Personality: Lockan the Judge is a proud and passionate crusader who ultimately seeks one goal- the obliteration of the Hakkorian Empire. Lockan holds a strong sense of duty to follow in the footsteps of his people, the Tenebrae's ancient traditions. He delusionally believes that his cause is righteous because his entire life was built upon upholding such traditions- traditions that the Hakkorians threaten. In addition, the war with Hakkor caused him to lose his forefathers in battle and Lockan blames the Hakkorians, who started the war for their deaths. He does not see himself as a fanatic or a terrorist (both of which he is), and in his mind, anyone who refuses to follow them is an enemy who deserves execution.

Brutal, violent, relentless and unforgiving, Lockan stands as an example of rage, fanaticism, uncontrolled hatred and total cruelty. Lockan's painful experiences as a child are the source of this, and despite all attempts to bury his past, emotions from his youth are nonetheless something he channels in order to further his own power.

As a devout Tenebrae purist, Lockan believes that the Precursors were gods in similar fashion to the way the Covenant religion worshipped the Forerunners as gods. Lockan condemns many of the civilisations in the galaxy who worship the Forerunners, pointing out that the Forerunners were the ones to betray the Precursors' will millenia ago. As a Dark Alchemist, Lockan believes that he can ascend to the level of his gods by maximising his powers of Dark Alchemy, which an ancient group of Precursors were the first in the universe to use.

Despite his numerous negative traits, Lockan the Judge possesses a strong sense of honour and justice. Unfortunately, Lockan's definition of when honour and justice are appropriate are massively inverted. In his eyes, murdering trillions of Hakkorians is justice, and there can be no greater honour than death by the hands of a great, noble warrior of the Tenebrae.

Born on Tenebra, the ancestral homeworld of the Tenebrae in a noble family which generations of had fought and died in the Thousand Year Hakkorian-Tenebrae War, Lockan Genvell inherited a connection to the powers of Dark Alchemy from his mother. He was named after Lockan Hazhala, a Tenebrae hero and legendary warrior who was regarded as the Bane of the Hakkorian people for centuries before he died saving the life of Lockan Genvell's father, whom Hazhala was great friends with. Though a smart and astute individual, Lockan suffered abandonment issues from a young age and feared being isolated or left behind by those he cared about. To avoid such a thing happening, Lockan worked his hardest on every part of his life trying to prove he was worthy of a loving family that should take care of him always. Whilst Lockan's great grandfather and grandfather fought in the war, he was able to experience some small semblance of a childhood outside education, however when he reached the age of 7, the worst case scenario for Lockan came to be and his mother and father sent him off to the Tenebrae Dark Alchemist Academy to train as a Dark Alchemist and warrior for the Tenebrae Empire. He had spent the most of his life up till then worried and working tirelessly to avoid such a thing and yet it seemed like he had worked so hard that he made it more likely for him to be sent away. The worst part was that Lockan had no way of understanding the true reasoning behind this to its fullest extent at the time, and he viewed being sent away to the Academy as his parents' way of getting rid of him.

Lockan learned the ways of the greatest warriors of the Tenebrae at the academy, training to be a master of his craft. He learned the Tenebrae religion and worshipped the Precursors daily, but the level of Tenebrae self-righteousness drilled into Lockan's head earned him a distaste for other religions, specifically those that worshipped the Forerunners, the ones who betrayed the Precursors. It was revealed to him that his parents sent him to the academy to train as a warrior because they had been called upon to fight for the Empire against the Hakkorians, and that he too would need to prepare in case the fighting ever required his services. Genvell however didn't understand why the war with Hakkor was even taking place, the Hakkorians did not share their religion yet their destruction was not considered a religious objective, but rather their destruction was simply considered justice.

Lockan continued to excel at his academy, proving his adeptness with Dark Alchemy strong and without restraint- impressing his masters. But the pressures of being named after a legend weighed heavily on Lockan, who was expected to live up to the name. Being a Genvell, one in a long line of great Tenebrae war heroes only fuelled his insecurities. He eventually graduated his formal education with mastery of Dark Alchemy, full knowledge of Tenebrae Law and as an already great warrior.

Enrolled in the Tenebrae Judge Contingent, the elite paramilitary police of the Empire, Lockan did well and was steadily promoted. In a border incident, he stopped a fleet of Kig-Yar ships smuggling narcotics from entering Tenebrae space and saw to it that the Empire deported the Kig-Yar representatives they were being delivered to.

Lockan then successfully brought seven interdimensional criminals to justice after the criminals tried to use a dangerous wave of Cosmic energy to disrupt an entire Tenebrae controlled star system and plunder it of riches with ease, using the local star's solar flares and manipulating them with his Dark Alchemist powers to destroy the machine the criminals used to harness this Cosmic energy and detonate it from other dimensions before it would reach theirs.

Tragedy struck when he heard of his Great Grandfather's death by the hands of Hakkorian Posthumans, causing Lockan to develop the first feelings of genuine disdain for Hakkor. Reportedly, his great grandfather suffered a dishonourable death and was not even allowed to have a hero's duel as all elderly Tenebrae warriors were expected to die in, reinforcing the ideas taught to him that Hakkorian cared not for honour and respect.

He was instrumental in the defeat of several Hakkorian Death Riders- a group of necessary evil outlaw types working for the Hakkorian Empire who attempted to assassinate a Tenebrae Judge. Lockan apprehended the Death Riders, though one- Jegden Vaas, escaped. Lockan then brought the rest before said Judge. Recognising Lockan's skill, the Judge promoted Lockan to a Judge in the Judge Contingent and the two both dealt with sentencing the Death Riders to life in prison.

Now as a Judge, Lockan was given command over his own ship from which he could assume command of any available Tenebrae military force and appropriate them to serve the Judge Contingent. Lockan named his warship The Shining Ascent and began his career as a Judge of the Tenebrae Empire.

At first, Lockan acted as a fair, calm and collected mediator who tried to show honour towards those he battled with or arrested, though his actions sometimes became morally questionable in the pursuit of his goals. During this time, Lockan's Grandfather suffered defeat in battle and was bombarded with Hakkorian laser fire from orbit, killing him and all his fellow soldiers. As a result of this, Lockan's methods slowly became even more and more radical, especially when dealing with the Hakkorian Empire.

Genvell's turning point came when he was shown a carnage report of the Attack on Mae-Varn Station, where Hakkorian Solar Eclipse Corpsmen launched a surprise attack on the Station where Lockan's parents were placed. The carnage report came with a recording- showing the Solar Eclipses destroying the station with their powers. Lockan watched his parents die as they retaliated with full force against the Solar Eclipses, with his mother using Dark Alchemy in an attempt to vanquish them. Her use of Dark Alchemy only made the Solar Eclipses use even more extreme prejudice, and she was reduced to atoms, with his father following shortly after.

Horrified by the footage despite not having spent much time with his parents in his life, Lockan questioned how and why the Solar Eclipses were so cruel, they could've easily knocked his mother and father out, why was it necessary to kill them so brutally? The deaths of his parents dragged Lockan closer to darkness and he was more and more hateful of the Hakkorians in his actions.

