__Affiliation:__ Survey Corps; Squad Captain

A member of the Survey Corps and a Squad Captain at the time [Levi](https://anilist.co/character/45627/Levi), [Furlan Church](https://anilist.co/character/87928), and [Isabel Magnolia](https://anilist.co/character/87929/Isabel-Magnolia) had joined the Scouts. He disliked the idea of allowing the trio of former thugs to join the Survey Corps, especially when they were assigned to his squad and were from the Underground District. However, he acknowledged Levi's skills after seeing his abilities in action.



This prequel to megahit Attack on Titan answers the questions: How did Captain Levi of the Survey Corps go from street thug to humanity's strongest soldier? And how did Commander Erwin become a cold, calculating leader, ready to sacrifice anything to save the human race? The fires that forged this bond of loyalty and trust were intense indeed!
