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 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. After his dad's disappearance during the Ostanian raid of his hometown, he felt even more guilty about his lie and vowed to tell his father the truth when he would return.

Abilities and Skills
Twilight has been trained to be a spy for at least ten years amount of time. His style of fighting seems to be very much on the pragmatic side of combat, using everything in his environment to his advantage.

Intelligence: Twilight's greatest weapon is his intelligence and observation, given his line of work, by using flour to stop armed men from shooting and remembering various secret ciphers to decipher his next missions. He is also able to remember the individual names of over 200 penguins, simply by skimming over a list and their dietary habits, as well as remembering Yor from several potential wife candidates having even remembered enough to know her life's history, He also remembered all contents of the Ostanian Intelligence manual word-for-word, easily seeing through Yuri's cover story.

Even as a child, he showed a level of ingenuity in the war games he played with his friends, putting together a bucket trap and a rubber band gun to quickly turnaround a situation where his side was losing.

Disguise: Twilight is also known as a master of disguise, being able to seamlessly pass off as other people who have different body types and characteristics even down to their voices.

Speed: He is fast enough to take down multiple people without much trouble, albeit using flour as a smokescreen.

Senses: Twilight is extremely aware of his surroundings, being able to find Anya easily and was able to tell when he is being watched by the faculty members of a prestigious academy. He can also spot listening devices very easily.

Strength: Twilight has a good degree of strength being able to gracefully pull an obese child stuck in a gutter with just one arm over his head and land him on his feet.

Endurance: He is durable enough to take a car crash and still being fine enough to go to a party, albeit with bleeding and confusing his mission with Yor's agreement.

Trained Combative: Twilight is an extremely well-trained spy able to dispatch a group of armed thugs by himself.

Expert Marksman: Twilight is a very good marksman being able to shoot 3 men while fighting off 3 others with his hand.

Various Tactical Skills: Twilight has also mastered various other skills required by his job, including lockpicking, basic forgery, lip reading, bomb defusing, and military dog training. He can also do basic household chores, including cooking (implied to be quite well) and sewing.

Yor Forger
Loid Forger's wife who he married as part of Operation Strix. The two of them agree to get married as it benefits both of them in the long run, while keeping the actual reasons from each other. Although married, they don't share room nor bed.

Loid, being a great spy, tries to keep his emotions out of his work as to not get attached to her while treating her as normal husband. However, he noticably lowers his guard around her on multiple occassions, being shy when asked to kiss her (despite his experiences with many women as a spy) and able to sleep comfortably on her lap (despite part of it was due to being knocked out initially). In one particular occassion during Anya's entrance interview to Eden Academy, although Loid started to lose his cool when Murdoch Swan verbally offending Anya, it was Murdoch's offending Yor that broke Loid to almost punching the professor. Fiona also noticed that Loid, despite being master of fake smiles, leaks tiny bit of genuine emotion when praising Yor as his wife and Anya's mother.

Anya Forger
Loid Forger's daughter whom he adopted to attend Eden Academy. He is often disappointed by her performance at school and wishes she would spend more time studying and less time watching cartoons.

Although he initially views her as a nuisance and replaceable, he soon becomes protective of her when reminded of his goal as a spy, and at the very least attempted to treats her as normal father. In one particular occassion during Anya's entrance interview to Eden Academy, Loid was visibly irritated when Murdoch Swan verbally offending Anya. Loid also starts to be disheartened for failing to understand her in multiple occassions.

Bond Forger
Loid treated Bond as part of the Forger family, often taking him to a walk. He also displays patience and care despite Bond acting out of obedience.

Fiona Frost
Fiona Frost, aka Nightfall, is an agent from WISE and was Twilight's former trainee. She is madly in love with Twilight and believes that she should be the perfect role as Mrs. Forger in place of Yor. Twilight is unaware of her true intentions, and only sees her as a fellow agent. Loid also sees her as bad candidate for Anya's mother, due to her overly-strict upbringing.

Franky Franklin
One of Loid's close co-worker in his spy job, Franky often helps with various chores, including taking care of Anya or Bond when both Loid and Yor have to leave home. In most occassions, however, Franky does not help for free.

Trivia

 * The lapel pin on Loid's clothes is actually his organization's symbol.
 * Twilight is very popular in his organization, having many other WISE agents be enamored to see Twilight in the flesh and to see him in action, even rushing to the castle upon hearing his name. Some agents even wanted his autograph.
 * Twilight prefers to choose names for his personas which starts with "L" or "R", including "Loid", "Robert", "Lionel", "Lawrence", "Roland". Note that in Japanese, the sound for "r" and "l" are both pronounced the same and written as "r".
 * His fake last name, Forger, is a nod toward the "forged family" situation he is playing a part of. In the tennis tournament, Nightfall chose their last name as Foney, as the "phony couple" they were.
 * Loid's name was originally translated as Lloyd until chapter 10.
 * The name Twain Foney he used in the tennis tournament is derived from his agent codename "Twilight" (same for Nightfall's alias Nafalia). In Japanese, he used the name "Garesso" (ガレッソ) which is also a derivation of his Japanese codename, "Tasogare".
 * According to Loid's character page, he wears black underwear.
 * His past shares similarities with Yor's as she also lost her parents to the war (the only differences is that Yor has a sibling)
 * Loid's chair, featured on the cover of the first volume, is a Le corbusier LC2.
