Yan
CharacterYan belongs to the Dissidence Movement, the resistance group that stirs unrest in Attack on Titan: Before the Fall. The spin-off manga gives him only a passing part among the movement's ranks inside Wall Rose, introducing him in the chapter Disturbance in the City, and he does not survive the story.
Appearance
Before the Fall grants Yan so little panel time that no meaningful description of him survives. The manga confirms nothing beyond his being a human man.
Personality
His temperament goes unexplored on the page. The lone hint at his convictions is the company he keeps: membership in a dissident organization opposing the established authorities.
