This article is about theThe Blazing Blade boss. For theFates boss, seeLloyd (Fates).

Lloyd Reed (Japanese:ロイド・リーダスLloyd Reedus) was a member of theBlack Fang, the eldest son of its commanderBrendan Reed, and one of the eliteFour Fangs of the organization. Along with his brother and fellow Four FangLinus, Lloyd was tasked with the elimination of theLycian lordsEliwood,Hector, andLyn for their continued interference against the plans ofNergal.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

Tasked with the elimination of Eliwood, Hector and Lyn along with the other Four Fangs, Lloyd and Linus were the first to encounter their group, near the Lycia/Bern border. Depending on the cumulative levels of the player'sLords at the time, Lloyd either confronted them and was defeated with Linus departing to report to headquarters, or Lloyd himself left to file the report while Linus remained behind. If the former case, after his defeat he let the group go and resolved to find the answers to the Black Fang's descent into madness himself, but was killed byLimstella instead.

If the latter case, following Linus's death at Limstella's hands (which he believed to be the work of Eliwood), he led the last remnants of the Black Fang in defending theShrine of Seals from Eliwood's army, but failed and was killed.

In either case, following his death Lloyd was transformed into amorph byNergal and used against Eliwood's army again in their final confrontation.

Lloyd is the calmer and more level-headed of the two Reed brothers. Though wary ofSonia's influence on his father and the Fang as a whole, he was nonetheless resolved to remain behind with them so as to try to learn the truth of the matter for himself. Following Linus's death, he became depressed and fatalistic, wishing for nothing more than to join his brother in death.

Trivia

Lloyd's (left) and Karel's (right) Swordmaster sprites

• Instead of using the normal Swordmaster battle sprite, as with most other characters of that class inFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade (such as Karel, pictured), Lloyd receives his own unique battle sprite, designed to better match his appearance in his official artwork.
• InCog of Destiny, Lloyd's weapon was changed from a Runesword in the Japanese version to a Light Brand in the Western version. However, Nils's augury for the chapter ("I sense a dire foe in the battle ahead. The weapon he wields is cursed. A sword that steals life energies and feeds them to its wielder.") was not changed to reflect this.
