The history of the Leviathan is mostly unknown; it is unclear whether it originated on Fundament or traveled there from somewhere else. According to the creature known as [[Ahsa]], Fundament was once home to a species of "proto-Worm" beings who lived in peace on the Fundament.{{Citation needed}}

According to the creature known as [[Ahsa]], Fundament was once home to a species of "proto-Worm" beings who lived in peace on the Fundament.{{Citation needed}} Over time the proto-Worms would fall victim to [[the Witness]]'s
winnowing philosophy, causing them to fight amongst themselves and slay one another in order to achieve power through the killing logic. Some of these beings were evolved into the [[Worm Gods]], while Ahsa managed to escape the carnage and left Fundament entirely. Although not outright stated, it is possible that the Leviathan is another survivor of the massacre.{{Citation needed}}

The Worm Gods would become seduced by the Witness's philosophy, causing them to fight amongst themselves and slay one another in order to achieve ascendancy through the Sword Logic. Some of these beings later became the Worm Gods, while Ahsa managed to escape and left Fundament entirely.

When the Krill sisters [[Xi Ro]], [[Sathona]], and [[Aurash]] dove into Fundament's depths in search of a secret that would prevent the Syzygy, an alignment of the gas giant's fifty-two moons that would create a global tidal wave of catastrophic proportions, the Leviathan met them. Communicating with magnetic fields, it attempted to persuade them to return to the surface and follow the way of the Traveler and the [[Light]], warning them against the seduction of the [[Darkness|Deep]], but the sisters rejected its pleas because it offered no way to end their species's suffering and avert the Syzygy.<ref name="Leviathan"/>
