Erwin Smith
Character from Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama
The Survey Corps commander who gambled thousands of lives on a childhood dream about the truth of the world — a devil in a hero's uniform who led the most hopeless charge in military history and won.
Also known as: Erwin Smith, Commander Erwin, The Devil
What They Know
- 13th Commander of the Survey Corps, widely considered the greatest military commander within the Walls
- His father was a schoolteacher who theorized about memory alteration and was killed by the Interior Police — Erwin's entire military career was driven by proving his father's theory
- Invented the Long-Distance Enemy Scouting Formation, dramatically reducing expedition casualties
- Lost his right arm to a Titan during the operation to capture Annie Leonhart within Wall Sheena
- Orchestrated a bloodless coup against the royal government, installing Historia Reiss as queen
- Led the final suicidal charge against Zeke's Beast Titan at Shiganshina, ordering his soldiers to ride to certain death as a distraction so Levi could engage Zeke
- Died from injuries sustained during the charge; Levi chose to let him die rather than use the Titan serum to revive him, giving it to Armin instead
- Never saw the basement or learned the truth about the outside world — the dream that consumed his entire life
- His last words were a mumbled question about his father's lesson, suggesting he never escaped the guilt of a child who got his father killed
