Nac Tias
CharacterNac Tias trains alongside Eren Yeager in the 104th Training Corps and falls during the defense of Trost District. Posted to the middle guard, he dies with nearly his entire squad when an abnormal Titan tears through their formation, one of the first losses that hardens the surviving cadets.
Appearance
Dark hair marks Nac out among his fellow cadets, and he stands a bit above the squad's average height. His clothing never varies from the uniform issued to every member of the 104th Training Corps.
Personality
The story gives Nac almost no time to reveal who he is, but his last act speaks for him. When an abnormal Titan wounds Eren Yeager, Nac and the rest of the squad rush in to help their comrade instead of retreating, a choice that costs every one of them their lives. Armin Arlert later frames his death to the other trainees as a brave one, carried out in the line of duty.

When Trost District comes under attack, Nac deploys with the middle guard. His squad barely gets into position before an abnormal Titan ambushes them, devouring Thomas Wagner. Eren is maimed attempting to avenge Thomas, and Nac dies alongside the others who try to reach him. Armin afterward reports the loss to the remaining members of the 104th, honoring how Nac fell.
