Personnel Information

Biography

"What if I were to tell you there was more than this out there?"
"More than this crazy world? I'd hope you were telling the truth, and offering me a way out."
"And if I was?"
"I'd beg you to take me with you. "

―Liam Bayloh and Locke Cole discussing Planeswalking

Personality

"I guess they're just letting any old geezers walk into this squad, huh?"
"Cute, kid. Aren't you forgetting your diapers? Wouldn't do to have you wet yourself on the flight. "

―Benji Powell and Locke Cole on their way to the field exam

Despite his talents, Locke is the complete opposite of the typical image one would have for a thief of his level of talent. He despises being called a thief, and often will be caught insisting that it does not define him as a person. He holds honor above all else, and will keep any promise he makes as if his life were on the line; no matter what risks it might involve. Honorable, loyal almost to a fault, and dependent are all word that can be used to describe Locke Cole.

But there is another side of him that few have seen. The side that doubts himself, and everything he does. He has searched for answers to his unasked and unknown questions for years.

Synopsis

Locke has made few appearances in the Eighth Realm of the Clouded Horizons series. For more information, see the synopsis page.

Combat Information

"No plan survives contact with the enemy."
"I've heard that."
"But, I bet you didn't know I have a foolproof plan that survives any encounter I have."
"Which is?"
"Don't have a plan. Hard to destroy that plan."

―Locke discussing his battle strategy with a fellow SeeD

Being a thief, Locke relies his high speed and his ability to evade hits while not using as much magic as his peers. His equipment draw includes most daggers and swords which he uses better than most. What he lacks in strength he makes up for in his ability to get in and out of combat; landing quick hits and moving out of striking range are among his specialties.
