The Mogul Who Always Made the Deal: T.T. Levitt was the suave and sophisticated head of Titan Records, a powerful music executive whose business dealings brought him into the orbit of Sunset Studios and the production of Angel Assassin 2. Confident, wealthy, and accustomed to getting what he wanted, T.T. treated personal relationships much as he treated negotiations: persistence, leverage, and timing could eventually overcome almost any resistance.

His arrival in Los Angeles reunited him with Renee Merteuil, a woman he had romanced more than twenty years earlier during a Mediterranean cruise. Their two-week affair had ended abruptly when Renee discovered that T.T. had been engaged to another woman the entire time. The betrayal left her deeply resentful, and she wanted nothing to do with him when they met again. T.T., however, immediately resumed pursuing her and insisted that his feelings had never disappeared.

Their renewed connection was complicated by the romance between their children. T.T.’s son, Malcolm Harris, had become involved with Renee’s daughter, Sierra. While Malcolm and Sierra appeared serious about one another, T.T. and Renee were forced to confront their own unresolved history. Renee resisted him at first but eventually agreed to dinner, only for T.T.’s girlfriend, Angela Warner, to arrive at his door. Humiliated, Renee accused him of repeating the same deception he had committed decades earlier. T.T. claimed that he had tried to end the relationship with Angela and professed his love for Renee.

Angela retaliated by sleeping with Malcolm. Benji Rydell arranged for Sierra to discover them together, destroying the young couple’s relationship and driving Sierra into Benji’s arms. Furious that Malcolm had hurt her daughter, Renee gave T.T. an ultimatum: remove Malcolm from Sierra’s life or lose any chance of being with her. T.T. complied by threatening to destroy Malcolm’s struggling record label unless his son left Los Angeles. Malcolm departed, demonstrating that T.T.’s love for Renee outweighed his willingness to respect his son’s independence.

T.T. also had a mysterious connection to Kyle Fenwick. After Kyle was released from prison, he summoned T.T. to a private meeting and revealed his desire for revenge against Stephanie Callahan and David Jennings. T.T. warned Kyle not to do anything reckless, although the warning did little to prevent Kyle from pursuing the people he blamed for his imprisonment.

Despite the betrayals and manipulation between them, T.T. eventually succeeded in winning Renee back. The two married and later returned to Los Angeles together. Their marriage represented the culmination of a relationship that had begun with deception, survived decades of bitterness, and resumed only after T.T. proved willing to rearrange the lives of everyone around them.

T.T.’s relationship with Renee ultimately drew him into the most devastating moment of her life. He was with her when they found Sierra after Benji had killed her. T.T. remained at Renee’s side as she realized her daughter was dead, witnessing firsthand the destruction caused by the volatile relationship he and Renee had once tried to control.

The loss of Sierra permanently changed Renee, and T.T.’s presence during the aftermath deepened the bond between them. Whatever manipulation had marked their earlier romance, he became a source of support during her grief. By the time they eventually married, their relationship was no longer simply a rekindled affair from decades earlier; it had survived the murder of Renee’s daughter and the collapse of the future she had imagined for her.
