History

Before the events of Turn A Gundam, Loran lived on the moon and led a peaceful life working as a fisherman in one of the moon's many artificial seas. He was selected along with two other people, Fran Doll, and Keith Laijie, to travel to Earth, with the apparent role to be scouts for the Moon race. They were not the first to be given this task however.

Plot

Arrival on Earth

Loran's first arrival to Earth finds him almost drowning in a local river. He is quickly saved by Sochie Heim and Kihel Heim, and is soon hired to work in Dylan Heim's mines. He would later become the family driver for two years due to his proficiency with machines, and it is during this time that he meets Guin Sard Lineford who, mistakenly, calls him Laura. After over two years, and no longer being considered a foreigner, Loran is allowed to participate in the Coming of Age ceremony.

Becoming A Pilot

The night of the Coming of Age ceremony also marked the night of the moon race invasion. One of the explosions from the invasion causes a quake that breaks a large moustached statue. Inside the Statue is the white doll WD-M01 Turn A Gundam. The White Doll then begins to act on it's own with Loran and Sochie in the cockpit. He is then quickly forced into becoming an Earth Militia pilot. He acts as the only Earth Militia pilot before the discovery of AMX-109 Kapools. He does all of this under the alias of Laura Rolla. Not long After the event Dianna came to Earth, and a lengthy peace negations process. Loran was forced to attend a dance. During this event Loran was forced to dress in drag and at one point shared a dance with Harry Ord.

Traveling With Dianna

Later Kihel Heim and Dianna Soreil switched places leaving every one oblivious to the events. Loran was no exception. Loran began to travail with Diana following the militia. It is early during this period the Loran first fights Corin Nander, who is the first person to identify the White Doll as a Gundam. Loran does not understand at this point, and is only saved by Dianna's timely intervention. Loran later meets Teteth Halleh and Will Game. Durring this time, Loran spends much of his time excavating a space ship. Not to long after Dianna reveals her true identity to Loran. This was so that they could hopefully switch places back to normal, but the plan, however, did not work. Soon after the failed switch Loran nearly looses the Gundam to Teteth, who reveals it to be WD-M01 Turn A Gundam. The theft however fails, and ultimately Teteth looses her life though not to Loran. Eventualy, Harry, who is sent by Kihel, is able to meet up with Loran and retrieve the real Dianna, after a brief fight with Corin.

Traveling to Space

In the panic Loran is given two nuclear warheads by a mechanic trying to hid the remaining nuclear weapons from the world. Not long after Loran following Earth Forces orders takes off in the Will Game trying to take the war to the moonrace directly. They have to however stop in Manuipich. In Manuipich they fight to free the area of moonrace now under leadership of Phil Ackman. They win there and use the Dragons back; which was actuary a hidden mass driver to enter space. Hary Ord also joins Loran apon traveling to space.

The Moon

Not long after entering space Loran is again thrust into combat.

Trivia

Early Concept art of Loran Cehack

• It is often thought among fans that Loran was originally intended to be a girl. This however is near imposable to verify and seems discredited by early concept art.
• Humorously however, by completing all of Loran's Story Missions in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 and reading the terminal message Dianna sends, apparently gives the player an alternate costume which presents Loran in a decorative emerald dress with makeup. This being a reference towards his cross dressing in the anime.