Over 7 months following their deaths, Lockan still hadn't been able to let go of the past and surrounded himself with several indulgences. Whilst on the artificial moon Claudaxia, known for its nightclubs and casinos, Lockan was drinking his sorrows away with a Malvoarian Asteroid Vice cocktail, watching Byli'rien dancers as he got himself drunk for the first time in years. Lockan, without anything better to do with his time, decided to remain on Claudaxia for the time being. During this time, Lockan engaged in an intense sexual relationship with Tenebrae Intelligence Officer and Politician Doctor Zarla-Tha and the two fell madly in love for one another. Zarla-Tha and Lockan even made plans to leave service from the Empire and live on Claudaxia together. Lockan was content with this idea and was willing to pursue it, feeling that his good (and pretty damn hot) relationship with his adventurous partner was just what he needed to cool his emotions down and get over the past.

After an intense sexual encounter with her, Lockan received a transmission from the Whogn Durva, the Tenebrae Magistrate- leader of the Judge Contingent, informing him of a new mission. Lockan and Zarla hoped to meet back on Claudaxia after this mission, believing it would be relatively short.

Lockan returned to The Silver Ascent to receive information of the mission. Lockan was to intercept Hakkorian Eclipse Corpsmen who were attempting to travel through the Chasm Nebula- one of few 'Conduit Nebulae' providing clear passage into different areas in the universe. In the Chasm's case, the lower depths of the universe. When Lockan asked why the Hakkorians were travelling through the Chasm Nebula, Durva informed him that his parents logged data into Mae-Varn Station's database, describing that they had observed "a world of interest" beyond the Chasm Nebula that they had also visited, but only once. Lockan and The Silver Ascent were dispatched to follow the Eclipse Corps ship entering the Chasm Nebula.

Following the Eclipse Corps, The Silver Ascent reported to Lockan that they were picking up strange energy signatures. Genvell ordered a listener vessel to be deployed near the Eclipse ship to listen in on their communications and see if they knew what these signatures were. Eventually, a massive energy detonation destroyed the listener vessel and blinded The Silver Ascent's view of the Hakkorian ship. The Silver Ascent stationed itself in orbit around an ice giant and remained there until they could see the Hakkorian ship again. The Hakkorians landed on a large planet further on. Lockan left the ship in a shuttle with several other Tenebrae in shuttles for the Hakkorian ship's location. They arrived to find Hakkorian Eclipse Corpsmen in battle with what appeared to be an army of Anadytes- a race of energy beings. The Tenebrae found themselves in battle with the Anadytes, and Lockan ordered his troops to focus on defeating the attackers and focus on the Hakkorians later. However, when Lockan was hit by an energy detonation from an Anadyte, he was forced to cling onto the edge of a cliff. All his troops were unable to help him, but he noticed someone who was not pinned down- but they were a Hakkorian. As he lost his grip however, Lockan called out for help from anyone, and as his hand slipped from the edge, the hand of a Hakkorian Solar Eclipse reached out and grabbed ahold of him, saving Lockan's life. Lockan was confused as to how and why the Solar Eclipse saved him, but stood by him as they fought off the last of the Anadyte attackers. When the battle ended, the Tenebrae were about to fight the Hakkorians, but Lockan ordered them to stand down- the Solar Eclipse saved his life and Lockan owed him a great deal.

The two groups joined together as their ships were deprived of energy by the Anadytes, forcing them to pool one another's resources. Lockan learned the name of his saviour- Naakon Tenarion. Lockan and Naakon, both leaders of their individual groups, struck up a temporary alliance and they shared their collective understanding of the situation aboard the Hakkorian vessel. After restoring power to the ship, one of the Hakkorians reported Anadyte energy signatures were moving fast through the Nebula, back through the way they came. Realising that they must have been intending to launch a full scale attack on their forces outside the Nebula, Lockan ordered The Silver Ascent's remaining crew to return to the empire and inform them of what they had found.

The group worked on repairing the vessel for around a week, until it was operational again and they took off the planet to follow the Anadytes. When they made their way out, they discovered that the Anadytes had obliterated a nearby Hakkorian Fleet and the star system it was protecting and were spreading fast throughout the galaxy. Vorn-Laisa, Lockan's second in command stated that they needed to warn the galactic community.

When their temporary alliance was recognised, the Magistrate ordered Lockanto return to the Empire and leave his Hakkorian allies behind. Lockan then asked how the Tenebrae planned to deal with the Anadyte Threat, and he responded that they intended to protect their own borders until the threat subsided. However, Lockan disagreed with the notion, having seen the Anadytes in action and their raw power, Lockan refused to return to Tenebrae space and consulted Naakon on his intentions. Naakon said that the Hakkorians intended to do the same thing and play defensively. Lockan and Naakon came to an agreement that they had to play offensively and take the fight to the Anadytes.

Lockan was then framed by the Magistrate and stripped of his Judge rank, the ruling Tenebrae powers remaining ignorant of the threat the Anadytes posed. Lockan later joined with the Protective Wave- a coalition set up by Naakon on the front lines against the Anadytes. Many rank and file Tenebrae trusted Lockan over the commanders appointed by the Magistrate and other leaders, in the war against the Anadytes.

Lockan believed that to better combat the Anadyte threat, there needed to be information on what their goals actually were. Naakon agreed, and searched for an Anadyte Solar Eclipse Corpsmen who would be willing to go undercover to discover their plot. After attracting said corpsmen-the rambunctious Blasnaro, who went undercover, they learned that the Anadytes were after a source of power which they could all collectively share to break through the near-impenetrable Precursor metal shell over a planet on the other end of the Chasm Nebula. These Anadytes were led by Phastonon- a vengeful Anadyte whose home system was left to be devoured by its own star's expansion and never received help or evacuation efforts from the rest of the Galaxy, feeling like his kind was neglected, he wanted to unleash the Flood back into the galaxy and have them devour species of biomass, which of course energy beings like the Anadytes were not and had nothing to fear.

With this information, Lockan, Naakon and the other leaders of the Protective Wave went to work on finding a way of defeating the Anadytes. Unfortunately, they disagreed on how they should go about defeating them. Where Naakon and the others wanted to play the game heroically and build mega-scale energy containment devices to avoid killing the Anadytes, Lockan opted for the quicker, anti-heroic option of taking great sources of power and using them offensively against the Anadytes to overload their structures and dissipate (kill) them.

When the Anadytes later came back to Tenebra with a stronger force, Lockan led a violent attack on them; in which entire power megastations were rocket propelled at the Phastonon's forces and decimated the Anadytes.

Joining up with the rest of the Wave, Lockan and his forces travelled to the Gas Giant Agadan, which was taken over by Kig-Yar Pirates after the Anadytes wiped out the Tenebrae there. The official plan was to strike up a deal with the Kig-Yar to allow them to use Agadan's strategic position as a staging base, but Lockan slipped behind the delegation alone, killing a few pirates occupying the palace whilst on his way to an elevator which would take him to the core of the gas giant, where he intended to unearth 14,000 Tenebrae Sentries hidden there for centuries to combat the Anadytes. When he reached them, he activated the Sentries using Dark Lightning, and ordered them all to rise up from the core and join the Protective Wave.

He got back up to the palace to find that the delegation had failed and pirates were threatening Naakon and the others. Lockan then rushed to kill the pirates and free the palace and by extension planet of their control. After this, Naakon scolded Lockan for his actions, but Lockan retorted that he was just doing what was necessary.

