Sir Locke

Sir Locke the Stormbreaker was the step son of Artorias and the Elf Queen Gwyn. His father is unknown, but Artorias and Gwyn raised him as their own. He was sent to the best schools in the Empire for training in scholarly knowledge and combat.

Sir Locke became arrogant and, shielded by his privilege, believed he was the true heir to the throne if anything were to happen to his mother. The birth of Gawain threw his mind and morals into chaos.

He began to grow close to his "uncle" Mordred and also fell under the same delusional spells of Morgana. His lust for power could not be satiated, yet the love and care Artorias showed him as a father-figure was not easily thrown away.

However, on the fateful mission to investigate the Temple of Dusk, Sir Locke secretly drank from a fountain of black ooze (the black blood of the earth). This pushed him over the edge into the firm grips of evil and he would succumb to the corruption in the showdown with Bane in the ritual room.

Locke chose to ally with Bane with the promise he would become the Black Knight and rule over Gwynneth with an iron fist. The battle turned against him as a raging Mordred and Morgana beat him to within an inch of his life. Calling upon his magic, he misty stepped across the bridge and it broke behind him. His escape would bring his self-fulfilling prophecy full circle and, rumor has it, he still rules the region with his dark throne in Gwynneth...
