Locke is tall and thin. He has light brown/dark blond hair, the color depending on the way light reflects off it. His hair is usually kept cut short in a simple military style. In sharp contrast to his hair, his eyes are a murky green, appearing crystal green in bright light and as glinting dark jewels in dim light. His face is plain and indistinct; he would blend in with a crowd on countless human-inhabited worlds. Locke's body type emphasizes lean fitness, from a lifetime of military experience and combat. In many places on his arms, legs, and body, he has small scars from numerous old wounds.
Using his skill at Diplomacy and his reputation as a War Hero, Locke has put together a substantial network of loyal eyes-and-ears. He receives quite a bit of unfiltered information and thus is able to piece together details and share them with whoever he deems worthy (usually his allies in Naga Sadow). However, his information is sometimes contradictory and he has trouble picking out what is accurate without seeking the help of a more analytical mind.
There is good in Locke. He fancies himself as a protector of the weak and innocent, and does what he can to look after them. This is contrasted by his rampant use of the dark side and often ruthless approach to accomplishing his objectives. As a result, while he generally falls on the side of justice, he is often distrusted and feared by those he tries to protect.
While Locke possesses diplomatic skills, he doesn't always like to use them. He prefers approaching his problems head on; weapon in hand. It doesn't take long before he grows impatient with talk and will take a more direct approach. This can sometimes result in a situation becoming more heated than it otherwise could have been.
While Locke used to see combat as a mere necessity, he now looks forward to each fight, relishing the opportunity to test and improve his abilities. It isn't beyond him to attempt humor or sarcasm in the middle of battle, but his heavy use of the dark side will sometimes cause him to display an uncharacteristic ferocity that contrasts sharply with his usually calm demeanor. This sudden shift in manner often alarms allies and enemies alike, meaning Locke has to be careful not to distract those on his own side.
While utilizing his Dowsing ability to track his opponents, Locke's Stamina ensures that he can keep up the pursuit almost indefinitely. His Healing allows him to handle superficial wounds, while his Channel lets him restore his Force reserves when he has a few moment's rest. Once he catches his enemy and makes it past the early states of a fight, Locke will attempt to wear them down and exploit any weakness he can find, but he can struggle at the beginning of an engagement when his opponent is at their peak.
A master of Niman, Locke utilizes his knowledge of lightsaber forms and tactics in combination with his Intellect, Force powers, and equipment to adapt his combat tactics depending on his opponents. He often attempts to control the tempo of a fight so he can have time to develop a plan to defeat his opponent. While this gives Locke a wide range of options, he can find himself surprised and overwhelmed by advanced tactics.
