Kitz Woermann is the Captain of the Garrison Regiment’s 1st Division Elite Forces, serving under Commander Dot Pyxis. Though his rank places him among the more trusted officers within the Walls, Kitz is remembered as a soldier whose defining trait was his tendency toward paranoia and rash judgment. His leadership during the early Titan invasions showed both his flaws and his determination to fulfill his duty in humanity’s struggle for survival. 

Kitz Woermann has a tall and broad build, giving him a physically imposing presence on the battlefield. He has sunken eyes that reflect his constant state of tension and worry, along with gold-colored eyes that intensify his uneasy look. His most distinguishing feature is his thick brown mustache, which fully covers his upper lip, paired with a beard that frames his jaw. He keeps his brown hair slicked back, further emphasizing his stern and severe expression. His appearance embodies that of a strict military man, though his nervous mannerisms often betray his outwardly strong look. 

Kitz is a man plagued by fear and paranoia. In high-pressure situations, his judgment is often clouded, causing him to make rash and sometimes irrational decisions. His superior, Commander Pyxis, once noted that despite Woermann’s imposing physique, he was weak-minded and foolish, showing that courage does not always accompany strength.

Yet, beneath this paranoia lies a soldier who is loyal to his duty and the chain of command. When ordered, he follows through, even if fear dominates his heart. Interestingly, when Wall Rose was reported to have been breached, Kitz showed a calmer, more decisive side, commanding the eastern line of defense without displaying the same level of panic. This duality in his personality reflects a man constantly torn between his duty as a captain and his own struggle with fear.

Early Career
Little is known about Woermann’s life before the fall of Wall Maria, but his rise to the position of Captain of the 1st Division Elite Forces suggests a soldier with significant field experience and dedication to the Garrison Regiment. His strict demeanor and commanding presence earned him a reputation, though his anxiety often undercut his leadership.

Role in Trost District (Year 850)
Kitz played a central role during the Battle of Trost District, one of humanity’s first organized counterattacks against the Titans after Wall Maria’s fall. During this event, Eren Yeager revealed his ability to transform into a Titan, a revelation that caused chaos among the soldiers. Kitz, overwhelmed by paranoia, initially believed Eren to be a threat and pushed for his immediate execution, fearing that Eren’s powers could lead to the collapse of what little defense humanity had left.

Despite this, Commander Pyxis intervened, choosing instead to test Eren’s abilities in humanity’s favor. Though Kitz opposed this decision at first, he ultimately obeyed, reflecting his loyalty to the chain of command even when his fear urged him otherwise. This moment highlighted his role as a representative of the soldiers’ mistrust and uncertainty toward Eren Yeager and the unknown future of the Walls.

Later Years
After the Trost battle, Kitz continued his service within the Garrison. While not as prominent as other officers, he remained a symbol of the average soldier’s fear of the Titans and distrust of new powers. Unlike fearless leaders such as Pyxis or Erwin Smith, Kitz Woermann embodied the very human response of hesitation and doubt in the face of overwhelming danger. His survival and continued command showed that even flawed soldiers had a place in humanity’s desperate fight.

Legacy

Kitz Woermann may not have been remembered as a hero or a brilliant strategist, but his character served as a reminder of the fear and paranoia that gripped humanity during the Titan wars. His actions, particularly during the discovery of Eren Yeager’s Titan powers, marked a turning point in the story, symbolizing the clash between fear of the unknown and the hope for survival. Though often criticized for his weakness, Kitz’s role as captain ensured that his presence influenced the path of humanity, even if only from the shadows of greater leaders.
