David Levi

## Pre-Apocalypse

*The following is an excerpt from David's PNDRA Refugee Application,*

David was born in West Jerusalem  14 Adar 5713, to David Levi, a World War II pilot, and Esther Levi, a veil maker. They were both London natives, but upon the establishment of Israel made aaliyah and arrived in Jerusalem days before he was born.

From kindergarten to 12th grade, Young David excelled in his classes. With his parents' support, he also participated in several sports and fell in love with rugby. Growing up during this time was not peaceful, and he felt a calling and signed up to pursue what he knew he had to do, defend Israel.

He would be sent to basic training in Batar Nitzanim, where his physical strength would be found to be more than sufficient, however, his mental strength was lacking. He was pushed to his full limits for the first time in his life. Only with prayer did he manage to pull himself back together . And as both mind and body were connected through his religion, he managed to complete his training as top graduate of his group in 5731 (1971).

His storied career of excellence carried him through, and he found himself recruited for the IDF special forces and involved in Operation Spring of Nations in 5733 (1973). His time in the IDF was coming to an end, so he enrolled at the University of Jerusalem to earn his master's degree in history. Graduating as number three in the class, he would find himself being contacted by a government agency, Mossad, in 5733 (1976). His performance in Operation Spring of Nations and his grades impressed them,and he was set to work as a field agent until his retirement in 5750 (1990).

For him and his people, the violence never stopped, and while he never considered himself rich, he had made some lucky investments and found himself with enough money to move to a farm in Eastern Kentucky.

He would make regular visits to Jerusalem, not only to satisfy Mossad but also to check in with his aging parents. Until the sickness started spreading, Mossad agents would try to extract him as a matter of national security, but they found themselves picked up by the USA's own agents and detained.

During his time in Kentucky, David had found something that made him truly happy, teaching rugby and working with Louisville's underprivileged youth. He never got married or had kids of his own, and it filled a gap for him. As the sickness first started, he would find himself staying in Louisville for weeks and weeks. Until the quarantine hit, he spent every waking second of his life trying to keep his precious kids alive and well, but slowly he lost contact with each and everyone of them.

David Levi as he got older began to suffer very severe panic attacks, which is the major reason he was moving to the woods in Kentucky. As it was the farthest away from his homeland as he could be.

He was commended by his superior officers, but the men who were lost under his command still haunt him. He hasn’t assumed a command position since.

He only claims to be a smoker, but he has also picked up heavy drinking to make it through a day to day.

## Season 0

David failed to escape the city of Louisville before December 1st, 1994 and was incinerated in the December Bombings. They will be sorely missed.

## Personality

*The following is an excerpt from David's PNDRA Refugee Application,*

A strict but caring individual David had nothing more to him than his own strict sense of self-worth as a member of the Jewish people. As he grew older, he would find himself leaning towards mentoring the younger generations and developing a soft spot for anyone that seemed to need guidance.

He can and does alter his personality to either comfort or gather information. To his kids, he might seem like a tough-love kind of father figure. Women, a suave smooth talker, and his adversaries? They should never have had the chance to learn he was there.

He is still very tough on himself, with a seemingly nonexistent sense of humor and a face like the West Wall unmoving and hard. Never one to hesitate to put himself in harm's way for the safety of others, he would act as if he knew everything was going to be okay. Always.
