Appearance

Age shows plainly on this soldier, a middle-aged man whose hairline has receded and whose remaining dark hair is shaved close. His dress is the Military Police Brigade's standard uniform, and vertical maneuvering equipment hangs at his sides, never once put to actual use on panel.

Personality

A calm, collected, professional bearing hides genuine sadism. Taunting Flegel Reeves ahead of an execution visibly delights him, and he grows irritated when the young man denies him the terror he wants to see. He is also careless in his conduct, spilling Military Police secrets to a victim he assumes will be dead within moments, never considering who else might be listening.

History

The soldier rides with Kenny Ackerman to take custody of Eren Yeager and Historia Reiss at the exchange arranged with Dimo Reeves. Kenny murders Reeves at the handoff, and the soldier transports the body to Trost District, where he demands Erwin Smith's presence. Facing the commander, he asserts that Survey Corps soldiers must have killed the merchant while rescuing Eren from Military Police custody, and he informs Erwin that the branch will have to plead its innocence before the Royal Government.

He next hunts the murdered merchant's son, Flegel Reeves, cornering the fugitive in a damaged quarter of Trost. Savoring the moment, he belittles the young man, celebrates that his earlier decision to leave Flegel alive will no longer cost him his own life, and even explains why the Military Police killed Dimo: the man had chosen to align with the Survey Corps. Before he can fire, Hange Zoë and Moblit Berner drop in and strip him and his men of their weapons. Worse for him, the surrounding buildings turn out to be filled with citizens who have heard every word. He threatens that the Royal Government will silence anything they say, but Flegel plants himself on the soldier's head and proclaims that from now on the Reeves Company will shield Trost against the Military Police.
