Dimo Reeves

Dimo Rībusu (ディモ・リーブス) was a merchant that led the company that was named after him. He was stationed in Trost District.

Appearance
Dimo Reeves was a short, overweight man. His head was balding with black hair on the sides and a thin dark moustache and beard. He had brown eyes and bright skin. He was usually well dressed, with a brown leather jacket, grey vest, and pink button up shirt with red brown dress pants and brown dress shoes.

Personality
Dimo Reeves first appeared during the invasion of Trost District, where he was seen as a selfish businessman blocking the inner gate with his cart. He comments that their lives are not worth half as much as his cart, and orders them to push. He only relents when his life is threatened by Mikasa Ackerman, not due to any change of heart.

Much later on, after his talk with Levi on top of the Wall Rose, it was revealed that he was actually not as selfish as he first seemed, and he agreed to help the Survey Corps if they assured his survival. He turned out to be a very intelligent and honest man, although he obviously focused a lot on the profit of his business. His discussion with Levi also revealed, that he was forced by the government to kidnap Historia Reiss and even states himself that he was hesitant the Military Police Brigade could stand any chance against the "Titan killers" from the very start.

Battle of Trost District arc
Dimo first appears during the invasion of Trost District where he is seen blocking the inner gate of Wall Rose with a cart full of merchandise, effectively preventing most of the survivors from escaping the town. Upon being questioned by a citizen, he responds by saying that he owns the companies in this town and pays for everyone's meals. He then attempts to rally the citizens into pushing his cart, commenting that their lives are not worth as much as his cart. He is then confronted by Mikasa Ackerman, who tells him that her comrades are dying trying to buy time for the citizens to evacuate, but he simply responds that it is natural for soldiers to die for the sake of protecting people. This enrages Mikasa who approaches him and threatens to kill him. This causes Dimo to reluctantly order his men to remove the cart from the gate so the citizens can escape.

The Uprising arc
He sends his subordinates to kidnap Eren and Historia, but they're pursued by the Special Operations Squad which later leads to him being captured. He is convinced by Levi to help them oppose the Military Police Brigade. He later rides a cart carrying Djel Sannes and Ralph, telling them he's taking them to the place where he has Eren and Historia captured, but purposely throws the cart down a cliff. As Sannes and Ralph fall into the river down below, they are rescued and captured by Survey Corps.

When the day of delivering Eren and Historia to the Military Police finally comes he is asked by Captain Kenny Ackerman if he knows about a man known as Levi Ackerman and assumes he is talking about Captain Levi. He is then killed by the Captain by having his throat slit open.

Later on, Reeves' body is taken to Trost District by the Military Police who blame the death on Erwin and the Survey Corps. His wife is sobbing on the ground next to him and tells Erwin to get away from her husband. Erwin begins to talk about the bad things Reeves' did like blocking the evacuation and using questionably legal tactics. However, he then talked about how Reeves had saved Trost even though the citizens made him an outcast. Erwin then promised to avenge his death.
