Levitation Cascabel-Gardner is a seventh-generation member of the Cascabel-Gardner family. He works for the family business, the Cascabel-Gardner Catering Cooperative. His friends call him Levi.
Appearance
Levi is a young man in his early 20s with light brown skin. Half of his scalp is buzzed, and on the other half his hair is grown out into long braids that trail down his shoulders. His facecast is a younger Lukas Sabbat. He wears a cape that is reminiscent of Cascabel's poncho, but longer in the back.[1]
Personality
During his debut, Dre describes Levi as a "young idiot" and Austin says he has "a little young shithead" to him, similar to Twilight Mirage characters like Echo Reverie.
He's really proud of being a descendant of two ancient heroes. He usually refers to them simply as his "grandfathers" instead of his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfathers; when he does list all the "great"s, he has to count them on his fingers. Levi is also eager to show off the cool moves he can do with his Pile Bunker to Eclectic.[1]
History and Involvement

Spoiler warning! This section contains major spoilers for PALISADE 42: A Mechanical Whine Pt. 4. Tread carefully! |
Levi was born and raised in the Twilight Mirage. He works for the family catering business, the Cascabel-Gardner Catering Cooperative. It's analogous to the various family businesses in Japan that are 800 or more years old, except if one of those businesses was founded by famous ancient samurai heroes.
He meets the crew of the Blue Channel shortly after Palisade becomes part of the Quire system. Gucci Garantine hires the Cascabel-Gardner Catering Cooperative to deliver a "gift" of food to the Blue Channel, and Levi delivers the order in a space semi truck. He is greeted by Eclectic Opposition and Kalvin Brnine when he arrives, and asks them if he can sign up as a new recruit.[1]
Possessions
As the Giantslayer Scout, Levi has a tier III armament that only he can wield: the Pile Bunker, a pneumatic compressor strapped to his arm that releases pneumatic energy to fire forward like a lance or pile driver when Levi punches.[1]
