Theo Magath

The leader of the Warrior Unit and later a marshal. A Marleyan. He leads the Marleyan warriors under Zeke. From numerous applicants, he selected Zeke, Marcel, Pieck, Reiner, Bertolt, Annie, and Porco as warrior candidates. He interacts with the warriors in an intimidating manner but has little sense of discrimination, recognizing them as capable subordinates if they are competent. He also approved Gabi's seemingly reckless plan and allowed the removal of the Eldian armband for that purpose, demonstrating flexible thinking. Despite the excellence of the Warrior Unit, he doubted the sanity of the upper echelons who entrusted the operation to reclaim the Founding Titan to children. He is concerned about Marley self-destructing due to the limitations of the Titans' power and the militaristic excesses of Marley, and he advocates for the reinstatement of conscription for Marleyans. After the military leadership was wiped out by Eren's surprise attack, he temporarily acts as marshal and engages in battle with the Eldian army from Paradis Island. After the war, he adopts Reiner's plan to surprise attack Paradis Island and, due to a shortage of personnel, serves as the gunner for the anti-Titan artillery mounted on the Cart Titan despite being a marshal. After the "Rumbling" is activated, he is left on Paradis Island and pursues Eren, leading the Marleyan Titans and collaborating with Hange and others. To allow Hange and the others' transport ship to escape, he and Keith self-destruct the remaining warships at the port and perish. As a commander of the Marleyan army, he takes a harsh stance towards the Eldians but internally wishes for a happy life for the warrior candidate children.
