Hannes

Hannes served in the Garrison and was a close, longtime friend of the Yeager family, responsible for saving both Mikasa and Eren from a Titan at the cost of his own life.

Kind and good-natured but chronically prone to drinking on the job, Hannes carried deep shame over his failure to act five years earlier, when he was too afraid to face the Titan that killed Carla Yeager. That guilt shaped his determination to make things right; when the moment came again, he chose to fight despite his fear, ultimately giving his life to protect the children of the woman he once failed to save.
