Story[]
Background[]
The man was born on July 21st, presumably in Stohess District. He would eventually open up his own small bar/saloon.
Royal Government arc[]
The Bar Owner was working during a normal day in his business, until out of nowhere, Levi Ackerman came storming into his bar, shocking everyone inside with the Bar Owner nervously welcoming Levi to his establishment. Suddenly, Kenny Ackerman came rushing into the bar claiming to take down the “rat” hiding there, only making the Bar Owner more nervous. Levi, while hiding behind the bar has a conversation with Kenny, while the Bar Owner and everyone else stay out of it. The man is frightened even more when Kenny suddenly throws a chair to Levi, which comes crashing into a wall with numerous bottles on it; (but the man’s reaction wasn’t shown in the anime, however.) Levi eventually grabs a gun belonging to the Bar Owner and shoots Kenny with it, buying some time to escape. He throws the gun into the hands of the Bar Owner, thanking the man of having possibly saved his life. Levi ten escape through a window.
The Bar Owner is later seen nervously breaking down with one of his waiters having to comfort him.
Trivia[]
- In the manga, he lives in Stohess District, where his bar is located. In the anime, he lives in Trost District, where the bar's location was moved. This change was caused by various narrative changes done in the anime version for the Royal Government arc.
- In the manga version, Kenny and his squad attack Squad Levi after both group leave Trost and enter Wall Sheena through Stohess in the east. The attack only happens after the Survey Corps are officially disbanded and condemned as rebels, traitors, and criminals by the law, after the murders of Dimo Reeves and a few underlings. Kenny and his subordinate are sent by Rod Reiss and the government to dispose of Levi for being a threat. The reason why Kenny cheerfully shouts to the bar patrons how the MP has come to exterminate the rebels, is due to the fact the public already knows they are criminals.
- In the anime version, the Royal Government is less subtle and resorts to violence immediately, without first declaring the Scouts traitors to the public, although they were already despised for the destructive raid on Stohess. Kenny is immediately sent by Rod to assault the Scouts at Trost, on the same day as the Reeves Company were following Kenny's own orders, much to the surprise of the rest of the Royal Assembly, who were not informed about such plan and only learn about it from a message from Rod himself. This makes Kenny's announcement to exterminate the Scouts in the bar odd, as at that point they were not declared traitors by to the public and Dimo Reeves is still alive, and is only later accused of helping the Scouts to hold Eren for their own personal gain.
