Marlowe Freudenberg character guide

Marlowe Freudenberg was a recruit of Squad Klaus within the Survey Corps and former private of the Military Police Brigade stationed in Stohess District until his branch change. He was a graduate of the 104th Training Corps, though he was not from the same division as Eren Yeager.

Marlowe was a tall young man with a diamond-shaped face, black bowl-cut hair, an aquiline nose, and small, intense, black eyes. He usually wore his Military Police Brigade uniform before joining the Survey Corps and was rarely seen without a stoic and serious expression on his face.

Marlowe was a very righteous person. While most who join the Military Police Brigade do so because they want a safe position far from the danger of the Titans, Marlowe did so because he wanted "clean up" the system. His goal was to rise to the top of the organization so he could stop the pilfering of taxes and misappropriation of land. Though steadfast in his idealism, he could make moral compromises to achieve his goal, confessing a willingness to act like 'scum' in order to move up in rank. Due to his passion towards his ideals, he has often been compared to Eren Yeager.

Marlowe Freudenberg in the story: Marlowe first appears as a member of the same Military Police Brigade unit as Annie Leonhart, and is assigned to guard the Survey Corps convoy transporting Eren Yeager as it passes through Stohess District. When he questions why they need to accompany the Survey Corps through town, seeing an opportunity, his superior leaves Marlowe in charge of the mission. Frustrated by the higher ranking officers' lack of morals and duties, he explains his motivation for joining the Military Police Brigade to the other recruits.

How Marlowe Freudenberg echoes later: During the debate between Levi, Mikasa, and Eren over who should receive the Titan injection, either Erwin Smith or Armin Arlert, one of Marlowe's comrades named Floch mentions Marlowe as one of the soldiers killed by the Beast Titan's barrage of rocks. At the ceremony commemorating the Survey Corps' success, Floch speaks to Hitch about Marlowe's character. Floch praises Marlowe for his encouragement in the battle, but adds that he must have regretted ever going in the end.
