Moses Braun (モーゼス・ブラウン) was a member of the Scout Regiment and the first person shown to be killed by a Titan at the start of the series. He appeared to show little emotion and was a conditioned soldier.

Appearance
Moses had unkempt, cheek length, blond hair, and light-green eyes. He was well built and wore the typical uniform of a member of the Scout Regiment along with the common green cloak.

Personality
Moses appeared to be a courageous man, as he did not hesitate to engage Titans encountered on expeditions. He also appeared to possess a sense of bravado, declaring during battles that he would teach the Titans "the power of the humanity."

The Fall of Shiganshina arc
During a mission with the Scout Regiment, Moses' squad begins to take formation around a Titan via horses in order to kill it. He switches to omni-directional mobility gear with his teammates, and attempts to kill the targeted Titan.
