Reiner Braun's father is a Marleyan man who had an illegal relationship with the Eldian woman Karina Braun. He is the estranged father of Reiner Braun.

Appearance
Reiner Braun's father's appearance is distinctly burly and muscular, standing tall with broad shoulders, giving him an intimidating presence. He has short, wiry hair with a hair line receded to the back of his head, his beard and mustache join up with his sideburns. His facial features are defined, with thin eyebrows and sharp, bright eyes. He looks haggard with lines across his forehead and bags under his eyes.

Personality
He is shown to be a desperate and fearful man since he disowns his own son out of fear of getting hung by the Marley government for having an illegal relationship with an Eldian woman.

History
He met an Eldian woman named Karina Braun while working the barracks. Even though it was forbidden, they had a secret relationship. Some time later, Karina gave birth to their son, Reiner.

He eventually abandoned his lover and his little son for his own safety. He was also afraid of the safety of his Marleyan family members since the consequences of his actions - his illegal relationship, would result in cruel punishment for him and his family.

He would eventually meet his son in 845. As the boy mentioned his mother he began to feel uneasy, before screaming and insulting the two Eldians when Reiner spoke about the possibility of having the three of them reunited.
