Story
Clash of the Titans arc
Mr. Springer is one of the Titans that were created by the Beast Titan at the start of Wall Rose's Titan invasion.
Shortly after the residents of Ragako were turned into Titans, Mr. Springer's Titan began to wander the southeastern towns of Wall Rose in search of food. It comes across a newly settled village where it enters into a home housing a little girl and her mother, who could not evacuate due to her bad legs. Overpowering the mother, Mr. Springer's Titan begins eating away at her leg while the daughter sits by traumatized for some time until Sasha Blouse, assisting in Wall Rose's evacuation, attempts to kill the Titan. However, her efforts with a common chopping ax prove ineffective, and she is left with no choice but to take the girl and escape.[3]
Mr. Springer's Titan pursues Sasha and the girl outside of the village, where Sasha confronts the Titan while telling the girl to run for help. Using a bow and arrow, Sasha attempts to blind the Titan's eyes. She succeeds in piercing one, though she doubts her aim when she is left with one arrow. Taking a risk, Sasha discards the bow and stabs the Titan's eye with the last arrow, using the blood from the woman's leg to escape Mr. Springer's grasp when she lands against its body.[4]
It is unknown what Mr. Springer's Titan did after being blinded by Sasha, though it would eventually be killed by the Survey Corps at some point during the week before Wall Rose was declared Titan-free.[5]

Trivia

- He shares a birthday with Gunther Schultz.
