Throughout the Series[]
Season 1[]
Levi and Donna attacked Ben and the other fisherman aboard the ship. He first attacked them with a narwhal horn which was wielded as a spear. He then came aboard the ship and started attacking everyone. He got hurt a couple times, but survived. He was moved into the hold, but transformed into human form and escaped. He stabbed Sean McClure and escaped into the sea.
He returns to the surface along with Donna and mermaid Katrina in order to massacre the humans and to get Ryn to return home to the sea. He puts on male clothing and arrivals in Helen's shop, where he is intrigued by all merfolk-related artifacts that Helen had collected over the years. When Donna asks Helen where Ryn is, Katrina orders him to choke Helen in order to get her to answer. He releases her when she reveals that she doesn't know where Ryn is and leaves with Katrina and Donna. The three then find Ryn with Ben in the Marine Mammal Research Center, but Levi and Katrina reveal their real plan to have Ryn killed for spending too much time on land and with humans. Ben throws salt water at them and, with Ryn and Donna, flees, leaving Levi and Katrina writhing in pain as the salt water causes them to transform.
Moments later, he and Katrina walk in a park when he picks up a red ball and gives it silently back to a young girl who asks him to give it to her. At night, he, Katrina were wandering the streets when Sheriff Dale Bishop, who decided to look for them, found them. When he sounds the alarm, Levi and Katrina attack him, only to be scared off by gunshots. Sheriff Bishop went on to immobilize and capture Levi, but after struggling to break free and causing Bishop to crash, Levi escaped. He then retreated with Katrina to Helen's shop where they acquire antique spears for their battle.
Levi manages to wound Sheriff Bishop in the leg with a spear and flees when Maddie tries to shoot him. He then confronts Ben and nearly kills him, when Ryn (who defeated Katrina in another struggle) orders him to stop. He then kneels down in front of her and acknowledges her as the new Alpha. But Xander, who wanted to get revenge on his father's death, tried to kill Levi and ended up shooting Donna when Ben tried to intervene. Levi then carries Donna to Helen's house and later leaves with Katrina when Ryn orders them to never return again.
