Anti-Marleyan Volunteers

"Our native lands were snatched up by Marley and we were conscripted as soldiers. We were on our way to losing any will to oppose such a great power. Until...he guided us...."

- Yelena to Hange Zoë and Levi Ackerman

The Anti-Marleyan Volunteers (反マーレ義勇兵) are soldiers who previously served in Marleyan army but decided to join Zeke Yeager in order to free Eldians.

Qualities
The members of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers seem to possess a powerful grudge against Marley, in part fueled by the empire's aggressive policy of expansion. Before their introduction to Zeke Yeager, the volunteers generally had a low morale, due to the adversity in opposing the great power. After meeting Zeke however, the members have become more hopeful. The Anti-Marleyan Volunteers hold a powerful devotion towards their leader, with Yelena even comparing him to a God.

History
The Anti-Marleyan Volunteers started off as a loose collection of rebels composed of people from different nationalities that have seen their homeland being conquered by Marley. After being forced afterwards to join the Marleyan forces and to fight for the country that oppressed them, they grouped together to try to take down Marley and secure their freedom. As stated by Yelena, they initially had very little success and lost morale over time. One day during an attack, Zeke Yeager saved them from certain annihilation. Seeing this as a possible omen, the Volunteers subsequently learned that Zeke was an Eldian and forced under Marley to serve them as well. With their spirits renewed, the two sides agreed to work together and joined forces.

After his return to Marley from the Paradis Island Operation and during the early stages of the Marley Mid-East War, Zeke notified the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers that Paradis Island would be seeking retribution against the nation and would be valuable allies. Due to Zeke's concerns of Paradis seeking vengeance on him and his wartime duties to Marley, Yelena and Onyankopon agreed to go in his stead and volunteered to serve aboard the first survey ship sent to the island. Zeke sent with them a list of requirements that Paradis must fulfill before he would be able to officially join them.

Marley arc
After making contact with the Eldians on Paradis Island, they made a deal to help the Survey Corps with covert diplomacy, technological transfer, and intelligence gathering in exchange for granting Zeke Yeager and his followers amnesty on the Island.

The Anti-Marleyan Volunteers would continue to aid the Survey Corps playing a crucial role in the Battle of Liberio. Yelena would infiltrate the Marleyan ranks to incapacitate two of Marley's Warriors while Onyankopon and others would pilot an airship to ensure the Survey Corps can escape.

After returning to Paradis, the Volunteers turn over a stock of Titan serums they managed to steal from Marley to the Garrison. After receiving the serums, Dot Pixis has his soldiers capture the Volunteers, revealing that Paradis is not yet willing to trust Zeke and his followers.
