"And I'm the monster who will save you all." is the thing Levi says to Duke Ravengard in response to the man's rightful distrust of a former chosen of Bhaal.
And it's a direct parallel to Gortash's "And I am the hero who will save it."
Unlike Enver, Levi never sought the role of the hero. He is very content in his role of a monster, an abomination of twisting body parts and raw anger and violence.
He is someone who shifts (through painful transmutation not unlike polymorph, but more crude, violent and allowing him to literally break his body into new shapes and forms.)
Levis is someone who, upon recollecting some of his memories, snaps and breaks his own arms (esp the right one) into clawed, sharp, deadly mess, whose jaw shifts into inhuman shape as he gets agitated, who literally makes his body break his bones and reforge them. He grows something akin to wings what looks like bare bones wrapped in moss and grass, leaves, thorns and vines. And the worst part is these wings WORK.
He is a child of god he denied and the monster said god created. Bhaal did not undo him by discarding, Jergal did not make him someone else by ressurecting.
At the end of the day a monster stays a monster. And it's this monster who saves Baldurs Gate when the heroes have failed.
