Kitts Verman is a Garrison Regiment captain stationed in the defensive forces protecting the Walls.
Despite his massive build and bearded, fierce appearance, his superior Dot Pixis famously calls him a “little deer,” pointing to his delicate and anxious temperament.
He believes that strict obedience to regulations is the core duty of a soldier.
Because of this, he often acts in a rigid, almost blindly rule‑following way, prioritizing protocol over personal judgment.
Kitts constantly breaks into a cold sweat, especially in high‑pressure situations.
Underneath his harsh tone lies a man driven by fear of failure and a heavy sense of responsibility for humanity’s safety.
Kitts is deeply conservative and lacks flexible thinking.
He tends to treat rules as absolute, seeing anyone who deviates from them as a potential threat that must be eliminated.
To him, a soldier’s job is to obey orders and uphold regulations, and anything outside that framework is suspect.
This absolutist mindset leads him to categorize people quickly as either “dutiful soldiers” or “rebels.”
Nevertheless, his actions are not rooted in malice but in the conviction that humanity’s survival must come first.
He is willing to risk his life on the front lines as long as what he does aligns with established orders.
Emotionally, he is fragile and easily shaken, often visibly panicking or sweating in tense moments.
Pixis’s “little deer” comment captures this contrast between his imposing physique and his overly sensitive, anxious heart.
Kitts appears primarily during the Trost District incident, shortly after many trainees, including Eren Yeager and his friends, graduate from the Training Corps.
He is responsible for explaining the situation to the new soldiers and overseeing their deployment during the evacuation and defense.
After the evacuation of civilians from Trost is completed, Eren’s mysterious transformation into a Titan becomes the central problem.
Seeing Eren as an unknown and potentially inhuman threat, Kitts concludes that he might be an “enemy disguised as a human.”
Driven by fear and his rigid sense of duty, Kitts moves to execute Eren along with Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert, whom he labels as possible traitors for defending Eren.
He issues orders to eliminate them using artillery, treating the situation as the suppression of internal rebels rather than an opportunity.
When Armin steps forward, salutes, and desperately tries to persuade him that Eren is an asset, Kitts hesitates but remains intent on following regulations.
Just as he is about to carry through with the attack, Dot Pixis intervenes and halts the order, openly mocking Kitts as a man “delicate like a little deer despite his large body.”
Kitts also attempts to execute soldiers who are trying to flee in terror, branding them as traitors for abandoning their posts.
