Elliot G. Stratmann (Anime)

Elliot G. Stratmann (エリオット・G・ストラットマン) is the president of the Marleen Company, a trading business in Stohess District.

Appearance
Elliot is a rugged man with a stern glance and broad shoulders. His eyes are brown, and he keeps his dirty blond hair combed back. He also has a thick mustache. When he is seen, he wears a well-made suit.

Personality
Elliot appears to be rather indifferent to most facets of life. Although he immediately reports when his daughter goes missing, he is apparently unfazed by the lack of urgency displayed by the Military Police. This detached attitude can again be seen in his reaction to learning that a new recruit has been assigned to look for his daughter, casually lamenting the fact that his tax dollars are being used to pay for a corrupt police force.

Wall Sina, Goodbye: Part One
On the morning before the Scout Regiment's 57th expedition beyond the Walls, Elliot is visited by a Military Police officer, Annie Leonhart. During their conversation, Elliot smokes a cigarette. Annie states that she wishes to find out more about Carly's disappearance, to which Elliot seems unsurprised that his daughter is still missing, even after ten days. He asks if the Military Police is incompetent, and Annie agrees with him. Elliot claims that she is lying, saying that they are negligent for not conducting a search at all. Annie agrees, but Elliot claims again that she is lying since a truly negligent system would not bother to send her over in the first place. Impressed with the man's intuition, Annie informs him that she is the first person to follow up on the report after it had gone through two other policemen. Elliot asks her how long she has been in the Military Police and is bitterly amused when Annie informs him that she has been in the MPs for only a month. Elliot tells Annie that he believes her to be trustworthy, and asks her to find his daughter.

Elliot explains that two days before she was reported missing, Carly did not show up for dinner with him, a tradition in their household regardless of their busy schedules. Annie asks many questions concerning Carly, but Elliot responds to each saying that he knows little about his own daughter. Their dinners together every day are held on the condition that neither would interfere with each other's business. Elliot tells Annie that their family returned to Stohess District three years after Carly had graduated from Einrich College with a major in chemistry. Annie asks if Carly could have come across an enemy of Marleen Company, but Elliot dismisses the idea, saying that he had not received any kidnapping ransom. Elliot is unsure if Carly could have left out of spite since they have cooperated in living together since her mother's death.

The conversation is cut short by a loud knocking at Stratmann's door. Then Elliot sends his butler to answer the door. The butler returns with a letter left by the visitor. Elliot reads the letter and asks Annie why she joined the Military Police, to which Annie says that it was for a peaceful life in the Interior. Annie leaves with no more questions and no real clues.
