Jameson Locke

This article is about the ONI agent. For the Marine, see Locke (Mombasa).

Agent Locke is a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier and an Office of Naval Intelligence operative.

Biography
At one point, Locke was part of a Spartan unit dispatched on a perilous alien world.

Following the Didact's attack on Earth, Locke was evidently tasked with tracking down MCPO John-117. To the 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.

Personality and traits
Locke is described as 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.

Armor
Locke wears what appears to be a modified version of the MJOLNIR (GEN2) Soldier variant. It is painted dark gray with yellow-orange highlights much like the Recruit-class armor worn by many Spartans on. 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 chest piece's both breasts.
