Lodi is a time-traveling character kidnapped from the 1960s and transported across centuries as part of an unknown agenda. He serves as the player's primary contact in Kepler and brings a contemporary, grounded perspective that contrasts with immortal Guardians. Lodi's 'regular guy' background introduces new narrative and lore elements to Destiny 2 and positions him as an anomaly within the game's cast. Actor Brian Villalobos portrays Lodi and has immersed himself in Destiny 2, streaming on Twitch. Villalobos is a newcomer to the game and initially lacked deep familiarity with the franchise.
Destiny 2 often uses expansions to introduce new characters and build out their stories. With The Edge of Fate, the first chapter of the new story arc Bungie calls the Fate Saga, the developer introduced a very new, very different kind of character, named Lodi. Your main point of contact in the expansion's destination, Kepler, Lodi has a deep, strange backstory that introduces a whole lot of new elements to the game's story and lore.
Lodi, it turns out, is a time traveler, kidnapped from his place in the distant past of the 1960s and flung through centuries as part of an unknown agenda. That makes him a different kind of character than Destiny 2 usually sees--his frame of reference is a lot closer to the people playing the game than the immortal Guardians who populate it.
In The Edge of Fate, Lodi is portrayed by actor Brian Villalobos, a newcomer to the game. Since taking on the role, Villalobos has been immersing himself more in the Destiny 2 world, and has even taken to streaming the game on Twitch (his brother, Michael, is the well-known Dark Souls streamer LobosJr). GameSpot spoke with Villalobos via email about the experience of taking on the role of Lodi and finding the humanity in the character amid the space magic.
