High-ranking merchant

This company official (商会上層部の男) is a former member of the King Fritz's assembly. After a successful uprising led by Survey Corps commander Erwin Smith, he is imprisoned by the Military.

Appearance
He is a man with short side-swept black hair, and a clean-shaven face with bright colored eyes. As an aristocrat, he used to wear a black suit over a white shirt and cravat, though after his imprisonment, he wears typical jail attire.

Personality
The company aristocrat is a selfish man, putting his own personal gain over the welfare of the Walls' citizens. He, along with the rest of the council, was prepared to disband the Survey Corps, and execute its commander, for his own personal interest. The company aristocrat creates a pretense that disbanding the Survey Corps would be in the interest of the people, however this claim was shattered when under the ruse that Wall Rose was breached. He agreed to shutting out the citizens of Wall Rose, showing that he acts in his own interest, not the peoples.

The Uprising arc
He is seen discussing recent matters alongside King Fritz and the other leaders of the Royal Government. He later appears to listen to Erwin's defense against treason and the importance of the Survey Corps.

During the trial, a member of the assembly informs Erwin of what has been happening during his imprisonment and how Captain Levi has killed multiple members of the Military Police Brigade. The Company Official then remarks how Levi and his comrades refuse to surrender and are a threat to the peace. Right as they sentence Erwin to be executed, a messenger interrupts and informs them that Wall Rose has been breached. He quickly converses with his fellow assembly men and agrees to immediately seal the gates to stop any refugees. He and the other leaders then discuss how they will soon be in control of the Founding Titan again, however at the same time Nile Dok declares he will disobey orders and his interrupted by Zachly who offers to join Nile in a revolt. He is alarmed by Zackly who informs them the news of an attack were fake in order to test them and is subsequently arrested.
