I was a little disapointed this chapter didn't end with a reveal of our Eldian spy, but still, it was okay. Getting a bit of solid info on Reiner's backstory was definite necessity, as he is starting to look more and more like a future core protagonist of some kind. I suspect it will be in a tragic fashion though, and that he will be unable to find a place in either camp, in end probably dying in some heroic fashion that is the only way to vindicate himself, perhaps to both the island and mainland Eldians. At least, that's what I think would be good.

But yeah, the one legged guy HAS to be a spy, most likely someone we could recognise, as we never see his face. Given that he's missing a leg and has dark hair, there is a good chance he is Eren, since I highly doubt Paradis would get some poor sod to lose his leg just to better infiltrate Marley. Plus, we saw that guy in the unfocused foreground in the last chapter, and while we couldn't see him clearly, he didn't look crippled then.

However, I feel it would be interesting if the spy was not Eren but someone totally out of left field that we're not expecting. For example that it could be Jean in some kind of elaborate disguise, and that while infiltrating the Marley he was involved in the fighting and lost his leg. That's just an example, but I would find it interesting if our Paradis spy was someone unexpected.
