Locke

About
Locke was a "corpse manipulator," a man with the unusual power to possess the bodies of the dead. While possessed, his victim's souls would return to the body, largely unable to contest his control. He would then typically append his own name to theirs and attempt to disguise himself in their role, although he was not a particularly good actor, and could never avoid adding his signature lisp. Making his stronghold in a section of the Ragnard Dungeon called the Emperor's Castle, Locke decided to enter the Toushin Tournament not just once, but twice, using the bodies of Pluma Etoshiha, dubbed Plumalocke, and a man named Gazel, now Gazellocke. Whlie Gazel's partner is unknown, Locke kidnapped Tirol to serve as Pluma's partner.

Pluma was hardly Locke's only victim. Another agent was Hannylocke (ハニーロック), a Brown Hanny that he used as his "personal" face while remaining hidden in the shadows (how Locke retrieved such a pristine Hanny shell is unknown). Locke also imprisoned his own mother, punishing her for the "sin" of giving birth to him by forcing her to perform necrophilia (is is possible this was done using Pluma's magic, similar to the magic she was forced to use on Tirol, as it does not seem to line up with Locke's established power-set).

During the Toushin Tournament, Gazellocke was defeated by Border Galois, leaving Plumalocke alone in the running. One day, Plumalocke encountered his next opponent, Seed Cashima, in the Ragnard Dungeon. Deciding he wanted to capture Seed's body, and seeing the opportunity to easily progress in the tournament, Locke captured Seed in the Emperor's Castle, though Gazellocke was destroyed in the process. Seed was later rescued by Hazuki Mizuhara, and together, the two destroyed Hannylocke and confronted the corpse manipulator himself. Locke, in a terrified panic, ran into a wall and died an embarassing death.

Trivia

 * Because of drastic cuts to Plumalocke's round of the tournament in the Tournament of the Gods: Title Match OVA series, Locke does not appear in person, and Gazellocke and Hannylocke do not appear in any fashion.
