Levi is so proficient with vertical maneuvering equipment that everyone says he's the best at it. He demonstrated his combat prowess by incapacitating the Female Titan. By moving too quickly, Levi deprived Annie of any chance to defend herself. Entire squads, and even Eren Yeager in his Titan form, couldn't do this. Levi is so strong that even when tired, a single blow to Eren's cheek is enough to knock out all the teeth on that side.

Seeing her being pursued, Farlan and Levi fought back. When asked why they were chasing her, Isabelle showed him the bird she'd been holding the whole time and said she was simply trying to release it to the surface. That was the reason she'd been sneaking up the stairs in the first place. Seeing the two committing robberies using stolen vertical maneuvering equipment, she asked if she could join them. Levi agreed, but only if Isabelle learned cleaning first. After Isabelle mastered the vertical maneuvering equipment and the bird recovered and was released, the trio received a job offer. Their advance payment was the treatment of their friend Ian, who had already been sent to a clinic on the surface. Levi viewed this not as a deal, but as a hostage situation. Instead of offering payment as a precondition, their client sweetened the deal, promising that if they succeeded, they would be granted the right to live on the surface.

Time passed, and Kenny eventually taught Levi everything he knew. However, he didn't consider himself fit to be a father. One day, Levi started a fight, which he easily won. At that point, Kenny decided to leave the boy, satisfied that he had taught him the skills necessary for survival. After some time, Levi met Farlan. Farlan decided to test Ackerman's strength by having him fight another gang of thugs. His plan was to see Levi in ​​action before deciding whether to recruit him into his group. Farlan was surprised to see Levi defeat them all single-handedly. They soon became friends and eventually formed a gang together. After one of their gang's many robberies, Farlan was put in charge of dividing the profits from the job among his comrades. Knowing that Ian had injured his leg and would need extra money to afford medication, Farlan gave Ian a larger share than the others. Noticing this, Levi asked why he did it. Farlan's explanation was interrupted by the appearance of a young girl on their doorstep.

Levi is the son of Kushel Ackerman, who worked as a prostitute in an underground city brothel and became pregnant by an unknown client. Kenny, Kushel's older brother, tried to convince her to abandon the child. However, she refused and decided to raise her son herself. When Kenny joined the police, he sought out his sister, wanting to help her. However, it was too late—Kushel died of illness. There, he found Levi, emaciated and starving, sitting by his mother's bed. In a rare display of compassion, Kenny took Levi into his care and raised him for several years, teaching him what he knew about combat and survival. Levi also learned to harness the inner strength he possessed as a member of the Ackerman clan.

He doesn't seem to value hierarchy in general, delegating decision-making to his subordinates as much as possible. Levi knows his combat skills are on a level beyond those of almost any other living soldier. He's not arrogant, as he knows from personal experience that no human is invulnerable. Few would argue with his assertion that he alone can handle certain difficult tasks. Ackerman has proven his ability to accomplish them time and again. Levi is cruel and cold-blooded toward Titans, killing them indiscriminately with apparent indifference. However, when his subordinates were transformed into Titans by Zeke, Levi briefly wondered if they were still conscious of their actions while encased in Titan bodies. Nevertheless, he slaughtered them all. When dealing with people he considers enemies of humanity, Levi is capable of sadistic behavior. For example, when the Female Titan was captured, Levi, watching her suffer, described in detail how he intended to mutilate her human body. He also actively participated in the torture of Sanes. After defeating Zeke for the second time, he made it clear he intended to torture him for all his crimes against Paradis and the Survey Corps by impaling him with a spear. Levi displays no emotion at such moments other than bloodlust, as evidenced by the fact that he methodically slashes Zeke's legs. Sometimes, Levi loses his composure and uses threats, including violence, to force others to listen to him, even if they are members of the Survey Corps. An example of this behavior was shown when he directly ordered Historia Reiss to assume the role of queen. But when she hesitantly protests that she is unfit for the role, he immediately grabs her, lifts her off the ground, strangles her, and orders her to resist if she doesn't like it. He then drops her and yells at her to finally make a decision. However, he calms down again when Historia complies with his demands.

Levi, furthermore, openly resents the behavior and actions of those in power for their constant attempts to undermine the Survey Corps, presumably due to the criminal life he led before joining the Survey Corps. Though he rarely displays it, Levi has a sense of morality and empathy. He places great importance on preserving human life, urging his squad to use their intelligence to avoid mistakes that could cost them their lives. This is especially evident when it is revealed that all Titans were once human themselves. The thought that he has been unknowingly killing people all this time greatly disturbs him. Levi also took the loss of his original squad at the hands of Annie Leonhart very personally. Due to his dangerous profession and his personal moral compass, Levi cares deeply for the well-being of his subordinates. When ordered to retreat following the fiasco of the 57th mission, Levi was visibly distressed that so many of his soldiers had died in vain. He later risked his life in battle with Annie Leonhart, who had previously killed his entire squad, to rescue Eren from her mouth and protect Mikasa, who was blinded by her thirst for vengeance. Upon returning outside the walls, Petra's father approached him and proudly spoke of his daughter and her unwavering loyalty to the Survey Corps. Levi remained silent, too devastated by the deaths of his subordinates. He only said that the will of his comrades lives on with him and that it is this that strengthens his resolve to continue fighting. Despite being under Erwin's command, Levi acts quite independently. Many of his Titan kills were accomplished alone, without the direct cooperation of other soldiers. He usually assigns them to patrol the surrounding area. Ackerman gives orders without hesitation when necessary, but does not see himself as a leader like Erwin Smith.

Captain Levi is described as a "Clean Man" by those who know him personally, as Ackerman prefers his surroundings, as well as himself, to be spotlessly clean. He dislikes getting dirty, and has been known to wipe his own blood-stained blades while still on the battlefield. However, he will not hesitate to touch dirt if he deems it necessary. Levi is obsessed with cleanliness. Despite his passion for cleanliness, Levi is very aloof and unsociable. He rarely shows emotion, leaving a negative impression on those around him. His speech is characterized by bluntness, rudeness, and abundant insults, and his comments are often rude or inappropriate. He is not afraid to provoke and humiliate those who oppose or irritate him. His sense of humor tends toward the vulgar, offensive, and dark. All this makes him very difficult to communicate with for most people. During his life of crime in the slums before joining the Survey Corps, Levi refused to obey anyone's orders, despite trusting his comrades deeply. However, after joining, Levi developed a great deal of respect for the Survey Corps' commander-in-chief, Erwin Smith, whose demands and orders he followed without question. Levi also trusts his subordinates. However, Levi's "behavior" only applies to a select group of people he respects. At the same time, he has no problem displaying open disdain for anyone, especially those in authority. For example, during Eren's trial, Levi openly insulted the merchants, calling them "pigs," and accused the Military Police of incompetence and inability to handle Eren. And so that Erwin's plan to recruit Yeager into the Survey Corps would not fail, he had to intervene to stop the latter from being shot on the spot.

Levi has short, straight, black hair, parted to the right with the ends cut roughly; narrow, intimidating, dull gray-blue eyes with dark circles under them due to lack of sleep; and a deceptively youthful face. He is short in stature, but has well-developed muscles thanks to his frequent use of vertical maneuvering equipment. Levi typically frowns or remains expressionless, which, coupled with his extremely calm demeanor, often makes it difficult for others to tell what he's thinking. He is most often seen wearing his Survey Corps uniform, with a light gray button-down shirt underneath and his signature jabot. When going on expeditions beyond the walls, he also wears a green hooded cape with the Survey Corps emblem on the back.
