Bio

About (No Spoilers)

     Locke is an adventurer and claims to be a “treasure hunter” but yet others consider him to be a thief instead.  He remains loyal and is very willing to protect others and he has a lot of heroic qualities in him.  However, his past is shrouded in tragedy and denial and this causes him to be determined and makes him a better person overall.

Major Relations

     It is apparent that since Locke is a member of the Returners, he knows most of them fairly well like King Edgar of Figaro and Banon.  But as the game goes on, he builds a solid and good friendship with General Celes after saving her from the hands of the Empire and they become good friends.  Locke also makes friends with Terra as well, since he took care of her in the early parts of the game.  Locke is fairly easy to get along with, he always sticks to his word and he rarely loses his temper so that makes him quite a likeable character overall.  But Locke has the strongest relations with Rachel, who was a very good friend of Locke who he revived with the help of the “Phoenix” magicite that he found on one of his adventures.

Character Developments (Spoilers)

     A member of the “Returners”, Locke opposes the Empire and first encounters Terra in Narshe.  Always willing to protect others, Locke promises to look after and protect Terra from the hands of the Empire as they are frantically searching for her and Locke is a man, true to his word.  Later on, Locke rescues General Celes from the Empire and seems to build a solid friendship with her throughout the game.  Unfortunately, Locke has a tragic past in which he blames himself for failing to protect his best friend in a time of need.

Review

     While Locke has all the qualities of a main character, he isn’t the lead character in the game.  Although he does manage to play a significant role and he is still one of the main characters though.  His “steal” commands and thieving abilities will enable you to steal some good relics and items as well as weapons and armor.  Even though he isn’t entirely 100% efficient at stealing, Locke still does steal most of the time, depending on what you equipped him with.  Locke is a good all-around character and his personality is well-known and respected as well.  To me, I thought Locke made a good character in the game and he’s a cool character overall.  Of course, you might think different, depending on your preferences…….

Weapons/Armor

     Unlike Terra, Locke can’t equip strong armor and he can only equip lighter armor for the most part.  However, his defense, while not exactly that great, is still decent but he is still a reasonable character to use in battle.  Locke has a wide variety of different weapons that he can use like Swords, Daggers as well as some long-range weapons.  Locke is not a good magic user at the start but his thieving skills will no doubt grab useful items and other stuff for the good of the party.

    *NOTE: Value is the price you must pay for it, if it's "1", you can find it as an item.
     If "???" is the attack power value, the value will change on varying conditions such as level.