After a several month campaign across the galaxy neutralising the Anadytes, the Protective Wave took the fight directly to Phastonon who coordinated the Anadyte attacks from the safety of a quantum asteroid field. Lockan, Naakon, Vel 'Urtum, John Dalters and Malos all led the attack on Phastonon. Though it was slow for the front to move due to the destructive nature of the quantum asteroid field, the Wave made it through the outer blockade, but with terrible losses. Lockan the unleashed the 11,542 remaining Tenebrae Sentries to attack and clear the field with seismic bombs.

Once the Sentries blasted a new way through into Phastonon's fortress- a hollow, lengthy space rock holding all the sources of power the Anadytes had taken. Lockan, Naakon and Dalters all melted an entrance into the rock and battled with his guards. Lockan and Dalters reached Phastonon whilst Naakon held off the guards. But they were too late as Phastonon had donned a set of armour built by an unknown race of god-like beings that prevented his energy form from being overloaded and dissipated. Lockan and Dalters had to somehow remove the armour, held onto Phastonon's body by his own energy, in order to defeat him. Genvell tried to outdo Phastonon's own power by using Dark Alchemy to wrestle the armour off of him. When this totally foolproof tactic failed, Dalters harnessed interdimensional powers to split the armour into separate dimensions whilst Lockan blasted Phastonon with Dark Lightning, straining Phastonon's grip over his protection. When Phastonon finally lost his god-armour, Lockan threw a power core at him and energised it with dark energy whilst Naakon arrived on the scene to prevent Lockan from feeling the need to kill Phastonon by using a forced-reality lock on the Anadyte, dampening Phastonon's powers and then trapping him inside a temporal bubble which would keep him frozen in time.

With the Anadyte threat largely defeated, the original founding members of the Protective Wave were ordered to return to their respective factions and return all the sources of power. Lockan and Naakon disobeyed their orders however and travelled back to the Chasm Nebula on the basis that if they returned the power sources then their factions would simply fight over them. Using information gathered by Blasnaro, the Tenebrae and Hakkorians travelled to an unpopulated world in the lower depths of the universe- Planet S-493 on the other side of the Chasm Nebula, the planet that Phastonon intended to release the Flood from. Taking the power sources with them with the intention of detonating them all on the planet and wiping out the infestation of Flood. After they broke through the barrier-shell of Precursor metals and rock, the group were about to launch the power sources at the planet surface, only for the Flood Gravemind on the planet to use tentacles to grab ahold of their vessel. Lockan tried to launch them using his powers, but Naakon's attempted use of his own Solar Eclipse powers to kill the Flood blasted in Lockan's face and knocked him out of the vessel. The ship crashed, and the survivors met up. Naakon and Lockan agreed that they had to either detonate the power sources soon, which the Gravemind had taken into the centre of the hive or close up the barrier shell fast before the Flood could make it out and infect the galaxy. The group went on a long trip around the planet in search for a way into the hive that was somewhat survivable. Unfortunately for Lockan, the majority of his Tenebrae soldiers were lost. At a gorge which opened up into a much larger gorge, the group battled Flood, getting rid of most by pushing them back into the gorge, but then, a Flood Juggernaut grabbed ahold of both Lockan and Naakon. Naakon then blasted the Juggernaut with his powers, but it ended up being a foolish tactic as the blast knocked the juggernaut away with Lockan still in grip, and the juggernaut then fell into the gorge with the Tenebrae.

Lockan crashed into the floor but survived after a long plummet, surrounded by Flood and other natural terrors which he fought through. He battled them for hours upon hours, hoping that the group would come back for him. Some time later, they had not come back even two days. Lockan continued cutting through the Flood, and eventually felt like he had been left behind by the Hakkorians, especially since most of his soldiers died. He continued to defend Naakon though, as his friendship with him was genuine.

Believing he could detonate the power cores himself, Lockan fought his way to the centre of the Flood hive, overtime being more and more mentally deconstructed and horrified by the Gravemind. The Gravemind mortified Lockan with visions of terrible things happening to the Tenebrae. The Gravemind continued to torture his mind until he reached the centre of the hive and found none other than a Crystal which seemed to be hypnotic to the Gravemind- it was a Precursor Crystal. Lockan received visions from the crystal and heard voices telling him to take it in his hands. Lockan was won over by the intense dark energies and beheld the crystal, triggering something. Several ghosts then appeared before Lockan- all of whom were his ancestors- Dark Alchemists. The Dark Alchemist Ghosts told Genvell who they were and each talked about how the Hakkorians had led to their deaths. They also lamented over the fact that it was the Hakkorians who started the 1000 year war in the first place by setting on a mission to eradicate Dark Alchemists from the galaxy. Genvell refused to listen, not feeling the continuation of war with Hakkor was justified simply by them starting it. But the Dark Alchemists, now joined by the ghosts of Lockan's parents, continued to talk about how even to this day, the Hakkorians intended for the same thing to happen as they had from day one. Lockan's great great grandfather then informed him that it was the exact same thing that his 'friend' Naakon had just done to him- left him for dead. Even then, the Hakkorians had been sinister enough to make sure the Flood killed all of Lockan's soldiers instead of them, so he would have nobody to save him.

Lockan shut the ghosts out, mortified by the concept. He would've left the crystal but the knowledge and power the ghosts could bestow upon him overwhelmed him and he took it with him, making his escape from the Flood hive.

Across the next few long, painful days of slaughtering Flood, Lockan continued to have his soul ripped apart by his ancestors who continually drilled into his head the idea that the Hakkorians wanted him dead, always wanted him dead. To support this, they showed him snippets of Naakon's actions after Lockan's fall into the gorge, showing his troops telling him to leave him behind, then the loss of the last Tenebrae soldier to the Flood, and so on. The Hakkorians wanted Lockan dead. They wanted him dead. Dead, dead, dead. Genvell was slowly but surely being coerced, but he didn't change his views truly until he saw with his own eyes Naakon receiving a transmission from the Eclipse Corps asking if the Dark Alchemist had been killed, to which Naakon replied "yes". Lockan, believing this was all a set up from the very start, began to put the pieces together and realised that all the shortcomings in his life happened because of the Hakkorians- they started the war, the Hakkorians continued for a thousand years with the narrative that Dark Alchemists had to be destroyed, never once backing down. As a result, so many of Lockan's proud ancestry died in dishonourable ways, and his own childhood was taken away from him because his parents were forced to fight against the Hakkorian Empire, robbing him of a life and giving Lockan years of ignorant resentment toward his parents, meaning that he couldn't even tell his parents that he loved them before they were killed by Hakkorians for the very same reason- Dark Alchemy. And now Naakon Tenarion, the one Hakkorian he believed to be an example of the opposite, had done the exact same thing to him. As Lockan continued to battle his way out of a metaphorical hell which Naakon's own actions got him into, his position changed dramatically and he brooded over his entire life being ruined by people like Naakon. Lockan then roared angrily, declaring vengeance on Hakkor.

