Nehunius Levithan, Ingvild Leviathan's father. He, after finding out he had a child in the human world after a one-night stand, he disappeared. He did not want anything to do with a hybrid—to him personally, it was the greatest shame he could create, so instead of being around her—around them—he left for the Underworld.

He had no idea if his child would live long or if she would die because most hybrids would be killed in one way or another after being discovered. Especially one that was born with innate powers or Sacred Gears.

One day he was contacted by the woman he impregnated, which surprised him, but before he could disconnect the magic circle, she told him that their daughter had fallen asleep and wouldn't wake up. This confused him even further, so out of curiosity, he went back to the human world and found that she had contracted the rare disease that devils contracted.

Nehunius Leviathan was shocked more than anything. So far in the Underworld's history, there hadn't been a case of a hybrid contracting the disease, so he told the mother that he would take her to the Underworld to have her treated.

In his mind, he thought that it would be easier to treat her because she was a hybrid. The man also told the woman that he had no idea when he would be able to bring her back—so in reality, Ingvild's mother may have waited till her dying days for her daughter to return.

However, after he brought her to the Underworld and hired several daughters, they came to the same conclusion—that they couldn't cure her like many others. After he heard that, Nehunius left Ingvild in the care of the other Leviathans, and slowly over the years, she was passed around until she came into contact with the current Four Great Satans of the Underworld.

Zekram Bael and other old devils were aware of her, but since Zekram had the most influence, he entrusted Ingvild to the new Satans, and that's how she ended up with Aaron Toole after a hundred years of sleeping.

Presently, Nehunius Leviathan had become interested in his daughter—even after he found out she had woken up, he held no interest in her, but after finding out that she had inherited the clan's trait [Sea Serpent of the End] and had a Sacred Gear that could rival the original 13 Longinus, his interest was reignited.

But after multiple attempts at getting in contact with her, he gave up—that is, until he joined the Khaos Order for the sole purpose of getting her. Over the years, Nehunius only cared for himself; as a descendant of the original Leviathan, he was desperate to keep their bloodline alive.

The original Levithan, after being revived, also became interested in Ingvild, so once she found out that he had joined the Khaos Order, they began to work together. Originally, she was disappointed in him as he was much, much weaker than she would have liked, but she was also pleased since he had some connections in the Underworld, even if he had mostly stayed in the shadows.

Their first attempt at kidnapping Ingvild came when she had a small tour during the Christmas holidays; however, they were prevented by Aaron Toole's shadow soldiers and the Sitri peerage, who had accompanied her as their guards per Aaron's request.

After that, both the original Levithan and Nehunius decided to turn this into a full operation to obtain Ingvild and gain her powers. Nehunius wanted to steal her clan trait, as he had researched it for a long time and never inherited it. The original Levithan wanted her Sacred Gear; if paired with her mastery over their clan trait, she would become invincible.

Nehunius also wanted to control Ingvild so that he could profit off her talent and use her corpse to keep making money. They would resurrect her and control her body after their operation was successful, but they wanted to be meticulous about it since they were against the Middleman.
