Artur Braus

Artur Braus is a minor supporting character in the Japanese dark fantasy manga Attack on Titan and its anime series adaptation. He is an Eldian who lives within Paradis Island's Walls and is the father of Sasha Braus. It was his words that motivated his daughter to leave their home and join the military.
In the Japanese version, he was voiced by Hiroshi Naka in season 2. Hiroshi was replaced by Otoya Kawano in the final season. Jeremy Schwartz voices Artur in the English version for all episodes except Episode 82, in which Mike Pollock voices Artur in the his last speaking role.
==Appearance==
Artur is a man with a large and imposing, but not overweight, figure. He has shaggy brown hair, a thin goatee, and brown eyes. He often wears a stripped hat, a white t-shirt with a fur vest, and a loose tie. After the time-skip, Artur becomes much thinner, with a lighter goatee and mustache.
==Personality==
Artur is a man of rules, devoted to protecting his clan from a remoted village on the countryside of southern Wall Rose. He is a mature father figure, attempting to store food for the winter to preserve it and trying to stop his daughter from eating some of it. He also does his best to impart wisdom upon his daughter and make her understand the necessity of change. Furthermore, while he does like his clan of hunters and their way of life, he is open-minded enough to open the clan's land to Wall Maria's refugee people, whose homes were lost and ravaged by the Titans, and thus ended up sharing Dauper's forest with them. Despite most of the forest's inhabitants being unhappy with the presence of the refugees, who "steal" meat from them by hunting on their land, Artur empathizes with them and allows them to hunt, despite the fact that it ends up leaving less food for his family. He understands that the refugees have nowhere else to go, due to all of Wall Maria's regions being lost and occupied by the Titans.
Artur displays great wisdom and selflessness, as he is always seen putting others before himself and his own interests. He is ready to accept the government's offer to pay him and his people to become farmers, in order to clear the forest and plant grain to feed more people, in the feeble attempt to alleviate the food shortage crisis in Wall Rose. While he would rather stay a hunter and maintain his way of life, Artur is willing to give it all up and move on from the clan's traditions for the benefit and good of everyone, especially the starving homeless people. He becomes a farmer who breeds horses for the military and sells crop, as he believes humans are all part of the same world and therefore should work together and help each other when it is needed. 
As a staunch believer of mutualism, Artur is a very compassionate individual who is not only shown by his willingness to help the people who were forced out by Titans, but also by the fact that he and his wife adopt several children of families that were killed by Titans as well. Artur allows the orphan children to work on his farm and live in his new home, referring to them as his "family". He openly accepts Falco Grice and Gabi Braun into his home when he hears they ran away from an abusive home, and also befriended Niccolo - a Marleyan chef and prisoner of war who served as a soldier of his country - when the two of them met at Sasha's grave.
His greatest display of compassion and mercy, however, is shown when learning Gabi murdered his daughter. Instead of choosing to take revenge, Artur spares Gabi and takes the blame himself, believing that it was his responsibility for letting Sasha leave her village to enter a world where people killed one another for survival, and as a result Sasha herself ended up killing others in the process. He forgives Gabi and convinces Niccolo to let go of Falco in an attempt to break the cycle of killing and hatred in some small way, stating that it is up to the adults to stop the violence, instead of dragging children into their feuds.
==Trivia==
*According to Gabi, the accent of Artur's people from Dauper is common in Southern Marley. The overall language spoken in Paradis Island and Marley is the same, as both have Eldian as their national language, Marley having inherited it from the Eldian Empire's long rule. The ancestors of Artur's people came to Paradis from the south of the mainland.
*Artur shares the same birthday with Pastor Nick.
