Overview:

Erwin is a complex character, portrayed as serious, calculating, and always planning far in the future.

While he trusts his men, he was the first to realize that there was a spy interfering with the Scouts, and was able to come up with reasonable criteria to determine which of his soldiers to trust with vital information, and which to keep in the dark.

An eloquent speaker, Erwin is able to sway many people, such as the Military tribunal held to judge Eren and his comrades into choosing which recruitment branches to join.

Erwin is often seen as a very grim individual.

He accepts all news, good or bad, mockery or praise, with the same stoic attitude.

His ultimate goal is for humanity to once again rise up and become the dominant species over the Titans, a goal he was willing to sacrifice anything for.

He shared this unique stoic quality with men such as Commander Pyxis. As Armin put it, Erwin, like the aforementioned man, has the ability to send his men to die if it would further the cause of humanity.

He and they would sacrifice their own humanity in order to bring change to a world where those who cannot sacrifice things important to them will not change anything. 

Since he was able to make such commitments, he was a master strategist, shown multiple times through actions like capturing the Female Titan and leading a group of Titans to distract the Armored Titan so the military could save Eren.

(Appearance)

Erwin has a commanding presence, standing tall above most members of the Scout Regiment, and had a quite muscular build with his blond hair kept neatly parted on the left side.

Erwin always wears a calm and collected expression on his face, with his icy blue eyes being one of his most striking features.
