Jameson Locke
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Lieutenant Commander Jameson Locke is a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier[1] and an Office of Naval Intelligence agent.[2][3] He serves under ONI's Section III as an Acquisitions Specialist, his duties including the retrieval of important objects from the enemy as well as the assassination and tracking of high-profile individuals.[4]
Biography
Born on the colony of Jericho VII, Locke was orphaned when the Covenant invaded his homeworld in 2535, being evacuated from the planet only minutes before its glassing by the Covenant.[4]
Locke would later become an Office of Naval Intelligence operative. At one point after July 2557, Locke led an ONI team dispatched to the distant human colony Sedra to investigate terrorist activity.[5] During the investigation Locke's unit and the Sedran Colonial Guard they were forced to cooperate with discovered an ancient alien artifact: a partly functioning segment of Installation 04 orbiting perilously close to a red giant star. Forced to complete their expedition on the ring section within the sixteen hours the ring's landscape side faced away from the star, Locke and the group were exposed to a grave threat that resided on the Halo.[6]
Sometime after 2553 Locke compiled a target profile report concerning the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, detailing 'Vadam's personal history from the start of the Human-Covenant War to the glassing of Reach and beyond. This report was later accessed by John-117.[7]
Following the Didact's attack on Earth, Locke was evidently tasked with tracking down MCPO John-117. To this end, Locke met with Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and studied video recordings of the Master Chief's exploits to better learn about the legendary Spartan's history.[2]
Personality and traits
A collected and forward-thinking individual, Locke is a competent soldier who takes a professional approach to combat situations and inspires loyalty in those under his command. However, he is troubled by some aspects of the organization he serves under.[8]
Armor
Locke wears what appears to be an unidentified MJOLNIR (GEN2) armor. It is painted dark gray with yellow-orange highlights much like the Recruit-class armor worn by many Spartans on Template:UNSCship. On the back, the bodysuit bears a pattern of two light blue glowing lines which begin at the upper thighs and connect at the nape, a feature not observed in other GEN2 variants. Similar lines are also featured on the front side, specifically the upper arms and chest. An ONI emblem is painted on the chest piece's left breast, with the code number 00-8221-3 painted on both sides.
