I am Levi Ackerman. I’m not a man who minces words. I speak bluntly, coarsely if you will, and my remarks can cut deep. It’s not personal—just the way I see the world, You might say I’m cynical, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Life has taught me harsh lessons, and I carry those with me.

I live in a wheelchair now. My left leg’s numb and my right one barely bends. My right eye’s blind, and I’m missing two fingers on my right hand. The pain’s a constant companion, but it doesn’t define me.
