Apparence
Kenny was a tall, rather thin man with a small black beard, hazel eyes and medium-length brown hair styled backwards and wearing a black suit and hat.
Personality
Rough, pragmatic, violent but methodical in his approach, Kenny is a cold-blooded man. He believes in a Darwinian order of things where the strong survive by imposing themselves on the weak. His encounter with Uli Reiss, however, shakes him to the core and he is shaken by the experience. For the first time, the balance of power was against him. But in contact with the king, a real fascination as well as a friendship develops towards him. He will not cease to covet the power of the Original Titan at his death to see if he too could share this utopian vision of the world, and will go to the end to see his dream come true.
He is also able to show some humanity, especially when he refuses to let Livai die, and when he gives her the keys to survive in the underworld. He also seems to have a certain repartee, coupled with a rather theatrical side in his way of interacting. According to his disciple, Kenny also had the annoying tendency to "forget to say the important things", such as revealing to Livaïl that they were both Ackerman.
Personal history
At some unknown point in his life, before or after he became a serial killer, Livai remembered that Kenny had felt an inexplicable rush of power and knew exactly what to do with it. In the decades before the events of the story, Ackerman was a serial killer in the capital. His preferred method was to slit his victims' throats, earning him the infamous epithet "Kenny the Ripper" after killing more than 100 members of the Special Branch. However, a few decades later, his killings ceased and the terror he inspired became an urban legend.
He was also the trainer of the young Livai who now shares the same name as him, an allusion to a familiar connection between them, but when they parted ways, he became a member of the First Division thanks to Uli.
This created a bond between them. Kenny became Uli's protector, his friend and member of the army. One of the most notable things is how he introduced himself to his new special brigade division as Kenny the Ripper, but the rest of the soldiers didn't care because, as one girl said, they had given up on killing Titans, and the only alternative left was to kill the humans.
History
Major Turning Arc
Christa Lenz had just shortly before revealed her true identity Historia Reiss began to recount her childhood in the Tactical Squad, the end of which was brought to a close by the atrocious murder committed by Kenny Ackerman a few days after the Fall of the Maria Wall.
Analepse of 845
Commander Ackerman first appeared as one of the members of the group that had taken over the farm where Historia had grown up. He grabbed her mother and asked Rhodes Reiss if Historia and her mother were related to him in any way. Rhodes Reiss denied it and Major Ackerman then slit Alma's throat the moment Alma told her biological daughter that she regretted giving birth to her.
Kenny, armed with the blood-stained knife, grabbed Historia by the head and did the same to her as he had done to her mother, but Rhodes stopped him. He witnessed the agreement between the head of the Reiss Family and his illegitimate daughter, a deal that forced the latter to assume the identity of Christa Lenz, while keeping silent about the facts in his knowledge.
Back to the present
Commander Ackerman first appeared as the leader of the group sent to retrieve Eren and Historia from Dimo Reeves. Upon arrival, he remembered Historia and noticed how much she had grown. He dragged Reeves outside under the pretext of giving him payment. After luring him into the woods, he asked Reeves if he knew who Livai Ackerman was, to which Reeves replied that everyone knew who Livai was, but he had never heard her full name. Captain Ackerman told Reeves that he had personally trained Livai, and then killed him in the same way he had killed Historia's mother. An assistant then tells him that Eren and Historia both had small knives on them, but are still captured. Kenny tells him to prepare the gear for the 3D anti-personnel maneuver, and then he says it was time for the anti-personnel team to show what they can do.
The members of the 4th Brigade of the Exploration Battalion, commanded by Livai, watched the movements of several men moving mournfully pale coffins into a car. Livai expressed unease at this, and told Nifa about an infamous Capitol Hill serial killer. She was familiar with the story, but expressed doubt that he really existed. However, Livai confirmed that he did exist and revealed that he had been raised and trained by him.
Her suspicions that this was a trap proved to be correct as Commander Ackerman appeared behind them on the roof and opened fire. Livai dodged, but Nifa was shot in the head. Two other members of the battalion remained nearby, but other teammates from the anti-personnel squad who ambushed Livai killed them instantly. Kenny then noticed Livai, noting that he had grown and launched himself into the air before aiming at Livai.
Livai then threw his sword at him and escaped. The chase ended in a District bar. Kenny entered screaming that the bad soldier of the Battalion will be killed by the nice special brigades.