Lockan just made it out of the Flood Hive when he saw the Hakkorians were still on the planet, still trying to find a safe way of detonating the power sources. Genvell approached the Hakkorians without saying a word, he wanted his entrance to be a surprise. Naakon was then charged into by a Flood Brawler, separated from his helmet which activated the implant connecting him to the powers of a Solar Eclipse, Naakon had to grip onto the edge of a cliff just like Lockan did at the start of the Anadyte threat. Naakon scramed out for help, only to receive none- his troops were all pinned down. Lockan was suddenly presented with a choice that would define his character for the rest of his life- either choose the path of light and save Naakon's life as he had done for Lockan before, or choose the path of darkness and let Naakon fall to his death. Lockan, teetering on either choice, walked up to the edge that Naakon gripped onto and made sure he saw him. Naakon exclaimed a cry of relief that Lockan was still alive and Lockan was about to extend his hand out to do something with the Solar Eclipse, still unsure of what he was going to do. When presented with the choice between light and dark however by Naakon asking for his help, Lockan ultimately chose the path of darkness, fuelled by his anger and his resentment he had gained from his experience in the hellscape that was the Flood hive and the numerous ancestral ghosts which pushed him to do it. Lockan's open hand then gripped ahold of his particle sword and he activated it, using it to slice Naakon's fingers off and make him fall into the Flood hive. Lockan kept a stale and bittee expression at Naakon's pleas and screams. Lockan turned to face the rest of the Hakkorians, stepping on Naakon's helmet and destroying it. He used his powers to destroy the Flood occupying them and then engaged in battle with them, killing them all one by one.

After murdering all the Hakkorians, he then turned back, deciding to take Naakon's helmet as a trophy and proof of what he had just done, intending to bring it straight to the Magistrate on Tenebra and get his job as a Judge back.

Lockan made it back to Tenebra after sealing up the barrier shell and going back through the Chasm Nebula. Lockan was told by the guards to the Supreme Court on Tenebra that he was not allowed access due to his actions, so Lockan, fuelled by his anger that they still believed that he was sided with the Hakkorians, fought his way to the meeting room where the Magistrate and other Judges were conferring. He arrived, blasting the door apart and storming in with the helmet of a Solar Eclipse. He dropped it at the feet of the Magistrate and gave a scolding, intense glare. The Magistrate, shocked and amazed, reinstated Lockan Genvell as a Judge of the Tenebrae Empire's Judge Contingent.

Lockan met back up with Zarla-Tha after not having seen her for a long time. To his surprise, she actually remained faithful to him and waited his return. But Lockan's darker undertones even she couldn't relieve him of, and she worried for the first time that Genvell was simply too far gone and too caught up in his past to pursue a healthy relationship with.

For the next 7 years, Lockan went on a ruthless quest, murdering Hakkorians and all who belived Dark Alchemists needed to be destroyed. In doing so, Lockan took part in numerous war crimes and allied himself with individuals across the galaxy even the Tenebrans considered cruel and vile. In the Obsidian Dreadlord Taniox's quest to obtain the Dread Stones- seven stones that could control cosmic forces and cause mass destruction on a universal scale, Lockan, who now sought to bring about genocide against the Hakkorian people, agreed to aid Taniox in his search for The Sphere- a relic of ancient power (Actually housing the Dread Stone of Power) in exchange for Taniox' promise to attack the Hakkorian homeworld- Hakkor and raze it to the ground.

Zarla-Tha eventually started intentionally seeing Lockan less and worried more about her beloved. Seeking to force Lockan to change his ways, she started a campaign for the war with Hakkor to end, believing that Lockan would never argue ultimately with the will of the Tenebran people as a whole.

Under the order of Taniox, Lockan led an attack on the Jiralhanae world of Ohvat. The population of the planet was randomly divided according to how overpopulated Taniox believed it to be and the surplus was killed by Lockan's Tenabrae soldiers. Lockan himself attacked a the village of the Ettarg tribe, in search of a shaman who was supposedly communicating with 001732990417 Black Solitude, the fabled monitor of the Omega Halo Installation, but Lockan failed to find the shaman.

Lockan then personally killed two individuals- Ziena, an ex-tribeswoman and Erisa, her daughter, in a tent, finding their dying screams to be pitiful. This murder was observed by Haxus the Devastator- husband of Ziena and father of Erisa, and the legendary warrior of the Ettarg tribe, who immediately challenged Lockan in an angry fit of rage, only for Lockan to leave the scene via a teleporter, leaving Haxus to fall to the ground and mourn over the corpses of his wife and daughter, making him swear to have bloody revenge on Lockan for what he did.

Several years later, the Magistrate was ousted from his position and the Tenebrae leaders began to see the cruelty of their ways and the corruptness of their military branches. After investigations took place, Lockan eventually lost his high standing with the Tenebrae Empire and the Judge Contingent was demobilised. However, he continued going by his title- Lockan the Judge.

Not long after, the war between the Tenebrae Empire and the Hakkorian Empire cooled down and tensions began to soften amidst the realisation that the war was becoming pointless- thanks to Zarla-Tha's campaign. Lockan tried to keep it going but his loss of power made it impossible to do so as the majority of Tenebrans were tired of war and only purists like Lockan wanted to keep going. The two factions soon signed a peace treaty to end the war, and Lockan was so disgusted and ashamed that he fled the Empire, feeling that he and his entire Genvell lineage had been betrayed after they had all died for the empire and he had committed himself to Hakkor's death. He tried to take Zarla-Tha with him, but realised that she was embracing this new future, causing the two to end their romantic relationship and only meet in future for sexual encounters, breaking Zarla-Tha's heart every time they would meet again in the future at the prospect of not being able to change him. Although the Judges were being reinstated after serious reform, Lockan was able to take back control of his warship- The Silver Ascent, taking an army of Tenebrae Purists and Dark Alchemists, including personal friend General Obath Kalell with him.

Travelling the galaxy, Lockan had The Silver Ascent totally remoddelled, redesigned and retrofitted with Precursor and Dark Alchemist technology in the style of traditional Tenebrae architecture, and so it became The Opaque Ascent- his new instrument of destruction to use on the Hakkorians.

Lockan took part in a Karvath- an ancient Dark Alchemist trial of strength, power and superiority and gained the aid of Drudges- a species of slaves used by the Precursors, an army of low-caste Precursor Vanquishers as well as a sect of Exogal Monks, in order to pursue his personal conflict against the Hakkorian Empire. He named his new faction: The Puritans of Tenebra.

To aid him in his quest, Taniox sent two of his adopted daughters- Zorrha Khamariah and Shadow/Shana to serve Lockan.

Quotes:

"Hakkor! You stand judged. Your wretched peace treaty will not save you now. 'Tis the tinder on which you burn!"- The line Lockan's been secretly rehearsing in the mirror for like 10 years.

"You three are guilty of attempted Revolution! Treason! So pronounces - Lockan the Judge!"

"Three months, pan-galactic reckoning. Three months and the Anadytes reach your planet. Even if your champions were capable of acting in unison... your world would still fall."

Lockan: "And what makes you think I'm willing to give the Hakkorians a chance?" Zarla-Tha: "You still like to meet up with me Lockan, which means you must not hate all of us who support change."

Eclipse Corpsmen: "You can't do this. Our governments signed a peace treaty!" Lockan: "My government knows no shame. You Hakkorians and your culture are a disease." Eclipse Corpsmen: "You will never rule Hakkor." Lockan: "No. I will cure it!"

"I don't recall killing your family. I doubt I'll remember killing you either."

"Behold! Your Defenders of Infinity! What fruit have they wrought? Only that my father and his father shall finally know vengeance. People of Hakkor, the time has come to rejoice and renounce your paltry gods! Your salvation is at hand." (In the future)

"Be proud, Hakkorians -- -- for before you perish on this lifeless orb you will be privileged to bear witness to the liberation of the Tenebrae race......and the fulfilment of their ultimate destiny!"- The other line Lockan's been secretly rehearsing in the mirror for like 10 years.

