Born on the colony of [[Jericho VII]], Locke was orphaned when the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Jericho VII|invaded]] his homeworld in [[2535]], being evacuated from the planet only minutes before its [[glassing]] by the Covenant. Losing everyone he had known, Locke was placed in a state orphanage with other children who had suffered a similar fate. Upon growing older many of his compatriots enlisted in the UNSC, eager for revenge against the Covenant.

Upon growing older many of his compatriots enlisted in the UNSC, eager for revenge against the Covenant. However, Locke continued to blame the government for their failure to defend his homeworld and came to the conclusion that the UNSC was incapable of protecting its citizens. As a result, he became a freelance tracker and assassin. Locke's atypical behavior and questionable allegiances eventually caught the eye of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], who planned to train Locke into a specific role within their organization. Seeking a greater purpose in life, Locke accepted ONI's offer to join and entered their extensive training program where he honed his skills to perfection and became one of ONI's top field operatives.<ref name="wp locke"/> | ||
On [[2552#September|September | On [[2552#September|September 26, 2552]], Locke compiled a target profile report concerning [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadamee]], detailing the [[Sangheili]]'s personal history from the UNSC's [[Battle of the Rubble|first known encounter]] with him on [[the Rubble]] to the [[Fall of Reach|glassing]] of [[Reach]]. Locke concluded the report by recommending the immediate termination of 'Vadamee if the Covenant advance were to be slowed in any significant manner. This report was later accessed by [[John-117]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-PtjomjQ-Y/'''YouTube''': ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection Terminal Trailer'']</ref><ref>'''[[Remaking The Legend]]'''</ref> | ||

On [[2556|February | On [[2556|February 7, 2556]], Locke led an [[Locke's team|ONI team]] dispatched to the distant [[human colonies|human colony]] [[Sedra]] to investigate [[terrorism|terrorist]] activity. During the investigation Locke's unit and the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] were forced to cooperate after [[Sedra City]] was targeted by a [[Sangheili Zealot]] terrorist wielding a powerful [[bioweapon]]. While patrolling the outskirts of Sedra City, the team spotted a [[Yonhet]] smuggler named [[Axl]] supplying the Sangheili Zealot with a stasis refrigerant. While [[Gregory Ramos|Agent Ramos]] apprehended Axl, Locke, [[Michael Horrigan|Horrigan]], and [[Alistair Estrin|Estrin]] pursued the Sangheili. Locke chased the Sangheili into a city access tunnel while Horrigan and the rest of the unit headed directly to the city. After a brief skirmish inside the access tunnel, the Zealot escaped into a Sedran mall with Locke pursing him. As the Sangheili prepared to activate the bioweapon, Locke jumped on top of the Zealot, disabled the alien's [[energy shielding]], and wounded him with his [[M6H magnum]]. Locke attempted to force the Sangheili to surrender, but the Zealot jumped off a ledge and activated the bioweapon instead, killing himself in the process. Many humans throughout the city began showing signs of infection, including Locke's fellow operatives [[Jordan Gaines]] and [[Mason Hundley]]. The unit went to the [[Sedran Colonial Guard Hospital]], where Locke and the uninfected members of his unit went through a decontamination process. After searching the [[Bactrian-class freighter|freighter]] used to transport the bioweapon to Sedra, Locke and his unit witnessed [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Randall Aiken]] brutally interrogating Axl. However, speaking in the Covenant's trade pidgin, Locke was able to persuade Axl into revealing what he knew of the origins of the element used in the bioweapon.<ref name="nightfall1">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> | ||
The unit learned | The unit learned of the weapon's core component - an entirely new element originating from a [[Alpha Halo|partly functioning segment]] of [[Installation 04]] that orbited perilously close to a red giant star. The team discovered that a second tug was travelling to the shard to mine the element's deposits on the fragment. After getting the approval of [[Goodwin|Rear Admiral Goodwin]], the team was forced to cooperate with the Sedran Colonial Guard to travel to the Alpha Shard, capture the smugglers who mined the element for interrogation, and destroy the deposits of the element with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]. However, they would be forced to complete their expedition within the sixteen hours the ring's landscape side faced away from the star; during the "day" the temperature and radiation would become unbearable. Taking a [[D81-LRT Condor]] to the partially functioning fragment, eleven ONI and Colonial Guard personnel traveled to Alpha Shard.<ref name="nightfall1"/> | ||

Locke also revealed to [[Talitha Macer|Private Talitha Macer]] that Colonel Aiken was once a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]]. Eventually, the crew arrived at their destination and landed on the Halo shard's surface. Donning their [[Powered exoskeleton|powered]] [[Nightfall armor]], the Locke and the other three ONI operators jumped out of the Condor at a significant height. After discovering the abandoned tug used by the smugglers, the team discovered horse tracks nearby. The team moved to the tracks' direction and come across two smugglers—[[Arris Le]] and [[Haisal Wari]]—mining the element in a cave. The smugglers attempted to escape but Locke and Horrigan quickly incapacitated and [[Physical restraints|restrained]] the smugglers. The group began to return to the Condor for extraction; however, while the [[dropship]] was setting down, a large number of [[Lekgolo]] appeared and began to swarm over the Condor and it flew off erratically—now controlled by the Lekgolo. As more of the Lekgolo eels appeared, Locke ordered for the group to retreat as three of the Sedrans and the horses were killed. The Lekgolo, in large gestalt formations, began to pursue the group who escaped into a narrow crevice. Locke used a special appliance to [[Holography|holographically]] camouflage their position from the aliens. However, the Lekgolo quickly sensed the cloaking unit and destroyed it. As the eels closed in on the group, Arris revealed that the Lekgolo can sense active technology and movement, prompting the group to reluctantly shut down the electronics present in their equipment. Unable to detect the humans, most of the Lekgolo left the area and the nine survivors moved out of the crevice. Locke briefly stayed behind to observe a lone Lekgolo worm, before crushing it in his fist.<ref name="nightfall2">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> | ||

With the nuclear ordnance recovered and the Condor having limited flight capability, Randall volunteered to detonate the warhead while Locke and Macer used the Condor to reach the tug. While Arris, Ramos, and Horrigan were consumed by the Lekgolo during their attempt to escape, Macer and Locke barely evaded the same fate. Unbeknownst to the pair, Randall's activation of the nuke drew the Lekgolo to his position, allowing the pair to escape Alpha Shard before the nuke's detonation.<ref name="nightfall5">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 5''</ref> | With the nuclear ordnance recovered and the Condor having limited flight capability, Randall volunteered to detonate the warhead while Locke and Macer used the Condor to reach the tug.
