Tom Xaver

Tom Xaver (トム・クサヴァー Tomu Kusavā?)[3] was an Eldian researcher and Warrior who held the power of the Beast Titan. He was the mentor and friend of Zeke Jaeger. Xaver had short dark hair and a round face. He wore the traditional apparel of a Warrior and a red armband, showing that he was an Eldian and an honorary Marleyan. Xaver also wore glasses that Zeke Jaeger would later wear as an adult. Ksaver's Beast Titan form possessed features of a bighorn sheep, having had a pair of dark curved horns on its head, a lengthened muzzle and a nose resembling the animal it takes after, and light fur growing on its head, neck, and upper body. Like most Titans, it stood bipedal. Possessing an inquisitive mind, Xaver was always curious about how the Titans came to be and mentioned to a young Zeke Jaeger that he joined the Titan Biology Research Society primarily because of his curiosity. Usually seen with a smile on his face, Xaver was an easy-going man with a slight care-free attitude; he was also compassionate and comforted Zeke after the boy turned in his parents to the Marleyan authorities. Underneath Xaver's friendly nature, he also harbored feelings of self-loathing, along with a desire to kill himself as a means to atone for the part he unknowingly played in the deaths of his family. He also seemed to care little about the ideals of the Warrior Unit by calling it stupid to shorten one's lifespan just to invade other countries.
