Nothing is known of Lloyd's background, although he appears to be a worker at Manzanita Post.
Events of Red Dead Redemption[]
Lloyd can commonly be found around east and north parts of Blackwater, usually around the bank, which he might also enter. However, he has been known to work at Manzanita Post. Lloyd can be found cleaning the fur sheets or helping around the General Store. At night, he will play violin by the campsite or lay to rest on one of the beds in the tent.
Lloyd can also be found at a camp in the wilderness in West Elizabeth. Upon approaching he will fire a warning shot and tell Marston to leave. If Marston advances to Lloyd further he will turn hostile and shoot the player whilst sending his dog to attack the player. Upon killing or hogtying him the player can loot his chest, which will contain some decent money, along with a random ammo type.
Events of Undead Nightmare[]
In Undead Nightmare, Lloyd can be found defending the settlement of Plainview, where he is on top of one of the oil derricks. If Plainview is saved and Lloyd survives, he will sit with Charlie Bengle by the shack.
Lloyd can also be seen during a random encounter in which he is found in the wilderness sitting at a camp. The area is littered with bones, but Lloyd will invite the player over and begin telling stories, soon revealing he had to kill his brother and, unable to get provisions in any other way, eat his corpse. If the player does not already have one, searching the area will reveal a treasure map or, if the treasure map has already been obtained, ammunition. However, searching the area will cause Lloyd to turn hostile, exclaiming that the player is robbing him.

It all started after the plague hit town, you know. My brother comes home shot up real bad. Says he don't want them red-eyed demons to get his immortal soul. He said he wanted me to do it. You know? To kill him. I just put the pillow over his face. But the thing is you see, I was real hungry. I couldn't 'xactly go outside to the store, so I cooked 'im up in a stew and I ate him. He tasted damn good.

Trivia[]
In Undead Nightmare, Lloyd mentions that he has a brother. However, during the events of the infection, Lloyd killed and ate him.
It is interesting to note that neither him nor Charlie Bengle ever appear at Plainview in the base game.
It appears that at some point, Lloyd was intended to be a Missing Person during the Undead Nightmare. His elimination from the list may be a result of his character trait: since he has no friends or family left, there would be no one to notice he was missing.
Lloyd has the same surname as Red Dead Redemption 2 character Kieran Duffy, but they share no apparent relation. He also has the same surname as Roscoe Duffy, but they also don't seem to share any relation.
Ironically he doesn't want the player sniffing around his camp in the base game, but is entirely okay with it in Undead Nightmare.

Despite not being one of the Missing Persons rescued during the Undead Nightmare, this official shot shows Lloyd being rescued by Marston.
As further proof Lloyd was intended as a Missing Person, as his unused missing poster is found embedded on the Undead Nightmare game disc.
