One day, Kenny Ackerman, Kuchel's older brother, came to the city to see her only to find that she was dead. There, he found a young and squalid Levi sitting in front of his mother's bed. In a rare showing of compassion, Kenny decided to take care of him. He raised Levi as well as he could: teaching him knife skills, how to get along with people, and violent behavior. Levi also learned to use his own inner power that he possessed as a member of the Ackermann family. Time passed and eventually, Kenny taught Levi everything he knew; however, he did not consider himself as a good father figure for his nephew. One day, in the subterranean city, Levi started a fight which he won easily. At that moment, Kenny decided to leave him behind. Before he joined the Scouts, Levi's friends included Isabel and Furlan, who were close friends from his life of thievery in the Underground. After being caught and co-erced into joining the scouts, Levi and his friends were sent on an expedition, where Isabel and Furlan were tragically killed by a Titan. After this, Levi decided to fully devote himself to the Scout Regiment's cause.
