== Character history == | |||
Leavis, in [[2008]], works as a [[:wp:maître d'|maître d']] at the [[Jousters|Jousters Gentlemen Club]], being prominently featured in only two mission cutscenes during which he serves as the first person whom [[Johnny Klebitz]] meets whenever he enters the club. Leavis' sophisticated British speech and choice of profession serving the rich is met with disdain by Johnny, who views him as outdated and subversive.<ref name="Politics">'''Leavis:''' "I think you should leave, sir, before I call the police."<br>'''Johnny:''' "'I think you should leave, sir, before I...' Dude, it's the twenty-first century. Let me tell you something...You've got a job wiping rich pricks' asses, and for some reason you seem a little pleased with yourself.", ("[[Politics]]").</ref> Johnny initial encounter with Leavis and his criticism of his lifestyle leads Leavis to attempt turning him away, until Johnny clarifies that he wishes to see [[Thomas Stubbs|Thomas Stubbs III]], to which point Leavis warms up to Johnny and leads him to Stubbs. In their second and final encounter, Johnny engages with Leavis in a brief discussion about whether their lifestyles bring them happiness, and the two resolve that one can be content in their own way.<ref name="OffRoute">'''Johnny:''' ..."Hey, let me ask you something... Do you really enjoy life?"<br>'''Leavis:''' "I don't really know what you mean, sir."<br>'''Johnny:''' "I mean, does serving all these rich morons, you know... smell of money and all that stuff, you know, does that make you happy?"<br>'''Leavis:''' "Yes, sir, something like that. And tell me, sir, are you happy? I mean, has giving the man the, err, finger, really satisfied some inner urge within you, sir?"<br>'''Johnny:''' "Well, I think what I've learned is that there's always a man, dude. He just wears a different uniform."<br>'''Leavis:''' "As you say, sir."...("[[Off Route]]").</ref> | |||

{{ | ==Trivia== | ||
*Leavis's name is a play on the two words '''"Leave Us"'''. This is ironic, considering that a maître d'is supposed to welcome over people, not send them away. | |||
