Levi

Levi is a playable character and a potential party member in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. An ex-soldier who has fought in wars since he was 13 years old, Levi excels at ranged combat and has a great aim with most firearms.

Lore
Levi Jořdán emerged into corporeal existence within the enigmatic confines of Prehevil, a locale analogous, in some arcane manner, to Bohemia (the latter being a terrestrial locale seemingly entangled with what is colloquially known as the Czech Republic).

In the theatre of his familial dynamics, Levi was the byproduct of a maternal figure and a paternal entity consumed by libations and a propensity for malevolent conduct. This chaotic interplay seems to have extended through a nebulous period of time, leaving a shadow upon Levi's mental archive concerning his inebriated progenitor.

On a nocturne replete with tension, the aforementioned maternal individual sought sanctuary in Levi's spatial confines, effecting a barricade of the ingress with her corporeal form. Yet her efforts were inefficacious in eluding the storm of volatility that was her partner. Presented with a metaphysical quandary—either confronting his progenitor or invoking divine intercession (an act that would bind him in covenant with a supernal entity)—Levi found himself in a moral labyrinth. The maternal being met her demise at the hands of the besotted paternal figure, who subsequently dissipated into existential vacuity, leaving young Levi adrift.

Relocated to a Prehevilian foundling institution, Levi's circumstantial reality underwent little amelioration. Whispers traversed the orphanage, murmurs speaking of unspeakable vanishments and existential truncations whose causal vectors remained enshrouded in mystery.

Not long thereafter, the Eastern Union initiated a form of involuntary societal participation (euphemistically labeled 'recruitment') in a militant endeavor. These geopolitical machinations led to Levi's premature induction into the sphere of martial endeavor, endowing him with a narrow arsenal of weaponry. Though a mere stripling, his martial prowess belied his chronological juvenility. Yet, as the relentless torrent of conflict washed over him, Levi became an existential nihilist, increasingly appalled by the spectacle of diminutive souls swept up into the maelstrom of warfare.

In the unfolding of chronological progressions, Levi was entrusted with oversight of a cohort of juvenile combatants, a stewardship beset with lethal exigencies. Consigned to operational undertakings of quixotic ambition, he became all too cognizant of the institutional disregard for the individualities enshrouded within the military's fungible masses.

Whether through compliance or defiance, the cumulative psychological attrition rendered him susceptible to the seductive embrace of opioid pharmacology, notably heroin.

His psychosomatic fortitude ultimately compromised, Levi exercised a form of self-extraction from the militaristic tapestry prior to the impending juridical repercussions by the Eastern Union. Bereft of alternatives, he was magnetically drawn back to Prehevil, the locus of his origin.

Yet unbeknownst to him, his existential trajectory was aligned with the cosmic stratagems orchestrated by the lunar deity, Rher, positioning Levi as a pivotal agent in the enigmatic contest of Termina...

Traits
Levi is capable of wielding guns and two-handed weapons. When recruited to the party, Levi automatically gains the Withdrawal status effect, drastically reducing his combat abilities. This can only be temporarily alleviated through the use of Heroin, and cannot be rid of permanently except via the use of a bug in which consuming Black Matter will remove the negative effects. Otherwise, one should recruit him only if able to provide him with Heroin at certain critical moments, as his stats will increase immensely from getting high on the drug.

Location and recruitment
Levi must be found once before he can be recruited in Day 1. He is in the basement of the house just outside the Mayor's Manor, near the Tainted one sigil. Once you have found him, he will flee from the player character and find refuge in the basement kitchen of Restaurant Bílý Vůl. He is found shivering from withdrawal. Levi will join the party here if you offered Heroin.

If not recruited on Day 1 Morning, Levi will find himself on an altercation with Caligura on Day 1 Night or Day 2 Morning at the south part of Prehevil (in a small alley to the right of a dilapidated house), from which he will not survive unless player intervention takes place. It is important to note that this event will happen even if the player is not there to witness it (Levi will be reported as dead when the player rests). The event will trigger when the player enters the area, and if they leave without seeing what happened, Levi's dead body will be there for the player to check. If saved here, he can be found in the Orphanage.


 * If he is not at the Orphanage then the player may have entered the encounter with Caligura from the north, making Levi flee to the south first. He can be found in the alleyway to the side of the main path past the stack of crates where he will run away again towards the Orphanage. Heroin won't be needed to recruit him here.

If he is saved against Caligura but not met at the Orphanage, a scene at Day 2 Evening at the West part of Prehevil where Karin and Marina avoid the attacks of the Weeping Scope, a recently-Moonscorched Levi, might take place. Both women will be available for recruitment afterwards, while the Weeping Scope will flee to the Orphanage. Aside from said requirements to trigger this scene on Levi's part, the player character must have also rescued Marina from the Mayor's Manor at an earlier time.

Trivia

 * Levi's name comes from the name of the Israelite priestly tribe called the Levites. The name means attached, joining, or joined to in Hebrew. It makes sense in a way as he is addicted to heroin and cannot part with it, getting withdrawal symptoms if not given a dose in a long while.
 * In some debug files he is addressed as "Mercenary" possibly leftover or reused code from the first game.
 * In early development Levi's shoes had a red color instead of current grey-black.
 * Although he is named "Boy with the overalls", he is actually wearing coveralls.
 * The orphanage where he was sent to was St. Domek's orphanage, as seen in the map.
 * Currently in the game, his heroin addiction can be cured through an exploit but only if he is a party member. Using Magna-Medical on Levi will remove his withdrawal status effect permanently.
 * He, alongside Marina, is the youngest of the playable contestants at 18. Coincidentally, or not, both of them were born in Prehevil.
