Leviathous Ripley

The son of reputable scientist and one time bringer of doom Marcus Ripley, Leviathous in many ways takes after his father, for he is not a traditional brith, but a clone. His purpose was to be raised as an assassin whose orders would come from Marcus Ripley and he alone. His daily life as a child was training and education in all facets of history, magic, and all manor of combats. Most of the training was implemented by the arcane projection of what he was told was his mother, though in actual fact was a mere projection of his fathers deceased wife. He called her mother, but she was known as Helix to Marcus. It is believed that a great many influential moments in the decades proceeding Levi's 12th birthday, especially those involving advanced assassination techniques were carried out by the boy, ordered by Marcus Ripley.

The crew of the Allura first encountered the man in the aftermath of the Battle of Moonstone. His father had aided the crew of them in the extermination of the vampire lords the Arkens, who had been leveraging the doctor with the body of Levi, which was being held in stasis, which prevented the vampirism they had infected him with from fully taking over. Realizing Marcus Ripley may have aided their enemies in the past, it was clear his son was payment for his services. The Doctor provided the crew with a cure to the disease begging that they use a dose on his boy before being taken to Blackpool Prison for his crimes.

The crew took the body of Levi aboard the Allura where the cure to his vampirism was provided by the ship's doctor, Nan. The process was slow but eventually effective, though it would be sometime before the man would regain consciousness. And so the time ticked by while the crew of the Allura made their way across the world, and Ripley slept.

It would not be until the Alllura arrived in Scholantis that Levi would wake. During a feast provided by King Orin Sark of the City of Stairs, an assassination attempt took place, the assassins targeting the King as well as his long time ally Duke Valdasloff Val Vallorick of the Allenko. The crew were aided surprisingly by an assassin of their own, Levi appearing in the streets to help stop the attackers.

It was many weeks before he even had an inclination as to who he was, and more heavily who his father was. Headaches and hallucinations proved concerning, but his abilities as a fighter and the insights slowly revealing themselves with the return of his memory was of value to the Crew of the Allura, though his behaviour could erratic and even dangerous at times.

The unveiling of a Ripley Lab in the Silk Sand Stretch has the causes of his headache explained in the form of his father. It seemed the boy was created not just as a combat proficient copy, but a safeguard against death. Housed in his mind was that of Marcus Ripley, revealed only with the activation of hundreds of robotic bodies across Askaria. One now seeming to house the man once more, the others spread as his eyes and ears, and on occasion his voice-box. Levi was free from the second mind in his head, but not from his past.

His allegiance is clearly to his allies on the Allura, but there have been times when his mind has reverted to uncompleted orders from his time as an assassin. One incident saw the man aim his sights upon Holland Reed who, like him, was revealed to be a clone, Levi's orders to eliminate him forever incomplete.
