Tom Ksaver

Personality

Tom Ksaver presented a complex personality. On the surface, he was easy-going, compassionate, and curious, possessing a carefree attitude and a genuine interest in the mysteries of the Titans. He showed kindness and offered comfort to Zeke Yeager, forming a strong bond with the young boy. However, beneath this amiable exterior lay deep-seated self-loathing and regret stemming from the tragic deaths of his wife and son, a consequence of his hidden Eldian heritage. This guilt fueled a desire for self-punishment, leading him to embrace the role of a Warrior as a form of self-destruction. He also displayed a cynical view of the Warrior Unit's ideals, finding their willingness to sacrifice their lives for war to be foolish. His actions, particularly in guiding Zeke, reveal a conflicted individual torn between his personal remorse and a desire to leave a positive impact on the world, even if it meant manipulating events to achieve a larger goal. His final words to Zeke, expressing regret and a wish he'd never been born, highlight the profound weight of his guilt and the lasting impact of his choices.
