Character

Loch

Loch anchors Gage Whitney Pace's Midtown conference rooms as a mid-level transactional attorney, his skeptical blade carving through Sam's liability assurances and moral detours in the $18 million tanker deal. He challenges interruptions on coverage gaps, recoils at the $46 million safer-ship premium, and counters environmental pleas by spotlighting Sam's distracted gaze toward Josh Lyman—insisting the firm heeds eco-concerns yet yanking focus back to fiscal rails. Interactions with Gage, Cameron, Rita, and clients cement his role as unyielding enforcer of commercial discipline, his sharp observations exposing idealism's cracks amid high-stakes pitches three years prior.
