Loid Forger

Loid Forger (ロイド・フォージャー) is the main protagonist of the SPY x FAMILY series. He has discarded everything about his past to work for his country as an undercover spy who acts under the codename "Twilight" (〈〉). For his current mission, he is required to marry and have a child, thus he enters a marriage with Yor Briar and becomes the adoptive father of Anya Forger.

Appearance
Loid is a man of unknown age with short, disheveled blond hair, blue eyes, and light skin. His hair is often slicked backed to varying degrees, depending on the occasion. He is quite tall and has an athletic build.

He is often seen wearing a light green three-piece suit with a red tie when outside. He wears a lapel pin on his left lapel, in the shape of a dagger with the symbol of WISE.

When at home, he wears a plain white t-shirt with long black pants.

As a psychiatrist, he wears a lab coat over his shirt and tie.

Personality
As a spy, his personality is very cold and efficient for his job, doing whatever it takes to complete the mission, from joining terrorist organizations to dating his target's daughter to becoming a father. However, he is shown to have a kind personality as shown when he rescued Anya Forger, even risking his identity as a spy.

Loid's past as a powerless war orphan, feeling despair and isolation, has seemingly stuck with him into his adult years and becomes his motivation as a spy to create a world where children wouldn't have to cry. He sincerely empathizes with Yor Forger about sacrificing themselves for the sake of others and their beliefs, becoming the deciding factor for Yor's decision to marry him.

Contrasting his current personality and profession as a spy, he was an honest child and rarely lied to his parents. When he did lie to his father to trick his father into giving him pocket money to buy a soldier set, he quickly felt guilty for lying, almost confessing to his father immediately afterwards, and wishing to work for money to pay his father back.

History
Twilight has discarded everything about his past in order to work for the country of Westalis in opposition to the country of Ostania. Hence, he has no real name and his current name is merely an alias. According to his falsified background as "Loid Forger", his wife passed away two years ago and he has been raising Anya as a single father since then.

Not much is known about his previous life, not even his real name or age. It is shown that he was a war orphan when he was a child and then eventually became the spy known as Twilight. He rarely remembers memories of his childhood, no longer being able to recall his mother's face.

As a child, Loid was raised in Luwen, Eastern Westalis, living alongside his father and mother. His father was strict with a pacifistic view on war, while his mother was very loving towards him and often sang him lullabies. Their conflicting views on parenting Loid resulted in them arguing frequently with each other, much to Loid's distress.

He was good friends with three other boys, who he frequently played games with in an old army storage depot he found, giving each other army-related nicknames such as "Major", "General", and "Advisor". He desired to join the army together with his friends when they became older, wanting to "kill all those awful monsters from the east". However, his father deeply disapproved of his ambition and activities, hitting him and berating his ignorance of Ostanians and approach towards conflict.

Feeling left out due to all his friends having soldier uniforms and toy guns, he ends up lying to his father to get pocket money and buying the soldier set, despite his sense of guilt. Later on, he changes his mind about playing with his friends from guilt and leaves their hideout. Shortly after this, the Ostanian Army crossed the border and began to attack the eastern provinces of Westalis, launching a bomb at the army storage his friends used as a hideout.

That night, he breaks up with Karen, having no more use of her, after using her to get information on her father Edgar and gets the photos before him. The next day, Twilight receives a new mission. He needs to get close to Donovan Desmond, but since he only goes at social gatherings at the private school his son goes, Twilight needs to get a wife and a child, and enroll the child at the same school. As the peace between the East and West may depend on the mission, Twilight accepts. He forges his new identity of Loid Froger, a psychiatrist and gets an apartment. He then goes to an orphanage and looks for a smart kid that can pass the exam. He is recommended Anya, who then impresses him with her crossword puzzle solving, however, in reality she is a mind reader and managed to trick him to take her. While on a shopping, he notices that Anya may not be that smart, but she starts to cry, not wanting to be abandoned. Causing a scene, Loid panics and offers to buy her peanuts to calm her down.

Loid then disguises as one of the men and heads to their base. There he manages to get Anya and takes her outside, telling her to get to the police.
