On the night of Eren, Armin, and Mikasa's graduation from the 104th Training Corps, Hannes runs into them while going over reports with other Garrison soldiers. Hannes apologizes to Eren for Carla's death Over the next five years Hannes works diligently, steadily climbing through the ranks of the Garrison until becoming a captain. He escorts the two away from the chaos, apologizing repeatedly. Enraged, Eren continues punching, but Hannes catches the boy's punch, tearfully explaining that he himself had not been able to save Carla because he lacked the courage to try. Hannes throws him to the ground, telling Eren that he would not have been able to save his mother as he was not strong enough. Īfter they have escaped, Eren begins punching Hannes repeatedly, insisting that he would have been able to save his mother if Hannes had given him more time. Unable to bring himself to fight the Titan, Hannes flees with Eren and Mikasa, leaving Carla behind. Hannes initially ignores Carla's pleas to flee with the children in favor of engaging a nearby Titan, only to find himself frozen in fear at the sight of it.

Going to their house, Hannes arrives to find them desperately trying to free Eren's mother Carla from underneath the rubble of the house. Hannes explains why he could not save Carlaĭuring the fall of Shiganshina and subsequent Titan invasion, Hannes is informed in the midst of the chaos by Armin Arlert that Eren and Mikasa Ackerman went to their house to see if it has been destroyed and may be in danger. Eren retorts that living inside the Walls their entire lives makes them no more than caged animals, causing Hannes to worry that the boy is considering joining the Survey Corps. Hannes nonchalantly assures the boy that the Walls will never be breached and argues that Eren should be happy that the Garrison has nothing to do, as the day that they have their work cut out for them will be the day that Titans really do break in and threaten the peace of the Walls.

Their fun is interrupted by Eren Yeager, who criticizes them for not taking their job seriously and demands to know what they would do if Wall Maria was breached by the Titans while they were drunk. While on duty, Hannes and his companions keep themselves entertained by drinking and playing card games.
Hannes was also present at Grisha and Carla's wedding later on. When a plague broke out in the district, Hannes' wife was among the afflicted who were saved when Grisha developed a cure a debt to the Yeagers he became determined to repay. The man, Grisha Yeager, soon began working as a doctor in Shiganshina District. Drunk while on duty, Hannes was perplexed that anyone besides the Survey Corps would be "stupid" enough to leave the Walls, suggesting instead that the man may have left the Walls while intoxicated, explaining his memory loss. When Keith Shadis found a civilian beyond Wall Maria, the man was imprisoned for leaving the Walls without permission, and Hannes was stationed at his jail cell to watch him. Hannes thanked Grisha for his wife's recovery

He ultimately gave his life to protect them. Hannes cared deeply for Eren and Mikasa and looked out for them after Carla was eaten. He was greatly ashamed of his lack of courage five years ago, and waited to encounter the Titan who killed Eren's mother, Carla Yeager, again, in order to slay it and make up for his past mistakes.

Although somewhat cowardly, he was determined to die if it meant freeing Eren from his captors. Hannes was a very kind, good-natured man, but he always drank irresponsibly. He wore the typical uniform of the Garrison Regiment along with a v-neck shirt underneath. Hannes was a tall, well-built man with short blond hair, a thin dark mustache.
