Lloyd Asplund

Lloyd Asplund is an earl of the Britannian nobility and the head of the scientific research team Camelot (キャメロット), which is responsible for the development of the elite Knightmare Frame Lancelot. Lloyd was born a sociopath and views most people as nothing more than tools. He has a tendency to mock others and is often rebuked for this behavior by Cécile Croomy, his assistant. Prior to joining the military, he attended the Imperial Colchester Institute. Lloyd's research organization, Camelot, is an irregular division of the Britannian Military that has permission from Prince Schneizel to operate outside the command structure and regulations of the regular Britannian armed forces. Rakshata refers to Lloyd as the Earl of Pudding, as pudding is his favorite food.

Spoiler

He is engaged to Milly Ashford in the first season, having agreed to the union mostly in the hope that he might obtain the designs of the Knightmare Frame Ganymede. Milly breaks off the engagement after she graduates in order to become more true to herself. Towards the conclusion of the series, he willingly joins Lelouch's new regime. He works with Nina and Cécile to create a countermeasure to F.L.E.I.J.A. and assists Sayoko during the rescue of the hostages on board the Avalon according to Lelouch's orders so they are spared from the repercussions of his actions.
