ABOUT
The eternal keeper of an archaic lighthouse on Aspyre.
As much of a part of the island as its jutting rock and dunegrass. As much of a part of the tower itself as its beacon.
For decades Lev has served solemn duty as the keeper of an old lighthouse. The tower, simultaneously serving as his home, stands on Aspyre - the furthest reaches of the Eastern Isles, called home for the inhabitants of Silvermouth. They respect the lighthouse keeper and do not bother him for they too depend on him.
Its beacon of steady flame and whaleoil marks her treacherous coastline and guides vessels along for their safe passage. It is the sole beacon in miles, and marks the edge of the further world. Lev takes care of the beacon - nurturing the fire and mounting its manual reflectors during hazardous weather for a brighter flamee, and taking care of the tower itself.
Despite the invasion of the Vinnsk navy does not budge from his position. He has survived many more navies, flags and banners on Aspyre- Lev will weather this one. Originally from Ryvlen but otherwise not much is known about him. Keeps to himself.

An honest man, but never cruelly so and despises those who are. Doesn’t forgive things that aren’t his to forgive but believes in second chances and trusts what’s in front of him. Believes in redemption. Will treat a bad man right if they treat him right -turning a questionable blind eye- and otherwise gives as good as he gets. Not ignorant, but selfishly uninterested in the bigger picture of things that do not pertain to him. Through the slow and disconnected passage of his life, small by design, Lev has become unconcerned with the world and her politics. Ultimately sympathetic but detached.
Claimed to love the loneliness so he couldn’t be hurt by it anymore, the root of it ultimately resignation. Not adverse to company - quite the opposite. Undemanding and (for)giving in personal connection, but feels all the same. The sole survivor of a generation, outlived the family and friends he sat and sailed and dined with.
Ask him and he tells half-truths about his life, unwilling to attract attention to his house and hearth when unsure about who he's talking to. Otherwise patient to a fault and mostly quiet. Prefers listening over speaking. Decidedly calm and thoroughly unmovable, perhaps infuriatingly so. Not unkind and surprisingly humorous. Pragmatic and self sufficient entirely. Disciplined and a hard worker, raised frugal and austere without any real desire for material luxury or power and status otherwise (and even now is not intimidated by it).

- Blue tattoos along the curve of his cheekbones.
- Two earrings. His right ear has a dark shiny obsidian earring with carvings similar to his tattoos. The left ear has a brown earring with the same carving made of wood.
