Early Life

Reiner Braun was born and raised in the Liberio internment zone in Marley. He was born to an Eldian Mother and Marleyan Father. He was not allowed to meet his father as eldians were considered low-class citizens and relations between Marleyans and eldians were forbidden. Reiner decided to become a warrior so that he and his mother could live with his father.

As a Warrior candidate, Reiner was a very weak candidate and the only reason he was selected was that Marcel Schemed and protected his brother Porco and Reiner got selected and inherited the Armored Titan. Here he also meets Marcel, Annie, and Bertholdt and they are sent to a paradise island to recover the Founding Titan. After arriving at the island Marcel was attacked and eaten by Ymir.

After this event, Bertholdt transformed into the Colossal Titan Damaged Wall Maria, and started the titan invasion, and between all the chaos Annie, Bertholdt, and Reiner mixed in the crowd and later joined the Survey Corps

Abilities

Being Part of Survey Corps Reiner Braun is pretty good in using the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment and other anti-titan weapons. He also has the best hand-to-hand combat ability due to his training in the Marleyan Military.

Later After returning home he also received special Training in Arial Attack training in which he learned to parachute out of an airship onto the battlefield.

Power of the Titans

Reiner also has the power of armored Titan which gives him abilities like

Enhanced Strength: Armored Titan gives Eren immense strength evidenced by his razing through the buildings around him in the Shinganshina District.

Enhanced Speed: Armored Titan is very agile and fast as we can see by moving quickly to avoid getting shot by cannons.

Hardening: Hardening allows Reiner To harden his body part to improve the strength and resistance of that part. This allows him to harden his hands into claws.

Regeneration: This is the best and most OP power of Titan. It allows its user to quickly recover from injuries and even can grow cut limbs back.

Books Worth Reading:

Regeneration Withdrawal: These Abilities allow Reiner to stop the regeneration as it can blow his cover as a spy.

Brain Function Transfer: This is by far the most broken ability of Armored Titan as it removes the only weakness of Titan and allows Reiner to transfer his brain function to Titan and can survive direct hits on his nape.
