Reiner Braun is a former member of the Survey Corps and a friend to Eren Jaeger and his platoon. He graduated with the group with flying colors. He is a strong, reliable man who has the spirit of a soldier, making Eren and his classmates admire him. In "Attack on Titan" season 2, Reiner is revealed to be the Armored Titan, one of the titans responsible for breaking the walls in the first season. After showing his true form, together with Bertolt Hoover, they kidnapped other Titan shifters Eren and Ymir. However, the two failed at the end of "Attack on Titan" season 2, losing Eren to the rest of the Survey Corps headed by Commander Erwin Smith.

In the manga, he is further revealed as a member of the Marley Warriors together with Bertolt Hoover.

The author replied that he would have been a farmer, "I want to live on the border and just plant crops. Though I can imagine that this kind of lifestyle has its own hardships, I would never be a soldier."
