Dirk (Anime)

Dirk (ディルク) is a member of the Scout Regiment and a team leader (班長) during the mission to reclaim Wall Maria.

Appearance
Dirk is a man of average height and build, with long, dark blond hair that he keeps pushed back out of his eyes. He also has a thin beard on his chin and cheekbones, and a small mustache. When not wearing the standard Scout Regiment uniform his attire consists of a white button-up shirt, dark pants, and a black vest.

Personality
Dirk appears to be a rather calm man. When violence erupts among the other scouts, Dirk only makes a casual note of their behavior, and makes no effort to break up the fighting or intervene in any way.

The Uprising arc
Dirk is seen attending a meeting between Erwin and the other Scout Regiment officers to discuss the recent revelations involving Eren Jaeger's father. After the meeting, Dirk suggests possibly punishing Keith Sadies for withholding information from the Military, but Hange Zoë dismisses the notion, claiming that Keith is not worth the effort.

Later, Dirk can be seen watching with his fellow leaders as the scouts fight each other for the meat that is being served in celebration of the mission recapture of Wall Maria. Although Dirk takes special note of the violence that begins erupting as a result of the meat, he is not concerned enough to try to stop it, choosing instead to ignore the brawls.

The day of the operation, all soldiers are ready at dawn. Dirk and other high-ranking soldiers salute to members of the other branches and head to the Wall. However, the soldiers are surprised after seeing that the civilians know about the operation's goals and start to cheer for them. Although they are initially annoyed that word of their departure has spread, they are silenced by the sight of Erwin, ecstatic to have such fanfare for the Scouts, cheering along with the civilians.
