Samuel

Samuel (サムエル) is a member of the 104th Trainees Squad.

Appearance
Samuel is a young man of average build and height, with dark brown hair and silver-coloured eyes. His complexion is slightly tanned, and his hair is parted in the centre with bangs and faint sideburns. He wears the typical uniform of the 104th Trainees Squad with a light green shirt underneath.

Personality
A minor character, there is little known about Samuel's personality. He appears to have been a fairly normal young man, concerned for the well-being of his friends and eager to join in celebrations.

104th Trainees Squad arc
Samuel Linke-Jackson was first seen as a member of the 104th Trainees Squad, being put through the traditional hazing of new recruits. When interrogated by Keith Shadis, he identified himself as being from Snate Village, and was mocked for having a stupid name.

Three years later, he was assigned to the same team as Eren Yeager and sent to work on the cannons mounted along to the top of Wall Rose. The group discussed which branch they intended to join, and Sasha Blouse revealed that she had stolen meat from the officers' rations. The group panicked at this, fearing the harsh punishment if they accepted her offer. However, the idea of reclaiming Wall Maria and having plentiful farmland again excited the group enough for Samuel to speak up and request a small portion of Sasha's stolen meat.

Hopeful of the future, the group returned to cleaning and repairing the cannons only to be stopped by the sudden appearance of the Colossal Titan. Taken by surprise, the entire group are blown from the Wall by a powerful wave of steam. The others managed to secure themselves along the Wall without incident, but Samuel was knocked unconscious by flying debris. Sasha rushed down the Wall to his rescue, catching him by launching one of her Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear hooks into his lower calf and then anchoring herself back to the wall with her other hook. He survived this initial ordeal, but his fate afterwards remains unrevealed.

Trivia
Samuel's full name is a clear reference to American actor Samuel L. Jackson.
