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 a group of soldiers who previously served in the Marleyan army but decided to join Zeke Yeager in order to free the Eldians.

Qualities
The members of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers seem to possess a severe grudge against Marley, in part because of the empire's aggressive policy of expansion and the take over of their native lands. Before their introduction to Zeke Yeager, the volunteers generally had a low morale due to the adversity in opposing such a powerful nation. However, after meeting Zeke the soldiers became more hopeful. The Anti-Marleyan Volunteers hold a strong 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. After meeting Zeke Yeager, their spirits were renewed, and the two sides joined forces.

Marley arc
During the early stages of the Marley Mid-East War, the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers betray the first survey fleet sent to Paradis Island, and make contact with the Eldians living there. In their leader's stead, they make a deal to help the Survey Corps with covert diplomacy, technological transfer, and intelligence gathering in exchange for granting Zeke 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 arrest the Volunteers at gunpoint; apologizing for their rough treatment but asserting that Paradis is not yet willing to trust Zeke and his followers completely.
