Fugo

Hugo (フーゴ) is a member of the Garrison and friend of Hannes who assisted in the defense of Wall Maria's inner gate during the fall of Shiganshina District.

Appearance
Hugo has brown hair that is always slicked back. He wears the typical uniform of a member of the Garrison with a gray v-neck underneath. In combat, he also donned the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment.

Personality
Hugo appears to be a laid-back and somewhat cowardly individual. However, when in the line of duty, he became a leader among the Garrison, barking orders and taking charge of the defense of Shiganshina's inner gate. Even as he was about to be attacked, his only worry was making sure the gate closed before the Armored Titan reached it.

Fall of Shiganshina arc
He, along with Hannes, teased Eren Yeager for being distressed about their tactless negligence in keeping the people within the Walls safe from the Titans. While Hannes tries to explain to Eren that they are safe behind the Walls, Hugo makes a comment about the Survey Corps.

He later conducts the evacuation of the Shiganshina District, shepherding citizens and commanding his fellow Garrison soldiers that man the cannons. They continue firing despite the cannons terrible accuracy, and even after hearing and seeing Shiganshina's inner gate begin to close. When the Armored Titan appears and charges towards the inner gate, he and his comrades try to repel it, but their attempts are futile and the Titan smashes through the gate, successfully breaching Wall Maria.

Anime and Manga Differences

 * In the manga, Hugo remains seated while Hannes talks to Eren.
 * In the anime, his comment about the Survey Corps is left out. He also speaks in a reassuring manner, as opposed to the manga where he joins Hannes in teasing Eren.
 * In the anime, when the Armored Titan smashes through the inner gate, Hugo can be seen being sent flying by the explosion along with his comrades and debris from the wall, meaning he most likely got killed. However, this scene is not present in the manga, and it is unclear whether he was actually hit either by the debris or by the Titan, leaving his current status unknown.
