Annie Leonheart is another member of the warrior unit. His other friends from the 104th corps include: Eren, Jean, Connie, Mikasa, Sasha, and Armin.

Background: Reiner was born in a nation known as Marley, in one of the Eldian Internment Zones. He was the illegitimate child of an Eldian woman and a Marleyan man. Relationships between Marleyans and Eldians were strictly forbidden, so he was never allowed to see his father. His mother persuaded him to become a warrior candidate so he could inherit one of the Nine Titans. If Reiner could succeed in this, his family would become honorary Marleyans, which would allow him to reunite with his father. Reiner ended up being chosen as a Titan Shifter, becoming the holder of the Armored Titan. Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, and Marcel were sent to infiltrate Paradis. On the day they infiltrated, Marcel apologized and revealed that Reiner was never meant to be chosen as a Warrior as Marcel influences the army's decision. This crushed Reiner's confidence right before Marcel was consumed by a Pure Titan, sacrificing himself. The warrior unit then breached Wall Maria in their Titan forms and let Titans into the Shiganshina District. Now, five years later, the Warrior Unit has infiltrated the Survey Corps and has been searching for the Founding Titan while enacting espionage. Since then, Reiner has had to kill one of their friends from the 104th Training Corps, Marco to keep from being dicovered causing Reiner's personality and memories to splinter further.
