Locke Sonjie is a Dark Jedi Knight in the Dark Brotherhood. Born on Bakura in 9 ABY, he was a farmer until 26 ABY, when he left home to join the Republic military in defense of the galaxy during the Yuuzhan Vong War. He would go on to serve in many battles, first as a soldier and later as a pilot. After the war ended, as Locke tried to decide to do with his life, he met Taigikori Aybara, who recruited Locke to the Dark Brotherhood.


History

Before the Brotherhood

Early Years

Locke was born on Bakura in 9 ABY. His mother was a former politician and his father was a farmer. Growing up, Locke always looked to the sky, wishing he could go into space, but he never knew more than the farm he grew up on. He had an older sister, who he barely knew, who left the farm when Locke was only eleven years old. His parents were always very quiet about where she went, and Locke never found out.

The Yuuzhan Vong War

In 26 ABY, Locke left home to join the New Republic Defense Forces in their fight against the Yuuzhan Vong invaders. Though he was only 17 standard years old at the time, Locke was allowed to join because of the dire circumstances of the conflict. At first Locke served as a basic foot soldier, but as the war raged, and the New Republic’s forces began to deplete, he found himself a pilot as well.

As the war dragged on, Locke made many friends and most of them were killed in action. Many times he miraculously survived a situation, only to wonder afterward why he had lived and his friends had not. This guilty conscience lay heavily on Locke throughout the closing days of the war. Only later would he learn that it was because of his natural Force affinity that he was able to survive when others often could not. After the war’s end, Locke was released from the military among many others because the fragile Galactic Alliance could not handle the financial strain of paying so many personnel.

Before leaving, he learned that his older sister had become a Jedi Knight, and had died during the war. This only piled onto what Locke had already heard and experienced of the Jedi. In his view, they had not used the Force as a weapon to anywhere near its full potential, resulting in the death of many of his friends in battle. In addition, Locke had heard the rumors of the Jedi leadership’s indecisiveness throughout much of the war, as had many others in the galaxy. By the time Locke left for home, he hated the Jedi.


Descent Into Darkness

While Locke was hopping from world to world on his way back to Bakura, he was confronted by a Dark Jedi named Taigikori Aybara. Taigikori revealed Locke’s latent Force abilities to him, and offered him an invitation to join the Dark Brotherhood. Locke was skeptical and hesitant, but he had no love for the Jedi, and realized that he would be among the like-minded if he joined the Dark Brotherhood, in addition to being able to improve his abilities with the Force. Locke first stepped food in the Shadow Academy in 30 ABY.

Among the Brotherhood

Arcona

At first, Locke found himself in Clan Arcona as Taigikori’s apprentice. When it came time to choose his Order, Locke chose the Krath, feeling that he could learn the most about the Force that way. He learned a lot quickly, but found it difficult to fit in. Whereas with the Galactic Alliance he had fought to protect something and help others, here most of his fellow Dark Jedi were vying for personal gain above all else. This was a sharp contrast to Locke’s personality, and he soon left after only a few months, telling only his Master at the time.

Wanderer

For a time, Locke wondered the galaxy. He considered returning to his parents, but with all he had learned, he did not think that would be a good idea. He briefly considered the Jedi Order, but this only caused a resurgence in his hatred, and Locke became more and more bitter. Finally, after wandering the galaxy for more than two years, Locke was again contacted by Taigikori Aybara. Locke returned to the Dark Brotherhood, feeling that there was no other place he could turn to for knowledge and friends.

Naga Sadow

Upon Locke’s return, he transferred to Clan Naga Sadow. Almost right away, Teu Pepoi took Locke as her apprentice to complete his training. With Clan Naga Sadow, Locke participated battles to subjugate rebellion on Aeotheran and stop an Ekind uprising on Tarthos. He completed his training and was elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight around the same time. Currently, Locke is a member of House Marka Ragnos.

DJB Facts

Possessions

Aside from his clothing and lightsaber, Locke keeps few physical possessions. Due to constantly moving from world to world during the Yuuzhan Vong War, he is used to carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. These experiences have caused Locke to develop a minimalistic approach when possible. His one treasured physical possession is his lightsaber, as it is a testament to his way of life.

Personality

Growing up on a farm, isolated from most social contact has caused Locke to be fairly quiet. The main exception to this is in a military situation. Years of war helped Locke open up a little, and he tends to be livelier in battle. Locke values life, and sees the way many of his fellow Dark Jedi kill their subordinates as pointless and wasteful. Even if he is angry with a subordinate, to Locke, they are better left alive to serve a use once again. While kind and reserved in peaceful situations, he can be aggressive in combat.

Order

While Locke chose Krath for the pursuit of knowledge, deciding that learning the Force would complement his abilities learned in the war, he has a difficult time escaping his past life. While not as good at combat as the average Obelisk, Locke often finds himself enjoying battle and fits into combat situations easily. Nevertheless, Locke has developed a thirst for knowledge that he feels can never be quenched, so he has decided to stay a Krath.
