so what's the whole backstory with spitzel, lev, ruth, and judith anyways? i really wanna know about those guys :] they're all so cool

Thank you! So basically:

Lev's father moved with him from Brooklyn to Krakow after Lev's mother passed away due to an illness, and that’s where Spitzel was adopted in an attempt to make Lev feel less alone by giving him a brother. Spitzel was always the "perfect child," while Lev was a rebellious one.

(Here's a sketch of them as children bc why not)

At some point, Spitzel devours their father to gain more control over Lev, stripping him of the person he loved most and deliberately weakening him. This allows Spitzel to start playing mind games with him. (It’s worth mentioning that Lev used to hunt animals with his father, and as a child, he was attacked by a black wolf and nearly died, coincidentally developing a deep fear of dogs/wolves.)

Unaware of the truth, Lev often reports seeing apparitions at night of the monstrous hound that Spitzel transforms into—yet another one of Spitzel’s psychological tricks to exploit his trauma. Because of this, Spitzel insists that his brother is insane and needs therapy. Lev believes him and starts taking medication he shouldn’t, falling into a drugged, psychotic state, which gives Spitzel complete control over him.

In short, Spitzel is simply destroying Lev’s life for his own amusement.

Judith and Ruth:

They have been best friends since childhood. They grew up together in the local community, with Ruth being a German immigrant. Judith always had a deep passion for photography, inspired by her grandmother. Unlike Ruth, who was always popular among both girls and boys, Judith was insignificant.

Ruth is obsessed with beauty and fashion, often sneaking out to meet multiple lovers—a secret only Judith knows. If the community ever found out, it would be a complete scandal.

Since childhood, Ruth has been infatuated with Spitzel. She believes that marrying him will finally make her family proud of her. (She has abusive parents who constantly belittle her, making her feel inadequate and flawed. Because of this, Ruth has always felt it was her duty to please everyone, become the perfect woman, and secure a successful husband.) To get closer to Spitzel, she starts dating Lev. Their relationship is highly unpredictable, as Lev has to deal with Ruth’s emotional crises.

On the other hand, when Spitzel discovers that Judith has uncovered his true nature through one of her photographs, she becomes yet another piece in his game. He formally requests her hand in marriage from her father. Although Spitzel is mysterious and often seen as "odd," he is one of the most influential men in the community (as he is the best at literally everything he does). Without hesitation, Judith’s father arranges the marriage. Of course, Spitzel feels nothing for her—he only wants to toy with her and ruin her life before she can interfere with his plans.

After this, Ruth grows resentful of Judith, believing she is deliberately stealing Spitzel from her. She becomes a toxic friend and spirals into alcoholism. In desperation, she starts an affair with Spitzel behind Lev’s back. Eventually, she discovers that Spitzel is an entity, abandons her former beliefs, and begins worshiping him as her one true god, aiding him in destroying others. However, Spitzel merely uses Ruth—he feels nothing for her.

In short, Judith must try to prove to everyone that Spitzel is not human and save her life and her friends' lives, while Spitzel plays mind games with everyone.
