Reeves Company

The Reeves Company (Rībusu Shōkai) is a trading enterprise run by the Reeves family out of Trost District. Leadership passes to Flegel Reeves after the murder of his father Dimo, the firm's longtime boss. Though a civilian business, the company becomes entangled with both the Military Police's First Interior Squad and the Survey Corps during the political upheaval inside the Walls.

The company first appears in an unflattering light. As Trost evacuates during the Titan invasion, Dimo wedges an overloaded cargo cart into the escape gate and refuses to abandon his goods, stalling the fleeing crowd until Mikasa Ackerman threatens his life and forces him to back down.

Its pivotal moment arrives during the uprising against the Royal Government. The First Interior Squad coerces the firm into abducting Eren Yeager and Historia Reiss, but Levi Ackerman senses that Dimo has come to genuinely care for Trost's people and persuades him to defect to the Survey Corps. The planned handover becomes bait meant to lead the soldiers to Rod Reiss; Kenny Ackerman anticipates the ruse and slaughters Dimo along with the employees present, missing only Flegel, who hides in the woods. The killings are pinned on the Survey Corps until Hange Zoë convinces Flegel to fight back. He goads the Interior Police into admitting the murders in front of witnesses, a confession that clears the Corps' name and swings public feeling behind the coup, after which he proclaims himself the company's new boss.

The firm keeps supporting the military afterward, providing the meat the soldiers eat on the eve of the operation to retake Wall Maria, which is how Flegel and the people of Trost know to see them off. Years later the company is entrusted with rebuilding Shiganshina District, an effort thrown into disarray when the military abruptly clears the district of civilians.

Dimo Reeves builds the company and leads it until his assassination by the Anti-Personnel Control Squad. His son Flegel takes control after publicly exposing the true killers. Employees Dan and Jim number among the company's dead.
