Personal history

Lloyd Fassbender was born in 1998, before any of the Corp War were even a thing. He lived his younger days in Berlin in the safety of the tall Corp Towers, seeing how his parents were managers with EBM corporation. Being an only child, his parents could dote on him and send him to the best schools. There his teachers pushed him to build a career in STEM fields. His intellect and brilliance would surely bring him success and thus success to the German people. It didn't take long at all for him to enter University and complete his BSc degree in chemistry. Of course, it didn't end there, for he eventually completed his master's degree and went on to get a PhD in nuclear chemistry. He studied engineering on top of that and got enrolled by IE that saw potential in the young adult.
 
In 2025, Lloyd met his girlfriend who would one day be his wife, Katja Brenner. It didn't take long for the two to become enamored with each other. Two years later, they married in Berlin, surrounded by family and friends. They have three children and are still as much in love nowadays as they were back then.
 
In the more recent years, Lloyd moved to Night City for a joint project between IE and Arasaka. In reality, the goal of his presence there is to gain precious intel that might be able to prevent the downfall of the failing International Electric Corporation. If he discovers something new in his field in the meantime, then that is all the better. He refused to bring Katja and the kids to Night City, deeming the place too dangerous for his loved ones. He'll often go and see them on the weekends or during holidays, though he still misses them dearly.
 
He now works with a woman named Fukuyama Momoko, a Japanese bodyguard under Arasaka. He quite enjoys her company, for she is as quiet and calm as he is and isn't judgmental of his passion for research.

Education

Received the best of the best when it came to education. Has a PhD in Nuclear Chemistry and a master's degree in Molecular Engineering. When it comes to science, Lloyd is one of the greatest minds the future has to offer.

Employment

Currently employed by International Electric, from Berlin. He is working on a joint project with Arasaka and thus is also under them for the time being.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Has received a few Nobel prizes in chemistry over the years. Though if you ask him, his greatest achievement is giving everything his family could dream of, be it safety, food and everything else that is difficult to come by in the Time of the Red.

Mental Trauma

Insomnia

Intellectual Characteristics

A smart man that desires nothing more but to understand the inner workings of everything he comes in contact with. He is aware that this can bring him in dodgy situations, though his partnership with Ink has come in handy in the last years for that. Can sometimes become so engrossed in research that he won't see time fly by.

Morality & Philosophy

Believes that Megacorps have perhaps gone too far, and things should be toned down a bit. He keeps those thoughts for himself, of course, but will try to help those in needs from the shadows. He thinks of his family first and won't put himself in danger for no reasons.

Lloyd is motivated by an insatiable thirst for knowledge. He simply must know what makes things work as they do. This is what pushed him to pursue a career in STEM. One of his greatest motivations is also the safety of his loved ones. He'd do absolutely anything and everything to ensure that they remain safe and in good health.

Contacts & Relations

Thinks of Momoko-san as a good friend in a city that has more of a cutthroat approach to things. Is also on good terms with a Fixer that goes by the name of Beauty, who gently nudges him to places where he can help those in need. Also in good terms with his Arasaka employer, Toyonobu-sama. Though he doesn't see him all that much these days.

Religious Views

Though his family is Christian, he is Agnostic. He believes that a higher form of consciousness might very well have created the world, though he does not believe that there is an old man in the sky that would have left people to suffer so.

Social Aptitude

Seems cold and distant for those that first meet him, though that is because he is a quiet and reserved man. He prefers books and a calm place to social gatherings. He knows how to properly discuss things with people, to keep things civil, but is out of his league when it comes to outings in the City.

Mannerisms

A man well versed in discussion; he will always use a posh kind of language. He made a habit of always using the proper word, no matter if the person listening in might understand or not.

Hobbies & Pets

He quite enjoys skiing and cooking food. Those hobbies remind him of his home and of his family. Otherwise, he enjoys researching and reading about the new discoveries in various fields of science.
