Character
Lloyd uses skill and logic to make up for what he lacks in knowledge. He is generally idealistic, and tries to do what he believes is best for the worlds of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. Early in the game, Lloyd makes very rash decisions regardless of what consequences his actions may have, which he later realizes and repents for. Kratos compares him to Mithos, saying the only difference between them is that Lloyd is capable of acknowledging his own mistakes.

Family
During the beginning of the game we learn that Lloyd is orphan, raised by a Dwarven blacksmith by the name of Dirk. He finds finds out that his mother, Anna, was murdered by the Desians because she was protecting a special Exsphere that they wanted. Lloyd begins to think his real father also suffered the same fate. Later, after Colette had been treated for the Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium, he makes a shocking discovery: His real father is Kratos Aurion!
