Steam, James Lloyd

ジェームス・ロイド・スチム

Ray's idealistic grandfather. He was the original creator of the Steamball, which he successfully developed alongside his son Edward. A clash of opinions with Edward caused friction between them. While Edward viewed science as a tool for power, Lloyd simply wanted to use it to aid people. They each formed distinct visions for their ultimate invention, the Steam Castle. It is later revealed that Lloyd intended the Steam Castle to function as a kind of flying amusement park, but Eddy dismissed the idea, calling it a "fairy tale vision." Instead, Edward constructed the Steam Castle as a flying military fortress.
