Quote: "If you can't kill it you don't deserve to fly it!"

Significant Events of Childhood and Adolescence: Raised in a relativly good familiy, adopted father was a Imperial officer. Adopted mother died of a car accident when Locke was about 17, after that Locke decided to join the Empire and was able to go through the Imperial Academy.

Significant Events of Adulthood: Locke was comissioned into the Imperial Navy roughly a year before the Battle of Yavin. Before the Battle of Hoth, Locke was one of the lucky pilots that got the chance to test out the TIE Advanced in real-time battle. Many pilots, due to lack of training and, more importantly, the feeling of being invinicble in this craft, did not do so well out there. Locke was not amoung them. It was here that he learned that no craft is invincible and that you should always be able to beat what you fly, a belief that would help him greatly in the days ahead. Locke was transferred unto Admiral Ozzel for more TIE Advanced tests and help in building sims to correctly train the pilots shortly before the Battle of Hoth, where he played a small role in starship cover. After his duties with TIE Advanced testing were finished, Locke was transfered under Zaarin's command, where he would test fly more of the TIE Advanced and a few of the upgraded TIEs, as well as being able to be one of the first pilots of the TIE Defender. Locke learned a few things about ships and imperial tech while he was there as well. When Zaarin defected, Locke did serve under him for a short time, as he and Zaarin had become friends after awhile. However Locke did have a call of loyalty, and Zaarin seemed to be going through changes and not for the better. However one does not easily leave Zaarin's force...however, Locke finally got a mission where he would have enough fuel to get him out fo the warlord's reach. Near this time Zaarin was killed as was the Emperor. Though Locke consdiered returning to Imperial service, he had decided that the Empire was not what it used to be and deiced to become a trader.

Alignment and Attitude: Locke is very easy going most of the time, however he can be very serious while in the cockpit and when his principles are challenged. If he sees something he dosen't like he tries to fix it and sometimes that requires busting a few skulls or two...Locke is quick to get in a fight, a problem that he's trying to fix.

Former Occupations: Besides being in the Imperial Navy Locke was a trader. He did rather well at this profession and as a result has enough credits to keep him secure for quite awhile, though you would never guess it if you spoke to him.

Hobbies: Locke loves a good deal, but as for real hobbies...Locke does like to travel, but the truth is he's more of a workoholic and so his hobby is his job.

Tragedies: Locke's adopted mother died in a car crash when he was 18 and his father died shortly after he graduated from the Academy, due to a Rebel attack on the Victory-class Star Destroy he was stationed on.

Phobias and Allergies: The only thing Locke fears is screwing up a good deal. That and losing friends in battle.

Personal View of the Empire and EH: Locke felt the original Empire was a good idea gone bad and depended too much on the Emperor himself. As for the Emperor's Hammer, it's pretty close to ideal for Locke.

Reason for enlisting in the EH: Locke missed the Imperial service and the pride it used to give him. However, he was a test pilot and was only used to flying the best stuff. Plus he had served under Zaarin and under most warlords or Imperial factions, that would be enough to give him the boot. However Locke made a deal bringing TIE Defender parts to the ISD Challenge. Once Locke got there he was greeted by a old friend of his, Darklord, who encouraged him to rejoin the Empire under the Emperor's Hammer. After seeing the ships, Locke had to agree.

Other Comments: Locke hates pilots who love the TIE Defender yet can't beat it without missiles, or even period. He thinks that any pilot who files a T/D or any other ship for that matter should be able to defeat it.
