Okay, you can hide out back in the cargo hold. I'll take you as far as I can, but if we get caught, you're on your own. Understand?
—Pilot

The Atlas Pilot, named Fenix Atar in the commentary, was a character who first appeared in "No Safe Haven", when he agreed to smuggle Weiss Schnee from Atlas to Mistral with his airship. He died when the airship crashed en route due to a Grimm attack.

Personality[]

His demeanor was pleasant, and the two of them conversed on his cargo plane easily. However, he was capable of drawing a hard line when he must. He also admitted to smuggling Dust from Atlas.

Appearance[]

He wore a white uniform with black gloves, vest and black chaps over white pants. He wore a white helmet with a black visor that concealed his eyes and hair.

Trivia[]
