If you were to meet him, or bump into him along a hallway, he would be the type to stop for a polite conversation. He's a bit of a drinker, but not a mean drunk, in that when he drinks he becomes more friendly in fact. Livius would be the kind of person who, if you came to him with a problem, whether it be professional or personal, he would sit and listen and try to give you advice.
Though some may think he's bitter because of his size, that couldn't be farther from the truth. He's gotten used to being the way he is, and now it's no longer a weakness. He is a very soft spoken person, quiet most of the time, but when he gets angry, or frustrated, his voice does raise. Not in a mean, berating tone of voice, more a bellowing and commanding voice.

Overall history: Livius was born and raised in Liverpool, England. His mother gave birth to him when she was thirty four, but did not survive the process. His father, though stricken with grief named him Livius after his own father, and did his best to raise him on his own.
Growing up with one parent was hard when you learn your mother died in childbirth, but growing up a dwarf was even harder. He had constantly been bullied, or teased by the other children because of his size, never truly being friends with anyone. At least, that was until he began to feel the magic within him. Soon enough, he was invited into Hogwarts as most children were, and that's where he met her.
First year, he was nervous as he stood around with the group of children. It must have been apparent on her face, as a soft voice called to him and asked if he was fine. He saw her. Leliana. She was a thin girl, taller than him who was coming to the school for the first time as well. And soon, the two became sorted into Hufflepuff and became fast friends.
Over the years, their friendship grew further, the bond between them greater than one he has had since. She didn't see him as a dwarf, in fact, it never even crossed her mind once seemingly. She saw him for who he was, not what he looked like. It was in their fourth year, that the two began to date, not really a surprise to those that knew them. The years went by joyfully for him, almost never leaving her side except when school ended that year.
Fast forward to the end of school altogether. The two had graduated, Leliana was set on becoming a teacher of the school, while Livius intended on following in his mother's footsteps and working for the Ministry. Their relationship didn't end after school, it continued much into their adult life. All together, the two were in a relationship for ten years, when he asked for her hand in marriage. She accepted, but maybe it was best she shouldn't have.
Two weeks before the wedding, is when tragedy struck his life and changed things for him forever. He was twenty five. Leliana had been out shopping by herself, which Livius implored her not to do. It wasn't safe lately with attacks happening on wizards. And she was attacked, in broad daylight by several dark wizards. She wasn't anyone important to them at the time, no. But they attacked and killed her as well as several others regardless.
The news got back to him, and he was heartbroken, but determined not to let it make him bitter or angry, as he knew it's not what she would have wanted. That's when his drinking truly started going a bit overboard. It's been ten years since that happened, and Livius never found another, nor attempted to. He disregarded his plans on working for the Ministry, and instead worked on being a teacher, feeling he could at least honor her this way.
