Vincent Eaton-Hayden Lloyd (born 7 February 1970), more known as Vincent Lloyd, is an Albish politician, author and economist who has been serving as Prime Minister of Albeinland since 2018 and Leader of the United Conservative Party since 2015. Before that, he served as finances secretary between 2012 and 2013 and home secretary between 2006 and 2012, and has been serving as a Member of Parliament for Hansborough since 2001.

Born in an upper-class family with aristocratic origins, Lloyd graduated in economics at the University of Ashfield in 1992, working as an financial advisor for the Palmerston Group. He first stood for parliament in the 1996 general election but ended in second place, being elected years later in 2001 at 31 years old as one of the youngest MPs in modern history. After his election, he served in various junior positions until becoming home secretary in 2006, a position which he remained for six years until being appointed as finances secretary, staying there until the conservative defeat at the 2013 general election.

During the 2013 UCP leadership election, Lloyd ended in the second place, losing to Richard Borwick by a narrow margin. However, further discontent by conservative MPs led to Lloyd challenging him in 2015, winning with a comfortable number of votes. Although unpopular at first, Lloyd became famous for his attacks against the PRL government and his attempts to destabilize it, leading to almost unanimous support among the right. In 2018, after that year's election, he was invited by Lord Owen to form a new goverment, maintaining a relatively high support from the Albish population.

Ideologically, Lloyd describes himself as a Roberite and a social conservative, supporting massive privatizations and an ample flexibilization of the Albish economic system. Although his supporters classify him as a modern and charismatic leader, Lloyd has been accused of racism, homophobia and xenophobia on previous occasions.

Early life

Vincent Lloyd was born in Hayden House at the outskirts of Castelby in February 7th 1970, being the middle brother of three siblings. His father, Jeremy Lloyd, was an Albish-Silerian architect, while his mother Annelise (née Adams) was an author and painter, with both of them having aristocratic origins from the Kingdom of Albeinland. Lloyd studied in Evon College through his entire childhood and adolescence, being known as a very intelligent, smart and charismatic person who had many friends and didn't make any trouble, having a great interest in maths, arts and philosophy. He entered the University of Ashfield in 1988 to study economics.

After graduating in 1992, Lloyd went to work in a series of banks in Castelby and Königsreh, settling as a financial advisor for the Palmerston Group in 1994. During this time, he started to met several high-profile conservative politicians, including prime ministers Richard Gresham and William Pershing, developing more interest towards politics. It was only two years later, in 1996, that he stood for parliament for Luffton, ending in second place against Rosa Duffield. He tried once again in the 2001 election for Hansborough, successfully winning against PRL incumbent William Heighton.