Personality: Lockan the Judge is a proud and passionate crusader who ultimately seeks one goal- the obliteration of the Hakkorian Empire. Lockan holds a strong sense of duty to follow in the footsteps of his people, the Tenebrae's ancient traditions. He delusionally believes that his cause is righteous because his entire life was built upon upholding such traditions- traditions that the Hakkorians threaten. In addition, the war with Hakkor caused him to lose his forefathers in battle and Lockan blames the Hakkorians, who started the war for their deaths. He does not see himself as a fanatic or a terrorist (both of which he is), and in his mind, anyone who refuses to follow them is an enemy who deserves execution.

Brutal, violent, relentless and unforgiving, Lockan stands as an example of rage, fanaticism, uncontrolled hatred and total cruelty. Lockan's painful experiences as a child are the source of this, and despite all attempts to bury his past, emotions from his youth are nonetheless something he channels in order to further his own power.

As a devout Tenebrae purist, Lockan believes that the Precursors were gods in similar fashion to the way the Covenant religion worshipped the Forerunners as gods. Lockan condemns many of the civilisations in the galaxy who worship the Forerunners, pointing out that the Forerunners were the ones to betray the Precursors' will millenia ago. As a Dark Alchemist, Lockan believes that he can ascend to the level of his gods by maximising his powers of Dark Alchemy, which an ancient group of Precursors were the first in the universe to use.

Despite his numerous negative traits, Lockan the Judge possesses a strong sense of honour and justice. Unfortunately, Lockan's definition of when honour and justice are appropriate are massively inverted. In his eyes, murdering trillions of Hakkorians is justice, and there can be no greater honour than death by the hands of a great, noble warrior of the Tenebrae.

Born on Tenebra, the ancestral homeworld of the Tenebrae in a noble family which generations of had fought and died in the Thousand Year Hakkorian-Tenebrae War, Lockan Genvell inherited a connection to the powers of Dark Alchemy from his mother. He was named after Lockan Hazhala, a Tenebrae hero and legendary warrior who was regarded as the Bane of the Hakkorian people for centuries before he died saving the life of Lockan Genvell's father, whom Hazhala was great friends with. Though a smart and astute individual, Lockan suffered abandonment issues from a young age and feared being isolated or left behind by those he cared about. To avoid such a thing happening, Lockan worked his hardest on every part of his life trying to prove he was worthy of a loving family that should take care of him always. Whilst Lockan's great grandfather and grandfather fought in the war, he was able to experience some small semblance of a childhood outside education, however when he reached the age of 7, the worst case scenario for Lockan came to be and his mother and father sent him off to the Tenebrae Dark Alchemist Academy to train as a Dark Alchemist and warrior for the Tenebrae Empire. He had spent the most of his life up till then worried and working tirelessly to avoid such a thing and yet it seemed like he had worked so hard that he made it more likely for him to be sent away. The worst part was that Lockan had no way of understanding the true reasoning behind this to its fullest extent at the time, and he viewed being sent away to the Academy as his parents' way of getting rid of him.

Lockan learned the ways of the greatest warriors of the Tenebrae at the academy, training to be a master of his craft. He learned the Tenebrae religion and worshipped the Precursors daily, but the level of Tenebrae self-righteousness drilled into Lockan's head earned him a distaste for other religions, specifically those that worshipped the Forerunners, the ones who betrayed the Precursors. It was revealed to him that his parents sent him to the academy to train as a warrior because they had been called upon to fight for the Empire against the Hakkorians, and that he too would need to prepare in case the fighting ever required his services. Genvell however didn't understand why the war with Hakkor was even taking place, the Hakkorians did not share their religion yet their destruction was not considered a religious objective, but rather their destruction was simply considered justice.

Lockan continued to excel at his academy, proving his adeptness with Dark Alchemy strong and without restraint- impressing his masters. But the pressures of being named after a legend weighed heavily on Lockan, who was expected to live up to the name. Being a Genvell, one in a long line of great Tenebrae war heroes only fuelled his insecurities. He eventually graduated his formal education with mastery of Dark Alchemy, full knowledge of Tenebrae Law and as an already great warrior.

Enrolled in the Tenebrae Judge Contingent, the elite paramilitary police of the Empire, Lockan did well and was steadily promoted. In a border incident, he stopped a fleet of Kig-Yar ships smuggling narcotics from entering Tenebrae space and saw to it that the Empire deported the Kig-Yar representatives they were being delivered to.

Lockan then successfully brought seven interdimensional criminals to justice after the criminals tried to use a dangerous wave of Cosmic energy to disrupt an entire Tenebrae controlled star system and plunder it of riches with ease, using the local star's solar flares and manipulating them with his Dark Alchemist powers to destroy the machine the criminals used to harness this Cosmic energy and detonate it from other dimensions before it would reach theirs.

Tragedy struck when he heard of his Great Grandfather's death by the hands of Hakkorian Posthumans, causing Lockan to develop the first feelings of genuine disdain for Hakkor. Reportedly, his great grandfather suffered a dishonourable death and was not even allowed to have a hero's duel as all elderly Tenebrae warriors were expected to die in, reinforcing the ideas taught to him that Hakkorian cared not for honour and respect.

He was instrumental in the defeat of several Hakkorian Death Riders- a group of necessary evil outlaw types working for the Hakkorian Empire who attempted to assassinate a Tenebrae Judge. Lockan apprehended the Death Riders, though one- Jegden Vaas, escaped. Lockan then brought the rest before said Judge. Recognising Lockan's skill, the Judge promoted Lockan to a Judge in the Judge Contingent and the two both dealt with sentencing the Death Riders to life in prison.

Now as a Judge, Lockan was given command over his own ship from which he could assume command of any available Tenebrae military force and appropriate them to serve the Judge Contingent. Lockan named his warship The Shining Ascent and began his career as a Judge of the Tenebrae Empire.

At first, Lockan acted as a fair, calm and collected mediator who tried to show honour towards those he battled with or arrested, though his actions sometimes became morally questionable in the pursuit of his goals. During this time, Lockan's Grandfather suffered defeat in battle and was bombarded with Hakkorian laser fire from orbit, killing him and all his fellow soldiers. As a result of this, Lockan's methods slowly became even more and more radical, especially when dealing with the Hakkorian Empire.

Genvell's turning point came when he was shown a carnage report of the Attack on Mae-Varn Station, where Hakkorian Solar Eclipse Corpsmen launched a surprise attack on the Station where Lockan's parents were placed. The carnage report came with a recording- showing the Solar Eclipses destroying the station with their powers. Lockan watched his parents die as they retaliated with full force against the Solar Eclipses, with his mother using Dark Alchemy in an attempt to vanquish them. Her use of Dark Alchemy only made the Solar Eclipses use even more extreme prejudice, and she was reduced to atoms, with his father following shortly after.

Horrified by the footage despite not having spent much time with his parents in his life, Lockan questioned how and why the Solar Eclipses were so cruel, they could've easily knocked his mother and father out, why was it necessary to kill them so brutally? The deaths of his parents dragged Lockan closer to darkness and he was more and more hateful of the Hakkorians in his actions.

