Lloyd Asplund

Lloyd is a British nobleman and holds the title of Earl. He is a physicist and inventor. His greatest achievement is the development of the elite Knightmare (humanoid fighting machine) "Lancelot." His assistant, Cecile Croomey, worked alongside him on the project. He is an Earl, but is very passionate about research and keeps his status private.
Lloyd headed the Camelot research division. Prince Schneizel granted him permission to operate outside the regular British army so that he could freely develop new technologies.

Lloyd is a self-proclaimed sociopath. He is completely immersed in science and devotes all his time to it. In matters unrelated to research, he can be indifferent or even rude. He is also prone to ridicule others.
Although Lloyd sometimes views people as tools or "machine parts" (for example, he viewed Suzaku Kururugi as precisely that—a component of the Lancelot), deep down he is capable of caring for those closest to him. At the same time, he sincerely believes that humanity's greatest flaw is the fragility of human hearts and relationships. Despite his outward calm, in critical situations (for example, when the Lancelot is in danger of being damaged or taken hostage), he can panic.

A tall, very thin man with lavender hair and grayish-blue eyes. He usually wears a green turtleneck, a lab coat over his shirt, and large glasses that obscure most of his face. He often smiles, though it's usually fake.
