Marlowe's superior
CharacterAn unnamed ranking officer of the Stohess Military Police, this man embodies everything Marlowe Freudenberg despises about the interior brigades: handed oversight of Eren Yeager's escort through the district, he promptly offloads the job onto his subordinate and vanishes to drink, gamble, and play cards.
Appearance
Stubble shadows the officer's jaw beneath an untidy mop of brown hair worn to medium length. His eyes carry a tan-brown cast, and he dresses in the regular Military Police Brigade uniform. The anime adaptation gives him the name Dennis Aiblinger.
Personality
Laziness is his defining trait. Like many soldiers who never faced a Titan before or after Wall Maria fell, he treats his post as a paycheck, preferring cards and a bottle to actual duty even while on the clock. Any responsibility that lands on him gets pushed downhill to whichever lower rank is nearest.

During the Female Titan arc, this officer holds nominal charge of the mission escorting Eren Yeager's convoy through Stohess District.
