The family consisted of the father - Raymond, mother - Ilona and his older brother Maurice. Unfortunately, Maurice perished a few years before Levi was born. In 1885, the family fled from Europe to the promise land. They moved to San Antonio, Texas. It was difficult for everyone. Nobody to turn to and being neglected as immigrants. Levi doesn't remember most of it. He was mostly home-schooled by his mother and father until the age 8. The Central Catholic High School became his second home. His mother worked as assistance to the Justice of the Peace and his father continued what he did in his home, firearms and gunsmithing.

His relationship with his parents was wonderful, he grew up in a loving family and was taught how to read and write from a young age. He was clever, silent but watchful, he had difficulties making friends at his early age. At times he would study the guitar and how to play it and during his time while he traveled from 18 until 21 when he arrived in New Alexandria, he would often play at a few saloons during evenings for extra money on the side. However, on a cool autumn night after school, back when he was 16, he saw a gallery with a beautiful painting that caught his eye. The Battle of San Jacinto was the one that caught his eye. The beauty of colors and vibrance, different techniques and tools applied to the creation of the masterpiece amazed him. Through the years he began acquiring more knowledge and interest about art, going to different art classes, meeting fellow people and even beginning painting himself. He always carries around a journal and his sketchbook, where he notes or sketches down different ideas, notes or memories. When he was 17, he was confident that he would go and study art.

They've had a great relationship where their humor and manners are similar. When they moved to Texas, the father opened a small gunsmith store where he found success and his second home, many evenings after school Levi would sit in his shop and watch or learn himself how to disassemble, clean, fix and customize all different kind of weapons. From revolvers and rifles to carbines and shotguns. Bullets, their intricacies and components. He knew the art very well. His luck ran short with bows, he refuses to use that weapon. Levi has taken the outer side from his father and the inner from his mother. At age 9, his mother got sick and died from tuberculosis when he was 10. It took a great toll on Levi and his father. The continued to support each other but with heavy sorrow. When he turned 18, he got gifted a revolver, specifically Colt New Model 1892, with an ebony grip and inside a small obsidian shard inside the wood. That was the year he decided with his father that he will venture and explore what the world brings him.

    Present Life 


    After finally arriving in St. Denis by boat in late May, his current life has been full of adventures and experiences.

    For some time before finding steady employment, Levi worked in the sugar fields outside of St. Denis, selling sugar to get by. His fortunes changed when he was hired by Owen Yeske to work security for The Overwatch. It was during this time that he met Opal, a woman who instantly caught his eye. Over time, their bond deepened, and they eventually moved in together. Now happily married, Levi considers Opal the most important part of his life. Their relationship has been a source of love, happiness, and stability, with the two of them inseparable since they first met. With savings from his work, Levi purchased a home in Hagen Orchards, where he and his wife have settled down, taking the time to renovate the house and make it their own. In the meanwhile, Levi already began his career with the New Alexandria Sheriff's Department, starting as a recruit and now serving as a full-fledged deputy.
