Marlowe Freudenberg

Marlowe Freudenberg (マルロ・フロイデンベルク) is a member of the Military Police Brigade stationed in Stohess District.

Personality
Marlowe is a very righteous person. While most who join the Military Police Brigade do so because they want a safe position far from the danger of the Titans, Marlowe did so because he wants "to uphold justice and do what's right". His goal is to rise to the top of the organization so he can stop the pilfering of taxes and misappropriation of land.

Story
Marlowe first appears as a member of the same Military Police Brigade unit as Annie Leonhart, and is assigned to guard the Survey Corps convoy transporting Eren as it passes through Stohess District. When he explains his motivation for joining the Military Police Brigade to Annie and says that he views those who joined for other reasons as "scum", Annie suggests to him that it is not the people composing the system that are corrupt but rather the system itself.

Marlowe is later seen questioning his superiors about the battle between Annie and Eren in their Titan forms; as he was unaware that Annie is the Female Type Titan.

In the Anime, the scene where Marlowe expresses his true intentions to his comrades (Including Annie), is extended with Marlowe leading the Recruits through Stohess, when he witnesses his superiors selling Military equipment on the Black Market. On questioning them about their actions, he is bribed with a coin, but he persists by telling them that it's a crime. Marlowe is then beaten up by one of the Officers, Annie intervenes and tells them to let him go with just that (beating), Hitch follows up by commiting to discipline Marlowe or the Superiors could be left to face an escalated situation with the crowd nearby involved.

The Officers relay a last warning message before walking away. As Marlowe tries to reach his Rifle in order to Shoot them, Annie comments that if he wants to do it as punishment for injustice, she wouldn't mind helping him. Marlowe resists & breaks down in shame. He asks Annie if that idiot (Eren), she knew, would have done it. Annie replies by saying "Possibly". This surprises Marlowe and he questions whether he's also a piece of trash caught up in the flow of the world. Annie says that no one knows, but that's how normal humans would behave; while she only wants the weak people who are trapped in the flow, to be considered human too.

Abilities
His exact abilities are not shown, but presumably he was skilled enough to gain entry into the Military Police Brigade.
