Loyd Lloyd (〝
Appearance[]
Loyd is a tall and rather slender individual. His head is completely bald, and features a third eye at the center of his forehead. Each of his ears is encased by a circular, headphone-like covering which is surrounded by a dark-colored trim.[2] His attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, including the order's signature hooded-cloak.[3]
During his childhood, Loyd had short, light colored hair with centrally-parted bangs. Sometime after the age of 12, both brothers gained a small scar on their forehead, exactly where their third eye would later be placed.[4]
Personality[]
Loyd appeared to be a stoic individual, not one to engage in conversation with his enemies, opting instead to engage in battle with them straight away, as shown when he activated his Schrift when he came face-to-face with Kenpachi Zaraki.[5]
History[]
From birth, Loyd and his younger brother, Royd Lloyd, were indistinguishable from one another, even to the medical staff who delivered them and their own parents. By the age of 5, the brothers realized the reason behind them being perfectly identical; they had both unconsciously begun to imitate each other before they were even born. When they were 12 years old, they found they could not only imitate one another, but other people as well. While they could both imitate the appearances of others, only Loyd could replicate their powers and techniques, while Royd could instead copy their memories and personality.[4]
Plot[]
The Thousand-Year Blood War[]
Upon receiving the orders of Yhwach, Loyd and the other Sternritter gather at the Gate of the Sun before traveling to the Seireitei to participate in the conquest of Soul Society.[6]
Once there, he and the other Sternritter create pillars of blue flames prior to engaging the Shinigami in battle.[7] Shortly afterwards, Loyd is one of three Sternritter who confront 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki during the invasion's initial stages. However, according to Kenpachi's account, despite presenting the most difficulty after using his ability to assume the captain's likeness, he is inevitably cut down after Kenpachi became stronger than his imitation. Later, Kenpachi carries the corpses of Loyd, Berenice Gabrielli, and Jerome Guizbatt atop his shoulders before unceremoniously dropping them in front of Yhwach.[1]
Powers & Abilities[]
The Yourself (
Reishi Manipulation: As a Quincy, he primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere and combines it with his own spiritual energy to form weapons.[8] He has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi, such as Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.[9]
Great Spiritual Power: Loyd's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami.[10]
Weakness[]
The Yourself[]
Power Inferiority/Surpassability: While The Yourself can present an opponent with significant difficulty, Loyd's power is still inferior to the original's since, according to 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, the power of the imitation can be surpassed if the original becomes stronger than they were when they were first copied.[1]

Trivia[]
- A flashback shows that the Lloyd brothers have had their copying abilities since before they were even born.[4] This contradicts a statement made by Askin Nakk Le Vaar that Pernida Parnkgjas and Gerard Valkyrie are the "only" Sternritter who had powers before meeting Yhwach, which led to rumors that Pernida and Gerard are pieces of the Soul King.[11]
Klub Outside Trivia[]
- According to Q&A #549 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", both Loyd and Royd can copy someone else's powers and memories through The Yourself. However, in the case of Loyd he can only copy about 70%-80% of the memories.[12]
