In Lev’s story, actor Ian Alexander saw many parallels to his own life: his religious upbringing, the rejection he suffered from his parents, how he shaved his head as an act of rebellion. Lev looks at his sister, then up at Abby-his head shaved, brow furrowed, mouth agape-unsure of whether he should cut Abby down, because her people have long been at war with his people, battling for control over Seattle in a postapocalyptic world ravaged by infection. His voice is sharp, quick, high-pitched, and full of concern as he calls out his sister’s name, vaulting over a stone barricade with the ease of a 13-year-old boy, bow drawn, arrow nocked. He is swift and calculated, flitting between the trees in the dark like a spirit, or maybe even a small wild animal, to stay hidden and save his sister from a religious cult they’ve so desperately tried to escape from.Ībby-the antihero and divisive focus of the last half of the game-has been strung up by the neck and is within seconds of losing her life when she hears Lev for the first time. There is nothing subtle about Lev’s introduction. Before you meet Lev in The Last Of Us Part II, you see his arrow pierce the cheek of a man who’s about to strike Lev's sister Yara with a hammer.
