Griez

Griez keeps his dark hair shaved close to the scalp. Through most of his appearances he is dressed for restaurant work; after the Yeagerists pull him out of that job, he adopts the dark jacket and trousers worn by the rest of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers.

Like many of his countrymen, Griez carries a fanatical contempt for Eldians, and unlike other captured Marleyans on Paradis, years spent living among them never cracks it. Where fellow prisoners come to see the islanders as human beings like anyone else, he clings to the doctrine he was raised on.

His friend Niccolo becomes the focus of that bitterness. Listening night after night as Niccolo gushes about Sasha Blouse, the soldier he fell for, convinces Griez that his comrade has betrayed Marley, and the resentment curdles into cold cruelty. By the time he joins the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers he hands Niccolo over without hesitation, and his frustration boils out in vulgar abuse of the dead Sasha, whore and devil's daughter among the slurs he hurls in front of her grieving family.

Griez serves in Marley's navy aboard a fleet dispatched to probe Paradis Island after the collapse of the Paradis Island Operation. Captured by the island's Eldians, he is put to work waiting tables in the restaurant run by his fellow prisoner Niccolo, at one point fetching a specific bottle of wine for a table of Military Police officials.

When officers of the Survey Corps drop in to visit Niccolo, Griez alerts him and quietly tips off the Yeagerists, then helps the faction arrest the soldiers. Their warning that wine dosed with Zeke Yeager's spinal fluid is circulating through the Walls gets waved off as a theory Niccolo dreamed up. Later, Griez accompanies Onyankopon and Yelena to the prison holding Niccolo and the others. When his old friend wonders aloud whether the pair will end up ruling Paradis once Eren and Zeke's plan is carried out, Griez erupts, naming Niccolo the true traitor and defiling Sasha's memory until Yelena silences him with a bullet through the head. He shares a June 16th birthday with Marco Bott.
