Levi

Levi is a playable character and a potential party member in Fear & Hunger: Termina.

Lore
Levi was born in Prehevil, located in Bohemia (which is the area where the Czech Republic is located in, in the real world).

Levi was sired by a drunken father and given birth to by a woman who was in an abusive relationship with the mentioned drunkard. It seems to have gone on for a long while, considering Levi didn't have that much fond memories of the drunkard in question.

One night though, after a heated argument between the two parental figures, the mother rushed into Levi's room, shut the door and held it there with all her might. It did little good to save her from the drunkard's wrath. Levi could either at this point, stand up to his father or pray to a God (praying to said God will make him have a pact with them for the rest of his life). She would die by the drunkard's hands, and the drunkard would continue to waste away, unable to care for the young Levi now.

He was sent to the Prehevil orphanage. However, it didn't do Levi any much better considering the staff there treated the kids awfully and there were rumors circulating around the place on the occasional disappearance of orphans, leaving no trace on why they disappeared.

He didn't stay there for long as the Eastern Union began 'recruiting' (conscription is more likely the answer), every able-bodied person to fight for the motherland, no matter their age. It essentially made Levi a child soldier, as he was only 13 at that time. He would specialize in either handguns, rifles, or trenchguns.

Levi was an exceptional and capable soldier, despite his age. However, he started to become bitter and nihilistic as he kept on seeing kids his age and younger being dragged into the war and dying as cannon fodder the longer the war dragged on.

As time went on, he was eventually given his own squadron of child soldiers that he was in charge of. He was given a mission that was basically suicidal and has little chance of success, as the upper echelons of the military didn't seem to think that their soldiers were humans with their own individuality. Just faceless men seen as expendable bodies.

Levi would eventually grow tired of this cruel method of sending soldiers to their deaths just to stop the enemy and it seems the morale was cracking.

In either choice of fulfilling this mission or not doing the mission, it took a toll on Levi's already diminishing psyche. It was at this point that Levi became addicted to opioids, eventually becoming addicted to the drug, mostly heroin, and having a dependence on such a drug.

Levi could not stand for this anymore and wanted to desert, and he had to leave before the Eastern Union could punish him and court-martial him. Since he had nowhere left to go, he went back to the only place he knew that he called home: Prehevil.

However, little did he know that he will play a part in a greater scheme by the Moon god, Rher, as one of Termina's contestants...

Location and Recruitment
Levi must be found once before he can be recruited. He's in the basement near the Tainted one sigil. Once you've found him he'll be in the Prehevil City, inside the restaurant kitchen of the Restaurant Belyy Vol. He is found shivering from withdrawal. Levi will join your party if you offer him heroin. Recruit him only if you are able to provide him with heroin at certain critical moments because he's an addict to the drug but his stats will increase immensely from getting high on the drug.

Trivia

 * Levi's name comes from the name of the Israelite priestly tribe called the Levi. The name means attached, joining, or joined to in Hebrew.
 * Though another inspiration for the name could be from Levi Ackerman, from the Attack on Titan manga and anime series, considering both are soldiers (though one deserted and the other one is still in the Survey Corps.) and they look similar in a sense.
 * In some debug files he is addressed as "Mercenary" possibly leftover or reused code from the first game.
 * Levi's intro mentions children dissapearing from the orphanage he was in, which could potentially mean that the Pocketcat (or a newer incarnation of him) is still around kidnapping children. It could be something else that is yet to be shown however.
 * Logically speaking, one could assume that he may possess a Dominating soul, similar to D'arce as they both partook in wars or that he might possess the Tormented Soul because of the horrors of the war he has been through and seen, to the point that he becomes addicted to heroin as a form of coping with his PTSD. Ingame however, he has an Endless Soul, proving these theories false. This could be just a leftover from the original game, as Levi reuses data from Cahara as a base. It is yet to be confirmed.
