Mike Zacharias

Mike Zakarius is a trusted member of the Scouting Legion and is considered the second strongest fighter after Corporal Rivaille.

Personality
He's an acknowledged leader with a tactical mind. He also seems to care a lot for his squad as he sacrificed himself to allow his squad to escape.

He has the habit to "sniff" people out when he meets them.

Abilities
His power is considered to be only second to Corporal Rivaille and the fact that he easily disposed of 4 Titans emphasizes that statement.

He apparently has a very sensitive nose that can track titans further than the human sight.

Story
Mike first appears in Ch. 19 when he escorts Eren to court for his trial.

In Ch. 34, Mike is watching over a number of Scouting Legion members who are under suspicion of being an accomplice to Annie Leonhardt when Titans unexpectedly appear within Wall Rose. After ordering the others to escape and warn the surrounding towns, Mike takes on nine Titans by himself in order to by them time to get away. He manages to kill five of them before being defeated by the Hairy Titan, which steals his Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear for inspection before instructing another Titan to eat him.
