Reiner Braun is a central character in the anime series Attack on Titan. He first appears in episode 1, "To You, in 2000 Years: The Fall of Shiganshina, Part 1," as a member of the 104th Training Corps.

Initially presented as a dependable and reliable soldier, Reiner is often seen as an older brother figure to his fellow recruits. He's physically strong and mentally resilient, acting as a source of encouragement and support during their training. However, this persona masks his true identity and mission.

As the series progresses, it is revealed that Reiner is the Armored Titan, one of the main antagonists responsible for the destruction of Wall Maria and the subsequent invasion of Paradis Island. This duality creates a complex character grappling with guilt, trauma, and the conflicting loyalties to his homeland and his comrades.
