History
Growing up in London, Lloyd had big aspirations in school, but somewhere along the way, he got a copy of Robert Goddard's book, A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes, and he never looked back. Scorned by the rest of the scientific community, the book captured Lloyd's imagination and he's been fixated on it since. His personal investigation into craft that could reach extreme altitudes has kept him from advancing far in his field, despite his exemplary skills. He's made his living as a laboratory assistant while studying his passion on the side.
He met Curtis Blakely in a dusty corner of the London Library one evening as they were reaching for the same book. The two struck up a conversation, and Lloyd found someone that wasn't immediately dismissive of his theories, even if that someone seemed a bit off... Regardless, the two stayed in touch, and Curtis began revealing some of the most fascinating things Lloyd had ever seen or heard. Recently, Curtis became quite agitated that something terrible had befallen his friends on the other side of the world, and he shared even more with Lloyd. Lloyd took this information and decided that it was time to see first-hand if what Curtis had been telling him held merit. His life as a laboratory assistant meant nothing if it was true, and if it wasn't, well, it's not like his career was going great places anyway. He sent some introductory telegrams and scheduled transport to rendezvous with a group of like-minded folks in Australia...
