Armin Arlert

Born in Shiganshina, Armin always had a curiosity to see the world beyond the Walls. He had a book owned by his grandfather that described the outside world and was always fascinated about the things he could discover, his dream was to see the Ocean.
His parents were executed by the Military Police for attempting to escape the Walls. Left with his grandfather which later was among the civilians who were sent on a suicide mission outside the Walls, for population reduction, by trying to reclaim the lands lost after the fall of Wall Maria from the Titans.
With no family left, Armin moved into a settlement with Eren and Mikasa until they turned twelve, and were able to join the Military.
After many situations, he joined the Survey Corps and later became an elite member. A very analytical person, that thinks deeply about situations, always plans ahead and has a good judgement.
