His early years were spent learning the value of hard work and community, often helping his father at the forge or delivering his mother’s finely crafted garments to the villagers. From a young age, Liv showed an unusual empathy and an ability to mediate disputes among his peers, traits that would later define his leadership style.

Whether it's assisting in the fields during harvest season, visiting the sick, or personally overseeing the rebuilding of homes after a storm, Liv is always present, hands-on, and approachable. He is known for his open-door policy, where any villager, regardless of status, can come to him with concerns or ideas. One of Liv's greatest achievements has been fostering a sense of unity and cooperation among the villagers.

One of Liv’s closest relationships is with Captain Rezos Raaz, the head of Harrow's Edge Guards.
