In Levi's hometown 'Venturini' is the common surname given to orphans. Levi isn't an orphan by misfortune but by choice; his parents gave him up when he was little more than 10, and the local orphanage was kind enough to raise him for another five years before the village demanded he be cast out entirely. See, Levi has an unusual connection to the sea and when he's scared monsters crawl up out of the deep to help him. Levi has no control over this ability; the only way to manage the massive creature that follows him around is to try and stay calm no matter what. The kraken is an enormous animal and gentle only when handling Levi. It appears to understand him intrinsically, no matter what language he's speaking, but it's quick to violence and quicker to murder. Unfortunately Levi cannot simply go inland to avoid his problems; if he gets too far away from the sea he sickens rapidly and would probably die if he was not brought back to shore. So he moves about quietly and tries never to get excited or afraid in a staggeringly huge world that frightens him often. He's mindful of his strange eyes (one alarmingly black, one strangely thin yellow) and consciously wears his hair over his pale eye.
The best thing that has ever happened to Levi is Ellerbee. He ran into the other man at a harbor, where Levi was loitering trying to figure out what to do next and Bee had come ashore on Nyiri's behalf. Levi sees Bee violently grabbed by a pair of thugs hoping to blackmail Nyiri with his adopted son and gets scared and sooner than he can try to take even breaths and find help a dozen tentacles rise out of the nearby sea to crush the blackmailers. It was ugly and bloody and as the monster pulled their bodies down to the depth Levi tried not to panic. Bee stared at him, more startled than scared, and before Levi even knew what was happening Bee was grabbing his hand and dragging him back to the Buzzard's Bazaar. Nyiri was initially reluctant to have another kid on board but when the ship was attached by pirates en route to their next destination Levi's strange kraken friend ripped the boat asunder. Nyiri quickly changed his tune and gave Levi a permanent berth on the ship. Levi doesn't do many pirate things but he has a head for numbers and helps Bee manage the money and inventory.
