Commander Levet

## Information

Levet was the commander of a division of Astoran Knights called "The 35th", who assisted Mythic in raiding the Catacombs until Mythic revealed himself to be a dragon sympathizer. He wore Elite Knight Armor, and had many years of military experience.

He appeared extremely infrequently, making his most recent debut in Mid Canon.

## History

### Pre-Canon History

Levet was previously the commander of a detachment of Astoran soldiers (Named "The 91st"), which was stationed at a village near Astora's rural borders. At one point, a dragon attacked the village, destroying it and all its residents, along with The 91st.

Levet was the only person among his unit and the village to have survived, while the dragon, after causing the damage, fled the scene and escaped. Levet was then re-stationed to The 35th as its commander.

### Astora

Commander Levet first appeared when Mythic, under the guise of a human named Mithrill, requested assistance from the Astoran army to invade the catacombs. The king obliged, providing the detachment of knights dubbed The 35th.

Levet commanded this division, which was described as consisting of “300 Knights, 150 Elite Knights, 50 Royal Knights, 10 Captains, and 1 Commander”, though was later implied to have several battlefield clerics as well.

### Tomb of Giants Raid

As Mythic came into the catacombs, he and Levet strategized on positioning for soldiers, then Mythic went in to scout the way. Being in his human form, he- along with an ally, Slatious- were beaten back and injured by Kaiser. Mythic decided he would need all the help he could get, and so would bring Marina in. He asked the soldiers to promise not to freak out, to which Levet replied *“Sir. We’re soldiers. Soldiers don’t ''freak out''.”* Mythic called Marina out, and seeing she was a Crossbreed, the soldiers all immediately drew their weapons.

When Mythic attempted to convince them to put their weapons away, Levet said that dragons were the sworn enemies of Astora. Slatious promptly revealed that he himself was draconic. They didn’t take well to this either, pointing weapons at him as well. Mythic admitted to being a Dragon sympathizer, and Levet proclaimed Mythic and Slatious were traitors, ordering his men to stand by to kill them all.

Mythic gave a brief speech about how the dragons weren’t bad and how the real villains were the gods all along. Levet retorted: *“Have you ever seen the damage caused by Dragons? Have you ever seen your whole unit, and the village it was stationed at, be wiped out in 40 seconds flat!? I used to command the 91st. It fell victim to an unprovoked attack by a Dragon and I never even got revenge on it. I was re-stationed to the 35th, one of 3 groups that consisted entirely of survivors from raids by Dragons. All my men here share that same hate for Dragons because they took everything. Now we're taking it back.”*

Mythic and Slatious, through their combined efforts, convinced Levet to leave Marina and Slatious alone, as they had no control over being born in the circumstances they were. Marina, however, refused to leave Mythic, reminding him that he’d promised not to do exactly what he was doing ever again. Mythic made a plan, and got Slatious and Marina to quickly fly him out of the cave, albeit with a few scratches from the arrows of the knights that fired immediately when they took off.

Levet set up camp in the catacombs, and one of his scouts saw Antrok’s party exiting, and reported it to Levet. This never had any consequence, however.

### Battle of Anor Londo

During the Battle of Anor Londo, Levet and the 35th were seen backing Gwyndolin’s forces alongside the Silver Knights. Levet set guards at the entrances to the Painting Room, and sat uneasily through the negotiations. Following the conclusion of said negotiations, the company followed the Silver Knights to maintain peace, then returned to Astora.

## Armor and Equipment

Commander Levet wore standard-issue Elite Knight Armor with paler cloth than usual, as well as an insignia scorched onto his left shoulder plate denoting his rank (Commander). He also notably wore a pale brown scarf around his neck. He wielded an Astora Straight Sword and a Crest Shield, along with carrying throwing knives and an Estus Flask.

## Personality and Traits

Levet was described as calm and confident, as well as having a tactically-oriented mindset. He often referred to the mission leader for instructions which he relayed to his men in great detail, though he was also easily capable of creating and carrying out plans and orders himself. He was extremely loyal to Astora and those in positions of power above him.

The commander also had a deep hatred of Dragons, to the point of attacking his ex-superiors for sympathizing with them (He did so on the grounds of treason, however).
