Appearances[]
Pre-Castle[]
Lloyd was born in Ireland and developed a keen passion for martial arts during his youth. This later led to mercenary military recruitment, when he became subject to a new type of close-quarters combat training in a facility in New Asia - the nature of his enlistment classified. During training, Lloyd was introduced to his now preferred weapon of choice, the sword. His blade and footwork were unparalleled among recruits and soon gained him a reputation, with soldiers sharing tales of a lone swordsman who erupt from darkness and vanish as suddenly as he appeared. If not for the trail of severed bodies he'd be seen as nothing more but a ghost story.
Lloyd's prowess quickly gained attention of foreign forces and he eventually found himself under the command of The General, who was determined the final spot on the Elite Team had been filled. Officially speaking Lloyd was hired, although in reality one could argue that he was captured. Initially, Lloyd had no plans to remain part of the squad longer than required, the young swordsman would have deserted at first opportunity if not for the unexpected shared bond with his new teammates.[1]
Castle III Part B[]
Lloyd, trapped on the over side of the crack.
Lloyd was in Etrius' room talking to Etrius and Beecher, seemingly bitter and uncaring. Lloyd later walked onto the helicopter with his katana. Upon arrival at the Third Castle, Lloyd takes up rear guard with Boomer, amd they all proceed to the Altar Room.
Castle III Part C[]
In the Altar Room, Lloyd was standing near Dr Romanov, Beecher, and Boomer. He looks at the Doc as he starts translating the runes on the wall. Lloyd then heard a gunshot, but said nothing as Beecher went to investigate. Hearing Beecher yelling at him, and pulled his katana out on the General. The General stops dead and questions Lloyd's courage. Lloyd says nothing, reading the situation. As all the chamber doors slammed shut, he reluctantly lowered his sword. Lloyd snaps around at the sound of a death, and a Being drops down to him and the General shoots it, the bullet passing mere inches in front of Lloyd's face. Lloyd glares at him strangely, before going to fight.
Lloyd sees creatures coming for him behind and jumps over them, slicing through to with deadly accuracy. He lands on the floor with the sword in the ground and swipes another one in the throat, before snarling and charging the oncoming creatures.
As Beecher jumps across the chasm, Lloyd slides to a stop, realising he cannot get across, and thousands of creatures rise up behind him. The ceiling collapses and Lloyd is left behind in the Altar Room.
Castle III Part D (mentioned only)[]
Beecher mentions "What about Lloyd and Etrius?" to the General, after escaping the altar room with him along with Boomer and the remaining soldiers. The General simply asks Beecher "tell me you don't wanna go in there again" with a further comment on Lloyd. Saying that Lloyd has been in tricky situations before, he can out of this one.
Lloyd covered in blood
Castle Repercussions A[]
Ray wakes up to see a body in front of him, which is an Evolved. In the background, there is eerie laughter and a drawn out voice saying "L-l-l-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-y-y-d." Ray doesn't seem to notice it.
As Ray gets up a figure slams him into the floor and he runs for his life. He slows down by a rupture in the wall and takes his pistol out, only to hear a really sharp sound. He looks up to see Lloyd, who coughs up blood and drags his sword across the floor. Ray feels the threat and raises his gun as 'Lloyd' walks forward, footsteps heavy, eyes glowing, armour clinking. Ray feels the air going colder in degrees and raises his gun, warning 'Lloyd' to stay away. Ray pulls the trigger and expects Lloyd to hit the floor. Instead, Lloyd snaps his head back and speaks without moving his mouth. Just as Lloyd is about to crush Ray's mind, Ray falls backwards through the hole. Lloyd remains standing for a few second, before seeming to split into two and disappear.
Castle Repercussions B (mentioned only)[]
Jason is on the other side of the door, and he is firing shots at what sounds to be Beings. However, there is a pause and Jason says "No, no!" before a sharp sound is heard, and the body hits the floor. This could lead the fact Lloyd killed Jason, seeing as he is the only member of the Elite Team with a sword. Plisskin is about to be killed by two Beings when a wierd sound fills the air and all the Beings stop. from the central tower where the Altar Room is, a demonic voice says, "L-l-l-o-o-y-y-d-d" in a drawn out voice. the tower then jolts violently, as if someone is breaking out. the Evils run. If Lloyd killed Jason, it may be Etrius consumed by the power of the Orb (and somehow having the authority of commanding someone) ordering Lloyd to stop. Evidence suggests that all the Evils flee.
Castle Repercussions D1 (brief flashbacks)[]
Lloyd appeared in Boomer's flashback when he was shown to be stuck on the other side.
Castle Repercussions D2 (brief flashbacks/mentioned only)[]
Boomer is talking about his team and how dire the situation seems, and he mentions 'Lloyd pulling arms', recalling Lloyd pulling his katana out on the General.