Over 7 months following their deaths, Lockan still hadn't been able to let go of the past and surrounded himself with several indulgences. Whilst on the artificial moon Claudaxia, known for its nightclubs and casinos, Lockan was drinking his sorrows away with a Malvoarian Asteroid Vice cocktail, watching Byli'rien dancers as he got himself drunk for the first time in years. Lockan, without anything better to do with his time, decided to remain on Claudaxia for the time being. During this time, Lockan engaged in an intense sexual relationship with Tenebrae Intelligence Officer and Politician Doctor Zarla-Tha and the two fell madly in love for one another. Zarla-Tha and Lockan even made plans to leave service from the Empire and live on Claudaxia together. Lockan was content with this idea and was willing to pursue it, feeling that his good (and pretty damn hot) relationship with his adventurous partner was just what he needed to cool his emotions down and get over the past.

After an intense sexual encounter with her, Lockan received a transmission from the Whogn Durva, the Tenebrae Magistrate- leader of the Judge Contingent, informing him of a new mission. Lockan and Zarla hoped to meet back on Claudaxia after this mission, believing it would be relatively short.

Lockan returned to The Silver Ascent to receive information of the mission. Lockan was to intercept Hakkorian Eclipse Corpsmen who were attempting to travel through the Chasm Nebula- one of few 'Conduit Nebulae' providing clear passage into different areas in the universe. In the Chasm's case, the lower depths of the universe. When Lockan asked why the Hakkorians were travelling through the Chasm Nebula, Durva informed him that his parents logged data into Mae-Varn Station's database, describing that they had observed "a world of interest" beyond the Chasm Nebula that they had also visited, but only once. Lockan and The Silver Ascent were dispatched to follow the Eclipse Corps ship entering the Chasm Nebula.

Following the Eclipse Corps, The Silver Ascent reported to Lockan that they were picking up strange energy signatures. Genvell ordered a listener vessel to be deployed near the Eclipse ship to listen in on their communications and see if they knew what these signatures were. Eventually, a massive energy detonation destroyed the listener vessel and blinded The Silver Ascent's view of the Hakkorian ship. The Silver Ascent stationed itself in orbit around an ice giant and remained there until they could see the Hakkorian ship again. The Hakkorians landed on a large planet further on. Lockan left the ship in a shuttle with several other Tenebrae in shuttles for the Hakkorian ship's location. They arrived to find Hakkorian Eclipse Corpsmen in battle with what appeared to be an army of Anadytes- a race of energy beings. The Tenebrae found themselves in battle with the Anadytes, and Lockan ordered his troops to focus on defeating the attackers and focus on the Hakkorians later. However, when Lockan was hit by an energy detonation from an Anadyte, he was forced to cling onto the edge of a cliff. All his troops were unable to help him, but he noticed someone who was not pinned down- but they were a Hakkorian. As he lost his grip however, Lockan called out for help from anyone, and as his hand slipped from the edge, the hand of a Hakkorian Solar Eclipse reached out and grabbed ahold of him, saving Lockan's life. Lockan was confused as to how and why the Solar Eclipse saved him, but stood by him as they fought off the last of the Anadyte attackers. When the battle ended, the Tenebrae were about to fight the Hakkorians, but Lockan ordered them to stand down- the Solar Eclipse saved his life and Lockan owed him a great deal.

The two groups joined together as their ships were deprived of energy by the Anadytes, forcing them to pool one another's resources. Lockan learned the name of his saviour- Naakon Tenarion. Lockan and Naakon, both leaders of their individual groups, struck up a temporary alliance and they shared their collective understanding of the situation aboard the Hakkorian vessel. After restoring power to the ship, one of the Hakkorians reported Anadyte energy signatures were moving fast through the Nebula, back through the way they came. Realising that they must have been intending to launch a full scale attack on their forces outside the Nebula, Lockan ordered The Silver Ascent's remaining crew to return to the empire and inform them of what they had found.

The group worked on repairing the vessel for around a week, until it was operational again and they took off the planet to follow the Anadytes. When they made their way out, they discovered that the Anadytes had obliterated a nearby Hakkorian Fleet and the star system it was protecting and were spreading fast throughout the galaxy. Vorn-Laisa, Lockan's second in command stated that they needed to warn the galactic community.

When their temporary alliance was recognised, the Magistrate ordered Lockanto return to the Empire and leave his Hakkorian allies behind. Lockan then asked how the Tenebrae planned to deal with the Anadyte Threat, and he responded that they intended to protect their own borders until the threat subsided. However, Lockan disagreed with the notion, having seen the Anadytes in action and their raw power, Lockan refused to return to Tenebrae space and consulted Naakon on his intentions. Naakon said that the Hakkorians intended to do the same thing and play defensively. Lockan and Naakon came to an agreement that they had to play offensively and take the fight to the Anadytes.

Lockan was then framed by the Magistrate and stripped of his Judge rank, the ruling Tenebrae powers remaining ignorant of the threat the Anadytes posed. Lockan later joined with the Protective Wave- a coalition set up by Naakon on the front lines against the Anadytes. Many rank and file Tenebrae trusted Lockan over the commanders appointed by the Magistrate and other leaders, in the war against the Anadytes.

Lockan believed that to better combat the Anadyte threat, there needed to be information on what their goals actually were. Naakon agreed, and searched for an Anadyte Solar Eclipse Corpsmen who would be willing to go undercover to discover their plot. After attracting said corpsmen-the rambunctious Blasnaro, who went undercover, they learned that the Anadytes were after a source of power which they could all collectively share to break through the near-impenetrable Precursor metal shell over a planet on the other end of the Chasm Nebula. These Anadytes were led by Phastonon- a vengeful Anadyte whose home system was left to be devoured by its own star's expansion and never received help or evacuation efforts from the rest of the Galaxy, feeling like his kind was neglected, he wanted to unleash the Flood back into the galaxy and have them devour species of biomass, which of course energy beings like the Anadytes were not and had nothing to fear.

With this information, Lockan, Naakon and the other leaders of the Protective Wave went to work on finding a way of defeating the Anadytes. Unfortunately, they disagreed on how they should go about defeating them. Where Naakon and the others wanted to play the game heroically and build mega-scale energy containment devices to avoid killing the Anadytes, Lockan opted for the quicker, anti-heroic option of taking great sources of power and using them offensively against the Anadytes to overload their structures and dissipate (kill) them.

When the Anadytes later came back to Tenebra with a stronger force, Lockan led a violent attack on them; in which entire power megastations were rocket propelled at the Phastonon's forces and decimated the Anadytes.

Joining up with the rest of the Wave, Lockan and his forces travelled to the Gas Giant Agadan, which was taken over by Kig-Yar Pirates after the Anadytes wiped out the Tenebrae there. The official plan was to strike up a deal with the Kig-Yar to allow them to use Agadan's strategic position as a staging base, but Lockan slipped behind the delegation alone, killing a few pirates occupying the palace whilst on his way to an elevator which would take him to the core of the gas giant, where he intended to unearth 14,000 Tenebrae Sentries hidden there for centuries to combat the Anadytes. When he reached them, he activated the Sentries using Dark Lightning, and ordered them all to rise up from the core and join the Protective Wave.

He got back up to the palace to find that the delegation had failed and pirates were threatening Naakon and the others. Lockan then rushed to kill the pirates and free the palace and by extension planet of their control. After this, Naakon scolded Lockan for his actions, but Lockan retorted that he was just doing what was necessary.

