Mike Zacharias

Squad leader of the Survey Corps. A male soldier with a beard on his mouth and chin. Height: 196 cm. Weight: 102 kg. He is taciturn and has an unusual habit of sniffing people he meets for the first time and then snorting. His sense of smell is extraordinarily sharp, allowing him to detect the presence of Titans by scent. His skills in combat against Titans are extremely high, making him the second most capable soldier in the Survey Corps after Levi, and he is highly trusted by Commander Erwin. He is a veteran elite who has survived for five years, and during the 57th expedition outside the walls, he acted alongside Erwin as a reliable member and attacked the nape of the Female Titan with Levi. He did not participate in the Battle of Stohess District and instead took on the mission of confining the 104th Training Corps soldiers within the Corps with Nanaba and Gelgar. To allow his subordinates in the Survey Corps to escape from the Titans that appeared within the walls, he acted as a decoy alone. Despite being in an unfavorable environment with almost no buildings or trees as obstacles, he single-handedly faced nine Titans simultaneously, defeating five of them and still having strength to spare. However, while avoiding a horse thrown by the Beast Titan, he was attacked and injured by a small Titan lying in ambush, and his vertical maneuvering equipment was taken by the Beast Titan. Even in a hopeless situation, he continued to encourage himself and tried to fight bravely until the end, but he was attacked by three Titans waiting on the Beast Titan's orders, fell into despair, and was devoured alive, dying a gruesome death while letting out a harrowing scream.
