Moses Braun

"Let's teach this thing the power of the human race!!"

- Moses charges a Titan

Moses Braun (モーゼス・ブラウン) was a member of the Survey Corps and the first person shown to be killed by a Titan at the beginning of the series. He appeared to show great passion for humanity and was a conditioned soldier.

Appearance
Braun had unkempt, cheek length, light hair. He was well built and wore the typical uniform of a member of the Survey Corps along with the common green cloak.

Fall of Shiganshina arc
During a mission with the Survey Corps, Braun's squad begins to take formation around a Titan via horses in order to kill it, and soon after, he switches to vertical maneuvering equipment with his team mates. He then takes position and attempts to kill the targeted Titan.

When the Survey Corps returns to the Shiganshina District after their failed expedition, his mother starts asking for him, and the Commander of the Survey Corps, Keith Shadis, gives her Moses' arm, all that remains of him.
