronounced sideburns, light brown-coloured eyes, and was usually seen wearing the standard trainee uniform, or 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 Colossus 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 Colossus Titan. Later, he operates the training equipment for the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment during Eren's second attempt at his aptitude test. At Keith Shadis' orders, Thomas exchanges equipment with Eren and it is discovered that Eren's equipment was defective. After graduating, Thomas planned to join the Survey Corps.

Battle of Trost District arc
He is seen cleaning out the cannons with his comrades atop Wall Rose. When the Colossus 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 Colossus 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 Deviant Type Titan lunges itself in mid-air and the group scatters onto a rooftop, but unfortunately, Thomas is caught and swallowed whole, while his team mates watch in horror. Enraged at the loss of his friend, Eren angrily goes after the Titan on his own to kill it and avenge Thomas, only to have his leg bitten off and then get eaten after saving Armin. Armin would later report his demise to the remaining members of the 104th Trainees Squad, saying he died valiantly in the line of duty.

Eren, in his Titan form, would later avenge Thomas's death by brutally killing the Titan responsible, by biting through the nape of its neck.

The Uprising arc
While speaking to Historia under the Reiss chapel, Eren mentions Thomas as being among the victims he and Grisha Yeager were responsible for killing by stealing the Titan's power.
