## Story

### Humanity's Comeback arc

Samuel is introduced as a member of the 104th Cadet Corps, being put through the traditional hazing of new recruits. When interrogated by Keith Sadies, he identifies himself as being from Snate, and was mocked for having a stupid name.

### The Struggle for Trost arc

After the graduation of the 104th Cadet Corps, he is assigned to the same team as Eren Jaeger and is sent to clean the cannons mounted along to the top of Wall Rose in Trost District. The group discuss which branch they intended to join, and Sasha Braus reveals that she had stolen meat from the officers' rations. The group panic at this fact, fearing the harsh punishment if they accepted her offer. However, the idea of reclaiming Wall Maria and having plentiful farmland again excite the group enough for Samuel to speak up and request a small portion of Sasha's stolen meat along with the rest of the cadets.

Hopeful of the future, the group return to cleaning and repairing the cannons only to be stopped by the sudden appearance of the Colossal Titan. Taken by surprise, the entire group are blown from the Wall by a powerful wave of steam. The others manage to secure themselves along the Wall without incident, but Samuel is knocked unconscious by flying debris. Sasha rushes down the Wall to his rescue, catching him by launching one of her omni-directional mobility gear hooks into his lower calf and then anchoring herself back to the Wall with her other hook.

### War for Equestria arc

In the year 854, Samuel and Daz are among the Yeagerists stationed at Paradis Island's harbor to prevent anyone from attempting to use the island's airship. The two stop Armin Arlert, Connie Springer, and Fluttershy from commandeering the airship, explaining that they are suspected of working with Marley to undermine Eren Yeager's plan to destroy the world outside of Paradis. Armin, Fluttershy and Connie explain that they want to use the ship to pursue the Marleyan soldiers fleeing Paradis and Samuel and Daz agree to disarm the explosives placed on the ship.[4]

Shortly afterwards, Thunderlane announces to the Yeagerists that Armin, Connie, Fluttershy, Twilight and Mikasa Ackerman have betrayed Paradis. Daz begins rearming the explosives on the ship and Samuel shoots Fluttershy to stop her from interfering. Samuel orders Daz to blow up the ship and holds Connie at gunpoint, lamenting that his comrades betrayed him. Samuel is momentarily distracted by the Armored and Female Titans transforming, allowing Connie to tackle him. After Connie kills Daz who was about to shoof Fluttershy again Samuel puts his hands up, and begs Connie for mercy. Seeing this Connie lowers his gun, and as he is about to get off of Samuel the latter attacks the former, and tries to take Connie's gun. Connie and Samuel wrestle for a good few mintues, until Connie shoots and kills Samuel during the struggle.
