Theo Magath

Theo Magath was extremely dutiful, and most of his personality and choices revolved around what he believed was his duty as a soldier of Marley. Even though he, as a typical Marleyan, was prejudiced against Eldians, valuing the lives of the Marleyans above the Eldians and being angered when one questions his orders, he was willing to put his opinion aside and let the Eldians under his command speak, in case they might have something useful to add to the current situation, such as Colt Grice and Zeke Yeager. He readily accepted Willy Tybur, an Eldian, as his superior after figuring it out, and accepted the fact that he will soon inherit the role as the general of Marley's army more out of a sense of duty to his commanding officer and homeland than personal desire, even though Willy had presented it as an offer instead of an order. He even states that the army does not belong to him, but the nation itself. Many of his decisions made him appear as though he considered the Eldians under him as expendable pawns and uncaring towards their lives, such as deciding to sacrifice 800 Eldian soldiers to destroy the anti-Titan artillery, while keeping two holders of the power of the Titans and the Warrior candidates safe. However, he mostly went with this course of action because it is most beneficial to Marley, as he wanted to keep Warriors, as well as the Warrior candidates, out of harm's way since most of his nation's might comes from the Titans, being aware of the other nations' technological superiority. Compared to other Marleyans, he was quite tolerant of Eldians, willing to hear them speak, did not appear to get physical with them, and even showed genuine concern not present in other Marleyans, noted when wishing a safe return to the Warriors who were leaving for the Paradis Island Operation. Despite this, Magath continued to "pragmatically" view the Eldians on Paradis as enemies of Marley and Eldians overall as lower class citizens until just after the Rumbling occurs. He still wished to save Marley, but acknowledged that the crimes of the older Eldian Empire should not be forced upon those currently living on the island. Magath proved himself to be a very cunning and perceptive individual, managing to figure out the Tybur family was secretly ruling Marley, and seeing through the country's deceptions in the various forms of propaganda. He also spoke with a certain level of dry wit, stating to Willy Tybur that the statue of Helos was the true spirit of Marley, due to it being completely hollow.

Magath was an older man with light eyes and a thin beard, mustache, and black hair with a short buzz cut. He had visible wrinkles from age but an overall healthy build and appearance. Like his fellow soldiers, he wore the standard Marleyan soldier uniform consisting of a light jacket and pants with a black clip at the collar, supply packs on the hip, suspender straps, a hard hat with a black stripe around it, and tall combat boots.

Magath was a skilled soldier and Commander, for his abilities he was made the head and Chief of the Warrior Program and the Warrior Unit. He was also highly skilled with the Anti-Titan Artillery as he was once considered one of Marley's best Artillerymen, he was able to shoot throught Zeke Yeager's nape with high accuracy.
