Loyd Lloyd

A third eye sits at the center of Loyd's forehead, and his head is otherwise entirely bald. Circular, headphone-like guards ringed by dark trim enclose each of his ears. Over the hooded white cloak that all Sternritter wear he dons a variant of their uniform. As a boy his hair was short and light with a central part, and sometime after the age of twelve a small scar appeared on his brow at the exact spot where his third eye would later form.

Loyd comes across as quiet and unsociable, preferring to skip any exchange with an enemy and start swinging at once. That impulse shows plainly when he faces Kenpachi Zaraki and triggers his Schrift on sight rather than trading a single word.

Loyd and his younger twin Royd were impossible to tell apart from the moment of birth, fooling even the doctors and their own parents. By age five the brothers grasped why: each had been unconsciously copying the other since before they were born. At twelve they found the mimicry reached to strangers too, with Loyd able to duplicate a target's powers and techniques while Royd could reproduce their memories and character. Answering Yhwach's summons, Loyd gathered with the other Sternritter and marched on the Seireitei. There he was one of three Sternritter who confronted Kenpachi Zaraki. Drawing on his ability, The Yourself, he took the captain's exact form and, by Kenpachi's account, gave him the hardest fight of the trio, only to be struck down once Kenpachi grew stronger than the copied original. Kenpachi later hauled the corpses of Loyd, Berenice Gabrielli, and Jerome Guizbatt across his shoulders and dropped them before Yhwach. Loyd's version of The Yourself reproduced an opponent's powers perfectly, yet captured their memories and personality at only seventy to eighty percent.