After a several month campaign across the galaxy neutralising the Anadytes, the Protective Wave took the fight directly to Phastonon who coordinated the Anadyte attacks from the safety of a quantum asteroid field. Lockan, Naakon, Vel 'Urtum, John Dalters and Malos all led the attack on Phastonon. Though it was slow for the front to move due to the destructive nature of the quantum asteroid field, the Wave made it through the outer blockade, but with terrible losses. Lockan the unleashed the 11,542 remaining Tenebrae Sentries to attack and clear the field with seismic bombs.

Once the Sentries blasted a new way through into Phastonon's fortress- a hollow, lengthy space rock holding all the sources of power the Anadytes had taken. Lockan, Naakon and Dalters all melted an entrance into the rock and battled with his guards. Lockan and Dalters reached Phastonon whilst Naakon held off the guards. But they were too late as Phastonon had donned a set of armour built by an unknown race of god-like beings that prevented his energy form from being overloaded and dissipated. Lockan and Dalters had to somehow remove the armour, held onto Phastonon's body by his own energy, in order to defeat him. Genvell tried to outdo Phastonon's own power by using Dark Alchemy to wrestle the armour off of him. When this totally foolproof tactic failed, Dalters harnessed interdimensional powers to split the armour into separate dimensions whilst Lockan blasted Phastonon with Dark Lightning, straining Phastonon's grip over his protection. When Phastonon finally lost his god-armour, Lockan threw a power core at him and energised it with dark energy whilst Naakon arrived on the scene to prevent Lockan from feeling the need to kill Phastonon by using a forced-reality lock on the Anadyte, dampening Phastonon's powers and then trapping him inside a temporal bubble which would keep him frozen in time.

With the Anadyte threat largely defeated, the original founding members of the Protective Wave were ordered to return to their respective factions and return all the sources of power. Lockan and Naakon disobeyed their orders however and travelled back to the Chasm Nebula on the basis that if they returned the power sources then their factions would simply fight over them. Using information gathered by Blasnaro, the Tenebrae and Hakkorians travelled to an unpopulated world in the lower depths of the universe- Planet S-493 on the other side of the Chasm Nebula, the planet that Phastonon intended to release the Flood from. Taking the power sources with them with the intention of detonating them all on the planet and wiping out the infestation of Flood. After they broke through the barrier-shell of Precursor metals and rock, the group were about to launch the power sources at the planet surface, only for the Flood Gravemind on the planet to use tentacles to grab ahold of their vessel. Lockan tried to launch them using his powers, but Naakon's attempted use of his own Solar Eclipse powers to kill the Flood blasted in Lockan's face and knocked him out of the vessel. The ship crashed, and the survivors met up. Naakon and Lockan agreed that they had to either detonate the power sources soon, which the Gravemind had taken into the centre of the hive or close up the barrier shell fast before the Flood could make it out and infect the galaxy. The group went on a long trip around the planet in search for a way into the hive that was somewhat survivable. Unfortunately for Lockan, the majority of his Tenebrae soldiers were lost. At a gorge which opened up into a much larger gorge, the group battled Flood, getting rid of most by pushing them back into the gorge, but then, a Flood Juggernaut grabbed ahold of both Lockan and Naakon. Naakon then blasted the Juggernaut with his powers, but it ended up being a foolish tactic as the blast knocked the juggernaut away with Lockan still in grip, and the juggernaut then fell into the gorge with the Tenebrae.

Lockan crashed into the floor but survived after a long plummet, surrounded by Flood and other natural terrors which he fought through. He battled them for hours upon hours, hoping that the group would come back for him. Some time later, they had not come back even two days. Lockan continued cutting through the Flood, and eventually felt like he had been left behind by the Hakkorians, especially since most of his soldiers died. He continued to defend Naakon though, as his friendship with him was genuine.

Believing he could detonate the power cores himself, Lockan fought his way to the centre of the Flood hive, overtime being more and more mentally deconstructed and horrified by the Gravemind. The Gravemind mortified Lockan with visions of terrible things happening to the Tenebrae. The Gravemind continued to torture his mind until he reached the centre of the hive and found none other than a Crystal which seemed to be hypnotic to the Gravemind- it was a Precursor Crystal. Lockan received visions from the crystal and heard voices telling him to take it in his hands. Lockan was won over by the intense dark energies and beheld the crystal, triggering something. Several ghosts then appeared before Lockan- all of whom were his ancestors- Dark Alchemists. The Dark Alchemist Ghosts told Genvell who they were and each talked about how the Hakkorians had led to their deaths. They also lamented over the fact that it was the Hakkorians who started the 1000 year war in the first place by setting on a mission to eradicate Dark Alchemists from the galaxy. Genvell refused to listen, not feeling the continuation of war with Hakkor was justified simply by them starting it. But the Dark Alchemists, now joined by the ghosts of Lockan's parents, continued to talk about how even to this day, the Hakkorians intended for the same thing to happen as they had from day one. Lockan's great great grandfather then informed him that it was the exact same thing that his 'friend' Naakon had just done to him- left him for dead. Even then, the Hakkorians had been sinister enough to make sure the Flood killed all of Lockan's soldiers instead of them, so he would have nobody to save him.

Lockan shut the ghosts out, mortified by the concept. He would've left the crystal but the knowledge and power the ghosts could bestow upon him overwhelmed him and he took it with him, making his escape from the Flood hive.

Across the next few long, painful days of slaughtering Flood, Lockan continued to have his soul ripped apart by his ancestors who continually drilled into his head the idea that the Hakkorians wanted him dead, always wanted him dead. To support this, they showed him snippets of Naakon's actions after Lockan's fall into the gorge, showing his troops telling him to leave him behind, then the loss of the last Tenebrae soldier to the Flood, and so on. The Hakkorians wanted Lockan dead. They wanted him dead. Dead, dead, dead. Genvell was slowly but surely being coerced, but he didn't change his views truly until he saw with his own eyes Naakon receiving a transmission from the Eclipse Corps asking if the Dark Alchemist had been killed, to which Naakon replied "yes". Lockan, believing this was all a set up from the very start, began to put the pieces together and realised that all the shortcomings in his life happened because of the Hakkorians- they started the war, the Hakkorians continued for a thousand years with the narrative that Dark Alchemists had to be destroyed, never once backing down. As a result, so many of Lockan's proud ancestry died in dishonourable ways, and his own childhood was taken away from him because his parents were forced to fight against the Hakkorian Empire, robbing him of a life and giving Lockan years of ignorant resentment toward his parents, meaning that he couldn't even tell his parents that he loved them before they were killed by Hakkorians for the very same reason- Dark Alchemy. And now Naakon Tenarion, the one Hakkorian he believed to be an example of the opposite, had done the exact same thing to him. As Lockan continued to battle his way out of a metaphorical hell which Naakon's own actions got him into, his position changed dramatically and he brooded over his entire life being ruined by people like Naakon. Lockan then roared angrily, declaring vengeance on Hakkor.

