Template:Disambig notice Template:Infobox char Braun (ブラウン Buraun?) was a member of the Survey Corps and the first person killed by a Titan at the start of the series. He appeared to show little emotion and was a conditioned soldier.[1]
Appearance
Braun had messy, cheek length, blonde hair and light-green eyes. He was well built and wore the typical uniform of a member of the Survey Corps along with the trademarked green cloak.
Story
Fall of Shiganshina arc
During a mission with the Survey Corps, Braun's squad begins to take formation around a Titan in order to kill it, and soon after, he switches to Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear with his teammates. He then takes position and attempts to kill the targeted titan. He died during this mission.
Braun going in for the kill
It is implied he was eaten by a Titan due to his arm being the only thing the corps were able to bring back.
When the Survey Corps squad returned to the Shiganshina District after their failed expedition, his mother starts asking for him, and the Commander of the Survey Corps, Keith, gives her his arm which was all that remained of him. She cries and pleads with Keith, asking if his death contributed to humankind's retaliation. He denies and cries that they again did not make any progress on the recent expedition [2]
Trivia
- In the anime, his name is changed to Moses (モーゼス Mōzesu?), most likely to avoid confusion with Reiner Braun's name.
- In the English dub, Braun said he was doing it for his brothers when he was about to kill a Titan; this implies he had some brothers who may have been eaten or killed by the Titans.[1]
