Involvement[]
Pre-Saga:[]
Loran, like all the other adult men in his township, works as a helium-3 miner. When Eo turned 14, Loran proposed for her hand in marriage and got kindly rejected.
Red Rising:[]
When Darrow manages to extract a significant sum of helium-3, Loran jokes at Dago's expense and coaxes him to tell everyone the amount that Gamma had extracted that week. It having been less than what Lambda had extracted, Loran and others from the clan were joyous at the expectation of winning the Laurel.
During the rest of the afternoon, Loran and Kieran are seen dancing and drinking near The Soggy Drop. Together with his family he mocks the Gamma; fantasizing about them eating normal rations when Lambda wins finally the Laurel. His joy then turns to rage when it is announced that the Laurel was unfairly given to the Gamma.
When Eo is flogged, Loran weeps at the ordeal. After her death, he spends the night sitting by the door of Darrow's house along with Eo's father and Kieran to ensure that he does not die.
