Lloyd lives on the outskirts of Iselia with his foster father, the dwarf blacksmith, Dirk. He attends school in Iselia, where his friends and peers reside. Lloyd is lethargic and inattentive in class, often leading to him being punished by his teacher, Raine Sage. His best friends are Genis Sage and Collete Brunel (along with others he meets during the journey of world regeneration), and he also has a large pet canine by the name of Noishe. Lloyd is very close to Colette, and wishes to gain strength to protect her. Lloyd wants to find a way to save Sylvarant, and later Tethe'alla, without needless sacrifice; due to these views, he has been tagged as an idealist. After events early in the game, Lloyd accompanies Colette on her journey to regenerate the world.