Lockan just made it out of the Flood Hive when he saw the Hakkorians were still on the planet, still trying to find a safe way of detonating the power sources. Genvell approached the Hakkorians without saying a word, he wanted his entrance to be a surprise. Naakon was then charged into by a Flood Brawler, separated from his helmet which activated the implant connecting him to the powers of a Solar Eclipse, Naakon had to grip onto the edge of a cliff just like Lockan did at the start of the Anadyte threat. Naakon scramed out for help, only to receive none- his troops were all pinned down. Lockan was suddenly presented with a choice that would define his character for the rest of his life- either choose the path of light and save Naakon's life as he had done for Lockan before, or choose the path of darkness and let Naakon fall to his death. Lockan, teetering on either choice, walked up to the edge that Naakon gripped onto and made sure he saw him. Naakon exclaimed a cry of relief that Lockan was still alive and Lockan was about to extend his hand out to do something with the Solar Eclipse, still unsure of what he was going to do. When presented with the choice between light and dark however by Naakon asking for his help, Lockan ultimately chose the path of darkness, fuelled by his anger and his resentment he had gained from his experience in the hellscape that was the Flood hive and the numerous ancestral ghosts which pushed him to do it. Lockan's open hand then gripped ahold of his particle sword and he activated it, using it to slice Naakon's fingers off and make him fall into the Flood hive. Lockan kept a stale and bittee expression at Naakon's pleas and screams. Lockan turned to face the rest of the Hakkorians, stepping on Naakon's helmet and destroying it. He used his powers to destroy the Flood occupying them and then engaged in battle with them, killing them all one by one.

After murdering all the Hakkorians, he then turned back, deciding to take Naakon's helmet as a trophy and proof of what he had just done, intending to bring it straight to the Magistrate on Tenebra and get his job as a Judge back.

Lockan made it back to Tenebra after sealing up the barrier shell and going back through the Chasm Nebula. Lockan was told by the guards to the Supreme Court on Tenebra that he was not allowed access due to his actions, so Lockan, fuelled by his anger that they still believed that he was sided with the Hakkorians, fought his way to the meeting room where the Magistrate and other Judges were conferring. He arrived, blasting the door apart and storming in with the helmet of a Solar Eclipse. He dropped it at the feet of the Magistrate and gave a scolding, intense glare. The Magistrate, shocked and amazed, reinstated Lockan Genvell as a Judge of the Tenebrae Empire's Judge Contingent.

Lockan met back up with Zarla-Tha after not having seen her for a long time. To his surprise, she actually remained faithful to him and waited his return. But Lockan's darker undertones even she couldn't relieve him of, and she worried for the first time that Genvell was simply too far gone and too caught up in his past to pursue a healthy relationship with.

For the next 7 years, Lockan went on a ruthless quest, murdering Hakkorians and all who belived Dark Alchemists needed to be destroyed. In doing so, Lockan took part in numerous war crimes and allied himself with individuals across the galaxy even the Tenebrans considered cruel and vile. In the Obsidian Dreadlord Taniox's quest to obtain the Dread Stones- seven stones that could control cosmic forces and cause mass destruction on a universal scale, Lockan, who now sought to bring about genocide against the Hakkorian people, agreed to aid Taniox in his search for The Sphere- a relic of ancient power (Actually housing the Dread Stone of Power) in exchange for Taniox' promise to attack the Hakkorian homeworld- Hakkor and raze it to the ground.

Zarla-Tha eventually started intentionally seeing Lockan less and worried more about her beloved. Seeking to force Lockan to change his ways, she started a campaign for the war with Hakkor to end, believing that Lockan would never argue ultimately with the will of the Tenebran people as a whole.

Under the order of Taniox, Lockan led an attack on the Jiralhanae world of Ohvat. The population of the planet was randomly divided according to how overpopulated Taniox believed it to be and the surplus was killed by Lockan's Tenabrae soldiers. Lockan himself attacked a the village of the Ettarg tribe, in search of a shaman who was supposedly communicating with 001732990417 Black Solitude, the fabled monitor of the Omega Halo Installation, but Lockan failed to find the shaman.

Lockan then personally killed two individuals- Ziena, an ex-tribeswoman and Erisa, her daughter, in a tent, finding their dying screams to be pitiful. This murder was observed by Haxus the Devastator- husband of Ziena and father of Erisa, and the legendary warrior of the Ettarg tribe, who immediately challenged Lockan in an angry fit of rage, only for Lockan to leave the scene via a teleporter, leaving Haxus to fall to the ground and mourn over the corpses of his wife and daughter, making him swear to have bloody revenge on Lockan for what he did.

Several years later, the Magistrate was ousted from his position and the Tenebrae leaders began to see the cruelty of their ways and the corruptness of their military branches. After investigations took place, Lockan eventually lost his high standing with the Tenebrae Empire and the Judge Contingent was demobilised. However, he continued going by his title- Lockan the Judge.

Not long after, the war between the Tenebrae Empire and the Hakkorian Empire cooled down and tensions began to soften amidst the realisation that the war was becoming pointless- thanks to Zarla-Tha's campaign. Lockan tried to keep it going but his loss of power made it impossible to do so as the majority of Tenebrans were tired of war and only purists like Lockan wanted to keep going. The two factions soon signed a peace treaty to end the war, and Lockan was so disgusted and ashamed that he fled the Empire, feeling that he and his entire Genvell lineage had been betrayed after they had all died for the empire and he had committed himself to Hakkor's death. He tried to take Zarla-Tha with him, but realised that she was embracing this new future, causing the two to end their romantic relationship and only meet in future for sexual encounters, breaking Zarla-Tha's heart every time they would meet again in the future at the prospect of not being able to change him. Although the Judges were being reinstated after serious reform, Lockan was able to take back control of his warship- The Silver Ascent, taking an army of Tenebrae Purists and Dark Alchemists, including personal friend General Obath Kalell with him.

Travelling the galaxy, Lockan had The Silver Ascent totally remoddelled, redesigned and retrofitted with Precursor and Dark Alchemist technology in the style of traditional Tenebrae architecture, and so it became The Opaque Ascent- his new instrument of destruction to use on the Hakkorians.

Lockan took part in a Karvath- an ancient Dark Alchemist trial of strength, power and superiority and gained the aid of Drudges- a species of slaves used by the Precursors, an army of low-caste Precursor Vanquishers as well as a sect of Exogal Monks, in order to pursue his personal conflict against the Hakkorian Empire. He named his new faction: The Puritans of Tenebra.

To aid him in his quest, Taniox sent two of his adopted daughters- Zorrha Khamariah and Shadow/Shana to serve Lockan.

Quotes:

"Hakkor! You stand judged. Your wretched peace treaty will not save you now. 'Tis the tinder on which you burn!"- The line Lockan's been secretly rehearsing in the mirror for like 10 years.

"You three are guilty of attempted Revolution! Treason! So pronounces - Lockan the Judge!"

"Three months, pan-galactic reckoning. Three months and the Anadytes reach your planet. Even if your champions were capable of acting in unison... your world would still fall."

Lockan: "And what makes you think I'm willing to give the Hakkorians a chance?" Zarla-Tha: "You still like to meet up with me Lockan, which means you must not hate all of us who support change."

Eclipse Corpsmen: "You can't do this. Our governments signed a peace treaty!" Lockan: "My government knows no shame. You Hakkorians and your culture are a disease." Eclipse Corpsmen: "You will never rule Hakkor." Lockan: "No. I will cure it!"

"I don't recall killing your family. I doubt I'll remember killing you either."

"Behold! Your Defenders of Infinity! What fruit have they wrought? Only that my father and his father shall finally know vengeance. People of Hakkor, the time has come to rejoice and renounce your paltry gods! Your salvation is at hand." (In the future)

"Be proud, Hakkorians -- -- for before you perish on this lifeless orb you will be privileged to bear witness to the liberation of the Tenebrae race......and the fulfilment of their ultimate destiny!"- The other line Lockan's been secretly rehearsing in the mirror for like 10 years.