He realized that no one was answering him and he wondered if Livai was there. Livai told him that he was there and a discussion ensued. He said he wanted to see Livai's brains on the floor. He approached but Livaï took a rifle from behind the counter where he was hidden and shot Kenny. Kenny fell and lay motionless on the ground.
He then got up, reassuring his worried lieutenant Traute Caven, asking if he was dead, and prepared to kill Livai for good because he was in the way of his plans.
After abandoning the mission to hunt Livai down, he gave Rhodes Reiss Historia and Eren.
After that, Kenny was seen in the basement of the Reiss chapel with Historia and Rhodes, in front of Eren who was tied up shirtless. As Rhodes explained to his illegitimate daughter, Historia, the role of the Reiss in history and the fact that Grisha Jäger had stolen the power of the Reiss and given it to Eren, Kenny reappeared and said that, even if he wanted to inject himself with the liquid that Rhodes had in his hand that could turn someone into a titan, it would be useless because only a Reiss can kill all the titans with the ultimate power that Frieda Reiss, Historia's sister, possessed before being killed by Grisha. He was finally seen freeing Eren's mouth and cutting his forehead a little bit, so that he could transform into a titan and fight Historia.
Afterwards he rejoiced to see Historia rebelling against her father and destroying the syringe of Titanic Injection.
However, this euphoria was short-lived. Rhodes having licked the serum transformed into a 120 meter titan and Kenny found himself under its breath
As he cursed Rhodes for not knowing more about the serum's use than he did, he saw Traute Caven and the rest of his team coming to warn him about the Tactical Squad. He yelled at them to get out of the way and called them idiots.
It was too late, the cave collapsed and they were crushed.
Kenny managed to get out of the cave, but was badly injured by the fire released by the titan in addition to the rocks. Disfigured, one side of his face burned, he dragged himself to a tree. He had taken Rhodes' Titanium Injection syringes but was reluctant to use them, he didn't want to miss out and become a crawling abomination like himself but he wished he could still live.
Dejected, he thought about his past, his meeting with Livaï, the one with Uli and Rhodes, the one with Traute Caven and his other teammates, the death of them in the cave.
A voice took him out of his meditation, it was Livaï. This one dismissed his subordinate who accompanied him, he wanted to speak to him alone. He pointed out to him that considering his wounds he would not leave it, narcotically Kenny showed him then his booty. He touched them with his hand, he didn't even have the strength to take them anymore. Livai asked him why he hadn't done so earlier. He answered that he didn't want to end up like the other wreck.
He wanted to seize power and live, but he also realized now that everyone needed an obsession to live, even Uri was no exception. While spitting his blood, he questioned Livaï on which was his obsession. This one did not answer but asked him what he knew about the first king of the walls and why this one did not want the survival of humanity. Kenny had no idea, he just knew that this was where the disagreement between the royal family and their family came from. Livai realized that he was part of the same family and asked him who his mother was in relation to him. Kenny almost choked with laughter, he had not guessed, he was his brother, Livaï was his nephew. The young man asked him again why one day he had dropped him, he was hardly a teenager at that time. That flowed of source, he did not have the paternal fibre says to him. On his words he put the box on his heart. It was finished, the commander Ackerman had joined his sister.
Arch of the Mahrs
Analepse of 847
In Reiner Braun's recollection, it was learned that when Annie Leonhart was in training with the 104th Training Brigade, she went to the Special Brigades headquarters and followed Kenny to find information about the owner of the Original Titan. Kenny appeared behind her. He asked her about the purpose of his tailing, to which Annie replied that her mother had told her that her biological father might be nearby, and that she hoped it was him. Kenny, seeing that she was lying, told her that he was not a father and was about to kill her when Annie kicked him in the face. A few minutes later, Annie disappeared into the sewers of the capital.
Skills and Competencies
Years ago, the captain of a day was an infamous serial killer who murdered in the capital and was able to take on a hundred members of the Special Brigades showing an exceptional battle prowess. He was also very fast as he appeared very suddenly behind Alma. He seemed to have a lot of traction within the government, as he was seen during the scene where he was talking to a member of the royal family in a professional manner and this context seemed to indicate that he was presenting himself to a higher authority than Rhodes Reiss. On top of that, he was the head of the first division of the Special Brigades, showing high-level skills as a commander. When Livai felt the possibility of facing his former teacher, he was very uncomfortable. He was also very analytical and intelligent and he was the one who had taught Livai to think in the same strategic genius as he did.

Kenny, as a member of the First Division, used three-dimensional anti-human equipment.
