One day during the early 830s, Magath was supervising a training session of the Warrior candidates with Tom Ksaver, the Beast Titan at the time. By the early 840s, Magath had achieved the rank of commander. Afterward, he acted as one of the chief overseers of the Warrior program, evaluating the performances of each individual Warrior candidate and selecting the top performers to be inheritors of the power of the Titans.

Early in his career, Magath was considered one of the best artillerymen in the Marleyan military. While the details of his rise to power are unknown, Magath has been a member of the Marleyan military for over twenty years. 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 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 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. Despite this, Magath continued to view the Eldians on Paradis as enemies of Marley and Eldians overall as lower class citizens until just after the Rumbling occurs. 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. 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. 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. He even states that the army does not belong to him, but the nation itself. 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. 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. 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. 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. He had visible wrinkles from age but an overall healthy build and appearance. Magath was an older man with light eyes and a thin beard, mustache, and black hair with a short buzz cut. įormerly a commander ( 隊長 Taichō ?) of the Eldian Unit of the Marley army, and before one of the chief overseers of the first Warrior candidates during their training, he later led the Eldian Warriors in the Marley Mid-East War against the Mid-East Allied Forces, playing a key role in Marley's victory. Theo Magath ( テオ・マガト Teo Magato ?) was the general ( 元帥 Gensui ?) of the Marleyan military, successor to General Calvi through the support of Willy Tybur and the governmental party of Marley. I finally realized.just how happy I would have been.if only those kids could've lived normal lives I've done nothing I can be proud of.In spite of what my conscience told me.I instructed children to act in a country's best interest.
